If they re-align, it still needs to be at [size=8pt][b]ivan croak[/b][/size]. [/quote] Please don't call the Boneyard that .    :-[ [/quote] Sorry, the misinformed don't know it as the Boneyard. Just wanted to emphasize that the UIL needs to play some of the games in Vidor. [/quote] No Rob,  This might be a shocker but I agree with you.  It is Ivan Croak field.  So somebody tell me why we shouldnt call it that?  Named after a great man in this community a couple of years ago.  Yes, after the re-alignment we should get the game at [b]Ivan Croak Stadium[/b]

[/quote] Look Rob,  it might look like I comment on alot of your posts but this one I cant let go.  Coming from a Parent that have kids that have played on both the 2009 team and now the 2011.  Comparing the two team defenses is like comparing apples to oranges.  Give the 2009 teams defense a chance to play this style 3-3-5 come and get you defense instead of the 3-4 wait and let the other teams offense pick you apart and that team makes a deep playoff run.  Both teams have great athletes on them but to say the 09 D wasnt as good as this 11 D is crazy.  Look at the rosters of the two teams. [/quote] TITAN POWER again, you're misquoting me. This has absolutely nothing to do with the kids on the field but everything to do with the defensive scheme. I HAVE NO KIDS ON ANY OF THESE TEAMS but I've been a Pirate fan all my 52 years of life and this is how I see it. You are correct in the belief that in 2009 we sat back and let the other team come at us, I agree. The Nederland game that year was a perfect example of letting a sophomore quarterback sit in the pocket with no pressure and pick us apart. Stupid. Quit taking things personally towards the kids, especially your kids. I used to help run a website about these kids in 2003 / 04. When you hear or see me say something bad about one of those children, you can be the first to let me know. Got nothing to do with them! [/quote] Not taking anything personal.  Trust me,  you would know it if I was. Just stating a fact that this defense is no better than the 2009 D when it comes to talent and you cant compare the two without putting them in the same situation.  Now,  a good comparison is the 2010 group which is mainly the same group of kids we have today.  If we stayed in that same 3-4 bend and dont brake this year our record would be the same as it was in 2010.

[quote name="bigdog" post="1078460" timestamp="1318202938"] You still have 4 games left against some of the top teams in the district.  Don't count on the playoffs just yet.  That applies to all teams with the probable exception of Lumberton. [/quote] ^What he said.^  We have the meat of schedule coming up.  We will see what kind of "shape " we are in then.

We are the only team I can think of that is having a good year this year but looking forward to next year.  :o

Good Luck DVille.  Ty, TJ and the gang, Tear um up.  Good Luck from your friends in Vidor

Mike and Jeremy.  The Senior # 16 Powell has started every ball game at QB for Vidor except Bridge City.  He plays both ways also.  Starting Blood Backer and QB.  We have the Thunder and Lighting combo with these two. Quirante will run over you  and Powell will run by you. 

[quote author=GoDogs27 link=topic=88772.msg1074443#msg1074443 date=1317865737] Shouldn't this be a time of celebration people? Its the rapture! 58SHW is the second coming of Christ. Apparently he's perfect and has never made a mistake. But seriously people, we are talking about a couple pf high school kids who used poor judgement. Every person on this planet has used poor judgement at least a time or two as a teenager. Its really sad that a couple of you are so consumed with some teenagers' lives that you just can't move on. Here's an idea, worry about your own life instead of some kids that you have no connection with. Appeal or no appeal, they made a mistake and paid a price. You don't get to decide when they've paid their dues. Get over yourself. You're making yourself look like a jackass. You know this thread had its purpose when it started but now this is just crazy

Just heard about this.  Coach Welch is a good man and the kids love him.  Prayers going out to the Welch family.

[/quote] Why does someone called WOSgrad feel the need to post on a Vidor/Ozen thread to encourage "stereotypical" BS like this? [/quote] Oh, wait! Are you telling me that only folks who support a particular school can comment on threads involving that particular school?  Apparently that rule is vastly overlooked when a thread about West Orange-Stark appears on the board. The reason for the statement is that the measureable facts do not support the fact that one team is more "disciplined" than the other, just as the facts don't support the fact that one team holds as much of a speed advantage as some think. [/quote] Have to agree with you WOS.  This thread got stupid a long time ago.  This is not why this thread got started.  I cant believe it got this far.  We have always had good competitive games with Ozen.  These slights and innuendos have no place on this website.  Both sides have some fantastic athletes.

and he can throw the ball. 

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="1072647" timestamp="1317659466"] Actually, if you go by two generally accepted measures of discipline, penalties and turnovers, you might have a hard time saying that Vidor is more disciplined.  Through 5 games, Ozen has been flagged 32 times for 271 yards and has turned the ball over 5 times.  Through 5 games, Vidor has been flagged 31 times for 250 yards and has turned the ball over 7 times. As for team speed, Ozen might have a bit more speed, but Vidor is by no means devoid of it.  Quirante has some good speed as does Smallwood and Bolinger (if Coach Mathews lied to David Henry and he does indeed play on Friday).  Even Clark was some surprising speed. So the big edges one way or the other, really don't play out as huge edges in reality. [/quote] You know the sad part is that when Powell is in the backfield as QB he is the fastest they got by a long shot.  The funny thing is that people havent figured that out yet.  Got to love media.  He is the only one on the defensive side that can run somebody down.  Yes it happenin the Ozen game last year also.  Let him get into the open field on offense and see what happens.  ::)

[quote name="RocketMan" post="1072343" timestamp="1317607235"] I guess I am a little confussed.  But on channel 12 the blitz I saw the other QB Powell throw for a TD and run a Lumberton running back down fom behind from the other side of the field to save a TD.  It looked like he was really fast.  I also read in the paper he had a 45 yard TD run himself and he had the most combined yards for the Vidor offense Friday.  The Quirante Kid had two big runs himself .  So both of these boys seem to be a big part of there offense and defense.  I saw the Nederland game last week and the Powell kid was impressive.  He almost brought the pirates back to win the game in Nederland after the halfback went out. How is the player of the week decided?  Is it the coaches of the team that puts them up or is it the newspaper? [/quote] Welcome to the website rocket,  but watch out with post like this your karma will get bad in a hurry.  ;D

[quote name="robanadana" post="1072451" timestamp="1317638741"] Regardless of who the player of last week is, both Powell and Quirante return for the Pirates next season!!!! [/quote] Powell is  a Senior.

[quote name="mytwocents" post="1071814" timestamp="1317571937"] How about a guy who was leading tackler on defense and had the most offensive yards as well. [/quote] I cant wait to see the film of the last game.

Is not Nelson the defending 100 meter champion in your district and Ozen's leading WR? Sounds like Ozen is faster than you're willing to admit.
