yup ;D

the extra points are no doubt an issue, but they're an issue for a lot of teams in the lower classifications. as for the playcalling, WOS was able to make it this far just fine. a couple of fumbles didn't help matters, and playing a very good defense obviously was a huge factor in WOS's second half struggles. I'm sure with the quality of talent and coaching that the stangs have, they'll be back next year with a chance to advance even farther. the FEW of you who are being critical need to remember that you win as a team, and lose as a team. there are several different ways that the stangs could've won this game. a score in the second half, a made extra point, a defensive stop, a special teams play; if any of these things had happened, WOS very well might have won. The task at hand now is for the coaching staff to find ways to improve these areas, and as good as ya'll are, they probably won't have to work very hard to do it.

i'm ok with this move. matsui will do fairly well in this park, with it's short fences. since colorado started putting it's balls in humidifiers, the balls don't fly out their like they used to, so his numbers aren't really that skewed from playing there. his game is reasonably similar to biggio's... a little less pop, but a little better speed and defense. i think this is a fairly good move for the stros. now they just need some pitching.

as one lumberton fan put it, "no crow for me... three rounds deep, and i'm eating steak tonight". who can blame the fans for feeling like they couldn't be beat. the excitement was incredible in lumberton, and they had just won two games in the playoffs after never even making the post season before. if i thought they should be eating crow, this would almost be funny. as it is, the people who should be eating crow are the ones who said lumberton wouldn't win 3 games in district, wouldn't make the playoffs, or wouldn't win if they got there. i noticed that there wasn't any actual crow in your recipe. is this because the early-season raider critics (including myself) have been eating it all year, causing a huge crow shortage at local grocery stores?

This was a tough loss for ya'll last night, and i've heard no excuses; just congrats and praise for waller, and acceptance of the fact that ya'll ran into a better team. It's been a pleasure watching your excitement the last few weeks as your team made history, and it's just as nice to see you handle defeat with class. every post i've read this morning is congratulatory to your boys as well as waller, which is the way it should be. congrats on your great season. i don't know if lumberton could've made it this far without such a great group of fans who would drive any distance to make sure that the stands were full for their boys.

the best thing about this board is the interest that in generates in all of our teams. before this year, i never would've taken the time to find anything out about most of the teams around here. by the end of the season, instead of being a fan of my alma mater, i was a fan of southeast texas football. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time on here. thanks to all of the administrators and moderators for your work on here, and thanks to all of the fans for getting involved, and for the most part keeping things respectful and fun.

absolutely! you guys have nothing to be ashamed of! three rounds deep is fantastic, especially for your first trip to the playoffs. best of luck to ya'll next year, and remember to hold your heads up... there were a lot of great teams (including la marque) that didn't even get the chance to suit up tonight.

everything good here... don't worry, it's not your fault, my parents went to the game, the first one they've been to all year. you didn't jinx them, it was my own flesh and blood

oh well, great season guys!

It's been a great year for SETX football, but Dayton is the only team left standing. Congrats to all of our playoff teams, and good luck next week to Dayton. Bring us home a state championship!

quit with the crap. they just had their best season ever, and had some impressive wins.

i hate this... they could've won this one. great year, stangs.

glad to see them pull one back...

i think it's more like there's not enough server tonight

dayton broncos the last man standing. i hate to see us all drop tonight. bring it on home, broncos

it's better that they scored... they should've knelt and run the clock out.

can't be much time left, right?

time for the running clock

42-7

dang it

did tatum have two second half safeties?

poop

my thoughts exactly. can't blame em for getting excited about going three rounds deep in a year where many projected them to finish in the bottom half of district.

haha, right. i'm sure the dayton fans will be crying purple tears all the way home because they didn't break 50

they might just be playing the best ball in the state right now
