  1. As is the case when WOS plays HJ, OF, BC & HF, the game is over before the opening kickoff.  Silsbee is the only 21-3A team whose players honestly believe there's a slim chance to compete with WOS. 

    IMO, WOS beats those teams like a drum year in and year out for two reasons.  First, their non-district schedule is as tough as it gets.  Coach Hooks is probably the only 3A coach in the state whose non-district schedule is that tough.  These are the only games that challenge the Mustangs before the playoffs.  They may get knocked around every now and then in those games, but they come away from those games with alot of wins and a whole lot of confidence.  Second, their swagger beats the inferior teams the day WOS is typed on their schedule.  Teams look at their annual matchup and know there's not a chance to win.  When you don't truly believe you can win, you won't.  Unless it's a playoff team that doesn't have a 21-year losing streak against the Stangs, it should be a crime to talk trash the week before playing WOS.

    Cowboy8....You can't form a complete sentence, yet you expect this to be an insult?  There are plenty of WOS grads that have used football as their way to get to college.  There are also many that have done well just through academics and furthermore, I would guess that most have done better than yourself.  Like others have said before....my WOS education has served me and numerous others well!!

    BC fans received a WOS education tonight as reality was hand delivered, courtesy of Sir Dan Hooks and his followers.  It's okay to "hope" to do things against a proven team, but don't "expect" it.  The days leading up to tonight's annual thumping made BC smack talkers look silly...again.  Just concentrate on what your team does good, that is, beat teams your size.  You've had a good year, and you'll be a scrappy lil opponent in the playoffs, but none of that equates to beating WOS.     
  3. BC's parents really have genuine hope for their lil boys vs the STANGS (and I think its cute), but lil johnny and his buds know deep down in their soul they will get crushed.  As much as the crushing blows will hurt during the game, they will be much relieved when the final second ticks off the clock and the punishment will be over, until the next morning when they wake up and feel like a train hit them.  As they sit at today's pep rally wearing their pretty lil jerseys, the fear will begin to creep in.  As they read signs like, "Stomp the Stangs!" all around their school, it'll be the word "Stangs" that stands out most to them because they know in just a few hours, their parents' hopes will be crushed.  As has been the case for every previous year, BC will be the nail that WOS hammers!
  4. It's illegal, and unless the law changes, that argument wins every time.  Folks argued about the seatbelt law too (including me), but it was still illegal not to wear one.  Drivers and passengers were and are still cited by police for not wearing one.  Like it or not, follow the law and there won't be any consequences. Don't like it?  Move to a place where smoking dope and not wearing seatbelts are legal.  Some folks clearly don't appreciate 2nd chances.
  5. Goat, this is what I was referring to:

    17 local schools make state's worst list

    Thousands of Southeast Texas students will have the opportunity to transfer to new schools after 17 area campuses were included on a statewide list for low performance.

    Almost 500 campuses statewide were on the Public Education Grant List, which the Texas Education Agency has released annually since 1995.

    The list, which was released Tuesday, [b]includes schools in which 50 percent or less of the students pass a TAKS test during any two of the past three years[/b]. The Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills measures student performance in reading, writing, math, social studies and science.

    Schools that have been rated academically unacceptable at least one of the last three years also are included on the list.

    Once a school is on the list, parents can apply to transfer their child to another higher-performing campus in the same district or in another school district. The other district does not necessarily have to accept the student's application.

    This year, nine area school districts had campuses on the list. Several district officials interviewed by The Enterprise acknowledged the shortcomings at their listed schools, but also praised the gains their campuses have shown in the past few years.

    "Our focus continues to be on continuous improvement for each of our schools in the Port Arthur ISD," said Assistant Superintendent Mark Porterie, who spoke with The Enterprise by phone Wednesday.

    [b]Port Arthur ISD had four schools on the list[/b]: DeQueen Elementary, Edison Middle School, [b]Memorial High School [/b] and Wilson Technology Theme School.

    Each campus was placed on the list for slightly different reasons, however, science proved problematic for all four. Math plagued Edison and Memorial. And an academically unacceptable rating caused problems for all the campuses but DeQueen Elementary.

    Porterie said that Memorial High School has since been rated an academically acceptable school and even earned additional recognition for extra academic programs.

    Beaumont ISD had two schools on the list, Austin and King middle schools. Poor performances in math and science placed Austin on the list. Science performance earned King a spot on the list.

    District officials did not return several calls for comment.

    Once a district is notified of the schools on the list, they in turn must notify the parents of students zoned to those schools that they can apply for a transfer either within or outside the district.

    For the districts that find their schools on the list, it's typically a reminder of problems of which they're already aware.
