West Brook scores 2 in the bottom of 7 to win 3-2.  Thompson with the walk off single.  

Something needs to happen because thread is going nowhere fast.  Let me just say one thing.  If you bring in the right AD/Coach the athletes will follow.  Then the fans. 

You were “competitive” this year.

I guess coming in as a new OC in JUNE and installing a whole new offense for AUGUST leads to the OC being a below average hire. Then lose 4-5 starters. That makes sense.  
 
 

For reasons previously listed. 

I think there’s some animosity between the 2 coaches.   Peevey said, “The rivalry needs a break for a while”…. Something to that effect.
 
He knows he will out last Hickman and he will put WOS back on the schedule in 2 years.

Great post

Great move for Bears, why play a school like mentioned before 2 yrs ago refused to switch home and away when supposedly your cross town friends field wasn’t finished. Also had fans outside the gate this year  till end of second quarter while every WOS fan was in bleachers. Also LCM  signed off on kid to go back to WOS  and play this year and in return WOS refused to sign off on kid who wanted to play at LCM.  The truth is that WOS refused because they’re scared of a mass exodus from a fallen program. I’m sure with other teams graduating a bunch this year means things might seem to get better next year but true fans know it will not ever be the WOS of old. 40 years tradition gone. 

Very true 

Bingo

This might not have happened if Hickman would have been more cordial; refused to sign off on students and refusing to swap home games shot himself in the foot. He should have put some effort into a local relationship. 

Bellville will win this one handily. Silsbee has not played anybody. If Bellville played Silsbee's schedule they would be...., well, never mind. 

Relax...relax. I know it's not a real issue. I never said you said it was. I'm wondering if it's even a potential issue...

What about the Districts? Some schools are 100+ miles away from every school that would be in the District. Playoffs are a small part 

That's silly. Is this even a real issue? Have there been major conflicts and complaints in the state?
Note to self: If you want to blow something up that no one even cares about, start a thread and get some traction.

I'm glad I didn't have time to watch what took place.when u bring in outsiders that wasn't gud in the sport that went got a degree to coach doesn't mean u know how to coach.too busy trying to teach a scheme instead of showing them basic things.when a team runs a wing T. HOPEFULLY Someone on the school board does the right thing.kids deserve better

Reading this thread I'm just: 👀🥤🍿

This may take a minute but here is another view...
Most of this thread is centered around the Mustang Community. Lets include both for a minute.
Football by nature is decided by the fear of losing and how it is overcome thru talent and execution.  Discipline is a HUGE part of execution in football.
The mood of this game was so obvious before the first play of the game, which I could be wrong, there were so many, had offsetting personal fouls called due to the competitive nature of these squads.
Im a Silsbee fan, so I am biased to a degree, but even I recognize the importance of what is happening.  In the past, the teams that play WOS regularly were mentally beaten, in most cases before even stepping on the field.  That is a reputation and mystique that is well earned and has been displayed for decades.  That mystique is under attack and it has created a fear that is hard to accept. 
For this game:  From my view it was undisciplined for both squads at times, which was displayed by both teams throughout the game but I dont think it was a dirty game by any means.  Both teams were super aggressive from the first kick and I think the attempt to control the game through personal fouls affected every referee on that field, and they missed a ton of the penalties in the interior line that was showing the real battle between the teams.  Not the "swagger", "look at me" attitudes I was seeing.
WOS is a good team that is having to adapt, it may take some time to "right the ship" or it could go the way of LaMarque.
Can you even imagine if/when Carthage has to go thru the same thing? It will be a mood I can assure you. 
Do not let that happen as our area, region and state would not be the same.
Silsbee is a very good team right now and they are not just growing more confident each year but it is starting to show in the results. Silsbee would lose this game almost every time a few years ago.  Crumbling under the intensity and magnitude of this game.
The last thing I will say is the mystique is not gone from WOS Mustang Football...  Silsbee took this very serious because it was a test in many ways...
Can they be the next power football program in this area or not?
Can they handle the pressure and high expectation that comes from their community with it?
Time will tell and for me, 30+ years of witnessing football in the 409 will always be the same.  Tough and emotional.
Keep the mystique Stangs'.  Fight back as you always have and lets keep at it. See ya in the playoffs.

WOS has lost to ranked PNG in overtime, Newton by 4, and #2 Silsbee by 14. I mean, that’s not completely horrible. Any other 4A team and down in this area would most likely have these 3 same losses if it were their schedule.

Some people only want to see the Mustangs in a bad light smh. I hope the guys who came back to shake hands continue to be leaders for the team.

WOS put up 50+ points. Newton a premier team scored 50. Both defenses are struggling but its still a good game. Just a lot of griping on here

Orangefield. 
 
I'll put a sno-cone on it. Any takers? 😁

Just a reminder to everyone. Nobody wins or loses scrimmages.
Carry on

Sunrise practices and or sunset practices.  Anything after 10 am or before 5pm is a crap shoot
