Since this is a football related topic I thought it appropriate to put it under this thread. I'm really tired of cancelling games, moving games to another stadium or even worse, playing games like the one we had against Barbers Hill two years in that cattle pen we call a football field. Last night was the perfect example of why we need a new BONEYARD! At the very least, we should have had turf five years ago. I'm hearing that a new high school is in the works at the site of the old Junior High; FEMA is footing most of the bill since those buildings went completely underwater. We should pass a bond to put a new football stadium right next to it on the interstate for everyone to see. Great communities center around their school system and Jeff Mathews has put our football team into the elite category of the area. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone driving through our community to see that? Wouldn't it be great for our kids and the winning attitude they now have. Every year they compete and we need to show we back them. Let's get this done, VIDOR!

We're tuning up the band to put on a good halftime show for you....

Would love to have a turf field but they have not even started to work on our middle school and one of our elementary schools that flooded in Hurricane Harvey. Those students are currently in portable buildings. Not to mention the rest of our schools are 35 to 60 years old. I would rather see new schools built.

I can remember when we played six - eight homecomings a year. We don't get scheduled for homecomings other than our own anymore. Huuummmm.

The real hero is our defense. They are playing really good football right now. Adonte Woodard is a BEAST at tackle for the Pirates.

Vidor rushed for 505 yards. 232 of those were from Dahlenberg, 152 came from Nunez.
Defensively, Vidor allowed 209 yards (163 rushing, 46 passing)

The LEAGUE VILLAINS get it done. Shout out to the defense who really played hard; they were the heroes tonight. Montgomery really couldn't do much with the ball until late in the first half. Of course, 409 Sports won't mention anything about us. Under the radar where we want to be.

Jus' keeping the thread alive since it will get lost in all the mid county fake news that our little team is pretty good. Go League Villain Pirates! Crush Bye this week!

This will never be the answer. Teaching like coaching should be performance based but teacher unions dictate their wages and benefits. Head football coaches are usually the ADs and considered administration. Assistant coaches (who also teach) wages are more in line with teacher pay. So, teachers can make more money if they do more than teach; i.e. coach, teach music, tutor, drive buses, etc., etc. It's just like any other JOB in the USA. My daughter has raised her salary by doing these things, continuing her education and moving up in the food chain. That's how it works.

Always praying for Mr. Todd Broussard, my friend.

It's never easy to take a loss this far into the season, but when it's obvious the opposing team outplayed you, the inevitable reaction is to tip your hat and acknowledge the better team won. 
You could take the time to dissect this game and look at ways that WO-S could have made the game closer or even won it. It was a winnable game, but ONLY if we would have played mistake-free football. For example - 1) overthrown passes in the first half (at least one would have been a TD); 2) play calling to include WR screens and more runs to the strong side and less between the tackles; 3) stopping PG from converting so many third downs; 4) penalties that cost WO-S a TD, a big 4th down conversion (fake punt), and long yardage situations; 5) blown coverage on PG's first play from scrimmage; 6) three turnovers (two pick 6's late)...those are some that I noticed. But, in the end PG earned the victory because they EXECUTED their offense and defense better than WO-S did. 
This year's version of WO-S football had a smaller margin for error, especially on the offensive side of the ball. We were able to make it this far despite that, but yesterday we ran into a team who was good enough to make us pay for it. It's also worth noting that PG had zero turnovers. I am a WO-S Mustang for life, but today was Pleasant Grove's day. Congratulations to the Hawks on earning your first state championship. 

Congratulations to the WOS Mustangs on a great year and a great run. I would love for my football team to make just one state championship...you've been to four in a row. Unfortunately, I think the Mustangs just ran into a better team tonight. Pleasant Grove impressed me with how hard they played on both sides of the ball. Great game!!!

That #21 for Pleasant Grove was just an out and out stone age beast!!! He made some big time plays on both sides of the ball. Pleasure watching that young man play.

I would like to say from a person that truly admires High School dynasties.......WOS is the true definition of that. That is a program to be proud of and I know you are. You lost in the title game, but those kids never quit. NEVER. Even when all odds were against them they never quit. That's something that all WOS fans should be proud of. Congratulations guys on a GREAT RUN. Y'all have lots of talent and I don't think we are even close to seeing the end of this. 
 
On another note XXman you should find another hobby. Football makes you miserable and you should find something that makes life a little more enjoyable. You bitched and whined and moaned about everything those coaches and kids did. It's easy to be a fan when all is good. Those kids deserve better than that. 

I really can't understand the criticism.  I can understand the frustration at losing.  But it had nothing to do with the coaching.  It has everything with the fact that Pleasant Grove was better.  They executed better and made less mistakes than the Mustangs.  That formula usually equals a win and it did again today.

4 straight title appearances is pretty damn good.
