WOS is good, but they're not the old WOS. We'll see how LCM rises to the occasion. Hopefully those young kids coming up for LCM understand the bitterness of the rivalry, I feel like they're too young to know. [/quote] If the high school football players (or junior high for that matter) don't understand the bitterness of the rivalry, it makes me wonder if it is a rivalry. [/quote] You'd think being on the wrong end of a 23-3 series record where the average score has been roughly 29-8, you'd think they'd understand the bitterness.

Another one that was hard to bring down (even though he was known more for his success on the other side of the ball in college and the pros) was Jerry Ball at West Brook. He looked like a bowling ball when he was running and unfortunately a lot of would-be tacklers looked like bowling pins getting hit.

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1240770" timestamp="1343686434"] [quote author=wbfan link=topic=101325.msg1240640#msg1240640 date=1343652360] Christine Michael. Tackling him is like trying to knock over a truck.  ;D [/quote]More like trying to drag down a moose.  ;D [/quote] The moose drug a lot of folks all over the field.

[quote name="Lightning/Eagle" post="1240763" timestamp="1343684977"] Well I'm thinking if Groveton can be considered then so can Humble. Mike Mosely, even though he played the quarterback position he ran the ball more than running backs most games. That guy could flat out play. [/quote] Actually, I have agreed to experiment with the 4A Humble schools (Humble, Summer Creek and Kingwood Park) under the umbrella.  La Porte was also added to the roster.

[quote name="ECBucFan" post="1240746" timestamp="1343681812"] As far as this site and discussion is concerned, yes. Now before you scoff, realize that Iola and Anderson Shiro are definitely in the College Station area. Look it up for yourself. Aledo? It depends. Carthage, Center, and Grapeland are now included, perhaps Aledo in the near future. Personally, I define SETX as south of 190 from Jasper to Livingston, and east of 59 and 146. [/quote] Actually, none of the teams mentioned (with the exception of Center) are considered "SETX" teams.  Only two of them, Carthage and Center, have or will have a preview posted on them.  When I came aboard a few years ago, I felt that followers of schools in SETX should not only be able to follow just those schools who also happen to be in SETX, but should be able to have some exposure to teams in their district who happen to fall outside of that umbrella.  So that is why I started posting the schedules, results and position in standings of every team that was in a district with an SETX team.  In fact, last year, I did post a preview of every team that was in a district with an SETX team to give the fans even more information about schools that their favorite teams were facing.  This year, I scaled that back and only did that for the local districts in 5A-3A.  Why?  1) Because the response I got to the questionnaires from coaches of schools outside of SETX 2A and below was lousy and 2) the views on those particular previews were even lousier.  And I will review the process, as I do every year, to determine whether I will even continue that process in the 5A-3A ranks. But that aside, I will continue to gather and post the schedules for schools that are not under the SETX umbrella who happen to be in districts with teams that do fall under that umbrella for reasons stated above.I do it that way for no other reason than to ensure that the members of SETXsports.com have as much information surrounding their school as I can possibly give to them.  But that should not be interpreted as an expansion of the borders of SETXsports as they will not appear in any of the composite weekly football schedules unless 1) they are playing an SETX team or 2) they are playing a district game.  Further, they will not be eligible for any of the rankings done by the SETXsports.com staff. Make no mistake, I don't see the umbrella expanding anytime soon as I have previously stated that I have no desire to expand the borders into the Houston or East Texas areas anymore than we have already....we have tried and have not achieved near the level of success that we have here in Southeast Texas.  The school that are under the umbrella now, with very few exceptions, have been considered SETX for some time now, and right now the staff is pretty happy as to its current configuation.

Thanks to Vidor ISD Athletic Secretary Lori Mathews for providing the 2012 Lady Pirates schedule.

[quote name="pinelandflash" post="1240619" timestamp="1343623971"] Any truth to the rumor that they're moving him from QB to RB? Just a rumor I heard where I work. If true, who would be QB? Just curious........ [/quote] According to the info that Coach Stanley gave me, Twine will remain at quarterback.
