Coach Thompson must be cringing at the sight of this clueless defense.

Yes sir I agree 

Yep. All thanks to the WO-S superintendent and his "agenda." 

aTmfan06, your good sportsmanship is appreciated. Thanks for always keeping the conversation civil and clean with WO-S fans every year we've played Bellville.  

CS has impressed with with their offensive TEMPO. There is zero hesitation with the QB's first step and decision making. Their confidence shows all over the field which is also a sign of excellent coaching. WO-S can match them physically and athletically. If WO-S looses the in the mistake category, they lose the game. CS plays with smooth execution. They don't beat themselves. I'm glad we're playing them at full strength this time and I know our players want this game. A couple of successful trick plays would go a long way in helping us get the W. I hope Coach Dyer finds a little mad scientist within himself. 

China Spring got us (WO-S) early. On our first drive, they blocked a punt and scooped it up for a quick TD. On the next drive we forced them to punt and dropped the return around the 10 yard line. CS's offense takes it in for another TD. Just like that WO-S dug a 14-0 hole in the 1st quarter. CS's QB was smooth running their offense. Abdullah was a tough RB to stop. Their offense was excellent at running their tempo. It was obvious to me from the first series of the game WO-S was out of sync because of several missing starters especially on offense. CS was an excellent team, but if we would have been 100% healthy I liked our chances to win this game though only by a small margin. We would have no doubt scored more than 22. This year's CS team is loaded with seniors and better than last year. WO-S has to play mustake-free football to win this one.

Cmon, everyone knows its China Grove and there's Texarkana Pleasant Spring up on the border. BTW the Doobies rock, saw them backup Chicago at the Woodlands.

I was at that same concert. Great show.

Somebody before said its about matchups, and because of that, what WOS does on defense, I suspect will limit what CS can do offensively. I predict CS will have less than 3 first downs going into the 3d qtr. The Jasper defense, is loaded with athletes, but they just run up the field, and put themselves out of position, especially in the first half of the CS game.

I would not go so far as to say CS will get less than 3 first downs. Their QB is a play maker who will find creases and make things happen. Granted, WO-S will get the better of him and the CS offense, but that Bowden kid has the feet, smarts, and uptempo decision making to find yardage against any defense. They remind me some of the Cuero team and their QB Rodriguez who WO-S played in 2015. I am certain of this - CS will have a hard time slowing down the WO-S offense.

our defensive ends apparently or so it seems (cause it was an issue all season) have not ever been coaches up on the importance of " staying at home".  Overall, looked clueless to what was going on.  spot on with what you said!  Coaching players up during a game seems non existent.

Anywho......... I don't want to cry to much Crimson & White in a Silver&Blue thread. I totally agree with you though!

I noticed the same thing about the DEs in that game. Over pursuit caused them to get burned too many times.

They need to be sharp next week.  China Spring ain't playing around plus they may get their D1 linebacker, Moe Lester, back after missing Jasper game.

What is his jersey number?

Where and when will this game be played?

What number DLivingston

 

It had to be #44 Carmello Jones. He is all around the football.

BTW, I sure miss griff and Gasilla. Always respected you guys on here.

Checking in. More reading and less posting from me nowadays. Thanks to COVID-19, I've only seen WO-S in person at the the Vidor scrimmage, but thanks to texanlive and hudl I'm following closely. Last week's game against Liberty was sluggish, but much of that has to do with Liberty's style. It was the first time I didn't see improvement from the previous week's game (the bye week came at the right time). The INTs were discouraging, but overall Pop Terrell has increased his passing accuracy and decision making. Still a few too many dropped passes, but we have multiple receiving targets who have all looked good at times throughout the season. Two solid TBs gives us something even the 2016 team did not have. At offensive line, they've had to grow up fast (four new starters). So far, so good, but still room to grow. The defense has pounded every offense we've seen. #44 plays like a Tazmanian Devil - very tough to block. Our core of LBs are smooth. It's the strongest position on the D. Brown and Berry's experience is showing every Friday. Even so, it seems every game the defense has let their guard down for one big play by the opposing offense which has lead to points scored. They should have multiple shut-outs. That can't happen in the playoffs. One big play against a Jasper, Carthage, or any other good opponent could be the difference in the final score. With all of that said, I'm encouraged with everything I've seen and even the areas where we need upgrading are within our grasp to fix. They've played only six games and have shown me plenty to get excited about. And...oh, yeah...it helps to have an excellent kicker. This is the best WO-S team since 2016. Let's see how they finish.

