Sometimes you have to ignore people that don't have any sense. To say The Mecca has all those D1 Recruits that can't win the Big Game. Better yet get out the 2nd Round. All imma tell 14.2 is get you one. (STATE CHAMPIONSHIP) I WOULD GIVE YOU SOME INSIGHT, BUT KEEP SLEEPING ON WOS KIDS.

I think its good that we are under the radar.  

Dang Lumberton makes the playoffs with Babin as his first year as head coach and can't get any respect? Keep doubting my Raiders and see what happens. These boys are working hard to prove everyone wrong again next season

If BISD would zone properly, district 22-5A could be:
West Brook
Central
Ozen
PA Memorial
Nederland
PNG
Lumberton
Vidor
Longest drive would be 45 mins
(Put Livingston in 21-5A)
 

I personally like the 9 team district. Only two non-district games then it all really matters. 21-5a has been a 9 team district for years. The one's I think are silly is the districts that have 5 or 6 teams and 4 make the playoffs. That's ridiculous.  I also think the Westbrook thing is crazy.  Couldn't BISD solve the problem their self and re-zone their schools to make three 5a schools ?

Man, this district will be tight. I don't think there is a clear cut favorite or top two. I think the 4th spot comes down to Central, Lumberton, and Ozen. But, I have no idea what these schools have coming back for the most part.

I don't disagree that the better team on that day won.  Central's defense played lights out that game.  My reply was directed to you saying Livingston has virtually no shot in making the playoffs in 5A, right along with Ozen, Lumberton, Vidor and Lee...
Central is a good football team but not good enough to be talking down on the 5 teams mentioned.  And you can talk about how we beat up on small schools in pre-district all you want.  The fact remains that when district started Central beat the same teams that Lumberton beat and lost to the same teams that Lumberton lost to.  The Lumberton/Central game was decided on a last second hail mary pass to a receiver that had a 10in height advantage over our CB.  So just how much better do you think Central is than Lumberton.  Because I just don't see it.
 
 

You know that it is a shame that coaches have to deal with that kind of crap. You have little Johnny out there that's not cutting the mustard and his parents think he is the best thing sense sliced bread, and mom or dad is on the school board. Now they want the coach removed because little Johnny didn't start or play enough. I'm not on any school board, but I will say this, I told my son when he started school ball that he was on his own. If he don't cut the mustard then he rides the pine, end of story.

Wait...this reminds me of something.
Oh that's right.  I can't help but think about the time I had some clients tell me what an idiot Gary Kubiak was.  And how he was a disgrace to the coaching world.  And how the Texans would never have a shot at the superbowl with him as head coach.  Someone remind me please...How did Kubiak do this past season.  I'm forgetful these days.
Yep.  This sounds a lot like that.  I just love when people think they can do it better than people being paid to do a job.
So easy to blame coaches.  

see, thats the problem right there. If any parent in this area wants to gripe about a "tough" workout, drive down Newton street to the back of the WOS fieldhouse from August to December. Then they will see what a real "tough" workout is. All you hear from other places is people saying why cant we be like them? Or how do they continue to do it? Well because we didnt call it a "tough" workout at WOS, we just always called it normal practice. Its a mind set people. Plain and simple. #2015Statechamps is what that gets you......
 
Sorry, off soap box now. LOL. Just irks me when I hear parents gripe about coaches being too hard on their kids.

Would be great if they had signing day at one central location for the area schools. A table set up to represent each high school.

They'll have a new coach by season's end

Lamar cleaned up around here! Big Red in the house!
 

Yarbro commited to Louisiana College last night and LeBlanc #27 commited to Lamar yesterday!!! So proud of my Raiders and beyond excited to be able to go watch Dreston LeBlanc at Lamar

Lumberton HS really needs all the prayers they can get right now. A student from LHS took his life last night and I'm hearing people have seen so many heartbroken students at LHS

When you have a great defense....you need a slow, boring offense....like Katy......the longer the offense is on the field...the more rest the already good defense gets......Katy outscored opponents 778-62 this season.....

WO-S did us all proud.   East Texas and DFW talk constant trash about how much better they are than us in SE Texas.  Let this championship show all of our programs it can be done. What does WO-S have this year that put them over the top?   They believe they can win, heck they believe they better win.  They don't play for moral victories they play for trophies.  I get excited when SE Texas brings home State titles in baseball, basketball or even track, but nothing, in my book, compares to winning a Texas high school football championship!
Congrats again Mustangs, you guys earned it.  Can't wait to see who steps up next in our area to bring home the crown.   We have the talent.   

