Well, I just wanted  to let you and some of your minions know our band who loves to play in what you call a hellhole was walking our stands during the game tonight  taking up donations from our fans including me so your band could to go to a clinic in Chicago. Your band was told because of the budget cuts in your school district they wouldn’t be able to attend. So our band director & kids decided to take action to help out the Crosby band. An I can tell you that a lot of people that gave are still trying to get back in thier home from Harvey. A lot of these people lost everything and they still have a giving heart. That’s why I love this community! So want you take your overrated parasite butt an crawl back underneath the rock you can from. Great Game Pirates!

Classless, but wouldn’t expect anything less from you 14.2

LOL you guys are a hoot.  "fatigue" "tired".  It's called playing both ways. Crosby enrollment 1779, WO-S enrollment 581.  Crosby is literally more than 3 times larger than WO-S. Grats on beating a team with a third of your depth after being behind for 3 quarters.

(Note: I'm not responding exclusively to Cougar 14.2, but this quote sums up a lot of what I'm responding to on this thread. Appreciate ya'll, and I'm enjoying the back and forth from everyone.)
Judging PNG on a single game is silly -- I admit there are causes for concern, but looking at "How PNG was without RJ" in the minutes after he got hurt is not a good look at how PNG will be without him. Losing a player like RJ mid-game is demoralizing. Let's see how PNG plays with a week to prepare for it. 
What is strange to me out of all of this is how quick/eager everyone is to rush to use a single game as an indictment on the entire PNG program (a program with more history and better results than most teams represented on this forum). PNG has had really good moments in recent history, really good moments that didn't involve Roschon Johnson. 
Further, let's stop acting like Roschon Johnson doesn't benefit from being at PNG. It's true that: 1) he would be good anywhere, and 2) he has a seemingly never-ending list of God-given talents and innate ability that anyone would term "once-in-a-generation" (to quote Coach Riordan of Crosby). But it is also true that we cannot fully separate Roschon's rapid development from the good quarterback coaching he gets from Coach Faircloth. Coach Faircloth has a long history of making so-so QBs decent, good QBs great, and great QBs legendary. There is no measurable way to concretely say that being at PNG hasn't made Roschon better. It is strange to me the tendency people on this site have to separate RJ from PNG, as if he isn't on the team. He is certainly a huge part of what makes PNG good at this point in time, but if this team had developed without him (as all but two other PNG teams in history have had to do), the team would find ways to be good, as the vast majority of PNG teams have done. 
None of this is intended to minimize the impact RJ has, and his value to the team. In my opinion, he is by the far the best, most dynamic player in PNG history. 
Finally, this idea that PNG is "just not that good" deserves some consideration. Good, relative to what? The reality is that there are several hundred teams in Texas. Half of them are at or below average. On a normal statistical distribution, about 60% of the teams will cluster on either side of the median, being slightly better or slightly worse than average. Does anyone honestly think that PNG is below average in the state of Texas? And, if we are above average, doesn't that make us "good." I don't mean "great," I don't mean "legendary." I mean "good." And even if I were to take at face value the argument that PNG is "simply not good," then I have to ask why PNG has so consistently beaten so many teams represented on this forum? If PNG is so bad, what's wrong with the rest of you? If PNG is so bad, we certainly over-perform enough for us to be confident that things are going to be ok. 
It also strikes me as telling that some of the most eager voices to rush to put dirt on the PNG grave site support programs with less pedigree.
Crosby? They are good right now, but they have certainly had their ups and downs in recent history.
Port Arthur? Given the talent, depth, and potential with which that team is swarming, juxtaposed with its mostly so-so performance across its 15-ish years in existence, Port Arthur might be one of the most under-performing teams in the area.
Nederland? Certainly a solid program, but the Bulldogs are no strangers to starting out slow and finishing strong.
So before we all rush to write PNG's obituary, a little perspective can help see that we'll be fine. Even if we lose on Saturday, even if this whole season goes down the drain (I say it won't, but time will tell), we still have a proven history of coming back the next year and punching "better" teams right in the teeth.

Questions to answer? Questions to answer? Who is going to take the heat off of Johnson? Last time we played there was Hughes, Riggs, McZeal they factored in big in helping Johnson. Is there anyone on this PNG team that talented? It will be interesting to see if PNG inexperience WR try to get open. Will the PNG offensive line constantly open holes for the RB and Johnson to run, also how much time is needed for Johnson to be able to throw? This defense of PNG if it is better than last years defense, how much better is it? One touchdown, two touchdown better? Will it be enough? Since Taylor and Martin have started together in the back field for Silsbee only one team slowed them down, Carthage! Now that brings me to Silsbee. Just how well has this offense reloaded at skilled positions? Will thunder and lighten keep on storming along? How has the QB and WRs synched up with each other? How is the defense going to contain Johnson? On the ground or in the air! These are the questions that will be addressed and answered Friday night. You don't know the answers, it will be played out on the field. Lots of tradition will be on the field come Friday. These teams of been playing football sense the 1920's, that's darn near one hundred years. Good luck Friday night and here's to a safe game. TigerNation!!!

