  1. I'll take the field every day and twice on Sunday. Anything else is a stupid bet.
  2. I broadcasted that game between Jasper and Chapel Hill last year in the playoffs. I was impressed with the athletes that Chapel Hill has. Yes, they had a great runningback, but he wasn't the only player that hurt Jasper that night. I don't see another team in Chapel Hill's district stepping up to take their place in the playoffs. Chapel Hill will not be as good as last year, but I believe they will be just good enough to get in the playoffs. Probably a first round loss though.
  3. I agree. I think Chapel Hill does make the playoffs and Gilmer will go DII.
  4. I listened to that broadcast of that game and that's exactly what went down, according to Stelly. Hypolite had plenty of time and made accurate passes, but he can't catch it for them. I would rather have good speed and sure handed recievers than have great speed but stone handed ones. I think you'll see the Roberts kid be the better reciever over Franks and Haynes.
  5. It is my understanding that Hill, both '6"7 players Barnes and Thomas, and Bolton are not playing summer league. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
  6. How was Hooks not involved?
  7. At this point in the "season", everyone has the same chance. I am predicting that no team from our area reaches the state final game. I hope someone does, but I don't see it.
  8. WO-S grad Newton named Mustangs basketball coach Gabriel Pruett The Orange Leader Don Newton is coming home. Newton, a 1990 graduate of West Orange-Stark High School, has been named the next Mustangs boys’ head basketball coach. Newton had huge success as a high school basketball coach in North Carolina. Newton brings a 181-99 overall record to WO-S. “I’m as excited as I can be,” Newton said. “I am looking forward to getting back down there.” Newton said the transition to WO-S was perfect due to the fact he will be closer to his parents, Jim and Hallie Newton, who live in Orange and he will be taking in his son who will attend WO-S in the eighth grade. “It worked out perfectly,” Newton added. “I will be able to soley concentrate on basketball and that will make me a better father and coach. You know the athletes at West Orange are right around the corner. I am not sure what all we have coming back but I am not worried about that. I am going to come in and put in the time and the athletes will come. I want to put excitement into the Mustangs. The kids will play hard and it will be up-tempo and we will put up points. Now whether that leads to district titles, final fours or state championships, we will have to see. It has worked in the past so far.” There are eight different instances Newton was selected Coach of the Year for his efforts and his teams reached the Final Four twice, 2000 and 2003. Newton brought Chesnee High School in South Carolina to the state finals in 2000 with a 23-6 record while reaching the Final 8 in 1999, 2003 and 2003. Newton’s North Carolina Weddington High School team finished with a 21-7 mark. Newton also brings a wealth of experience as an atheletic director. In seven years as an AD, his teams won 38 conference titles. “I am very pleased to announce the new Head Basketball Coach for West Orange-Stark High School. Mr. Donald Newton, a WO-S High School graduate, will be returning home to take the reigns as coach of the Mustang basketball team,” WO-C Superintendent Dr. Taylor Collins said. Newton was most recently the athletic director and head boys basketball coach at Cuthbertson High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. “Don Newton had a stellar basketball career as a Mustang and as a college player,” Collins said. “He is one of the most accomplished coaches of high school basketball in the state of North Carolina where basketball reigns supreme. He will bring great excitement to local basketball. I am glad he is coming home.” WO-S athletic director Dan Hooks agreed. “Don Newton is a West Orange-Stark graduate. He played Basketball here and has family in Orange. He has an excellent coaching record and he will be an asset to our program,” Hooks said. Newton knows what it takes to work with Hooks after seeing Hooks coach while attending WO-S. “The level of importance Dr. Collins and Coach Hooks put on basketball is first class,” Newton said. “Working with Coach Hooks is working with a legend. He was a legend when I graduated in 1990. I am looking forward to working with him.” The WO-S position became available after Zach Quinn left to coach his alma mater, Vidor. The Mustangs were 22-12 a year ago and made a trip to the Class 3A Region III playoffs.
  9. I was just thinking the same thing.

  14. [Hidden Content] Both men and women win outdoor track and field national titles!!
  15. I feel like our team is just as good as last year's team and they did everything but beat WOS at their place. I still pick the Stangs to win district, but my Tigers owe them one after last year's loss. I will make my predictions on that game after week 3.
  16. Particularly since we will have our secret weapon there. One of the bigger news involves this person: [Hidden Content] For one special night in Tiger Stadium! WOS fans, be prepared. Wink
  17. Everybody agree with this DCTF prediction: 21-3A Offensive: QB Jeremy Johnson (Silsbee) Defensive: DE Steven Cook (WO-S) Key Game: Hardin-Jefferson @ Bridge City 1. WO-S 2. Silsbee 3. Bridge City 4. Hardin-Jeff 5. Orangefield 5. Hamshire-Fannett Maybe a 1a and 1b.
  18. As of today, our tournament is full. We will take standbys all the way to next Wednesday. It is normal for us to get a couple of cancellations next week, so there is a chance someone could play by being on the waiting list. You can still attend the tourney by purchasing a sponsor packet. For $85 you get two all week tournament badges, 5 meal tickets per badge, and beverages both non and alcoholic all day every day of the tourney. The meals included are a shrimp boil on Thursday evening, hamburgers and all the trimmings at lunch on Friday, catfish dinner on Friday evening, BBQ lunch on Saturday, and our famous and traditional Father's Day fried chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and green beans on Sunday at lunch. Plus we will have entertainment each night in the clubhouse. Special entertainment on Thursday night, dance with live local band on Friday night, bingo on Saturday night and then awards ceremony with a buffet on Sunday evening.(the buffet is at a nominal fee) Come join in the fun and watch some quality golf as our professional flight is one of the best we have ever had and is as good or better than any local tournament has ever offered.
  19. Got mine 2 days ago. It's nice to have friends.
  20. I don't see where anyone is hanging their hat on any game. The guy just posted about what game he saw, that's all.
  21. I agree with DV. That was two different sitiuations. Kobe is still in the series, Lebron's was over. I think you will see everyone shake hands at the end of this series, whoever wins it. Spinks, you're reaching a bit here.
