Wait a second!  First of all, I was being light-hearted with my comment, but was referring to your sarcastic "WEST ORANGE ENTERPRISE". (And I went back and looked and "V" made that comment, not you, so my post wasn't directed at you, Purple) I didn't know you were going to take my response so personally.  I understand where you are coming from, but I'd like for you to understand the news media in the area.  I feel sorry for the Orange Leader and KOGT. They are damned if they do and damned if they don't.  I heard someone in the stands last year complaining that KOGT wasn't covering a WOS game which very well could have been the game of the week.  However, at the beginning of the season when KOGT booked their spots, they could not have aniticipated that particular game would have been the game of the week.  They do the best they can with all of the schools in the area that expect coverage.  Same with the Orange Leader.  There are 5 schools in Orange County.  Add to that Deweyville (which also deserves coverage) and a bit of news from other "area" schools, and you have an extremely short-handed overworked couple of reporters from the Orange Leader.  I feel for those guys, too, because if one school gets a bigger picture on it than another school, the phone calls start.  I am as big a fan of WOS as anybody else, but I cannot stand for ANY fans (from any school) to persecute the press for lack of coverage.  And YOUR post, sir, was a cut at the Beaumont Enterprise aimed at their coverage of WOS.  If it were not, you would not have called it the West Orange Enterprise. 

I apologize to you for trying to be funny with MY post, but certainly did not expect a response like that from you.  You need to put yourself in the place of those reporters and pick up a pen if you think you can do a better job.

sorry about that i misread your post..i thought you were honestly complaining about the lack of WOS stuff in the BE.  The thing I am complaining about is that its almost like the BE tries NOT to report on any good news that is happening at WB. The only way WB can seem to make the front page is if something horrible happens there, or they lose to one of the other Beaumont schools.

I don't know what your BE looks like when it gets to your house, but I darned sure don't see an over-abundance of WOS in it!  As a matter of fact, I have to hunt with a magnifying glass for WOS info.

I know....maybe they have our subscriptions mixed up.  Maybe the paper with all the WOS stuff should have come to my house, and they printed all the WB stuff and put it in MY paper.

As for calling it the West Orange Enterprise....you've been drinking too much koolaid.

not sure what is wrong with you...but i was referring to the lack of BEAUMONT'S main school in the BEAUMONT paper...not the lack of WEST ORANGE stark in BEAUMONT'S paper???

and another thing.....how many times does lamar girls soccer need to be the sports headlines?  man, i could rant for days about the "daily rag"

title 9???      ;D

so the second part of my post got deleted mysteriously...it basically said

Am I wrong in letting this anger me?

AT LEAST from wb

Christian Michaels - RB

Blake Chavis - DE

David Falgout - DB

The West Brook Bruins go undefeated and win the championship in one of the toughest 5A districts in the state...and are not mentioned until page 6 in the Beaumont Enterprise

I think the spread..or any passing offense,  if successful,  helps even out the playing field.  you can have less pure talent, size etc...what i'm getting at is...you can run the spread with a handful of little guys(...eg: Texas Tech...)..where, if you tried to run it up the gut, you be p---- in the wind

EXACTLY! it helps even the playing field and gives less talented teams a chance

it will phase out once someone figures it out. It's like a new pitcher in the MLBs...he's great for a while, but before long people will figure out how to hit it and the next big pitcher will emerge

as far as the depth goes...it will come- just give it some time

before the 2005 season...playing football at WB was not the "cool" thing to do. I remember having 23 players on our JV squad just so we could have enough guys on varsity to fill up that second bus! Now that Brook is winning, more and more guys will want to come out and play.

Katy, for example...has had successful teams for the past 6 or 7 years now.  They now carry 95 or so on varsity, but back before they were considered a "decent program", I'm sure they had the same problems filling helmets that WB did.

