Worst playoff loss in Mustang history. Another first. 

Welcome to the new WOS. Not a football power anymore but a school of change and innovation. 

The demeanor of these kids giving 112% is heart breaking. I hate what these kids have been thru. They came up expecting to compete for a championship. Not this mickey mouse nonsense 

This is so hard to watch! This is not Mustang football. Our kids are disorganised on defense and offense. This is a coaching issue. With the athletes that WOS gets year in and year out there is no excuse for this performance. I hope the school board will take action. We should find the best qualified coach we can find to get this program back on track. We handed the keys to the winningest program in the State of Texas to a coach with no head coaching experience. Our kids deserve better .

Let it run

Is LCM home or visitors?

I could've been successful with them. 
The difference is those coaches from the previous era would have this group in the semis. Just like last year when we were picked to play Carthage by the experts at DCTF

Well the Qb grandfather was an all American and his dad was a great athlete hopefully the apple don't fall to far from the tree and the young man can pick up a win

With  CT coaching my money would be on the Mustangs. Slot T would be stopped dead in its tracks. In addition this current WOS team would not be in fourth place limping into the playoffs. Unfortunately this WOS staff will be out coached and out executed. Lack of discipline and untimely penalties will doom the Mustangs. Too many quality kids and families to not have the very best coaching they can get. It’s very tough watching the Mustang football program become just another program. Years of hard work blood sweat and tears to build a juggernaut of a program all being dismantled at an alarming rate. Our kids and community deserve better. We can do better!

I am hoping for a WOS win for the players. I am also hoping for a loss for the WOS coaches. Win or lose it is time for a change at WOS. For the players, fan base, and supporters. WOS in a close one but goes down 35-24.

All right Bears, now starts a new part of the season. Pulling for you to send CH back to Tyler to get ready for basketball.

Hoping everything I’m hearing about the transfer RB is correct and he will be able to help the Bear offense beginning next week. The back up QB done a great job moving the offense via the pass when he came into the game. Having the stud RB back will do nothing but help the QB situation. Wishing the Bears much success in The playoffs! Next Friday in 9-4A will determine who we all face round 1. Kilgore vs CHill & Palestine vs Athens outcomes.
Prayers for a speedy recovery for #16

Okay maybe he does care. But his game management is questionable. 

Someone needs to get in there that cares about the program!

Truer words have never been spoken 

Like I've tried telling you folks who don't watch the Mustangs... we cannot coach a win in a game like this.

ASTROS WIN!!!

Imo it's been the constant flow of youth away from Orange. Kids that can get away to go to college don't come back. And if they do, they don't go back to the neighborhoods they grew up in. They buy homes in LCM, OF, or BC. It's the reason I have a classmate on the school board at OF. And several teach at other districts in OC. Many of the names I see at other schools are kids of WOS alumni. We have former players that coach at other districts in state and out. Graduates becoming HS principals, not back home where they could actually make the difference. But in more affluent areas where you can still get a steak after 9pm and pizza delivered until 3am. Comfort, convenience and job opportunities abound in places like Katy and Spring. So how many of them wanna come back to Orange to witness this small town politics that has taken over our schools? Close to none.
I can only think of one that hopefully still has a return home targeted for his future. 🤞🙏🧢

I think it’s rumor.   If CT wanted Hickman, and thought it was best for the program, or least transitional, there would not have been the turnover there was.
All the longtime coaches would not have left had things been smooth, and going in the right direction.    
 
You don’t lose those guys, and replace them with younger, inexperienced, less quality guys and continue to win on the level they are accustomed too.
But hey, who cares, they have a head coach, and staff that looks like the rest of the community, or so we are suppose to believe.

But to further clarify..  I'm not saying that WOS should have hired a white guy, or they can't win with a black coach.... that's untrue.  
I just think that a lot of good coaches of all colors decided to skip the circus down in WOS.  The public (through their racist actions) empowered the super/admin to make what seems to be a bad hire.  That's my point. 

Here's the thing... they had a hall of fame coach in CT.  There was petition passed around to have him replaced because he was a "racist."  Then he retired.  Many in the community had already expressed a desire that the next HC at WOS be black.  Because, of course, some people wrongly believe that it's not racist to say "yeah, we're gonna hire a black dude this time."  By the time that the applicant list was released, there were only 13 applicants for the position of Head Coach of the winningest football program in Texas.  13.  
Do you want to guess how many people applied for the last opening for a perennial loser like BC? 
But don't take my word for it.

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up How many of those 13 applicants weren't black?  Three or four by my math... and the reason is that EVERYBODY knew that the folks making the decisions in West Orange were going hire a black dude, no matter what... especially in light of the petition that they passed around to get rid of the best thing that ever happened to West Orange Football.
So you really shouldn't be too surprised when the people who follow the sport are delighting in the fact that the community/admin's racist ploy to hire "a coach that looks like us" has blown up in their faces.  
My opinion?  WOS should have hired the best guy for the job (regardless of his/her skin color), but it was gonna be hard to find another Hall of Fame coach... and previously playing for one or even working as an assistant under one won't do the trick, as evidenced by the win/loss records of guys like Toby.  
But you only have yourselves to blame for the mess you find yourselves in now.  Who knows?  Maybe if you hadn't been so overt in your branding CT a racist and then publicizing the fact that y'all didn't care if a coach was any good, just so long as he was black, you'd have gotten some decent candidates.  The public and the admin decided that some things were more important than winning, and they got what they asked for.  
 

I agree that was a pretty ignorant post. But to be expected from that one.
 
We all want what's best for the kids and we all can agree this ain't it and they deserve better.. Pretty cut and dry no matter who's at the helm...

Lol black folk business..wow,is that what you think this is?I believe it’s WOS business!Im not black but I’m all up in it as much as I want to be!Taxpayer and district,city and everything else supporter that resides in the city and always have!Comments like that are why things turn into racism…personally I’m done with the whole mess until change happens ✌️

Cardinals played a great game. Sad to see the decline of the Mustang program.   The talent is there just not the direction.