Hf Kendrick king will be playing 12th annual Max Emfinger Bowl in Hammond,Louisiana on Jan 2 & has received a super gold chip rating for west team

okay guys, i hear alot of excuses. i'll use my team for the PERFECT example. since it's opening, PAM has produced many D1 prospects and even a couple of NFL players. BRAND NEW FACILITIES!!! probably the best field house in the area. PAM have the luxury of getting ALL middle school talent and a chance to implement it's program on the lower levels, since all the coaches work together. IMO, there was NO REASON FOR PAM TO FINISH 1ST OR 2ND IN DISTRICT!!! there is no reason for the great defensive players of PAM history, to have a defense EVERY YEAR THAT GET TRUCKED FOR 200 YARDS ON THE GROUND!!! i know we are not coaches. but J.C., if it's obvious to us i know it's obvious to other teams that you will just hand it off to the RB because your son can't run or he looks at one WR. i'm not saying PAM should be at state every year. i'm saying as a fan, 5th or better and 4th rd on a rebuilding year! right now, do fundraisers to send our offensive lineman to a camp!! if you know they are lacking in experience DO SOMETHING!! yeah, it does fall on the kids to WANT IT, but as a coach, you got to motivate them!! coaches should go to some colleges like a&m or go see what tom at u of h is doing and maybe implement that in your program. as an area, i know everyone says there is no industry, nobody wants to live here. i get that. when i look at ALL teams in the area and see all this size, speed and strength OMG!!! it's not like we have 5'7 fat slow lineman in the area. all the talk about coaches can only do what they have to work with is something they have brain washed you with over the years. sorry bulldogs, but neumann have yall drinking the JJ kool aid too. yes, ya'll make the playoffs very consistent...2-3 rds. you guys cheer and are pretty content with that and he's thinking, welp got the boys in the playoffs, that's all that matters, the community is happy, i'm getting paid, life is good. DEMAND MORE!! i know i will demand more out of xbox this year and i'm sure alot of people will STARTING WITH THE QB SITUATION!!! i personally know a team that the fans told the coach he was not wanted and will do whatever to get him gone and he left!! they did more than once too!! i will leave WO-S out of this and to be honest with you, it's more of their district and seeding why they make it as far. VERY GOOD TEAM WITH GOOD COACHING, but be real, that district is a cupcake factory!! at the end of the day though, I STILL SAY EDUCATION IS FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT!! but as a fan of a team in the area and just looking at all teams in the area, we about 10 years behind!! hell look at the stadiums!!! you have 4 stadiums in the area with artificial playing surfaces. PAM, BMT, PN-G,and silsbee!! is lumberton turf yet? i could be missing one, but the point is look how long it took!!! for PAM it took a mud bowl to get it and i'm still teed off about the restroom at PAM(non pun intended). SAME RESTROOMS WITH ONE TROUGH AND 2 TOILETS SINCE I WAS 6 YEARS OLD!!! I'M 40 AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!

Well I've been trying to explain since the time my account was created the reasons the rest of the state is leaving setx behind.  Especially in football and education.  Especially since my previous post was to a WOS fan.
It's simple.
Money = high quality coaches, high quality teachers, more coaches, more coaches that have fewer or no classroom assignments, nicer facilities (venue/weight room/locker rooms/ library/etc..) which attract families/players, players in summer speed/strength camps, 7 on 7 summer tournaments (sponsored), personal training.  It's a slow process but money can and does buy wins.  
Typical setx attitude is "well this is how we did it in 1980 and it's good enough".
There are always exceptions...but for the most part look at ALL football state champions over the last decade, and look at their facilities, coach's salary, average household income in school district...  Like I said, there are some that don't necessarily apply.  But it is no coincidence that the same schools/areas are making deep runs every year in football.

Sikes verbally committed on Dec 1st when coaches Langston and Woodard came up to the school to offer him. He wants to major in Engineering and there isn't a much better place to do so. He's going to be a Cardinal. Peck 'em!!

There  is only 29 kids on the roster that are from se/texas sw/lousiana out of about 105. I would like to see that number grow to about 70 out of the 105 being local. There is too much talent in this area getting away from here.  Lamar could be a top team with just local talent.

Well, it's on his twitter now lol. Mason Sikes, the soon to be two time first team all-district tight end from Lumberton. 

Chuck Langston out recruiting. That's the difference imo, he's a Beaumont boy and is getting the local talent. Great guy by the way!
