Great post Tony, and congratulations.  Nothing was given to them, they have earned everything.

Thanks Coach. They have absolutely earned everything. From the time we were 5, we would walk on the football field and we could hear the other coaches and fans talking about how small we were and we were small. But we knew something that those people didn't know. They all knew when the game was over. I've seen a lot of teams play baseball and football. I've never seen a team play to not disappoint the next to him more than he played for himself like this team does.

I'm not sure, but I think that may be the case.  td probably knows more about that.

I'm still enjoying the victory last night. Honestly haven't asked but I'll find out later. Sitting here trying to make myself believe all of this is real. When these boys were very young we knew they were special. As they got to be 9, 10, and 11 the reality of what we thought was right before our eyes. We said back then that they had 2 State Championships in them. Now we've lost a few of those boys. A couple of them moved to Beaumont and actually one is visiting Yale this weekend to play football. The pride and joy that these boys have given me and a lot of other people is just amazing. I didn't mean to go on a rant about the boys but it's just what's on my mind right now. Can you even imagine? Three State appearance in a row. Not to mention a State appearance in baseball. Thanks for the ride fellas!!!!

That's another group of fans that said we haven't played anyone all year. If that's the case I guess we still haven't.

I just hope WOS supt comes to his senses and doesn't make those poor players and coaches sit on yellow dogs for a 6 hour road trip the day of the state title game. Get those guys some charter buses and a hotel. Lord knows they deserve it.

Here's what you don't know, the Sup didn't and doesn't decide that. He offered charter buses. Coaches and players made that choice. They said it's not a vacation they are going to work. So your opinion of the Sup is all wrong!!! And yes they did stay in a hotel.

Thank you. There's nothing there. The message is stay the course. We have been right where y'all are. The kids that read this think you expect them to win by 3 or 4 td and if they don't they have let you down. Their job is to win by 1. That's all I'm saying.

Anyone can be beat on any given night. It's obvious that you don't know or understand this group of kids. They are different. They're focused on the goal and they focus on one game at a time. You just have to know the kids. I can assure you should something go bad wrong and we lost, it wouldn't be because they read the message board. Always have been different.

This..........is the attitude that got Newton beat. Newton was better than Arp. The best team........don't always win. 

Congrats on the win Carthage.

A big congrats to WOS. I know most expected them to win this game. This is such a huge accopmlishment 3 back to back to back semi finals appearences. Such a massive accomplishment. This is right their with the Lamarques and the Stephensville Yellowjackets of the 1990's SO proud you are from our area!!!!!

Thanks for the kind words. I think as Mustang fans we get spoiled and expect so much from our boys. We should not forget to stop and smell the roses. What these boys do is simply amazing. Not to mention I think we had 12 seniors on the honor roll. Forgot to look at the other classes. Proud of the Mustangs!

Big time shout out to Paul Ivory who stepped in at center for Rags who was nursing an injury... I know it started a little rough but for someone who had never done it on this stage, well ...you have to  give the kid a ton of credit. WELL DONE Paul. 

Amen Dexter. As far as I know that's Paul's first game at center. I couldn't be more proud of the young man. He settle in and did a fine job. I think Rags will be back this week. 

I agree and always help others. Great job Coach. If my boys didn't play at WOS, newton would've been a great place for them.

Got it. Thanks and yes I can see that but I guess I like old fashion and keep the rich tradition. : )

 

We bring those players on a bus. Just aren't dressed out.

I believe that Giddings will be the best team that WOS has seen this year.  I don't think WOS is losing this game but Giddings has the players to make it very interesting.  Send them home MUSTANGS!!!!

Better than Kennedale?? They're still playing also!!

Yup....well said.  A young man thought he could help and certainly has.  Regardless of any extra points, like Griff said, he has been instrumental in this teams success.  WOS doesn't have to do "mortar kicks" and have the opposing team start at the 40.  From the 40, a team only needs a couple first downs and they are in 4 down territory.  Someone pointed out that the average starting field position is the 27...huge difference.  It is basically making a team march the length of the field against a great defense.  

