Not over yet but good season mustangs,4-5 weeks after most were done u are finally down to your last inning,been a fun ride!!!!!

We have faith in all of our guys. 

Don't worry about it being just one game.I know we have lost the first game in a couple of cases but when we had to win the next one we did.Well,just think of this one as the next one.

I was told they had him up last Saturday and sitting in a chair.
Those of us who have been around W.T. for the last few years and have seen him go on when just walking onto the field with oxygen was a challenge while keeping a wonderful attitude through all of his challenges.
Winning the state championship would have been great last year but that did not happen, God gave him something greater, he game him new lungs and a continuation of life. 
For all of us Newton football fans, We got something greater than a state championship.
God bless you  W.T.

Wow that's all I can say! It was a great game played by the entire team. I like to give a special shoutout to my son (KJ) he went 3-3 Hr. Also JD3 for pitching a gem with 14ks. Congrats to the WOS Basball Team. #OnToThe4thRound #Family #112%

end of 5
 
10-2 WO-S

Oh you don't bash Coach Thompson. Son, you do it at every turn.  Heck, you didn't want him as head coach simply because he is one who will coach the team, not let the community coach it.  So in turn, you have accused him of holding mail of prospective recruits, favoring another quarterback over his starting quarterback, throwing guys off of the team for no reason and finally, blocking the transfer of this young man.
 
And speaking of quarterbacks, if he is so hot to block hot prospects playing somewhere, why did he not block the transfer of his STARTING quarterback, Dillon Sterling-Cole, who has received I believe at last count 11 D-1 offers.
 
Man, just admit it!  You don't like Coach Thompson and you won't stop this campaign of slander until he retires (because against you most fervent wishes, he is not going to be fired).

For the record, Gary and KOGT did cover this game. As soon as he learned BC was a rain out he hustled over to Cover WOS. Can't remember what inning he got there but big props to Gary. He could've gone home and had a nice evening at home. Instead he hustles over to Barbers Hill to cover the Mustangs. Thanks Gary!

Weather and pitching matchups in the final run for playoffs should be critical. Who do you feel will close it out and make the the playoffs?

Love Trey B. Wish the best of Luck...
In Mustang country always #NextManUp

Wos losing several lineman. If we can reload the lines we should be in great shape since that was our key to success this year.

Some WO-S fans will tell you their best team ever was the '85 team (myself included), which did not win a state title. They lost to Yates, who eventually won it all. 

NDN charter buses and style have nothing to do with why we lost. Coach T is a blue collar guy who coaches a blue collar team. The charter buses were offered. I can assure you style is not his concern. Hard work is.

Just a thought...
 
This won't apply to everyone here, but to many it will.
 
When you stop and think about it, isn't it interesting how many of us grown men get worked up over our hometown high school football team? Especially when we get on these message boards and go back and fourth about specific games, rivalries, etc. Our football teams are so woven into our communities, families, and traditions. But, when you get down to the bare bones of it all, we're pouring our blood, sweat, and tears into a contest of 15, 16, and 17 year old kids. I try to remember this as best I can when mistakes are made on the field, games are lost, and injuries occur.
 
What can we say? We're just breathing in the highs and lows of the game we love most...played out by teenage boys.
 
Old men acting like young men...and that's OK. It's who we are.

I have seen some fans giving credit to the other team but still those who won't. That's a shame these were two very good teams with opposite strengths. The WOS defense came out in the first half and did just what it does shut the opponents offense down. The WOS offense did more in that half than anyone would have expected. In the second half Gilmers got the early momentum and never looked back. WOS had too many players going both ways and tired out. A dropped pass on a series that could have got them a little momentum and the Mustangs never got a better chance. I don't buy that either team played their worst half or any of that other bs. Those bad half a were largely caused by the other team. The better team that day won, maybe another game would have another outcome maybe not. WOS big problem in overcoming Gilmer in any match up with those two may have primarily been using several players both ways. I have felt that way about my Tigers quite often.

You know I've read all of your arguing with several posters on here and have stayed out of it, keeping my opinions to myself. However, I do think you enjoy making statements to deliberately provoke some people.  Its almost like you enjoy creating hate and discontent on here. 

