I'll promise you this, WOS98.  You don't have to worry about your kids getting cheated like that if y'all play in our house next year.  But then again, that's why even Dan Hooks chooses to live in Bridge City.

We won in regulation, we couldn't protect our lead in the extended period.  Nah, the entire second half, when the Stangs were behind, the clock would stop after every play.... regardless of who had the ball, if the play never went out of bounds, time out wasn't  called, no first down made, or anything.... clock would stop and then not restart until the ref spotted the ball, noticed the clock stopped, and windmilled until the qb was under center.  I'm sure the ump had to ice his shoulder Thursday night from swinging that thing over and over, trying to get the timekeeper to get it moving again (when the stangs were behind, that is...). That's when the timekeeper would restart the clock.  There was an easy 12-15 seconds that WEREN'T run off of the clock after every play while the stangs were behind.  Then, when we didn't protect the ball and lost our lead with 1:57 left in the game, suddenly the timekeeper can't figure out how to stop the clock from spinning.  They had to put time BACK on the clock 3 times in the final 1:57 seconds.  If you have 15 or so errors in the timekeeping, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF WHICH FAVORS THE MUSTANGS...... well, it is what it is. We get it, WOS... the timekeeper was just giving his 112%, too. Too bad that one adult couldn't keep things in perspective.

BC 8A by scoring more points than the ponies.  Again. 

Bah..... BC is going to go bananas if they ever beat WOS.

Hey, Rake..... How's that WOS 8th A playing?  All I'm hearing is gossip from the kids.

Keep sleeping on us....  BC will be in the playoffs again. 

No offense, but did they ever start assigning the best football minds to coach the 7th graders? I always thought seventh grade coaches were the guys that coach mostly because they don't want to drive a bus.

BC 8A beat CO Wilson 8A.....  14-6.  Keep your head up, dawgs...y'all are going to win some games this year!

Who was responsible for Bridge City becoming the Cardinals?  I mean, seriously...what qualities does a cardinal have that we are trying to exemplify?  A voracious appetite for earthworms?  Somebody should have lost their job over that crap.

Don't worry about broadcasting BC's... we're all going to BE at the game.

Silsbee will finish in third place this year..... a three-peat if you will.  BC isn't looking to drop down quite yet. 

A color man?  DAS RACIST!!!!

We'll know a lot more on August 31st....

BC vs. WOS

[quote name="Majestyk" post="1233092" timestamp="1340847459"] Strange.  WO-S usually top 10 as a given due to past history and reputation.  This year they have several D1 candidates and rank 23.  DCTF puts high emphasis on D1 prospects and returning starters on making their rankings.  This may be good for WO-S although they may not bust the top 10 due to their schedule.  But I do see them making a post season run.  The defense sounds pretty stout from what I've been reading. [/quote] They have to get past a pretty good BC team and Silsbee team in district.

The answer is easier than the current high school OC.  Some levels of STJFL field as many as three teams per age group from Lumberton.  Most of the other schools that are represented in Lumberton's district field 2 or three teams as well.  Since Lumberton has only one Junior High, you condense two or three teams worth of talent into one team, while Port Neches AND Groves field multiple teams... Nederland fields multiple teams, too.  Each of those teams continues to develop multiple layers of talent, and eventually merge to form a high school unit from the best kids from as many as four 8th grade teams.  The kids from Lumberton are at a disadvantage because they don't get to develop in practice and games, up to the point that a lot of good kids give up over lack of involvement before they ever develop into their full potential.  There really isn't a good solution for that problem. Lots of empty seats on the L-train these days, btw....

Bridge City, of course.  I'm excited to see BC taking on some good non-district opponents. 

Man, that's a disappointment.  I thought they needed an assistant Facebook Coach.  I think I would be good at coaching kids about the 'book and several other social media sites. 

So, if y'all had converted for two, you would have squeaked out a tie?  I stand corrected.  Just admit that we won handily in 2011, and admit that if y'all hadn't gone to play Pop Warner in 2010, you would have likely lost to us then, too.  If not, we'll just have to agree to wait and see what happens when these two teams meet up again this year. Ok, who besides me and Rake is excited about seeing a little BC-WOS 8th grade football?

Yeah, that was back when 21 year old roughnecks still suited up and played for HD.  Or so i've been told.

The fact is this.  Y'all were lucky to avoid getting beat in your own house by the Cards last year.  There wasn't a butt on the bleachers on either side until we got stopped on fourth down, driving for the lead in the final minute.  So when you guys come on here, talking about shutting out every opponent in district, and wondering whether or not your're ever going to lose a district game... Well, it's motivating.  Did you notice that you guys aren't even ranked this year?  It's kinda like when everybody knows that some guy's fly is open but him.  It's gonna be sweet.   

I'll tell you like this.  You were at that game, too, obviously.  And I distinctly remember that your boys didn't like getting hit.  A lot of the WOS fans were complaining about our boys hitting too hard.  And also remember how those WOS kids couldn't tackle to save their lives.  I remember when our RB hurdled one of your DBs on the way to another touchdown... The photo was on KOGT.  It looked like that DB hadn't tried to tackle too many people.  And honestly, after taking a year off from competitive football to play a little Pop Warner, I shouldn't have been surprised by how bad y'all looked.  Besides, we took our starters out at the half.  This year we're running it up. 

Playing good competition makes you better... It's nice to have cross-town rivals as tough as you guys.  Seems like it was fourth and goal in the Mustang red zone with under a minute left as were were trying to score and take the lead last year.  We didn't convert, and your streak remains intact.  You see, that's the good thing about our rivalry.  We have nothing to lose.  You're the ones that one day will have to watch a bunch of people dressed in red celebrating like they just won the Olympics. There will be kids in blue with their bottom lips stuck out.... clipboards will be thrown around on the Mustang sideline.... Somebody's going to dump the gatorade on Coach Stump...  We're all going to want our picture taken with your mascot, etc.... You see, late on the night of November 2, it really won't matter if WOS gets another W.  But if BC gets the win, you guys will be the chumps that let those kids from BC take one from you.  I'm ready..... Are y'all?
