Should have never hired Hickman. He has ruined the WOS dominance.  What a joke.

Needless to say....this coaching staff and superintendent have taken one of the top programs in the state and managed to ruin it in 2 short years. Time for them both to hit the road.

There were at least 2 that did. The majority of the staff saw this coming as well. They knew their days were numbered. If CT is getting pushed out, they didn't have a chance with the new AD. And many moved on to the next one. I think we have 2 that were kept. Not stayed.. kept. Come in and clear house and hire more people with no experience must be a proven method of success across the state. Now is that what Aledo, North Shore, China Spring, College Station, PNG... they all did that too? Well then I'm just another nobody with an opinion. But maybe those programs had success last year and this year? Amazing that they could lose a HOF coach and somehow continue. Or maybe we just don't have the athletes, facilities, budget, tradition, community support. Well they decided to kick most the communities wants and needs to the curb in the name of progress too.
So what's next. Invista just announced they will shut down production next year. Laying off 200-300 employees. This new plant will overlook the stadium and and completely stink with dangerous and noxious chemicals. That's why they wanted the gigantic vip area in the press box with multiple air filtration sytems. And the plant will only need 50 FT employees. Not the 5000 needed to build it. There's no influx of new families moving to WOS. It's been the opposite for 20 years. And now the one thing that we could hang our hat on is no longer there as a positive to entice new students. No more move ins. We had to hire a former player just to get his son on the field. Btw... he had no previous experience either. And I won't take the chance of libel/slander by saying any more about that.
This is not over. There will be more changes come spring to the makeup of the board that allowed this to happen. Mark my words that there are too many that find this entire situation from start to finish unacceptable.

I didn't expect this from you. CB maybe. You know that's not what I'm talking about.
Your guy could be looking like a genius right now. All he had to do was hold the wheel basically. The ship would've taken good care of him. If he would've done what he said the night he got the job handed to him on a silver and blue platter. He'd literally be the king of the town right now. It's not that anyone has a problem with his color or religion or family values. Or anything else. It's the changes made to the program that have negatively affected the student athletes. And their chances to continue their education at a higher level.

The experiment has failed the students

The lack of leadership has ran dry. They need to go ahead and let them all go

H says... Kids fighting hard, getting better each week. Just need to find ways to make the plays when it matters
 
Look in the mirror sir #do your job

Well, that's going to be a problem.  Why?  Because they can't seem to find the 50 defense!     

Didn’t take long for Lefacy to score 34-27

All tied at 27 with 8 min left

Well we all really know lol


You've alerted the ScoreboardBot:

Score Alert: West Orange-Stark(48) @ Liberty(0) Q3

Liberty is 0-11 against WOS from what I have.  Will they get their first win? 
No I don’t think they will. 

With “Chain Gang.”

Wherever CT is lol

I looked again to see how far back we were last held to 6pts or less. Pre HH Era... it was the "called early game" at Nederland 2 years ago. Or as some say the "CT Covid game". Then all the way back to Giddings in 2011... CT's 1st year as HC.
For a District game... all the way back to 2002. PNG held us to 3 pts. But the defense pitched shutout #65 and we won 3-0

Even you understood the point of the post.
Bottom line is last week I talked about the point of no return still being so far away. I don't think so anymore. Alumni jumping the fence, being escorted off the sideline. Fans screaming at coaches after this mess of an ending. H started to grab a player who was talking to his fam... another WOS tradition. Then realized it was a bad idea with all the irate fans around. So he just stood there with arms crossed like I'll wait on u. But as more and more fans started giving him the business. He high tailed it out real quick.
The same HC that could be heard directing profanities to a player on the sideline early in the game. The same coach that didn't seem to eager to go check the injured Mustang on the field. Then after he did finally jog, yes he jogged out there. He stopped to grab a player by the facemask before getting to the injured player being tended to. 
Priorities? Do we have them? What are they? Not teaching the basics on the field? Not teaching life lessons off the field? Kids that have no discipline? Coaches that kids can relate to? Molders and leaders of young men? Who thought it was a good idea? Who thought it would be this bad? Who thinks it can continue?

Hiawatha Hickman showed his true character after Silsbee handed him his butt. In true bad loser fashion he sent WOS to the  field house with 24 seconds left and did not send them to shake Silsbee's hand. Then, several players, having more integrity than their loser coach, returned to the field to shake hands with Silsbee, but, here comes Hickman's Lackeys, to collect them and send them to the field house. What a jerk. I told the school board last year, that this was going to happen. Hickman needs to go and Rickie Harris needs to go with him

They went back out to shake hands because our alumni went down there and made it happen. We show respect when we win and when we lose. The Mustang Way.

Wherever CT is lol

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

The six Silsbee wins are correct. Three regular season wins (1993, 2009, 2022). Three playoff wins (1998, 2018, 2019).
I have seen records where WO-S has 24 wins and others that have 26 wins. I believe it to be 26. 26-3 in regular season, 0-3 in playoffs.

This is a sports site. So the issue we speak of here is not about As and Bs. But Xs and Os
No1 has ever said we are OK with the poor education the district has been facing for years. And believe me that ship sailed long ago. The education issues we face are similar to most minority schools. And if I could change that with one hire I would. 
Which leads me to the AD. One hire can make a huge difference. We've seen that over and over again with each passing week.
The hiring process of our current AD/HC that has been explained here numerous times, is a mirror image of the hiring thru out the district. Only this is a much higher profile situation that has been part of the public knowledge. If you understood that teachers are hired in the same manner, you'd be carrying the signs at the march to the admin building with us. But that won't happen because like you say, where's the outrage?
We don't agree with how he was put into this position without experience. Or any of the subsequent hires brought in under him. Exactly the same as teachers being brought in to fill the vacancies. No need for interviews to pick the best candidate. The super can simply make his choice. And if it doesn't work, like this current FB staff. Nothing changes. They continue to draw a paycheck like it's a government job with no accountability. Don't believe me? Ask anyone that has spent any time in our district. Or any parent that has moved their kids to a neighboring district and seen the major change in the students overall performance. I know too many that were doomed to ISS at WOS. And when changed to a better educational supported district, they thrived. Earning a HS diploma. In turn, WOCCISD has an open enrollment policy with no set of standards. We'll take any and all, with no requirements. Just show up and be counted so we can get our govt check. You know they pay based off attendance and not grades?
This is a microcosm of the overall health of our district. Academics and athletics are in need of total rehabilitation.
Best candidate should always be given opportunity. When that goes away, we are one step from total discrimination. How does one explain this to the kids looking for a way out of this so called dead town? You could've learned about this in school, but we decided to keep our staff even though they continually fail at teaching what you need to know.
My diatribe is over for now. But know that some of us here are quite serious about all this. Not just blowing smoke about wanting a certain race to be the only option to lead our kids. 

I’m a long time WOS supporter and graduated from there in 84.  Seen a lot of Mustang football over the years. If Silsbee does somehow lose this game it won’t be because the Mustangs outplayed them. If will be costly mistakes on the Tigers part. I hate to say that but I’m looking at things realistically. We are a shadow of what we once were.
