WOSgrad

I guess I was afraid I was not clear with my answer. By 3A/4A, I meant, the since 2004 when WO-S dropped to 3A what is now 4A. So the hint is misleading as it would indicate Jasper is the answer to the question when the correct answer is Silsbee in 2009. You are correct, though, that Jasper did hand them their first loss in 3A in their season opener in 2004. I think you are referring to WO-S' loss to Jasper in 1986 after WO-S had moved down to 4A (now 5A) from 5A (what is now 6A). That wasn't WO-S only district loss between '86 and '03. And that loss doesn't hurt so bad given the results of the state quarterfinal that year.

Since they moved down to 3A/4A, the Mustangs' district record is 75-1, a .987 winning percentage.

OK, I thought your referring to Stallworth when you mentioned that GCM wouldn't play home games there. Makes sense now.

I understand that. The part I didn't understand was the statement that "Shame we wont be playing our home games on it."

?

WO-S is 206-46-1 in district play since it opened in 1977. An .816 wining percentage.

I didn't get an invite, either. So I can't comment on that. LOL

Coldspring probably is the one, Diboll is close.

2019 FOOTBALL TEAM PREVIEWS HARDIN-JEFFERSON HAWKS 2018 Record: 2-8 Overall, 0-4 District 5th Place in District 10-4A-II Many in the western part of Hardin County were hoping that the return of Dwayne Dubois to the helm of the Hardin-Jefferson program would mean a return of happier times in Sour Lake. However, the adjustment to the slot T proved a little too much to handle as the Hawks went winless in 10-4A-II play. But 2019 brings hope that a year under their returning coach, as well as the return of eight starters on offense and nine starters on defense, will bring the Hawks back to the playoffs. Head Coach: Dwyane Dubois Assistant Coaches: Bradon Granger (Offensive Coordinator), Mark Humplik (Defensive Coordinator), Mike Fogo, Chad Guillory, Jeff Lee, Aaron Pollock, Josh Rutherford, Edd Trotter Offense: The old fashioned Slot-T offense that Dubois perfected as an assistant in Vidor will again be the set of choice at Hardin-Jefferson and he will have eight returning starters to run it.

Also seeing time in the backfield will be junior halfback Sage Roberts, senior tailback Arcadian Judge and sophomore tailback Brayden Martel. Junior split end Austin Samaha and senior tight end Michael McIntosh return to figure in the Hawk passing game. Look for senior split end Jacob Connelly to also see significant time out wide. Veteran's returning the Hawk offense line will include junior center Cody Caldwell, junior guard Hayden Burton and senior offensive tackle Bronson McClelland. They will be joined by senior tackle Jack Young and junior guard Ben Leon. Defense: Nine starters return to the Hardin-Jefferson 50 defense in 2019. Senior tackle Enrique Montes (2nd team all-district), and defensive ends McIntosh and senior Ryan McFarlin return to a defensive line which will also include Samaha, Leon and sophomore Gavin Vazquez. Seniors Dillon Bryant and Brock Nevils, as well as junior Dakota McNair return to line up at linebacker. Roberts will also be counted on at linebacker. Junior safeties Collin Pomirko (2nd team all-district) and Zac Hanson will anchor a Hawk secondary which will also feature Whitman and junior Sam Dickerson at cornerback. Senior Thomas Jones and sophomore Chris Roberts will also see time in the secondary. Special Teams: While special teams positions will be finalized a fall camp, returning senior Tyler Wooten will have first shot at the kicking job while Sage Roberts is the lead candidate for the punting job. Returners will also be finalized at camp.
