I see a 1-2 predistrict...

Well... neither of those plays helped the cause. We really blew that game. I remember Rodney's catch like it was yesterday. The DB tried to make a play on the ball on their sideline, but he missed it and Rodney caught it and was all alone. I was so sure he was going to score that I had turned and raised my helmet to the crowd. I couldn't believe it when I turned around and he had been caught. He was literally all by himself. I still don't know where the kid who caght him came from. I was sent in at guard on the goal line. First play we jump offsides, then do it again on the next play (neither were me :wink: ). After that, it was all over. Another missed opportunity in that game was when Harold Green (the fastest 200 meter hurdle guy in the state), broke down the sideline and pulls a hammy and gets caught from behind. We didn't score that time either.

Coop, take Sports Extra for example. The station doesn't make money off of the players and coaches that are on your program. BUT, they make a ton of money off of local and non local advertisers who pay a ton of money to have their ads played during the broadcast because they know there will be a large local viewing. Of course, this is how the business makes it's money, but they are using local sports because it makes them money. The pay back for the individuals on the program is publicity. I tend to agree with GS, they do not have a monetary responsibility to give back to the schools, but I feel they DO have a moral responsibility to do what they can in certain situations.

kosmosis... by making statements that contain "they are" or "would be" it insinuates that you have arrived at your decision by analyzing some kind of info. I guess the idea that we would be 7-3 just popped into your head and there was no information or games witnessed that would draw you to that conclusion, innate knowledge I think they call it... sorry man. We (as in WO-S fans) are sorry we ruffled your tail feathers. We will be sure as to not respond in any manner other than a positive one about any of your posts in the future. Since you are so objective about how good your team is, I (we) thought you would have the same objectivity towards a rebuttle to one of your posts. :wink:

1983... WO-S vs PNG We had just taken the lead at the end of the third quarter. PNG gets the ball and has one of those long consuming drives down the field (I'm playing DE for WO-S). Anyway, they get down to our 5 w/ about 4 minutes left in the game. They have a 4th and 3 situation. Coach T sends our defensive play in and tells me specifically to watch for the reverse; I can still hear him... "stay at home". Well, they run the toss to the weak side (they had been doing it the whole drive and we couldn't stop it). So... thinking I recognized it prior to the play because I was watching the tailbacks eyes, I get a good jump off the snap and think I have the play stopped. I'll be damned if the tailback doesn't pitch the ball to the receiver coming around the back side and me thinking SON OF A B***H, MOTHER F****R, IT 'S A DA*N REVERSE... I never ran so hard in my life trying to catch that kid, but it was all for not... he scored and we lost.

Well... I can take critiqueing. If you experts say WO-S was a 7-3 team please back that analogy with a reason for your conclusion. If we would have had 3 losses in the regular season, who would they have been to? Keep in mind, you can't figure the games as if we would not have had someone playing QB. If we didn't have Beasley, we would have had someone else back there. Either Earl Thomas or Andre Bevil, who was a much more accomplished passer than Beasley. So let us know which games we would not have won and why. Also, in those games, let us know what Beasley did for us that another person, playing that position, wouldn't. While your at it, go ahead and give us what BC's record would have been without Dishon. We all know what happened the one game they played without him. Please give us some insight on what would have happened in the rest. Not trying to ruffle feathers, but I think Dishon meant waaaaay more to BC's team than Beasley did to WO-S. I truly believe that BC was a 5-5 team without Dishon.

Sell. Kville could be the team with 0 district wins. B or S: OF shocks everyone and nabs one of the 3 playoff spots.

Buy: HJ or HF, one will not win a district game I'm afraid. My personal feeling are that it will be HJ. Never have had a defense and just lost all the offense they had. B or S: Kenneth Beasley will find the starting line up on defense this year and be voted the Big Twelve newcomer of the year.

Buy. B or S: WO-S gets at least as far this year as they did last year.

ABSOLUTELY!!! Texasfootball.com says that some are considering us a "lightweight"... that's funny...

