There is no business to put out there.  Parents were mad because of this or that, the loudest mouths won out.  It is what it is.  But the truth is, Bennett is an exceptional coach who loves those kids.  He has had numerous opportunities to go elsewhere but has stayed for them.  Yes, he knew this was probably coming, but the timing was unprofessional.  The kids will be fine, because they have the heart for baseball.  PROUD of my husband and his accomplishments, his integrity, and his love for the game.  

Well said.  The now former baseball coach has been successful there, and I believe he took Orangefiled to the state tournament a few years back. He's been working with the kids all year and probably looking forward to a very successful season as I think they Kirbyville is supposed to be pretty good this year. The damn season already started.  Yet in comes in a new AD and HFC, who happened to be his assistant last year, to relieve him of his duties. Pretty damn bush league. It makes the new AD look bad, and the town look bad from the outside.  This simply could have been handled in a more professional way, and it wasn't.  But it appears the people in K'Ville don't care. Sad.

Perception is everything, the optics on this deal are not very good. Y'all got the guy y'all wanted, that's fine. 
A baseball coach who's had success (I know he hasn't won the titles elsewhere like Jones) was reassigned a few weeks into the season. That's pretty bush league. I don't know the ins and outs, I do know that I have never heard anything negative about Bennett. I can't say the same for Jones. 
I hope that Bennett lands on his feet somewhere, I'm sure he'll do fine. I hope the citizens and tax payers of Kirbyville are happy with the way this was handled, and experience tons of success.
I don't wish ill on anyone. In my opinion, this could've been handled more efficiently. 

One of the best post I've read. What an inspirational story. Thanks for sharing!

Hello everyone,

My name is Terrell Brittain and I am deaf. I want to tell you how I feel and need express my feeling as well. I suppose to graduate with class of 1998. I went to West Orange Stark in 1994-1996 and played football and baseball. You don't have to read this if you don't like to read long message! Haha

You might wonder why my user is WOS1986. Let me explain why. When I was little boy and went first state championship WOS vs. McKinney in 1986 that how I remembered. After that, my dad keep take me to watch WOS every Fridays and I told him that my dream is to play Mustang with silver and blue helmet on me.

I went to Texas School for the Deaf in Austin, TX. I realized that there is Deaf world and impact my life that who I am and reason why I have been success with my career. I am professor at University of Houston to teach American Sign Language for Interpreting program. I am proud what I done and pride deaf myself. I marry to deaf wife and had precious 2 kids who are hearing but they know the sign language that can communicate with us which is amazing. I am happy man and enjoy to continue great journey with many more years later. My wife really love to attend WOS game even she never attend WOS and really enjoy to watch football games. 

Sometime, I feel regret that I left without say goodbye or let them know to my friends, players, teachers, and coaches. I played nose guard in defense. In 1994 freshman year, first practice at football was so amazing and coaches allow me to play since most people think deaf can’t play anything which is not true and I prove coaches that I can play. I ended up play junior varsity team after only 2 or 3 games for freshman team because I play so hard and like animal tackle quick. In 1995 sophomore year, practice on the field somehow coach T call my name to play with varsity group then I suddenly shock and not play well myself that is not who I am then coach put me back to junior varsity team again because I was not ready. When I arrived home and I was so mad and upset myself because I was so close to varsity team. Coach call my name to be part of this team for playoff and I was so thrilled about that and I never forget that game which is against LaMarque  in 1995 and lost 7-18. I was so hurt bad and pissed off after that game because I see Sias, Lock, Feathers, and Bernard that they were hurt and want win so badly. One day, Lock and Bernard came to me and chat that we will win state champion in 1997 with our classmate so I agreed with them and make me so fire up and goal. However, I ended up went to Austin school.

I never forget that game in 1997. My team (Austin school) got out of the playoff before Thanksgiving so that Thanksgiving week I went to home and asked my brother to take me to watch WOS vs. LaMarque in the playoff. When I arrived and saw my boys during warm up and was hurt myself because I suppose to play with them. When LaMarque open drive and ran the wide open hole middle on WOS defense. I was so pissed off and sick about that and wish that I played that. Maybe or maybe not, if I played and it could be a little different game because I will big fire up and animal as monster to hit hard LaMarque.

