I haven't and won't make a prediction on the game. I just want WOS to win by 1. Regardless of what happened in middle school. 

This means he's back?I gave him till the silsbee game to make a return,maybe I was wrong but heck  I hope he's back...lol 

Hello my Setx Friends....I'm doing Great, I just wanted to say Hello too you'll.....Logging back off

Yes Gilmer has scored a lot but they've given up a lot on defense too.
But all WO-S players, coaches and supporters are only interested in BC this week.

I could careless what the score is. I hope WOS wins by 1. If we get the shutout then its just icing on the cake. A win is a win.

Going to take a shot at giving an opinion on this one without sarcasm or "homer" viewpoint so here goes...
 
It cannot be disputed that the premiere football program in this part of the state resides in West Orange, all the numbers prove that point emphatically. Year in and year out they are the benchmark that all others, including larger class schools, are measured against. This particular group has been special for quite sometime and they continue to impress even the toughest skeptics. Besides the fact they are physically talented this group at WOS has been running basically the same overall system since they began playing ball and that fact cannot be overstated. The familiarity they possess with the offense, defense, and coaching style is amazing, it's all they have ever known and very few schools can even attempt to compare with that fact. With that being said it's not difficult to make a case for the Mustangs running the table this season and easily handling the Cardinals on Friday night. Only problem with that statement is that this is a high school game and anything can happen. I witnessed a BC vs WOS game in the early 90's where BC came out amped up, scored on the opening drive and thought "this might be the year we win!" and then watched WOS reel of 55 unanswered points. All the opening score did was "kick a sleeping dog and made him mad". On that note I know many BC fans cringed when they saw some of the social media stuff that got started last week and with good reason. Most would have rather not been so public about the comments aimed at WOS and preferred that talk stay in the locker room, no reason to "poke the bear" so to speak when the element of surprise may have been an advantage. Either way what's done is done. 
 
There are 2 potential scenarios that could take place....
 
1. WOS dominates from start to finish like most are predicting. The speed advantage and experience in big games goes without saying, WOS is loaded with playmakers and a fantastic leader/QB along with a potentially historic defense. All signs point to this happening.
 
2.BC figures out a way to move the chains and keep the clock running which in turn keeps the potent WOS offense off of the field. Many on this board have made comments about one dimensional offenses not doing well against WOS and that's a true statement for the most part. I may be wrong but it seems like in the past several seasons Orangefield has been able to hang around with WOS in a few games doing exactly what BC hopes to do. If BC manages to somehow control the clock for a while and can get a big play from either the defense or special teams this game could be closer than many predict. Will that happen, we won't know until Friday night. BC does have a few things going for them and won't be showing up empty handed. Up front they have some size and experience which is a plus as long as they can play 4 quarters. BC does have a few guys that can run with almost anybody on the field and they are capable of scoring at any time. BC will have to limit the 3 and outs and turnovers to have a legitimate shot of keeping WOS anywhere close but it can be done. 
 
I personally look forward to the game and hope it lives up to the hype. One would think WOS would like to play a game where they at least get challenged and need to play their starters for more than 2 or 3 quarters, the blowouts don't help them in their quest for another title. Hopefully everybody plays well, comes out injury free, and both teams get better as they pursue the playoffs.
 
Good luck to both teams!

Wait til the BC fans get warmed up on Monday thru Wednesday, might hit 20 pages before Friday's humbling. 

We don't need a blowout. Just need to win by 1. 

Quick fact, the Mustangs have more shutouts in school history (101) than losses (92).

FG WOS 9-0

I don't know why either. LCM would be a lot better in a spread or pistol formation. We still would not have won the game but I honestly think we would have kept our defense off the field more. If you remember our "Bojo" years with Coach Moody he ran the wing t and it didn't work then. I'd rather be back in the wishbone when I played there then run this current offense. 

I agree with you.  Slot-t or wing-t doesn't bold well against this team. I think lc-m is a very talented team but they are running the wrong offense. They have very gud kids at the skill position. Can't understand why crouch want spread it out and then from the formation run it or better yet swing the ball out to ur backs.making urself one dimensional handy caps a team like that. 

FG WOS 9-0

Every game is a test that shouldn't be overlooked

Freshman tied 14-14 and WO-S JV won 18-0

Somebody called?
I guess since this one has gotten off of track I guess it is time to bring this to a close.  It seems that I am having to do this quite often.
But before doing so, 14.2 would be well served to heed a tweet that Coach Riordan himself just made:

Good evening, folks!

Why cant a thread just stay with the topic? WHY does it always end up about Crosby? As for Cornel, his results speak for themselves. Most that have never won, or have never wet a jock  will never understand. Football isnt for everyone, and you can bet Palestine wasn't hungry enough or ready for what coach had for sale. 

We have two new coaches on the WO-S staff this year. One is from a local setx school. Both of them have said that if their former schools ran practices the way WO-S does, half the team would quit. That's what I meant by Palestine being "soft". WO-S did not develop a reputation for being a very physical team by coincidence. We play the way we practice. 

I guess haters are always gonna hate no matter what.....

Not sure exactely the year but in the mid 90s LCM went something like 3 rounds deep in playoffs and I'm pretty sure they best WO-S that year. Believe it was 95 or 96

Think they'll be tougher than Kennedale?

The person that said WOS wont be challenged until state was aTmfan06, locations has Bellville on profile.  I can promise true WOS fans know all the challenges that lie ahead.  SETX may think ahead but the ones that really matter ( WOS coaches and players) don't.
