Navarro didn't run the Slot-T worth a crud and went to the spread several times. For a bunch of high school kids I believe this would be a little too complicated. When they ran out of the slot and the very few times they cut up the field off tackle (like you're supposed to) they were able to make some yardage. Trying to outrun WOS to the sideline without Ezekial Elliot was just stupid. 10 out of 10 times WOS beats this team...to me they just weren't that good. And, no way I kick, punt or anything else that let's KJ put his hands on the football. Regardless of the team he is the best football player in SE Texas, period. TxHoops, I don't think it matters what offense you run; you're not gonna beat WOS. To me, your only hope is holding on the football and running the spread insures that they get their hands on the ball once every 2.5 to 3 minutes. Game over.

You guys are very blessed to have a bunch of kids like this...enjoy your ride to the max!

Congrats purple indian!

You can get them at the gate no problem.

Game over.

Update?

Wow!

At the game, 50 yard line, wish liltex were here. GO MUSTANGS!!!!

Please, before I believe a word you say about scheduling games with WOS, I will ask Jeff. Don't put it on here if you don't know it to be true. We scrimmage each other every year and I'm sure there is a reason we don't play y'all, BC, LCM and Orangefield every year since we are in the same county. SMH.

Same here...what openings are you talking about? Jeff Mathews and Vidor play out of state teams on a regular basis. We had a home and away with Florida teams recently. Let me know what you're looking for and I'll forward to Jeff. We run 1400 kids...same classification as the Washington school would be.

I'm not really talking about small schools nor was I disrespecting WOS; I would have said inferior if I meant inferior. My point is valid...if school size meant nothing then WOS would have beaten Richmond Foster last year. Richmond kept running out defensive line, then backup defensive line, etc. etc. They beat WOS down. It's not apples and apples and it is not a dig at WOS; I respect that school too much for that. However, they wouldn't make three rounds of 5A ball because they would run out of gas due to lack of depth. Hard to play against a team that suits up 40 - 50 seniors. Cedar Park, 5A Div. 2 champs last year enrollment 1949. Seriously! I could merge all the Orange schools and not get that number.

Absolutely. Playing mostly seniors, playing one way, backups for injuries. It makes a HUGE difference.

Yoakum gonna be a test for Malakoff...they come from a tough, football playing area and are battle tested. I still got the Tigers by 3, 35 - 32.

Coaches had those in possession back in my day.....great motivator.

Making my point about population decreasing. It took WOS moving to 4A Div. 2 to accomplish it.

Coming around to my way of thinking, huh! Alas, then Marshall ran into 5A CS who was split out of one school from one area that is on a SUPER growth spurt, CS/B. Same as Nederland vs. Georgetown 2012, etc., etc.

BTW, I sure would like to see a WOS / Gilmer rematch!

Got tickets to see him in Sugarland, January 2017. Love the guy.

Beg to differ, he was born in Gilmer. Probably my favorite artist of all time. I did say "come out of".

The shortcoming with Southeast Texas is that the area and area schools are shrinking. True, WOS keeps their winning ways but they have dropped classifications dramatically since they were a 5A in the early 2000s. Most of the schools in our area in the 5A classification are in the 1100 - 1500 kid range which won't get it under the present format of taking the two smaller schools to the D2 level for state playoffs. You still run into schools who have 1700+ kids who have 50 seniors and very few players if any going both ways. Losing enrollment every year without changing classifications = not very far in the playoffs. Same is true for the lower classifications. Most of the facilities for all the teams are less than standard compared to other areas. Unless new money, new jobs and new people move into the area such as what's happening with the BH and New Caney school districts it will continue to be this way.

Best thing to come out of Gilmer, Texas was Don Henley...jus sayin'.

Of course.

BTW, I work with a kid who was linebacker for the Calallen team y'all played in 2000. He was a junior at the time and is probably coming with me to the game Friday.

Again with the who beat who and by how much philosophy that doesn't work with high school football. Luv ya Goblin but let's keep it real. Navarro is playing WOS because they're good.
