  1. Why does WOS almost REFUSE to throw the ball? They have athletes all over the field and they don't use them efficiently at all. They run the same play out of about 4 formations...Chaka Watson run... They need to let him roll out and have a pass/run option. Get the guy comfortable throwing. Quit throwing deep!! He doesn't have the touch for that! They are not going to run it down this teams throat.

    I definitely believe they could have scored all those points but  a weak preseason (which is not their fault, location has more to do with that) schedule aided that. A lot of teams have the pulling players at halftime argument. I just don't see them putting up big numbers moving up a classification.

    like the district they left a few years back? They hung 42 on Nederland...Nederland's worse loss of the season. That would have been that way all season long. Maybe a little tougher here and there but the same results just the same. And what is it about  moving up 1 classification?? I don't get the fascination...Teams move down and can't get it done ( PAM)...the truth is all people see is the classification in front of the school and say uh oh...other than depth (which isn't a problem this year...will someone give me a valid reason why WOS wouldn't be just fine in 5A...THIS year..???

    sorry...they won state...that's all that matters

    No I also saw the Kennedale game.  Offense is very good but like I said not elite. As for Carthage squeaking past Silsbee. Carthage folk all said the same, we could lose first round or win state. The team that played Silsbee, was always talented but not playing to their potential. I began to after that game. If i'm not mistaken I think Surratt sent them home on that monday in frustration. This is a young team that had to grow up fast. How can you call an area underwhelming who won a state title? How many well balanced teams dis WOS face?

    so leading a semi final team in kennedale 38-0 before they scored a single point isn't good enough? the defense alone would keep them in games.  the only elite offense i saw was lake travis and aledo.

    again you have to look at it from a different perspective. you don't have to beat ALL of 5A...you just have to make it out of your region. WOS would have done that this year.

    carthage had ALL season to play to their potential. they had a 4 pt win, a 2 pt. win. and a 1 pt. win in the playoffs...that WAS their potential. Silsbee was good... don't try to say carthage was head and shoulders better and carthage hadn't reached their potential 13 games into the season lol. However WOS was 50-2 "better"

    The only legitimate competition WO-S faced was in the state championship game. If WO-S had played in the local 5A district, I believe they would have won every game. They would not have pulled starters in some of them, but same results nonetheless. We saw glimpses of what would have been based on the game against Nederland and the scrimmages against Vidor and PNG. Concerning the loss to Richmond Foster...that wasn't just any 5A team. Foster lost to last year's state champion by only 7 points and they made it to the 5th round in this year's playoffs. They were one of the best in all of 5A for the last two seasons and would have whipped everyone in 22-5A. I'm not one to say WO-S could win 5A (or 6A, which is silly), but I do think they would at least make a strong run in the 5A playoffs and probably lose in the late rounds. The point being made about WO-S' depth would not be the reason - not THIS year. WO-S had 39 kids on the roster. Only one of them saw significant playing time on offense and defense. There were 3-4 others who played on one side and saw occasional spot duty on the other side of the ball. Depth on THIS year's team was a strength.  

    After watching the state championship games over the weekend, I can conclude with confidence there is no way WO-S could beat DeSoto and would get blown out by Lake Travis. They would make a competitive opponent for Highland Park and Temple. Probably lose to The Woodlands and Cibolo Steele. But, in the end, who cares. We are assigned to 4AD2 for good reason and all of this 5A conjecture is just fantasy football. A cool compliment was made by Rick Renner saying WO-S was "the best pound-for-pound high school football team in Texas." It's an honor to be thought of in that way. 

    I kept saying that THIS team..not last year, not next year...but THIS team, THIS year, can play with ANYONE in the state. People blow off calprep predictions but YES...it has us losing to Desoto...it has us losing to Lake Travis. However, it does not have them being blown out either. We can laugh at these websites, but there are a lot more metrics in that than a few of us online giving one opinion or another. It has them beating Highland park, Temple and Steele. Some people take it as a personal attack on their intellect on the game...but we're just having the conversation and the ONLY reason I hear is WOS doesn't have the depth. At no point in history has WOS EVER had exceptional depth...NEVER. You just can't get enough kids to go through that program and stick it out.

    When I got to college to play football I thought practice was a joke compared to what I had already been through. But other kids from those SAME schools mentioned above were huffin' and puffin'...and these were supposed to be studs..ON SCHOLARSHIP D1 FOOTBALL!! Those who haven't been through the WOS program don't understand one bit what it's like! if you have...then you understand just HOW special this team is because you know what those before them went through and still didn't get it done...and it's been since the 80's since they done it 3 straight years. This is a 5A team parading around like they are 4A. You don't hang 70 on an undefeated team in the semi's (21 called back) and then play the worst game you've played in 3 years and beat a 1-loss team 24-6 and the other team doesn't score an offensive TD...That game was never in doubt no matter what that score says. And from people are saying, "Sweetwater played the game of their lives!!" and still only had 148 total yards!! LOL

    Now that the hardware is in the trophy case, and the mission in 2016 is completed, let the debate begin.  Is this the best team WO-S has ever put on the field?  1986, 1987, 1988, 2000, 2016?  Perhaps I am forgetting a team worthy of consideration?  I love me some 1980s football with Kevin Smith and his teammates, but it is difficult, very difficult, to look past the 2016 WO-S Mustangs.  I have a slight lean towards the 2016 team.  Others?  Thoughts?  Let's discuss.

    Congratulations to WO-S.

    Go Indians.  Peace.

    1987 team was #3 in the nation I believe