The last time these 2 teams played, the score was 54-27 and it was Shug’s first ever varsity football game. 2 years later, I suspect he has his way with Silsbee’s defense. 

Probably the fact that Brook has probably one of the most talented receiver corps in the state.  I believe 4 of them have multiple d-1 offers.  Those kids can go and will get open and make plays all season against any competition...

My takeaways from watching from mid second quarter(got there late). Typical scrimmage with lots of rotation of players. Both teams won due to the quality of each team (the whole point of a scrimmage). WOS looked a little larger than normal up front. DB’s look typical WOS speed but we’re out of position many times against the pass. Great to see many “pearl” helmets making plays to try and earn that Silver helmet. Haven’t seen #45 before but played well at linebacker for WOS. Tyrone throws one of the most beautiful passes I’ve ever seen but the timing is off which led to a couple INT’s. That will get fixed. Running game needs some work but I believe that was mostly the blocking up front. PNG has some big kids up front. They always do but that could be a huge plus for them this season. RJ is nasty as that’s the first time I’ve seen him in person. Passes the “real deal” eye test. On his scramble for a TD run once he got past the LB’s it was like he hit the turbo button, the kid is lightning fast!! I look forward to following him and the NDN’s for the season. PNG could have a very special team this year, they are fast at all positions. Their D looked great even though they rotated out many players and rightfully so due to it being a scrimmage. All in all, I believe it ended up showing 2 things.....PNG looks like they will make a lot of noise in 5A and WOS, although young, looks to be pretty dang salty. Once again, it’s just a scrimmage but I liked what I saw.....minus the blocking and pass timing for WOS(which will be corrected) and look forward to following both teams on a long season. 

Can’t believe this thread is dying.  I’ll resurrect it with my tongue-in-cheek predictions.
Ned will beat PNG.  To explain this is a conundrum.  It’s like trying to explain the infinity of space.  It’s a bigger problem than the human mind can handle.
Crosby will beat Dayton.  Any newcomers to the Forum, be advised you’ll see a LOT of smack talk based on yesteryears, but it won’t be close.
Barbers Hill’s Superintendent will complain if they have a game on natural grass.  In the first place, he’s a jerk.  And in the second place, he’s still a jerk.
Vidor will play Crosby a very tough, closer than you’d think, game.  Another unexplainable factoid.
Vidor will lead the District in rushing.  Even though the Pirates have a vaunted passing attack, they keep it under wraps.
All visiting Teams should wear mud cleats when playing at Nederland’s Bulldog Stadium . All I can say, it’s a miracle it rains there every Friday.
When PNG and Crosby play, NASA has given the OK for scoreboard operator to use their Super Computer to help total the scores.  Last years official final was 72-69, but after the math squads from both schools went over films, they found it was actually 183-180.  At least the official spread was right.
And my last prediction, Santa Fe probably thinks they’re getting into an easier Distict.  True there are no Manvels, but they’re going to see a bunch of kids that’ll put a helmet on you.

On Tuesday my retirement from 33 years of coaching in east Harris county schools is official. I have been an avid fan of this site,  lurking online to not upset any future employer as I was heavy into trying to land my first head coaching gig. Never happened, bridesmaid 4-5 times. I got a great sales job opportunity from a fellow alumni Marlin Bulldog and started 2 weeks ago in jasper. Just wanted to say love your discussions, your passions, and so do other coaches. Some of your viewpoints are spot on, some ridiculous. Just because you haven't coached high school ball doesn't mean you're wrong. Unfortunately some high school  coaches act like bill O'Brien and talk down to everyone not in the club. That is just insecurities on their part and I hope the Texans overcome bad head coaching again, thank God Romeo Cornell is back. I will be an active member now along with other boards. I know of smoak for my central, deep east fix but is there a site for Houston area?

I guess the master plan is to get us to subscribe from here on out. 

Walmart on Twin City has them by the registers.

I absolutely would NOT have a problem with Matthews.  As a matter of fact, a coach like him would probably be what the team needs.  A man of strong faith, hard nosed disciplinary.  Run first style.  With the athletes that he'll have at his disposal, that could work.  Problem would be with fans and parents that won't give him a chance and refuse to give his offensive scheme a fair shake.  
And I think that whole white coach thing would go out the window if he immediately starts winning...

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!!!

Gonna need a lot more than him. Time to stop being awestruck and someone else to make a name for themselves. Game plan has to allow it for the sake of balance. PNG has lost a game where he runs for 300 and 5tds. Everyone has to step up. No Riggs, no Hughes, not even a Stansbury. Who will step up at WR and on D. FC has shown he not committed to these Rbs but they need to be effective when they do have their moments. 
 

THAT is what you took away from my post?  Barely worth a reply...but if you must know.  I don’t coach.  But I also DO NOT bash those who do.  Because if I thought I could/would do a better job then I would do so.
I will not let a negative comment about a coach go on this site without giving a smart remark.  If you didn’t know that then feel free to ask any of the posters on this site.  And by the way..what post can you quote of me ever implying that I was the “KNOW IT ALL regarding all things coaching”?  Well you won’t find any.
But go ahead..have fun looking. Keyboard warrior.  Good luck in your game next Saturday morning.
