CardinalBacker you are a real peace of work! The fact that this KID is a product of SETX and you are I am assuming an ADULT person who is old enough to have a career, maybe some college education, or a good job to support your family. Can sit behind a keyboard and say BOO in regards to a young man who has a COLLEGE DEGREE, was a member of 2 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS, and not too mention earned ALL AMERICAN  accolades on multiple occasions in his second sport of track and field all while being a student at a MAJOR University. Your opinion may not represent all but it does say alot about our communinty of SETX and how some treat our OWN. GOOD LUCK AT THE COMBINE TONY!! OZEN AND BEAUMONT ARE ROOTING FOR YA!!!

LCM with foul to give uses it with .1 seconds left.  Perfectly executed and Diboll has to try and alley oop.  Bears win 43-42.

Buna vs Hitchcock 6:30 Monday @ East Chambers

Buna vs Hitchcock 6:30 Monday @ East Chambers

Don't expect this game to happen but if it did, Silsbee would be favored by much more than 5.

The best QB talent wise is and will most likely always be Hunter Gonzalez. He was special. His size rendered him from playing the position collegiately but he was a hell of a football player. He wouldn’t show up on a list like this however because he wasn’t a top notch prospect.

Hello everyone,

My name is Terrell Brittain and I am deaf. I want to tell you how I feel and need express my feeling as well. I suppose to graduate with class of 1998. I went to West Orange Stark in 1994-1996 and played football and baseball. You don't have to read this if you don't like to read long message! Haha

You might wonder why my user is WOS1986. Let me explain why. When I was little boy and went first state championship WOS vs. McKinney in 1986 that how I remembered. After that, my dad keep take me to watch WOS every Fridays and I told him that my dream is to play Mustang with silver and blue helmet on me.

I went to Texas School for the Deaf in Austin, TX. I realized that there is Deaf world and impact my life that who I am and reason why I have been success with my career. I am professor at University of Houston to teach American Sign Language for Interpreting program. I am proud what I done and pride deaf myself. I marry to deaf wife and had precious 2 kids who are hearing but they know the sign language that can communicate with us which is amazing. I am happy man and enjoy to continue great journey with many more years later. My wife really love to attend WOS game even she never attend WOS and really enjoy to watch football games. 

Sometime, I feel regret that I left without say goodbye or let them know to my friends, players, teachers, and coaches. I played nose guard in defense. In 1994 freshman year, first practice at football was so amazing and coaches allow me to play since most people think deaf can’t play anything which is not true and I prove coaches that I can play. I ended up play junior varsity team after only 2 or 3 games for freshman team because I play so hard and like animal tackle quick. In 1995 sophomore year, practice on the field somehow coach T call my name to play with varsity group then I suddenly shock and not play well myself that is not who I am then coach put me back to junior varsity team again because I was not ready. When I arrived home and I was so mad and upset myself because I was so close to varsity team. Coach call my name to be part of this team for playoff and I was so thrilled about that and I never forget that game which is against LaMarque  in 1995 and lost 7-18. I was so hurt bad and pissed off after that game because I see Sias, Lock, Feathers, and Bernard that they were hurt and want win so badly. One day, Lock and Bernard came to me and chat that we will win state champion in 1997 with our classmate so I agreed with them and make me so fire up and goal. However, I ended up went to Austin school.

I never forget that game in 1997. My team (Austin school) got out of the playoff before Thanksgiving so that Thanksgiving week I went to home and asked my brother to take me to watch WOS vs. LaMarque in the playoff. When I arrived and saw my boys during warm up and was hurt myself because I suppose to play with them. When LaMarque open drive and ran the wide open hole middle on WOS defense. I was so pissed off and sick about that and wish that I played that. Maybe or maybe not, if I played and it could be a little different game because I will big fire up and animal as monster to hit hard LaMarque.

