Just FYI.....
 
Iowa Park was #1 in the state at that time, Huffman was ranked #2.
 
Everything Walldrill says is correct in his earlier post about match ups. You (Kj dad) are also correct that any given team can be beat at any given time. Teams that are able to control their own path in the playoffs absolutely look for the best route. Those teams that are not able to control their destiny just take what's thrown at them and do the best they can. (WOS state run a few years ago is a prime example of that and perhaps another reason the run was so impressive). Timing, match ups, coin flips and others most definitely play a huge part in how the playoffs shape up. To say that they don't is just not being willing to have an open discussion while removing your emotions. For example, show me a coach who has made deep playoff runs and I'll show you someone who has been on both sides of the coin flip, good and bad. It's one of the things that makes the game "beautifully cruel". 
 
With all that being said I'd like to personally wish all the local playoff teams good luck and hope they each have successful journeys all the way to state.

Congrats! That's a very nice honor. Those are great tournaments, good competition, and a lot of fun. We did the exact same thing a few years ago in Arizona, really enjoyed the experience. Those fields are gorgeous!

Stelly has no allegiance to any one school, he covers BC, WOS, LCM, and OF with a professional enthusiasm that few others can match. He is far from the standard "Rah Rah Homer" that most high school radio guys turn into. He covers several schools and does a great job doing it.

Laughable! 
 
Gary Stelly is easily the best play by play announcer covering Southeast Texas sports.
Period.

Before you rush to judgement on Dubois it's possible that school board policy or some other rules may have come into play here. I have only past transgressions to base this on so I could be completely off base as well, I'm just offering up another possible explanation. I know a couple of times there were students that most folks were certain that they would be kicked off a particular team or group that only got smaller suspensions due to school rules. Again I may be wrong but I don't think it's quite so easy to completely dismiss an individual from a team/group.
 
Just an observation, don't shoot the messenger.

Well after seeing the social media trash you can forget about WOS pulling any starters. This will be like the scene from "Remember The Titans" when the coach said "run it up Herman, leave no doubt!" 
 
Truly embarrassing on every level. Lessons will be learned, some harder than others.

Classic response right here. "Over hyped" would be Tim Tebow in baseball, Johnny Manziel in anything, and the last 2 George Clooney movies. Having 2 very proud Cardinal fans engaging in some banter on a message board would hardly qualify as being overhyped. Nobody, and I mean nobody, outside of BC even remotely gives the Cards a chance in this game and we have 9 pages on this thread to prove it. WOS is the heaviest of favorites and with good reason. Let those "underdog" fans take up for their team, it's what makes sports great.