Now you see what I was talking about last week.  You can’t possibly think you can play with A team like Carthage and struggle to beat Liberty.  Again, you have to get a lot better from here on out, which is possible.  But right now, definitely no...

It was not a struggle to beat Liberty. The WO-S turnovers kept the score closer than it should be, but this game was never in doubt. Liberty's game plan is to literally run out the clock for four quarters with that rugby-like offense of theirs. We started slow (2 punts in the 1st quarter), but winning against Liberty always looks ugly because of their style. WO-S has a bye week to sharpen their game, heal up some bruises, one final district contest, then the playoffs. Anyway, I know the coaching staff is not thinking about Carthage. Too much football to be played before that "if and when" match up occurs.

WOS needs to tighten up on their penalties and miscues are Silsbee could keep it close and sneak out a win.Silsbee is the type of team you don't want to keep giving them a chance to beat you.Had HJ not imploded with costly turnovers and miscues they were playing WOS pretty good. 

HJ is improved, but this was no contest. HJ had one big offensive play in the 1st quarter that set up their only TD. Other than that, WO-S dominated. 47 unanswered points. We also left more points on the field because of penalties, dropped passes, and the TO in the 1st Q, but this game was never in question even looking at the 7-7 halftime score.

Cuero's Travis Reeve to New Caney 

Cuero was terrible last season. They may have a talent drought there, so Reeves got out now with a good name before lean seasons begin to pile up. 

jkbtjc53, did you mean to say 2020 or 2021?

It was hard not to tear up watching that video. What an impact he had on Newton.

Just saw a replay, too close to be sure but sure looked like a missed call......

The missed call was the ref not flagging the defender for a facemask penalty. It happened before the ball carrier lost control of the ball. Silsbee would have kept possession.

He may have defeated PG by himself, but he didn’t really go off against silsbee.

Correct. I watched both games. Silsbee was a tougher opponent for Cuero than PG was. I still say if  Silsbee would have play selected more runs to the outside and fewer between the tackles, they had a legitimate chance to win against Cuero. PG was not going to win their game. This year, go win the dang thing! Silsbee, you have what it takes to win this.

Really concerned about all the Tiger injuries on defense. Hope it doesn't catch up with us eventually.

Last year Cuero had a kid that won the state title almost all by himself against Pleasant Groove. Hopefully Wimberley doesn't have anyone like that on offense.

They don't. There is no one in 4A close to Whittington's talent this year.

I think Taylor and Martin will get going next game. Wimberly is soild but I dont see them being a solid as Cuero last year. 

No doubt about that. Wimberley has the big play passing potential that Cuero didn't have, but Wimberley does NOT have as good a defense nor a superstar do everything player like Whittington (but no one does this season). Silsbee looks to be peaking now even with a few injured players. Silsbee...this is your chance. Many great teams and programs never get this far. It's so hard to get here. Make the most of it. You can beat Wimberley. You won't see a defense equal to WO-S the rest of the way. WO-S fans will be rooting for you. I'll be sitting on your side Friday night. Go out there and take it.

It wasn't 5 TD's, it was 4 TD's and 2 field goals and one very exciting and unusual looking 2 point conversion to tie the game with only a few minutes left.

It was a strange 4th quarter.  You kind of had to be there. WOS seemed to be in control with a 28 - 17 lead going into the 4th and then the wheels just came off.  Big plays, unlikely plays, a 48 yard field goal, a fake punt that shouldn't have worked, a lateral option pass that shouldn't have worked.  A Tiger defense that had been porous all night suddenly stiffened into a brick wall.  It was just one of those things.   Fate took a hand.

 

Good summary. I agree. Everything that had to go their way DID go their way in the 4th quarter. Amazing chain of events. It was the most improbable way to win, but it happened.

They are folks that still want CT gone. I think there should be changes to WOS offense style of play to best fit the kids. But other than that I’d leave it alone

The offensive style is fine. The in-game decisions and play calling needs improvement. 

The 48 yd FG, the fake punt, and the WR pass...they converted all three. If any one of those fails, WOS wins. On the fake punt, they shifted two WRs to the strong side, we moved over to cover, and they threw to the other side where the player was uncovered. On the WR pass, the receiver was covered well, but made a good catch in traffic. They made the plays they HAD to make. All of them. The 48 yarder was the biggest play of the game. I don't know if any team has ever  scored 18 points on WOS in the 4th Q. Congratulations Silsbee.
