WOS1986

All the talk about WO-S finding a QB needs to take a rest. Please. The sophomore QB we have has tracked nicely upward with his play at every level since 7th grade. This was his second start, in wet and sloppy field conditions, with an all time great Newton team in front of him. That should stop being the measuring stick for this kid. He is right where he needs to be. Have patience and show some better reasoning here, please. He will be fine. I expect improvement from him throughout the season. So should you. Watch and see.  

The Qb that started the first game is now on defense. He came in last night to replace the 10th grader. The field was in horrible condition to throw a ball or run a route. I think some folks are overreacting. Both Qb combined a 6 and 24 passing for the night. I think they should have just shoved the ball down Newton throat running the ball and limited throwing the ball. The score would have been a lot closer 

My main point is yes, WOS May be a little down at the moment but the season is still early. What some are forgetting is just how dang good Newton is this year. I would be willing to bet that is the last time Newton scores 21 points all year. This Newton team is on par with 2016 WOS....just a once in a generation type team....an L hurts but it wasn’t like WOS was beat by an inferior team. Hell, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Newton could run rough shot through 4A also! As I always do, I’ll be rooting for the Eagles to bring some more hardware back to SETX (ok, extreme North SETX) lol.

A lot of puzzle pieces will need to come together in order for this to happen.. secondary, QB, and receiver play needs some work.

How many returning starters on offense and defense do the Stangs have coming back?

It depends on how the old format would’ve played out. Before the split they took the top 4 teams from the district to the playoffs then the top 2 enrollment wise went to D1 and the other 2 went DII (if I remember correctly). So it wasn’t always fair to some of the schools that were playing up in D1 with a very low enrollment. It was just more mixed up. I liked it a lot better. To tell you the truth I wish 4a was not split at all. Let’em play. Schools like WOS, Gilmer, Carthage, and Argyle can play with anybody even with low enrollments. I think this is the only class in the state where enrollment doesn’t play a major roll to who wins. Carthage and WOS are the most successful programs over the last 3 years, and they are both very low on enrollment. I think Carthage will be the smallest school in D1 this coming year. Play in a district with Henderson and Kilgore where those towns have populations ~13,000 and enrollments of 950 and 1120. Little ol’ Carthage with a population of under 7k gives them all the want. WOS is the same way.

GOD we coming in front of you to day to put your hands on WOSGRAD and heal him bring him peace in his life and the people around him we Know you can heal people that have illness, money problems and all of him we pray that He will have his transplant sooner than later or that he don't have to have one because you heal him in your name we pray Amen

No, thankfully I have not required the services of MD Anderson.
I really appreciate the well wishes and prayers and while I have to deal with it I don't swell on it.  As you and ATTITUDE have demonstrated, I am not alone on this site that has or is having to deal with serious (some even more serious than mine) health issues.  I know of many here who have dealt with serious health issues and while mine to me is life or death to me, it is no more than yours or theirs are to you or them.  And the rest, even while they may not have issues with health, they have issues that are in their lives, very serious to them.
So you all are held in my prayers that you are provided the strength to deal with whatever obstacles life throws at you.

I can't wait to come and watch Mustangs this Fall 2018! I am so happy that now they are full schedule with 10 games after decide to play against Newton. What a relief! Boys deserve to play full 10 games instead 9! 

All of WOS’s facilities are 20 years outdated. But I think coach T likes it like that, keeps the hard work mentality going.

Loved it

One of the best post I've read. What an inspirational story. Thanks for sharing!

This is awesome. 

Awesome post Terrell! Told you nothing to worry about brother! Lol. It was an honor to have you as my teammate and friend. You also made another great decision...your a Cougar now...go Coogs!!! I remeber how coach T had a soft spot for you, not because you had a hearing impairment, but were a monster at football!! No one was upset you left bud. I bet the infrastructure at the new school helped you get where you are now. Nothing against WOS, but I don’t believe we had the resources you needed with your situation. Notice I don’t call it a “disability”, it’s not. With your story and where you are now, I don’t see anything that held you back! Was it a harder road? Probably. Does that make you better for how hard you worked? Absolutely!! Just like another poster said, God doesn’t make mistakes, he put you where you are for a reason and that reason is to teach and mentor others that have the same daily situations you did! Anyways, keep posting brother!! And thanks for reminding me about the ‘97 LaMarque game!!! I remeber I pinned them deep on the kickoff.....next play, Goynes was past the secondary before we knew he had the damn ball!!! I just got over that loss about 2 weeks ago, now It will take another 20 years....lol, just kidding!!

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!!!

I’m not crowning them Kings of 4A . But to say there are “dozens” of 4A schools with the talent Newton has your wrong. 

Honestly, I wish that WOS and Netwon go ahead play each other in week 3. Past is past. Move on and let boys play rather limit games. Also, it does not matter or about losing. It will help them both to success and improvement in area before the district and playoff. 
Coaches need realize that. Again, I am not coach. 

Again, thanks all and really appreciate so I will do my best to post since most of you encourage me. I feel confident now. I will do my best to post when I can cause I am super busy. Haha
Again many thank!

Terrell that was a great post my brother. I can say first hand it was a honor playing the game we both love together. You inspired me as well as others in your determination to be the best at everything you did. You sure are bringing back some old memories lol .... Glad your doing well and would love to meet up one day soon so we can catch up and I can meet your family. Once you bleed blue and silver no matter where you end up you will always bleed blue and silver ....
