Whaley is a man among boys no matter what team he is playing. No matter how much they win by, it's just an expression to show how big and talented he is, not how small the other team is or to degrade the other players.

No playoffs again...Time for our annual slogan...Maybe next year.  Good luck Dogs, Indians, Jags and Raiders.
Our kids are too talented and deserve a better outcome than this.

it's ok cause they just got away with one too lol

Rhodes is winning. 3 touchdowns and god knows how many yards 

22-0 Raider Nation 

there's a difference in playing in the elements (Mother Nature), and trying to create the elements to benefit your team. Lol

If he's a D1 recruit and they want him to play WR and it's a position he hasn't played at a lot, they will put him there to get the experience and reps. The opposing coaches aren't dumb though. They know who is dangerous and will plan their D accordingly. Probably the best thing for the young man's future but maybe not the best thing for his current team.
 

it's tough when your best player is a receiver. Easier for the defense to key in on him and you gotta have a decent quarterback to get him the ball as well (and I know nothing about yalls qb so I'm not saying he is bad, so please don't take it that way) just saying its a lot easier to hand the ball to your stud running back than it is to get it to a star receiver

not really! We will still run the ball with success. Won't be as easy but the rested our o line is good as well.

I believe most of our hurt players are back and healthy again... Hopefully the same for GCM so we can see the best game possible. And of course prayers for no injuries tonight!

I completely agree with what was said... Sometimes we forget that coaching is a job just like anything else. Mistakes are going to happen. If I was fired for the first mistake I made, then I wouldn't have a job right now. These guys are human, with wives and kids and bills and worries and regrets just like all of us... If people at work have an issue with me then I would hope they would come directly to me in a professional way and address it and not go around griping about it to everyone else. You can't truly understand what goes into coaching high school football unless you've done it yourself!

It doesn't matter how qualified a person is to speak on a situation or how true anything may be.  There might be legitimate gripes, actual abuses by a coach, ulterior motives, favoritism or anything else. 
The problem isn't whether something is true or if it is a valid situation or opinion. It is simply the owner of this forum's opinion that this is not the proper venue for such discussion. There are other places to make such thoughts. SETX Sports wants to keep this site away from that kind of chatter.

Usually as the lone utility of a game update thread for me is to update our scoreboard, I generally will not read a thread once I have gotten a final score in that game.  The only time I may look in a game thread after game day once is when the game thread continues to have life almost a week after the final gun has been fired as it indicates that something is amiss.  I had the opportunity to do that in about 4 different cases and there was certainly something amiss and all for the same reason.
It seems that in all 4 of these cases (I won't mention the specific schools, but after I reveal the problem, I think it will be pretty obvious of which ones I am talking about) supporters of the teams want to lay all of the problems of a team at the feet of the coaching staff, or more particularly, the head coaches at these schools.  I understand frustration at losing to a rival, losing a game that you thought your school should win or by more than you though they should lose by.  But some of the statements in the 4 cases have gone way far beyond that.  They openly question the ability, and in some cases the desire, of these coaches to put a good team on the field. 
Folks, we simply have to stop that.  Jordan Wilson has prided himself on this site being a place where all members of our local community, including coaches, could come to talk about what we all love to talk about, high school sports.  And make no mistake, coaches DO read this site.  However, who would want to come to a site where they are not only told they lack the ability to place the squad of your dreams on the field, but that they really don't care if they do or not.  If you truly feel that way, there are places to have your grievances aired and possibly addressed.  However, this is not one of those places.
Simply airing your problem with a coach here simply accomplishes no end.  It only serves to divide teams and distance coaches from the communities whose support, not scorn, is what they need to maintain the respect amongst their ranks and progress their teams to the point that the fans believe they should be.
Not to mention that such conduct is against the rules of this board.  But I would rather put it in terms of a request that you folks, who I know are capable of restraint even in the extreme moments of frustration, exercise that restraint so that more rigid enforcement of the rules is not necessary.  I do so with this warning, should my request not be heeded, that more rigid enforcement will become necessary.
Thanks for indulging me.folks.

It don't taste so bad.
Here is my favorite:
Crow Pie:

1 crow
stuffing of your choice
salt and pepper
shortening
flour
2 Pie crust mixes
2-3 hard-boiled eggs

Stuff the crow. Loosen joints with a knife but do not cut through. 
Simmer the crow in a stew-pan, with enough water to cover, until nearly tender, then season with salt and pepper. Remove meat from bones and set aside.
Prepare pie crusts as directed. (Do not bake)
Make a medium thick gravy with flour, shortening, and juices in which the crow has cooked and let cool.
Line a pie plate with pie crust and line with slices of hard-boiled egg. Place crow meat on top. Layer gravy over the crow. Place second pie dough crust over top.
Bake at 450 degrees for 1/2 hour.

Bottom line: A Coach wants to WIN. Its called Job Security!
I don't think any of them would intentionally set the team up to lose.
 

We are always underDogs in Nederland because we don't get any D-1s , shoot we don't hardly get any D- 3 s but we got some great coaches ( wizards) even so I don't know how we will be able  to hang in there  for these next 3 ? May not even show up for Raiders I mean who wants to get run over by  a  lumber train !  Good luck Raiders ! 

I have not seen Rhodes play, but I'm sure he is a very talented player from what fans of his team are saying. Is he committed to play anywhere after high school ball? I know GCM's Duke is committed to SMU, and had offers from TCU as well as others. I'm looking forward to this game. Winning this game is essential to both teams playoff aspirations.

true, when I played the jv was scout team for varsity and ran the opposing teams plays.. We very rarely even worked on our plays at all. 

freshmen #77 is almost just as big as #77 on varsity.. Definitely some good talent coming up for the next few years. Big linemen and good running backs!

We talked about that after the game Friday before the boys loaded the bus and he said he hasn't committed anywhere yet but OU is looking at him 
 

Ok. Yall got me again. I got a little carried away. :-)

You never know what the Lord will bring when you face tragedy. The loss of Reggie was tragic and something that all of SETX felt together, but now it has allowed WOS to reach out and support Alto in their time of need. This is awesome and I am moved by it.

probably one of the more underrated players in the district..