Stratford FAVORITES Alvin: Of all the favorites, Alvin could be the dark horse. Though picked 6th in district, Alvin beat district-favorite Pearland in an SQT finals. Austin Westlake: If QB Nick Foles gets hot, Westlake could be the team to beat. Baytown Lee: Two-time champs have another solid QB in Jeremy Moses, the QB for the 7-on- 7 state champs. Brenham: Might boast most skill of any qualifier: Qb Jarrett Lee (LSU pledge), WR/DB Brandon Collins (UT pledge), CB Shawn Sullivan (Nebraska pledge). Copperas Cove: Tons of talent returns for the Dawgs, including Tech pledge in WR Rashad Hawk. Cypress Falls: Falls has one of top receiving duos in state, not just at 7-on-7, as well as LB Derek Stephens (A&M pledge) leading the defense. Hebron: Brian AuBuchon, one of the catalysts for the state title run, returns as a seasoned veteran. Houston Stratford: Not much has been said about Andrew Luck, but the Stratford QB, at 6-4, could emerge from this weekend as one to watch after passing for 1,500 yards in ‘05. Katy: Though the Tigers needed until July to qualify, they have plenty of talent to make a run at the finals. Lufkin: Think the Pack will want to prove they’re worthy of their No. 1 ranking in the 2006 DCTF? Southlake Carroll: Talent never a question mark for Dragons; having Riley Dodge at QB is like having a coach on the field. Tyler John Tyler: Beating crosstown nemesis Tyler Lee propelled JT, not former champion Lee, into the favorites category. Weatherford: Roos are loaded with receivers; watch out if QB Briley Worthington can get them the ball consistently. Wolfforth Frenship: Only a junior, QB Seth Doege, a Crane transfer, could really bust out onto the scene with a strong state showing. Katy Cinco Ranch: Another former champion with a strong shot at doubling its number of titles. CONTENDERS Abilene: QB Spens Lackey is showing Eagles can move on past Potts era. Alamo Heights: An easy-to-remember name, QB Giovanne Vizza could lead AH far. Arlington Lamar: Mainstay at state tournament. Bandera: Look for QB Brandon Hicks to shine. Bellaire: QB Max Flinn is solid, but surrounding parts will need to play at his level. Beaumont Ozen: Best defensive backfield in competition will be tested. Brownwood: In this slot more from experience with passing offenses and less with personnel. Cypress Fairbaks: Cy-Fair lost 17 starters from last year’s surprise 10-3 run. Edcouch-Elsa: Team qualified in El Paso, so trip to College Station won’t be a factor. Grapevine: ‘98 runner-ups know a thing or two about the passing game. Haltom: Team is making quick transition to a new coach and system. Houston Lamar: QB Woods returns to lead team that went unbeaten in ‘05 regular season. Katy Taylor: First team to qualify in 2006. North Mesquite: Might have to rely on defense. Odessa Permian: Can Mojo recapture magic? Pearland: The Sam Proctor-Foswhitt Whitaker connection should strike often. Plano East: Looks for East to use Chris Slater in multiple positions. Saginaw Boswell: QB Taylor Weidman will get his chance to earn equal footing with some of the state’s better known passers. San Benito: New arriver on state scene could provide fits early on. Stephenville: Qualifying is good way to begin life after Jevan Snead. Tyler Lee: Took the Rebs a while just to qualify. Victoria Memorial: Vipers love to throw the ball around. West Mesquite: Held opponents to a sub-20 point average during its 5-0 tournament run. West Orange-Stark: This 3A squad usually has the talent of larger schools. Wharton: Smallest school (under 700 enrollment) to make state. Wylie: Georgia transfer Patrick Witt could be the tourney’s X-factor. UNDERDOGS Alief Elsik: Late qualifier might be happy just to be here. Arlington Bowie: Newly hired Coach Perry already bringing returns to the Vols. Austin Lake Travis: Post-Todd Reese era off to good start just by qualifying for state. Buda Hays: Hays always has talent, but graduation stripped Rebels of much of it. Burnet: Rebounding from last year’s 4-6 mark starts in the summer. Bryan: The Vikings waited a long time to qualify - and got drubbed by West Mesquite in the final. Canton: Longshots to even make it, it’s all gravy at this point. Colleyville Heritage: QB Casey Russell has talent, but will take some time to reach level of his predecessor. Cypress Creek: QB Bryan Smith will use state to transition from his ‘05 DB position. Cypress Springs: Making it to this point should help Springs recover from 1-9 mark last year. El Paso Hanks: Omar Hanks, an undervalued QB, will strut his stuff on the state scene. Georgetown: Team still learning new system. Graham: 3A squad is led by WR Chance McCoy, younger brother of Colt. Langham Creek: Langham Creek still trying to break in successor to Ross Jenkins. McAllen Rowe: Rowe just needs to make most of first qualification in two years. Midlothian: Surprise qualifier looking to continue string of upsets. Plano: Had a nice resurgence last season, but that was in a run-based offense. Port Arthur Memorial: Once team picks up Coach Thompson’s approach, Titans will be a major state player. Rockwall: Only thing up in the air for Rockwall is the QB position. Round Rock: Dragons have two receiving threats in Alex Russian and James Kirkendoll. Sherman: Run-oriented QB Taylor Dunlap will need adapt to 7-on-7 passing style. Spring Westfield: Not quite as much talent returns compared to 2005. San Antonio Clark: QB Justin Vaneck returns from 1,500-yard campaign.

Definitely Orangefield.

I can't see Central being in front of WO-S. 4A or not, Central was handled pretty well by WO-S last year and they both have a lot coming back. WO-S proved last year that your not better just because your bigger. They beat 2 of the 3- 4A playoff reps.

I was wondering the same thing. The article says he is a "former" A&M football player. That kind of threw me.

They will not get field turf because that makes the terrain faster, something they don't want. 8)

I think most coaches realize that what's important are the quality wins (ie. playoffs, state title, etc). The only way to get to that level is through quality preparation, like scheduling quality opponents. This will, of course, hurt your win/loss record in the short term, but building programs is not done over night. That is what most quality coaches are after. The problem comes in when administrations (like Ozen in my opinion) do not give coaches enough time to get there OR the coaches do not approach it correctly.

I have to agree with the BH dude... I think Dayton is being a little under estimated. I think they will vie for one of the top 3 spots, which one I'm not sure of, but will get one. I think this will be the first time in a while that Mid County is outside looking in.
