What a joke? Coach Moody obviously doesn't think his kids could compete. I bet they don't feel that way. I bet this would be a different story if the Bears were losing the revenue. As a West Orange-Cove taxpayer I think we should sue the Bears for the lost of revenue. He basically broke a contract. I think maybe we should rethink even playing LC-M as long as this clown is the coach. If the Mustangs could be ready after ACTUALLY PLAYING last week, how come LC-M could not with a bye week and the WHOLE offseason to prepare for us? I have a lot of respect for the Bears but come on get a coach who actually BELIEVES in his players?

Thanks Piratefan, my kids play on WO-S Blue and I tell you we were impessed with the Vidor team. They have good size and play hard. Best offensive execution we have seen in our scrimmages so far. The Pirates are going to give the teams that play them a war each week. They are well coached also.

W.O.-S. Blue looks decent. We'll let our opponents figure out if we're any good or not. We've been good in scrimmages so far but a lot of work to do.

Blue Teams rocks..we played well against Mauriceville in scrimmage..we will get even better at executing over the next couple of weeks. From what I've seen of the White team they will have no problems competiting

Jr79...please email me and i will send you the schedule that another kind gentleman on this site sent me..

Thanks and GOOOOO Stallions! ...Anyone have the Bobcats 7th grade schedule?

Tough Room, I Love It! My twins just started playing in junior level STJFL for W.O.-S, wish those folks where as much fun as ya'll. Good luck to everybody. One thing for sure, in about 8 or 9 weeks everyone will know where they stand.

I agree totally that umpiring is not an easy job and certainly mostly a thankless job. I also agree a coach should not let any situation reach the point where he should/would be ejected from a game. That being said a coach also has a responsibility to protect and "go to bat for his kids". A coach should have a right to question an umpire's call without an umpire ejecting him as long as he is civil. I questioned an umpire's call on a strike this season when the ball was called a strike over the kids head with the game on the line. I merely asked the ump how could he call the pitch a strike and got threatened with an ejection. The kids can't question the call, they just go back to the dugout shaking their heads and feeling that it doesn't matter how good they are, just that the game was taken away from them. If a kid feels wronged and doesn't have someone willing to stick up for him this is just as bad an example as a coach being tossed. Every umpire should strive to get the call right..even if it means changing their initial ruling. Are umpires perfect, no few of us are. There will be mistakes, it is an extremely difficult job and thankfully they are willing to subject themselves to the abuse they do have to take. However, every coach should have the right to question a call but any coach crossing the line into lunacy should be suspended for a few games.

Who Won?

Really proud of the way Orange 2 played Vidor 1 last night...Vidor really doesn't not have an easy out in the lineup and their pitcher was outstanding. Kudos to our two pitchers last night in Blagburn and Hale. They fought tooth and nail. Have not seen TC but Vidor is well coached and definately have a chance to go all the way. However, I say GO BIG ORANGE. Everyone have fun and enjoy these incredible kids. One more thing, let me say that 90% of these kids could play select ball so I dont agree about watering down of talent base. IN fact, some of these teams are better than select teams I have seen.

Great game tonight as Orange 2 defeated Twin County I think the final was 19-10. Twin County really fought back hard. I have a lot of respect for their kids. Everyone kinda forgot about us (Orange 2) but we have a lot of great kids and they play their hearts out. Good luck Orange All-Stars! The field is in great shape and the host are great.