Depth will come- just be patient and give Stump a few more years to work his magic...the Bruins are back

so...HOW DID joe c end up qb at WB?  starter at Kelly, coaching change, ends up at new school with old coach?    hmmmmmmmmm. 

it happens everywhere and its a shame

haha thats not recruiting! he went to wb because he liked the coach and the offense he runs!

he lives in the wb district AND saved a ton of money...therefore there is nothing fishy there

had he stayed at kelly...i seriously doubt he would be spending time in a huddle with darren mcfadden right now either

wuit hatin on a kid for making the all-around best choice he could

where was all this c- r- a -p last year or the year before..etc...go 4-0, everybody is a hater........Kelly High...busting the UIL teams  in the chops ;D ;D ;D ;D

when was the last time kelly played a UIL team that wasn't 2 or 3a?

overall player of the week...DAVID FALGOUT...WB

i would give stats...but i just dont know them...He pretty much never left the field though, acting as QB, Safety, and deep snapper, and you just dont see that much in 5A football

i know they cant compare to some of these guys...but I remember back when WB was horrible..they still had two of the hardest hitting linebackers I have ever seen.

Hunter Hamm and Albert Sells back in 02 and 03...those guys were fun to watch

i didnt see any games last week...BUT from what i have heard it should be a close one.

Im callin WB by a td, simply because i feel like a lot of their problems had to do with the weather. I also know that the O-Line now knows what it feels like to play on Friday nights, so hopefully they will calm down a bit.

WB-24

Central Medical Magnet School-17

maybe she knows her stuff???

may not be appropriate..but TITLE 9 TITLE 9 TITLE 9

and central is almost the same in 4a......

we have been through this on soooo many threads!!!  13th in 4a does NOT compare to 19th in 5a    get it into your heads!

it would help having the confidence that your kicking game is there when your 30 yards away on a 4th down play...i saw the kickers practicing the other day im proud to say we have a guy who can get it through the goal posts consistently

haha you mean you guys didnt like it in 2005 when WB always went for it on 4th and 35 backed up on their own side of the field?

AND my final post...

the beaumont bowl means absolutely nothing anymore. WB needs harder games to prepare them for their 5A season. No offense little guys..but i've been there and the worst defenses in our district made Mack Randall and winston Sylvester (ozen and central's studs a few year ago) seem slow and soft.

But thats besides the point. The Bmt Bowl used to mean something...but when WB started winning again with Stump...all we heard of around the locker room and town for that matter was "the Soul Bowl"...something about how WB dont count and how the real battle is between ozen and central. (maybe its because WB isnt a "magnet" school...i dont know). ANYWAYS BISD does need to let WV schedule some of their own games...because the beaumont games really serve no purpose except forcing wb to play at Cardinal Stadium and make BISD lots of money on concessions, etc.

I hope every team plays us 9 in the box.  We run a spread offense and people are going to play us 9 in the box?  All I will say is bombs away!

these 9 should stand up williams and michaels...but they better hope 10 and 11 get there fast enough to take them down 

haha just leave him alone lonestar...the title of the thread had something positive about aTm in it, so you know he couldn't resist

Well, just about everyone tested higher than Durant, to be honest. The consensus Player of the Year ranked 78th out of 80 prospects during testing that took into account running and standing vertical jumps, body fat and bench press. The wirey freshman small forward, who still figures to be the No.2 overall player taken in this month's NBA Draft, took his biggest hit after not being able to bench 185 once.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

thanks guys for taking care of that...I didnt have time to look up the exact numbers  ;D

rumor has it, aTm is having to build a new building on campus to house the HUGE number of Big XII Championship Trophies won this year.

and no dennis, Texas did not win it for aTm by beating nebraska

Jay Bruce is having a pretty solid season so far as well...

anyone who has ever played knows HIPS ARE ESSENTIAL. They are where all explosion comes from, and they help you stay low and gain all kinds of leverage.

we always did hurdle work, powerclean, snatch, and lows box squats for our hips...and i think the strength i gained from these exercises made all the difference

Ok, I've got one.  Move to another state.  95% of the high schools in Texas revolve around football.  That's the way it is.  The other sports are, and always will be, secondary.  It goes back to supply and demand.  The schools will supply want the community demands.  I've never seen a community stop down for a softball game.  I'm not just talking softball either.  It's the same for volleyball, baseball, track, basketball etc...  Football rules in the state of TEXAS. 

ty cobb if you realize that football is supreme...then why dont you change your name to johnny unitas and get on the football board?

until then...let the softball people talk softball and you go play in the nursery with you friends
