Another thought... yes it's scary that I've had 2 in the last 25 mins. This time about the online only ticket sales now at WOS. Right up there in the front of the nice new multi million dollar event center. There is a ticket booth. Really, why, how? This is a perfect example of the disconnect between the admin and the community. I assume my tax dollars could have a bigger impact on all students if spent on new library books. Or a press box bigger than OF visitors stands? What about new tennis courts? Or even just turning the lights on for security during game night. Since they took away all the closest parking to the stadium. And there's not even a sidewalk to get to that area. Hear how crazy that sounds? I'm complaing, sarcasticly, about walking thru the mud. When most students can't get a decent education. -

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 vaguely remember a BBQ spot on 96 I think. Yellow rose?

The education is out of the ADs control. But across all sports we are severely struggling. Since we don't have the education that is up to current standards. It makes it all more important for some of these kids to get an athletic scholarship. They need that as a way out. Unfortunately there are too many stories of kids that didn't get that opportunity and are still here. Even 2 from last years team that didn't make it thru the summer without catching a case. -
Maybe 2018

Actually that was HC DRH and DC CT. I was at that game. Long ride back to Orange on those old busses. But a lil background should also be included. That was the week that most all seniors walked off and quit. Instantly moving up many sophomores, my classmates. So many starting their first varsity game against a formidable powerhouse. Jasper put it on us 41-0. We barely beat BC the next week 24-21. Then a 1 pt loss to Vidor. And losing to PNG and NED in district too. But still went to the 2nd round. The next 2 seasons that same class of 99 led us to the playoffs before losing to La Marque in 97 and Silsbee in 98.

Its possible. That was from the guys in the booth at the end of the game. After Hickman said "we didn't hold up our end on defense at all." -

I know it's getting old. We're all tired of seeing this. I don't think there's one person still wanting to ride the bandwagon. I've been seeing and hearing it every week. The moral is at an all time low. The breaking point is approaching. But the point of no return, is still very far away. -

Thats exactly what it is. Just take the rebuild year and find a way to improve the young talent each week. Bobcats will be back to normal soon. Maybe try to get WOS on the schedule for next year. Could be a big confidence booster for the program. -
