The wind was HORRIBLE that night. Neither team had their best showing due to the wind.

Oh yeah big time. They lost to El Campo the following week. I think that team was 5-5 that season.

That team wasn't as strong as some of the others. Surprised we even made it to the semis that year. We had either 7 or 9 starters out that game including Ingram. With that being said, they would have most likely one if we had everyone. That Lavega team was sick and VERY underrated. As for this game I think it'll be closer than most think. I look for a 21-7 score until late second qtr and Carthage lays it on. A friend pointed a few things out to me. That offense gives us fits if ran correctly, don't know how many players are attending the Volleyball game in Garland, the distance and the rain.

The younger brother Dixon was hurt that season. It was Ingram.

Thanks for the life story but that's not what I was referring to. Nothing you stated justified our comments about the coaches and using the word "negligence". This is not about where you come from but what these coaches have to deal with. Also, football isn't as big in inner city schools these days either.

Why?

SMH. easy to say from where you're sitting.

The ignorance of these posts are astounding to me. Especially the guy who said these coaches should be ashamed to take a paycheck when these coaches deal with so much more than your coaches. As for the community support, it takes money to travel and most of these parents don't work a 9-5. If Coach Surratt of Carthage coached in this environment I don't think he would excel. It's a different battle and headache altogether that only a few can deal with.

I remember the fans ripping the coaches during the preseason which didn't make sense to me. I think their was something about he needed to decide on a QB and I was like isn't that what preseason is for.

Do you WOS fans remember what I told you guys during the first couple of weeks in the season? I'm not shocked at all yall made it this far. Best of Luck.

Saw a poster on smoaky picking HH to win by 6. Stated that they have quite a few starters returning this week. Is there any validity to this?

I wouldn't call them a disgrace to the sport. You try to put yourself in the best position to go a far as you can in playoffs. Kids will always play hard but I have no issues with playing the 2's in a game that affects seeding. Work smarter not harder. Especially if the outcome doesn't hurt you AT ALL, let the benchwarmers play.

I'll put it this way. Both those schools would beat the crap out of Carthage. Even if we had the team from last year. The same would happen to Newton.

Question should read how far do you think Newton could go in 4A DII. That's a more fun argument to me.

I meant Arlington.

This thread is very interesting. The talk about coaching and the qb is crazy. Teams get better as the year progresses. Heck in 2016 Carthage wasn't very good until something clicked after we eeked by Silsbee. 16-0 isn't the only way you can win state. I'm from Carthage and I seem have more confidence than some of you WO-S fans. Yall lost to a phenomenal team. Learn from it and try to get back to AT&T. Funny how some of you had full confidence in the staff during the winning streak but not enough confidence that they can coach a team not as talented back to Austin.

Just seems like everyone is overreacting the purpose of a scrimmage is to find your weaknesses.

This is hilarious. It's just a scrimmage. God forbid they lose a preseason game. Out of all Carthage's state title teams only two were undefeated and a couple of the teams looked really bad in scrimmages and preseason. WOS will be fine. If they played week 10 they'd probably bust the scoreboard on them. Your coaches get paid to coach and make adjustments. All of you who are freaking out shows a lack of confidence in the coaches (assuming it's WOS fans freaking out)

I agree for the most part with the exception of district titles. I couldn't care less about those either.

The video was seen in the Fall of 2016. Carthage has been covering up crap like this for years. At the time it wasn't about football, it was protecting the district.

There is definitely more to life than football but I'm just talking facts. People keep talking about football cover up and the kids wasn't even a varsity Qb. Like I said before, all parties need to be punished.

None I know of at the moment. i have a feeling Caps will not be our QB next year. That's just a personal opinion.

Heard some debate team members viewed it too, let's get rid of that also. Coach needs to be locked up and parents need to punished by the law.
