    85 Yates

    88 Carter

    83 Dangerfield

    That's it.  That's the p

    Meh...

    i went on a rant on Twitter last night but I believe all three were overhyped.  That's not the same as saying they weren't great but they all have a built up media aura around them that just wasn't true.

     Look up what Bay City did in 1983.  They won 4A that year, not Carthage and I'd have put money on Bay City if they had faced Daingerfield.  The Permian team Carter beat in 1988 lost 3 games and Carter wouldn't have even qualified for the playoffs had it been 7 years earlier.  WOS played that 1985 Yates team in the 3rd round of the playoffs in the Astrodome as one of the smallest 5A teams in the state (we dropped to 4A the next year) and WOS was winning that game deep into the 4th Quarter until Yates got two very late TDs to win 19-6.  I was at that game as a Junior in high school.

     

    In answer to the original thread question: Yates over Carter no question.

     

    I'd put 2003 North Shore over both of them.  Only one team scored more than 7 points against them that season in the age of the Spread and no one ever seems to give them credit.

    Yes, I would certainly be more proud of what Obama had to say about Ferguson. In fact, he encouraged it. You should truly be proud of your Berkley leftys. You tow that line?

    I don't follow neo Nazis, but they have as much right to protest or march as the Muslims, the female Vaginas, the gays, the climate fools, or the racist blm.

    I'm afraid you either don't keep up with the news, or you have serious reading comprehension problems (or maybe I just don't write well).  I'm not talking about white or black, nor defending anyone.  I'm talking about mobs of idiots on the left attacking conservatives.  Since before the election mobs were attacking Trump supporters, many times with little, or no Police intervention.  Conservative speakers have been attacked on college campuses, again with no Police protection.

    Mobs of people are like children, they'll do until forced to stop.  The Leftist idiots have been attacking for about a year now, with impunity.  So it empowered the idiots on the right to try to throw their weight around.  I'm not defending anyone, merely pointing out, if you let mobs rule, mobs will try to rule.  This should've been stopped when they threw eggs in the woman's face after a Trump campaign speech before the election.  It escalated to the shooting of a Repub Senator.  All the signs were there.  Imo, the blame goes to all the authorities that let this get to this point.  It needs to stop, and it needs to stop now.

    1. It's spelled Berkeley

    2. I'm an M.D. so I do know how to read and write unlike some of you.

    3. I'm not gonna get into an arguement with you about Trump because there's no point. 

    4. Have a nice day. Go Mustangs. :)

    This is the hidden content, please

    This was inevitable since authorities have consistently let leftist groups attack those on the right.  I've posted on here several times recently this was going to happen.  You cannot allow groups to continually attack others and not expect retaliation.  I just hope authorities will stop this XXXX from now on.

    I'm sorry but are you seriously defending right-out racist Nazis? You've got to be kidding me.  There is no "white oppression" and there was never any white slavery. You're comparing apples and oranges.

  4. It's a rather unfair question to begin with.   Yes, NO team closer than Harris or Galveston county can claim a winning record against WOS.  WOS has 384 wins since opening in 1977.  Nederland hit win 384 in 1997 after having played since 1925.  I think PNG hit win 384 in 1987.   

    But over the eras there were always dominant teams dating back to the start of the UIL in 1909. 

    TJ and Beaumont High were superpowers in the 1920's through the 1950's with TJ winning state titles in 1929 and 1944 when only ONE champion was proclaimed in the state.  

    Port Neches had several peaks with two state titles in the early 1950's and another spectacular four year run in the 1970's with a title in 1975.  After PNG's run in the early '50s Nederland came along and won a title in 1957.  In fact both Nederland and TJ hosted the state title games at home on the same day that year just miles apart with Nederland beating Sweetwater and TJ losing to Highland Park.

    Bridge City won a title in the mid 1960s and then in the '80s we had TJ in the title game again in 1980, West Brook winning in 1982 and French co-champs with Permian in 1984.

    in the lower classifications Hull-Daisetta actually held the NATIONAL winning streak record for almost 20 years not losing a game from 1935-1939 before they were surpassed by Abilene. H-D finally got a state title in 1979.

    Newton has won 3 and don't forget about Burkeville.  Barbers Hill also won 2 when they were tiny back in the 1970s.

    This is just mentioning programs with hardware but with the relative population we're talking about down here compared to DFW, San Antonio and any area within 200 miles of the Rio Grande we've done pretty well consistently for over a century as a community and I take pride in that.

  5. Carthage is gonna have one of their strongest squads ever this year.  I'm pretty sure they will be #1 across the board preseason in 4A.  Silsbee will have a rough time if they run in to them again.

     

    As far as WOS is concerned we shall see. There are a few ifs. I'd be happy with a 7-2 or 8-1 regular season (we're not playing KIPP this year so only have 9 games). Kennedale is much improved this year, but WOS has played 48 games in the last 3 seasons and is seasoned so 9-0 is a possibility. I honestly don't see any team in Region 3 competing yet again for the 4th year in a row unless Giddings vastly improves or Robinson finds a replacement for their QB from last year. Cuero is gonna be really good the next two years so I'll be conservative and predict 12-2 with the possibility of a 3-peat definitely there. 

     

    Just my two cents.

  6. I have a feeling Cuero will be pretty good the next two years. As long as we maintain the Chaingang Defense it will be difficult for any team in 4A D2 to get past WOS.

    I agree 4A D2 is definitely pretty weak. In 10 years 2007-2016 WOS has only lost 5 times to teams included in the current division alignment. Gilmer x 2, Jasper, Giddings, and Brookshire.
