[quote name="Riding Solo" post="1394524" timestamp="1366055610"] Also I looked what the Orangefield kids did at the district meet back in 1980. If that same team would have competed in the 21 3A meet this year they would have scored 188 points and that is not counting the triple jump, 3200 meters and 4 x 200 meter relay. They did not have those events at that time.  They would have scored over 200 and WOS would have been a distant 2nd. Not bragging but it just shows there was more of an emphasis on track back then. Coach Peveto knew that track was the key atleast at that time and period. LOL!!!!!!!! I know, I know times have changed. OK, I am off my soap box. ;D ;D It did help that we had a 2 time state champ in the 800 meters. LOL!!!!!! (1:52.9) That is a pretty salty time. The golden triangle has not seen a time like that since 1980. Orangefield would have finished 1,2 and 3 in the 800 meters with the slowest time being a 2:01. [/quote] That's the tradition that I'm talking about!  How do you get it back?  I'm not smart enough to know that, but I do know that dropping the track program ISN'T GOING TO GET ANYTHING DONE!!  Which Coach Peveto are you referring to?  I ask because I was at Lamar as a freshman football walk-on and there was a hard nutt "Ed Peveto" there then.  Coming from west of Houston I thought the Guy was speaking a foreign language.  Apparently, all his kids at Orangefield understood what he was saying. 8)

In those years we had pretty good football teams also. That being said I know the district is different now but back then we competed with Jasper and Silsbee who were 4A and pretty much blew away 4A's like Port Neches, Nederland and Bridge City at the time. We also beat TJ and SFA in a trianglar meet held between the 3 schools. TJ was 5A, Todd Dodge was a Junior at the time. TJ had some athlete's at that time like Bruce Miller and many more. Orangefield is proud of their past pole vaulters and should be but that is the past. I want to be proud of the "Track Team".  Don't see that happening anytime soon. [/quote] Yep, with supporters like you the obvious answer is "Give up." SMH  ::) [/quote] LOL!!!!!! thats funny. Why is it when someone tells the truth on here then they are negative or not supportive? If they don't like what I say then do something about it. You can't tell me that Orangefield does not have any athletes, I know they do. They had one regional qualifier and that was a third place finish. You know nothing about me man. Back in those 80's it was manditory that you ran track if you played football. You may not have been on the track team but you did the workouts like everyone else. We also competed with each other to earn a spot on that Track Team and this was every week. You can shake your head all you want but until Orangefield addresses this problem I will continue to voice my opinion. ;) Also back then the parents backed the coaches and never questioned their decisions. [/quote] I feel your pain and understand completely Riding Solo.  Times have changed and not for the better. [/quote] Solo, from your post I gather you were one of the great Oragefield athletes of yonder-years and I didn't say anything about Orangefield not haveing any athletes.  I just question your loyalty when your suggestion for correction of the problem is just DROP THE PROGRAM.  As your back-up said, times have changed - I thought you had to have a first or second in district competition to advance to regionals.  When did third place start advancing? ???