I will always bleed in silver and blue no matter what! Even I live in northeast of Houston and still attend watch WOS in Orange that take me 1 and half hours to drive but worth and show my loyal to them. When I can't go then I always look this website to see follow up the score. I really enjoy to see my old friends.

Please do not critique my grammar English cause English is my second language while ASL (American Sign Language) is my first language. That is reason why I don’t post much after I saw sometime people post and insult their language or poor in English. Everyone treat same equal and its human.

I want thank WOSgrad and kicker that encourage me to post and express my feeling and tell who I am so now everyone know who I am.

Sorry for LONG message that you had to read. It is worth for me to tell my feeling now I feel better. Please share with anyone who doesn’t have this account.

Go Mustangs!!!

LCM 63, BC 45.  Bears led by Cole Frost with 6 assists, Katon Brown with 17 pts and 14 rebs, and Braden Bridges with 12.  Caleb Honeycutt led the Cardinals with 13.  LCM moves to 19-11 (5-1) and will host Orangefield Friday for Senior Night before ending the season on a three game road trip.

Last two sentences is the absolute truth. My senior year I averaged 33 ppg, although at a private school in Community Christian, and had a few scholarship offers due to my AAU coach and high school coach having some connections. Every level of basketball I ever played at I was a great scorer but I signed a financial aid agreement and played for Arlington Baptist College. I quickly learned that the way I played and my attitude towards wanting to play defense would never translate to the college level. So i hung it up after one year. I would advise all student athletes that want to play understand that defense will get you playing time at every level regardless of how well you play offense. 

As i stated to Mr.Shapiro kids or parents cannot get in their feelings. 15 Man roster for varsity that’s it , 12-15 for both JV A/B,same for freshman. The true question is how many of the those kids are varsity level players especially if you a junior on jv aometimes the writing is on the wall not for all but for some it is. The truth is unless kids are putting in the work during the summer they will get left behind period point blank. I hear ppl talking about scholarships how many guys have earned a scholarship from all 3 Bmt schools in the last 5 yrs. if you do a breakdown it seems like a lot but you can be fooled by so called talent. Last year only 3 kids from any of the Bmt schools went on to play college ball. Here is a very harsh reality about HS . No matter how many points certain players score, it may not ever translate in to playing  Juco,NAIA,D1,D2 or D3.  Ppl may not like it, but it’s the absolute truth.

I went down the list of every team in the coverage are and wrote down a player or players from each team that could possibly be on the list and with that here is my list.

5. Deion Rhea
4. Jakobe Dill- Central

Not sure if we’re talking about Guys coming out next year or future kids but 
Bryce Anderson from Vincent/Cathedral is a kid to watch, he’s an 8th grader and just played in the US under 15 game in Dallas, as well as been invited to National combines..Not sure what HS he’s going to, (I’m hearing WB) but where ever he goes they’re getting a player and a future star

I don't think you are giving them near enough credit for the quality of athletes in these two schools.
Success will not be determined by the amount of talent, the talent will be there.
Success will be determined by how the talent is managed. Blending these two proud athletic programs into one will be a challenge.

Have mercy 

to graduate 19 starters and return to the "show" -- AMAZING - GREAT JOB

 
Isn't that what they said last week when we played Wimberley?  Salado? Madisonville? Mexia?  Remember when they were gonna shock the world? It is the same as last year and....well... the year before.
This team has seen the spread, the Wing T, the Slot T and just about every other variation in between.  They have faced defensive juggernauts, special teams juggernauts, offensive juggernauts (are at least so we were told) and every other juggernaut in between.  40 straight times they said it. 40 straight times they went away saying "What did we do wrong?"
And with the 2017 version, they don't have the explosiveness of the last couple of years, the Chain Gang can be bent a little, but this team may be more mentally tough than the first two versions.  They can, as we have seen, take a punch to the mouth, get back up and punch back.
Who knows, they may get the fatal blow to this streak next Friday, but me, I steeled myself to that possibility for the last 2 1/2 years.
But somehow, I don't think that will happen then, either.
 

