Gasilla

I was told by a couple of neutral parties that were there tht Nederlands defensive front looked very impressive and that neither team there was a match for them as they totally controlled the LOS. They said they were big and quick. I haven't been very impressed with Ned's defenses the last couple of years, but my buddy says these guys are different. and he's NOT a Ned fan. Should be interesting at Umphrey in a couple of weeks. Another little side fact, Z Taylor's momma is a WOS grad... No wonder he is so explosive...  ;D

Great job td!

Proud, I don't think Nupe and I are talking about the same person you are. The kid we speak of is a Soph no doubt.

For the first scrimmage I think both teams looked very sharp. [/quote] That kid's gonna sleep well tonight. He didn't come off of the field much.

[/quote] That's what I would like to know. Hope it isn't injuries. [/quote]Nothing major more precautionary than anything. [/quote] That is what I understand as well Griff. Jacquis Beasley was held out as a precaution as well. None of them have anything major and will probably play next week from what I hear.

The simulated half ended 6-0.

I'm not going to post his name, but he played for WOS in the STJFL League. He was a very special player. His dad moved to Beaumont and he moved with him and he played his Middle School ball there in Beaumont. He is now a Sophomore.

Nupe, I bet that's the kid he's talking about. He has been gone for a few years now.

[quote name="AkAQuarterHorse" post="1033550" timestamp="1313030365"] Yes is true there was a transfer to Ozen also [/quote] When? This year? Must have been an underclassmen.

His leaving had nothing to do with offense or getting the football. It was defensive. He will be missed, but he is replaceable. A Sophomore is filling his role very well. And it was West Brook he went to.

[quote name="bigred360" post="1032739" timestamp="1312852668"] WOSgrad, thanks for posting this article as a few things were made more clear. [/quote] Awesome to see someone follow God's calling. He'll be able to touch many lives now, young/old, athlete/non-athlete. Thanks for sharing.

[quote name="kicker" post="1031498" timestamp="1312480170"] He is twice the size that his dad was.[/quote] ... ??? you are supposed to drink the 12 pack AFTER you go to practice... ;D He isn't any bigger than Quinton. He has decent size, about like his dad.

[quote name="kicker" post="1031494" timestamp="1312479600"] Personally, I like Menards attitude. Do I think BC will beat WOS? Not really but we shall see. Also, a great QB leads his team not just physicaly, but mentaly. Teams with great leadership are the ones who surprise people. I applaud the boy to be confident but not cocky. One thing that i feel certain about is WOS's play this year. Something tells me they will be a very scarry team to play. After were done beating eachother up during the season(lol), i hope that all of our 21-3A reps go deep in the playoffs. [/quote] Right!?!? What do people expect from the kid? Like he's going to say they have no chance? LOL... I don't blame him and he's using some sound logic. They DID beat WOS in the 7th and 8th grade and this probably IS their best chance to win for the foreseable future. I have no problem with what he said and I thought he was very respectful and not the least bit cocky. He SHOULD believe they can win. I think both of the kids interviewed represented themselves and their community well... JMO.

Sounds like we need to round up a flag football game...

Hard to say right now. He's just a Jr this yr and has not played varsity yet. We will know in a few weeks. Huge person to be compared to though... LOL

Yes it is Quinton Sr's boy.

Ozen has a Sophomore over there that is going to end up with that QB job anyway. His last name is James and he is a great player. Used to live in Orange, but now plays for Ozen. You will hear about him soon.

They gave us a run for our money. We were their only loss for the season I believe. And some people say that we were one of the best teams WOS had since 87. We had awesome teams in 95 97 and 98. But we kept running into the LaMarque Cougars. They were a dynasty in the 90s. Then in 98, we played horrible against a great sislbee team and lost first round. I believe we were number 2 in state behind LaMarque or Stephenville. [/quote] It's just amazing how geography can distort perception.  This gentleman is obviously from WO-S territory and remembers per his statement: ". . . we played horrible against a great Silsbee team and lost in the first round."  I was one of the broadcasters at that game for the Silsbee radio station.  Silsbee, indeed, played a great game - you have to to beat WO-S.  But I don't remember that WO-S played that horribly.  But then, I'm old and don't remember much anyway. 8).                 Oh yeah, we played probably one of our worst games in years. I'm not taking away Silsbee puting it to us, but If I could get the stats, we had more turnovers in that game, than the whole season combined. I want to say we had three touchdowns called back, could hold on to the football, and the weather was horrible. Took our speed away from us. Couldn't even kickoff without falling down in the mud. Trust me, I remember well. [/quote] [/quote] Didnt we also miss an important xtra point in that game as well... LMAO ;D