I will always bleed in silver and blue no matter what! Even I live in northeast of Houston and still attend watch WOS in Orange that take me 1 and half hours to drive but worth and show my loyal to them. When I can't go then I always look this website to see follow up the score. I really enjoy to see my old friends.

Please do not critique my grammar English cause English is my second language while ASL (American Sign Language) is my first language. That is reason why I don’t post much after I saw sometime people post and insult their language or poor in English. Everyone treat same equal and its human.

I want thank WOSgrad and kicker that encourage me to post and express my feeling and tell who I am so now everyone know who I am.

Sorry for LONG message that you had to read. It is worth for me to tell my feeling now I feel better. Please share with anyone who doesn’t have this account.

Go Mustangs!!!

No, I am in no imminent danger of death. 
My current medical state prevents me from doing several things, but fortunately breathing isn't one of them. LOL
Thank you, 99, all the same for the prayers and kind words.  They are truly appreciated.

Last year most thought the SC was a lock (including me).  This year?  Well we all knew you'd be good - that's a minimum at WOS, but to have so many new starters step up and play Mustang football has made this years team even more special.  So in the SC game, step it up one more time.  Man, everyone in the area should be proud of y'all.  Here in Evadale, I'm Mustang Proud!  You CAN do it.  One more win!

What he’s got is scoreboard.  Nice season Salado.  The Mustangs might not be world beaters but they’ve beat 38 in a row who have lined up across from them.  Very few schools in the country can say that.  Certainly none that start with Salad and end with -o-.

4 straight Regional wins, that in itself is something to be proud about as a School. I have enjoyed this journey this team is on and regardless of the destination, the journey is and has been fun for me. 

Nothing wrong with that. Go ahead and wear your Newton gear so we will notice and give you some thanks and WO-S appreciation. 

WOS 2nd and 1 TImeout WOS :54 left in the 2nd

This game was never in doubt at all. Just glad we were able to leave almost injury free. Hope Chaka heal up real fast. Our defense is playing championship level right now. 

P.S. Chad Dallas was fantastic. Without his kicking skills tonight's game would have been even tougher.  

What a great Coach and man!
 

For those that are a little young, Coach Young, who coached Bridge City from 1967-1992 and Texas City from 1993 until his retirement, garnered over 700 wins in his career.
His teams snagged made 31 playoff appearances, 15 district titles, 15 bi-district wins, 10 regional quarterfinals, 6 regional semifinals and 2 state championship game appearances (one with Bridge City, one with Texas City).  He was inducted into the Texas High School Baseball Coaches' Association Hall of Fame in 2008.
But probably his greatest accomplishment would be that even though he has not coached for an Orange County team in over 25 years, any player or coach in the county would have run through a brick wall out if he would have asked them to if only out of the love for that man.
 

They both were gud calls.bmt soulja 1 whenever u do get time go watch this Silsbee team play. They have a gud football team.

I didn't go to the game.  I listened to the broadcast.  I thought Barnes was on offense and the Stang DB held him and got a defensive holding.  Is that not what happened?

If I'm wrong, I can own up to it...

Ok... I understand.  It happened both ways...

Barnes got held by Morris resulting in PI.
A Mustang WR got held by Barnes, who played defense tonight because a player was suspended, resulting in a PI.

You mean like when the fastest kid in the state held our guy to keep from getting ran by. Everyone gets beat on a play every now and then. Only happened once on both of them that I can remember and it was a good hold on both sides. 

Reminder
This is a 7pm kickoff

But watching w.o. practice the o/L and D/L . Biggest questions marks ??? But the 2 new kids could play a huge roll for them.

Could quite possibly be the best two teams to represent SETX and Reg3 this year in both their divisions. We shall see.

I can't wait. Both teams will get alot Out OF it.
