I remember hearing about that Daingerfield team. They were really good. I would have to say they are one the states all time best. Purely from a statistical stand point in class 3A. I don't really understand why everyone wants to compare teams from different classifications. It does not make sense. Yeah some 3A teams could romp on some 4A teams, but the fact is the bigger classifications are bigger because they have a bigger pool of people to pull from. We should be doing this by classification.

I think Coldspring could be considered for this. They lost Zavius Johnson to graduation, but they still have the other big kid who ran very well last year. I cannot remember his name he also played middle linebacker. I think with a full offseason under Coach Barbay and a nice group of returners the Trojans should do very well. The J.V. team also did very good last season winning the district I believe and they have some real talent. I think Coldspring could really surprise some people and go further than bi-district in the playoffs.

I would have to say the Coldspring Trojan teams of the 90's had a pretty good run. In 92 we ran into a South Lake Carrol team that should have been in 4A or higher in the State Title game. Then in 97 we played Sealy in the semi finals a game we should have won. Sealy at the time was in the midst of winning 4 strait 3A titles. We also had some very deep runs into the playoffs in between those years. Many district titles over that time frame as well.

How come no one ever talks about Coldspring on here. They used to run this district until about 2000 when we hit some hard times. I think they are on their way back with Coach Barbay leading the way. He will bring back that discipline that has been lacking for a few years along with the Trojan tradition that we once enjoyed where we won the district for ten straight years with big scores over everyone and deep playoff runs. I think Coldspring really has a good chance to win this district over Cleveland if they play the way they should under Barbay. I'm not a big fan of that type of offense, but Coach Barbay knows the ins and outs of it as it is the offense he learned under his Dad at Newton as a player and later as a Coach. I think Coldspring has really good shot at making the playoffs and make a good run. They played WO-S very tough in the first half of the bi-district game last year before they made some mental errors in the second half and WO-S took advantage. The J.V. team also had a very successful season last year. I believe they won the district. So make no mistake Coldspring is re-emerging, and I'm sure they have had a very successful offseason workout.

I love those quote things you do that is very funny. Also the idiotic thing was very entertaining. I never said one thing bad about WO-S. I just said that since they dropped down to 3a they were a much better team and have done more things in the playoffs. I agree WO-S has done some phenomenal things throughout their history. I just can't stand the arrogance that you guys have sometimes and the things that I have read the last couple of days. You have a tremendous Coach in Coach Hooks. I think a little humbleness would serve you well. I didn't like the post saying that #20 was good wish he were on a good team. That is a punch in the face to the kids who have practiced and played very hard this year. If not for the silly fumbles in the second half this game could have been much different. That is that old clique coulda, shoulda, woulda though. So I want hang my hat on that. I wish them good luck next week against Giddings.

#20 was on a good team this year. They had some troubles with getting down the offense and they had problems with turnovers late in the year. Coldspring is back on it's upward swing of going to the playoffs every year and it will not be long before they are doing what the teams did in the 90's going very deep into the playoffs. Nothing bad against WO-S but you guys had not done much until the last few years when you dropped down from 4a. Coldspring has a few years of down teams. Coldspring used to be a feared team in East Texas in 3a and with Coach Barbay their to bring back some of the traditions I think you will see a rise again to dominance within the district and deep into the playoffs.

Fumbles have just tormented my Trojans this season. This will be something that Coach Barbay will have address in the offseason. I know the Trojans will be good again next year with Coach Barbay having a full off-season to put his whole program together. Four fumbles in the second half just will not do it. Good luck to WO-S next week against Giddings you guys have a really good football team.

I understand that W-OS is very talented, but Coldspring also has some very good talent and should have won a few more games then they did this year. I think the Stangs at this point were looking a little ahead to next week against Giddings. Is this game on radio if anyone knows please let me know which station so I can try to listen on-line.