I have to admit, when I heard "I- Formation", it made me cringe. But the more I hear about how Hodges runs his offense, the better I feel about the potential. Don't expect the oldschool "I". I think we will be OK.

Hey Grad, when you have the opponent for tomorrow morning, will you post it please? Thanks!

[quote name="Rizon" post="1021219" timestamp="1309318042"] Outside of KVille and Dayton (who I guess isn't SETX) what has anyone done since PNG in 1999 and WOS in 2000. Has anyone even made it to the semi's? I think we have some really good football around here...just nothing seems to do really good in the playoffs. So...someone make it happen this year. [/quote] WOS made the semi's in 2005. Jasper, Kirbyville and Newton have all been to the title game and semi's multiple times.

[quote name="I dont play well with Jaguars" post="1022638" timestamp="1309987234"] [quote author=AggiesAreWe link=topic=85479.msg1022632#msg1022632 date=1309986529] [quote author=I dont play well with Jaguars link=topic=85479.msg1022592#msg1022592 date=1309979506] [quote author=AggiesAreWe link=topic=85479.msg1022573#msg1022573 date=1309973491] Let me correct myself. Silsbee has not made it to the regional finals since 1998, which is 13 years ago, not decades. ( to be accurate, 1 decade and 3 years ;)) It just so happens that game was a loss to LaMarque by the score of 20-14. LaMarque blocked a field goal attempt and returned it for a TD and then got the benefit of Silsbee fumbling inside the LaMarque 10 yard line twice to stop Silsbee scoring drives (one of those at the Cougar 2 yard line :'() [/quote]wasnt that the year Silsbee had that big bruiser of a RB who looked like a lineman but ran like a WR? I forget his name. [/quote] No. Silsbee had Quincy Kelly and Mark Farr as their RB's that year, both around 160-170 lbs, but very fast. Not sure of what "big" runningback you are thinking of. Can't remember any RB at Silsbee weighing over 200 lbs. [/quote]dang it, i mis-typed. i meant LB not RB. [/quote] I remember who you're talking about. Can't remember hi name, but he transferred from Kountze I believe.

Yes

A lot of these kids are pretty close in speed though. Colin Janice(who was state runner up in the 400 meters as a soph.) is pretty fast too. He anchored the 4x100 relay when Mark Roberts was injured and did a great job. I think that's what makes Wo-s track team so good year after year. They have runners who all have state championship caliber speed. There are some J.v runners who can run with these guys too and a couple of upcoming freshman Deonte Thompson and Devin Moore who will probably be winning some state championships in track as well. They are also on the mustang football team. [/quote] Devin is fast, but he didn't run track this year. Trey Spencer, Troy Brinson and Ike are some others in that class that can fly and actually have better 40 times than D Thompson. [/quote] Yeah, Devin didn't run for the school this year, but will this upcoming season. He's doing very well for the Orange track club in his first year running track. Many of these kids have alot of speed. Yes Trey Spencer can run and can hit in football. Don't really know anything about the other two you mentioned, but I'm sure we'll be hearing from them soon. [b]The Freshman football team will be very good.[/b][/quote] Did this freshman team beat the undefeated PN team last year as eighth graders?? This was suppose to be a highly anticipated matchup, but I don't recall who won, or if they even played that game. Fill me in. [/quote] Are you sure it was PN that was undefeated? They were supposed to play Nederland who was very good, but the game got canceled when Reggie passed.

[quote name="VNUPE" post="1022783" timestamp="1310044652"] Deionte Thompson and Devin Moore should be commended for trading in most of their summer fun to work hard with the Orange Track Club. They are doing a great job with that. They are also outstanding football players and what will separate them from a lot of people as they go through high school is their work ethic. [/quote] I agree, both are outstanding athletes and kids!
