You're obviously a youngster or just plain ignorant.  Rockwall, McKinney, Katy Mayde Creek, Kerrville Tivy, New Braunfels, Tomball and Corpus Christi Calallen amongst others would disagree with you as none of them have beaten us all while being highly ranked in very clutch games very late in the playoffs.  Win or lose we've had the honor of playing and quite often beating some of the legendary programs in the state (Gilmer, Ennis, Cuero, Sinton, Navasota, Carthage, La Vega, Giddings, Houston Yates at their peak, La Marque multiple times at their peak, West Brook when they were #1, PNG when they were #1, TJ when they were #1) and Celina coming up!  There's close to 40 State Championships combined amongst that group of schools. At the very least (and I don't think I should even have to qualify this statement) we've advanced far enough year after year to come up against these great teams so making a statement that we ALWAYS come up short is laughable.
Using ALWAYS in your statements is hyperbole and completely false in actuality.

WOS has nothing to be embarrassed about.  They've won 61 games in the last 5 seasons (Top 15 in the State out of all classifications), made three Quarterfinal appearances and two State Final appearances in those five years and lost to 3 State Champions and worst case scenario we'll lose to a 4th. No team anywhere closer to us than Katy can tout the same.  Deal with it.

Have fun when the Celina fans find the site.  They're a hoot over on mine. *major sarcasm intended*  It's gonna be a long week.

Letter from David Cusack, the quarterback of the 1970 Cuero football team that advanced to the school's first state final, to this year's Gobblers
 
Dear Coach Reeve's, Coaching staff and Gobbler team members,
My name is David Cusack, I was the quarterback and co-captain of the 1970 gobbler football team. That was the first Cuero high school football team to ever reach the state final playoffs against astronomical odds in most everyones eyes!. Before the season began most people felt if we won one and two games we would be lucky. I on the other hand was determined to lead my team to the state championship. We as a team realized that if you line up against guys that are bigger, faster, tougher, and stronger than we were, we would have to go out on that field and get in there and play our hearts out as a united team or we were gonna wimp out and shrink to the challenge in front of us. How many of you all realize that team morale is to these physical attibutes what I call 4 to 1. You see your attitude is 4 times more important then these physical attributes, if you are all united in one heart, one mind!
Stay the course fellow gobblers, finish what you have started. Know deep in your hearts you can accomplish a state championship. We the former Gobblers want to inspire you all to show up and exemplify once again why the Cuero Gobblers are true legends of Texas high school football!
I can promise you this, what you will cherish the most as you get older is the profound bonding and collective friendship you have developed with your coaches and teammates, when most people had written you off as losers early on in the season. That is something so so special that no one will ever be able to take away from you. For you will carry it with you for the rest of your lives.
Even to this day at 62 years of age, I still celebrate, honor and appreciate my teammates and coaches, that inspired me to not only believe in miracles, but to expect them! We as a team had that attitude united in one heart one mind, with one goal in our focus to go to the state championship. We won a 3 way coin flip to even get to play for the district championship as we were tied with 2 other teams. We were the laughing stock of most everybody who wrote us off as flukes as we were 30 to 40 point underdogs in all of our post district games. We were playing undefeated teams who had won most of their games by 40 points!! We all realized under the guidance of Coach Gilbreth and his staff that a real man gets over his self centered ego and serves the higher good for the team. United in this understanding you will be invincible, yet divided you will surely fail! A man of real integrity keeps his promises to himself, his coaches, his family and most importantly to his teammates. So I encourage you all to go out there and prove to yourselves and all the naysayers, who wrote you off, that you are here to carry on the legend of the fighting green machine. So I hope and pray that you all become examples for the future teams as the "promise keepers" of the fighting Gobbler spirit. My prayers be with you.
Sincerely
D

Gilmer DOES have a 30 game winning streak going...   they aren't just going to lay down and die. Plus... they're 2-0 against Celina all-time and beat them 67-14 last year.  Yes, Celina has been more consistent this year but other than that win over Argyle 3 months ago, which is exactly how long ago Cuero lost to Wharton by 22 points (whom WOS beat by 32 points),  who else have they beaten? Gilmer matches up very well against Celina.  I think WOS has a very good chance against either if we make it past Cuero.  We've had two shots against Gilmer and held our own both times but came up short.  Celina is a different animal.  I'd love to see a WOS/Celina matchup just to say we played a legendary program like that but honestly I think we have a much better chance if we face Gilmer again.
 

I'm trying to set up a meet and greet with the Sinton and Cuero peeps next week.  I'm sure fans from both teams will be there no matter who wins tomorrow.

Gratz to the Mustangs on officially breaking their single season team scoring record breaking 600 points for the first time ever at 608.

Carthage is gonna have problems with the La Vega defense.

Don't be surprised if you see Cuero knocking off Sinton to reach the semis. Sinton only beat them 14-10 in district play, coming from behind to score with less than a minute left in the game.  Cuero is coming off wins over two previously unbeaten teams in Orange Grove and Navarro and Sinton will be the third consecutive unbeaten team they've faced.

yeah...  Carthage, Brownwood and Celina fans will cut you if you even suggest that there's an outside chance their team could lose.  I deal with it daily on the statewide site.

Just a tiny stat..  WOS is 11 points away from breaking their all-time single scoring record of 576 points which was set last year.  We're currently at 566.

We're down to 101 11-man UIL teams left alive as of right now.  There will be only 80 left after this weekend.  5 Top 10 Teams in 4A fell today with Navasota, Kennedale, Sweetwater, Geronimo Navarro and Giddings all losing.
