Keep up the votes, take down the Battle of the Ax

Don't sweat it, 96.  Certainly, you will get definite disagreement with your assessment of the game,  However, most of us have been on the board long enough to decipher the difference between assessments made out of love of community (you) and someone just looking to cut wrestling promos simply because they are the jealous north end of a south bound mule.

Hello there my friend....Its possible i may return playoff time...As of now its a No Go....

WOS is only giving up about 2 points a game on average and scoring around 53 a game. If all players come back and are healthy than this WOS team like many have stated is scary good. Miss all the reports from KJ dad, come back soon for your playoff scouts. 

I would love to see WOS and PNG play ever season, great game and good turnouts from both sides. 

I agree that the stakes involved definitely matter.  The first four games WOS and Jasper played BOTH were ranked in the top 10.
1986 #4 Jasper 21, #3 WOS 8
1986 #7 WOS 21, #6 Jasper 15
1987 #1 WOS 3, #3 Jasper 0
1988 #4 WOS 38, #9 Jasper 15
 
then when WOS dropped to 3A
first game right off the bat was 2004 #2 Jasper 25, #1 WOS 23
2005 #3 WOS 28, #8 Jasper 22
 
Can't really get any better than that even if the rivalry has cooled off the last couple years. We still had that epic 3rd Round playoff matchup with WOS winning 18-16 as recently as 2013.
 

I think jasper vs Silsbee is more of a rivalry than jas vs wos

When Jasper beat WOS in district their first season in 4A in 1986 21-8 then WOS beat Jasper 21-15 in the Quarterfinals that same year and went on to win their first State Championship.   That became a rivalry in two games.

Honestly I would say the WO-S game is PN-Gs second biggest rivalry. That is why I hate to not see WO-S on the schedule... People say, well you have to win to make it a rivalry. Well trust me, winning it every 15 years is worth it IMO. Playing the best, and beating them once in a kazillion years is a cool feeling...... 

the scoreboard has been a problem going on for too long, for such a great winning tradition of football, you would think by now it would be fixed somehow or be someone who has the money or knowledge.

Who is at the game?
 

MCM over 20,000 and counting, proud of all who are still voting. Hoping the Battle of the Ax goes down.

I also see Cuero will have to play Sinton, who is also ranked, that will be for district. Should be a great game.

I wonder if any of WOS's district games will be listed as a pick um for that week, just like KIPP was not listed. WOS will finish the regular season and go into the playoffs undefeated. 

i agree another shutout might happen 45-0, Coach T will pull starters by the end of the third quarter. 

From what I have been told, it is almost impossible to play good defense in six man football. It is mostly about outscoring the other team. I could be wrong though.

I was a head six man coach for a while. Playing defense is pretty tough if you don't have studs. One year down in Brenham, we had about twelve seniors and about twenty five rostered and won the TAPPS state championship by 45ing every team we played. Two years later we were down to nine boys and finished the year 1-9.  Teaching kids how to open field tackle is the most important thing you can do on defense (especially your cover guys).

It is not impossible to play good defense, but good tackling is vital.  With 5 less guys to help out, literally every tackle that is missed could result in a touchdown or a very long gain.

So he spoke his peace.... no reason to hold a grudge..... lol

I agree with you, WOS you play the entire game like the 1st quarter. Just because you are winning big you still need to play with that same level of fire and heart. WOS will be fine and Coach T will remind them that you play 4 quarters until the game clock hits 0.00. Great win against a tough team.

Some folks are almost taking this as a loss because Kennedale scored some points.  Hey folks, WO-S won!  Was it perfect? No.  Are there some things that need to be worked on?  Of course and that is exactly why folks like Kennedale appear on the schedule.  To provide a pressure test to show what still needs improvement on the team.  I always felt that probably the most important game (aside of course, from the playoff wins) in getting WO-S the state championship last season was when Foster came in and beat them pillar to post.  It showed the guys that they are mortal and allowed the coaching staff to show them where they needed to get better.  I think last night's game has the same effect (or at least I hope it does) and WO-S was still able to take a win with the lesson this year.  Believe me, Coach Thompson and the 'Stangs are going to plug any holes that were breached last night.
Finally, I am glad that Kennedale scored and scored multiple times.  Not only for the reasons above but also from my perspective, this "scoreless streak" was once a chimpanzee that was quickly becoming an orangutan and was going to soon crush these young men under its pressure.

Up by over 8,000 for MCM, go figure, this will keep going back and forth. DQ just needs to send 2 teams to both games and cover both. It would be a shame with this many votes on both sides to not cover both games. 

I would have to do more research on the teams but if Carthage couldn't slow them down I don't know who can in their region.I know they want face the likes of a WO-S defense and that's what it looks like it will take.The only thing that I can see is for someone to be able to score with Gilmer and get a few timely stops.Maybe a region 2 guru can give some insight.