I am very proud of this team.  I am sure the players have heard plenty of comparisons to last years team and have had that shadow looming over them.  However, just like last years team, this team is undefeated going into the title game.  IF they win they will be undefeated just like last years team, and that state champion ring will look just as shiny as the one from 2016.  As a fan I am thrilled but I couldn’t be happier for this team.

I do cringe when I see what seems to be a default 40 point win prediction every time the Mustangs take the field.  Last year is last year and it seems like those that make those predictions are expecting Jack Dallas, KJ Miller, Mo Joseph, Jeremiah Shaw, T Brown and others from last year's team to pop out of the Mustang inflatable.  They won't...they've graduated and are on to the next phase of their lives (which all of them seem to be doing real well in).  Cornel Thompson realizes that, Eddie Dyer realizes that, Mike Pierce realizes that.   It might be time for some of us to realize that.  Last year's team and their accomplishments will go down in the annals of Texas High School Football History.  It probably won't happen again in our lifetime, it might not happen ever again.
So when I see Eddie criticized for not doing things on offense that the Mustangs did last year, I find that patently unfair to him.  Jack Dallas and Chaka Watson are two different young men.  There are parts of the offensive playbook that he opens up for Chaka to execute that he would have never dreamed of asking Jack to do.  By the same token, there are parts of the play book that he would open up to Jack that he would never ask Chaka to do.  Why?  Not because one is any less of an quality quarterback than the other, but because they possess different skill sets which lend themselves to different parts of the Mustang playbook.
Would I like to see some of the same things as last year? Of course.  But the current personnel package needs to have plays called that fit in their skill sets, not the skill sets of Jack or KJ or Keion or Jeremiah.  And last Friday painted the Mustang's offense further into a corner.  I don't know of any team that would be able to lose the services of their starting quarterback and expect the offense to run smoothly.  It doesn't happen in the NFL, it doesn't happen in the NCAA and no, it doesn't happen in West Orange, Texas.  Tyrone Wilson will do great things when it is his turn, but to expect him to at this point to do the same things as Chaka is just as unfair as expecting Chaka to be a carbon copy of Jack.  And to expect Eddie Dyer to call the same plays for those 3 different young men is the height of stupidity.
The end result is that the Mustangs won, just as they have done for every week that they have played since the middle of 2015 for 37 straight games and 14 straight playoff games.
Now that is not to say that I don't believe the 2017 Mustangs are a top notch ball team.  They are on a path to play for a 3rd straight state championship.  All I am saying is that there is no need to blow a gasket and demand wholesale changes in a great coaching staff because they aren't beating teams by 30-40 points!

So how was Orange supposed to be represented in this story? From what I'm reading in this thread, seems like it should sunshine and rainbows talking about it. The writer's not incorrect when he says that most white students are sent to LC-M or Orangefield (why they don't go to WO-S, I'll leave for others). Bridge City had a racist incident just last year. And Vidor, fair or not, has it's past reputation preceding them.
That's before even bringing up the Confederate monument issue on MARTIN LUTHER KING DRIVE.
I'm not sure what you want the writer to do, short of not writing the story. It's not a public relations story. It may not be the whole city but that doesn't make it an inaccurate story.

It wasn't the most nuanced article but its not far off the mark.  But then again you could take Beaumont and Port Arthur and say similar things, except the racist comments come from those that live just outside  the city limits.
Just because you don't like the messenger doesn't mean he wrong.
You can find evidence that the article bears truth by reading some of the comments on this site. Take the Central Ozen thread regarding the possible merger of the schools. I can tell who's white and who's black just by the comments.
No one says such vile things about PNG Nederland Lumberton, etc. Yet its open season. On Ozen central and memorial.
The only reason why WOS gets a pass because none of the usual suspects can beat them.
That's a sad state of affairs.
If I never left the area I'd probably be more defensive about it. But the years away have opened my eyes a bit.
Still love home, I'll always claim it but I'll never move back.