Ehhh hem .. MAJOR congrats to the 2014 Gilmer football team for winning state vs a very talented WO-S team.

WO-S, keep grinding, pull it together, and get back there next year. The better team won. ... End of story... Period!

This guy gets it, WOS had a good first half and Gilmer had a monster 2nd half. Congrats Intergrity on your teams victory. As a Mustang fan it stung to see our guys build a lead only to have it disappear, but you guys played harder and had few mistakes. They earned it, no doubt.

IMO, two plays that hurt was the fumble into the endzone and the drop fourth down pass. When your playing and your dead tired in the end of the third quarter and in the fourth quarter there usually is a play, that one play that will light a fire in a team, get that adrenaline flowing again. I think if that fourth down pass would have been cought that would have been the play.

hats off to all the kids from gilmer 2014 STATE CHAMPS

Gilmer played worse in the first half than I have seen them play all year! Thank goodness they got their heads on straight and played BUCKEYE football in the second half!

whatever dude, fact is they didn't. Fact is wos had a terrible second half and Gilmer didn't. Fact is Gilmer overall was the better team and brought home the trophy. Fact is these type comments from you are pointless.

Well I just got back to Orange Saturday night. (wife drug me off after the WOS game to finish up Christmas shopping up there), then we stopped at her sisters house outside Waxahatchie.  Tried to read all the comments on the game from my phone but held off commenting until I could get to a computer. First off I want to congratulate Gilmer.  Yall played like a true champion in the 2nd half to overcome the points you were down. You overall were the better team Friday and it showed. Enjoy the off season as state champions. I also want to congratulate the WOS Mustangs, What a great ride its been. many, many memories you have given to the community and we all are very proud of you.   Now to address some things, someone, don't remember who, stated in an earlier post, that WOS better be glad that Gilmer didn't play the 1st half the way they played the 2nd half, well that can be turned around also and one could say that Gilmer should be glad WOS didn't play the 2nd half like they played the 1st.  Those kind of statements are pointless. the fact remains neither team played their best for 4 full quarters.  I think WOS stunned Gilmer somewhat in the first half then Gilmer made some great adjustments in the second half that WOS couldn't counter.  WOS "controlled" the 1st half while Gilmer "dominated" the 2nd.   Bear Bryant always said that nearly every game no matter if it was a 1 point margin of victory or 50, the outcome could be traced back to 4 or 5 plays. This statement was never more true than this game.  I think 4 plays turned the tide in Gilmers favor.

Play #1;  DT's return for a TD called back at the end of the 1st half.  I'm not going to get into whether it was a valid call or not, but I will say I saw much worse by both side during the game that didn't get called. But if that score was allowed to stand then WOS goes into the half with a 32-7 lead and tons of momentum. 

Play #2:  The turnover that occurred on the opening drive of the 2nd half,  WOS was driving the ball and had moved into Gilmers side of the field.  If WOS could get a score on that drive then the tempo would have been set for a completely different 2nd half.  Especially if DT's TD had been allowed from earlier.  Would have been looking at a possible 39-7 WOS lead.

Play #3:  The fumble into our end zone that Gilmer recovered for a gimme TD. When you play teams like Gilmer you cannot allow that to happen.

Play #4:  The dropped pass on 4th and 9. This came on the same series after the long pass that got WOS out of their own end of the field.  Again, had that reception been made, maybe WOS could have scored and slowed down the momentum Gilmer had built up. 

I think had at least 2 of these 4 plays had gone in WOS favor the outcome may have been different, but not completly saying WOS would have won, just that things may have played out differently.  Now, I am not taking anything away from the Buckeyes, they made the plays when they had too and WOS didn't., WOS also looked very tired in the 4th quarter which is something that very rarely ever happens.   After reading talk on various forums all week and hearing how basically we shouldn't even be on the same field with Gilmer, how they would score 60-70 on WOS I think they showed that Gilmer was beatable,, but great teams overcome adversity and with some help from WOS thats exactly what they did.  Great season though WOS, you got farther than all but one team in your class! Hold your heads high, the area is proud of you all!!!

One last question...someone on an earlier post said something about the Gilmer coach. Something about his post game comments, I asked on that thread but didn't get a complete answer.  What did he say in those comments? I know someone on here has to know???