With that being said, I have more confidence in our XPs than I have in a long time.  Along with the ability to nail a field goal if need be.  Many of us are aware of the challenges that this position faces with our team.  I applaud both young men for stepping up.

So unmmmmm TD....do you have anymore Dallas boys coming up through the ranks?!

All out. My 2018 is the caboose.

I feel like The wing T/ Slot T works in this Humongous 4A D2 that you speak of. 3 years ago this was 3a D2. The only reason we movedup was the creation of 6a. 

And that monster you are talking about was 2A D1 just 3 years ago.

I've talked to CD, I'll be there a few times this week. My schedule has been hectic at best with the new company, that's why I haven't been able to get out there.

Trust me I'm not complaining at all. Any and everything we can get from you is gravy and we appreciate the time you take away from family and give to the Mustangs. I'm just finally fed up with this one guy beating a dead horse when I know how bad they want to be successful. Everything you think in your head doesn't have to be put on here. And if the truth be told, my daddy feelings are probably showing. Lol

Going for two isn't a bad option. Trust me both boys would rather go for two than to miss the xtra point. 

All of this being said, we do occasionally get some help and it's greatly appreciated. 

Going for two isn't a bad option. Trust me both boys would rather go for two than to miss the xtra point.

WOS would be the complete team if we only had a better kicking game. Sorry but we have had all year to try to be consistent but still not there. Would be worth it to just go for 2 points.

Man I'm tired of you posting the same crap. I think it's obvious that the xtra point kicking game isn't where we want it. However, we have two boys that are working every single day to do the best they can. We don't have a kicking coach that works with them on a regular basis. They basically try to figure it on their own. So if they develop bad habits then unfortunately that's what they practice. Trust me, they know about their short comings. If it makes you feel better about yourself to point out the obvious all the time, then please continue. I know how much work and extra practice goes into trying to get better but I'm not a kicking coach so I'm not much help. If you are please let me know. We would welcome your expertise.

Marshman ur absolutely correct. And for a team to have a wr over 90 catches is awesome. ND a qb that has over 4000yds passing is great. W.o will eventually get challenged. It just want b this week. Our d-line will dominate again. ND they will put #19 in front of the 6'5 wr and throw him off his routes.i hope ppl start to see that w.o has very gud corners ND they are over due. Robinson has no defense. This once again will be blowout city.

Our corners are #15 and #7!!!!!!!

Final?

Not many highlights for the Longhorns.  We had 2 first downs I believe.  A couple nice kickoff returns; we had quite a few attempts.  A couple good defensive stands. 

WO-S speed was over-whelming to say the least.  Mix that in with some good hard running and it was a long night on defense for the Horns.

I was most impressed with the class that was exhibited by both teams.  WO-S did very, very little showboating.  They played with a lot of class and respect for their over-matched opponent.  

My Horns gave it what they had and played with good attitudes and sportsmanship.  Wasn't a whole lot of helping each other off the turf, but there wasn't any nasty stuff that you might see sometimes in a lopsided affair.

Our players will look back on this as a learning experience and set their sights on getting better.  This was a rebuilding year for us and it showed.  We lose a few really good seniors, but have a lot of underclassmen who gained valuable experience tonight.

About the only weakness I saw with WO-S is a tendency to over-pursue the ball which leaves the counter and reverse open, but with so much speed what would be a TD or a huge gain against most teams is 8-10 yards against you guys.  That and the inconsistency on the extra points.  Dallas kid can sure boot that ball on kickoffs, why is he not the normal place kicker?

Best of luck to WO-S.  Hope you bring home another trophy to SE Texas. 

 

 

 

He just started learning to kick in December then came baseball season and summer baseball. Picked it back up in August. He isn't as consistent at xtra points as we would like and the freshman Pauline Santos is also getting better. They both need work. Here's to hoping we get better with time. 

I'll give it to Tarkington. They never quit. Players played till the end.
