I predict that Silsbee will finally come out and play to their potential against someone other than WOS and win 35-34 in OT.

Congratulations Silsbee on a big win. It doesn't matter how you get to the next round as long as you get there. Now, play like you did against WOS against Navasota and take them down! That being said, I can't help but make a point here (I know, here we go)... Aggies, you know I have given Silsbee much props for the way they played against us. However, when any WOS fan mentions that we may not have played very well that game we quickly get a, "Why is it that you played bad? Maybe it's because we played good", by you or other Silsbee fans. Now, you are doing the same thing. You make it sound like it's because you played bad rather than Huffman playing well... can't have it both ways bro...

Score?

All I'm getting is the Kilgor game...:

???

Good article, sounds like the boys are focused.

Caution should not be seen as cowardice. We have a history of being ambushed in the first round by teams we're "supposed" to beat soundly. CE King, Silsbee and Huffman are teams all the experts said we should have beat. It's all about playing at the next level. If we do not come out and play better than we have all year, we could easily go home. Coldspring is capable of beating us. If we do raise our level of play, we should be OK. We will see on Saturday.

Oh... I'm sure they are very good. I'm not saying that at all. Gilmer is Gilmer. I just hope we get the chance to play them. We have a long way to go to even get that opportunity.

Barring a bus crash Carthage will be there!!! they are twice the team that either WO-S or Gilmer is. Why? Because they beat Diboll? Hmmmmm... ??? :

Well at least u dont have the pressure of anyone predicting you to do anything other than get in the playoffs. Ive NEVER read or heard of you all being mistaken fo a championship caliber team. Awe man, that wasn't very nice... LOL

It's funny that some of you Kville folk will refer to a game that you played against Silsbee last year, but refuse to refer to your game with WOS... : I' mean, why try to compare what you did against a team a year ago when you actually played the team your comparing against last year. LOL Maybe it's because you don't want to bring up that spanking... ;D

Dan, this is your cuz... way to premature for this post. While I would LOVE for this to happen, we can't even think about it at this point. Cold Spring is VERY capable of providing us with an early exit. I'm telling you, they are not bad and have a great young coach. They will not go quietly.

We have not won a state title in 20 years, that doesn't mean we aren't any good. We get respect from those who are not WOS fans due to our abilities on the field. Don't hate just because some think we will win.

Friday, they looked like a team that is beginning to peak at the right time.

Agreed! The fourth quarter it seemed like WOS ran the same exact play every play and we still could not stop it. Like someone else said on here what does WOS have to prove against OF. We don't have a history. I respect them and I think alot of WOS people respect us too. I know Hooks and Morrison are good friends and speak all the time. I pull for OF every game but one. I know several of those kids.

Coldspring will be no push over. We have to keep playing good defense and keep up what we had Friday on offense. I think we can score on them, they have given up over 24 points a game. We just need to take it one game at a time an avoid being ambushed in round 1.

WOW! It's called a 2 minute drill and we definitely needed to practice it. That was about our season going forward, not trying to avoid offending someone. Furthermore, I don't care who you are playing, not allowing a single first down is impressive.

One of the best JV squads in years is what i've been told. Yes... That's a fact. One of THE best JV squads the 'Stangs have ever had in their 30 + years, and that's saying quite alot! Mix this group in along with some of the other underclassmen and with the Seniors on next years Varsity, and the Mustnags are gonna be a real contender for state for the next 3 years running, not to mention this years #3 ranked 'Stangs...WOW! An extremely bright future in Mustang land for the next several years! Mix in with that an 8th grade group with over 54 kids on the team (yeah, just on the 8th grade) who had an "a" and "b" team, both of whom went undefeated for the season and both gave up less than 20 points total!

One of the best JV squads in years is what i've been told. Being undefeated is only half the story. This team gave up very few points (I would be surprised if it was 25, I thought it was less than 20). They not only won, but they dominated! They beat Nederland JV 33-7 and Memorial JV 36-6. The only close game they had all year was with Silsbee (of course) which they won 12-0. Great job Stangs, looking forward to seeing you next year!

The biggest thanks needs to go to you, Tony Dallas, for coordinating the whole thing! Where there is a will, there is a way, something us Mustangs were taught in our time at WOS. I guess some of the present admin should have been reared here too. :

I really can't believe some of the things I read on this site. Cleveland vs. HJ, in week one, was the worst games Cleveland has played all year. The final score: Cleveland 22 - HJ 0. The bad news for HJ is that the defense that did not allow them to score in week one is even better. Now for the really bad news, the offense that put 22 points on HJ in week one is now one of the best offenses in the state in 3A. Soooo... is Cleveland the only team that can improve? HJ has become a much better ball club. Keep that attitude.

Coldspring is no slouch. They will be a tough test for WOS.

You should play the game because it is scheduled and we are just fans talking on a message board. That is my opinion which was requested by a Silsbee fan. All that being said, HJ will still get smoked Friday. I don't mean to offend, but that's how it will go down.

You just looked at the numbers and ignored everything in between... Silsbee will throw more times then WOS. Johnson will look up field and if there isn't anything open, he will tuck it and run. He is going to get some big gains that way. Notice I stated that the rest of the Silsbee running game will struggle, but Johnson will get his. And, since we're on the subject, no, HJ isn't half the team that the Silsbee team that played WOS was. If that team shows up Friday, HJ will get smoked... like it or not.

I think both defenses are quick to the ball and play pretty well against the run. I expect both offenses to struggle a bit rushing the ball. I think the difference is going to be at QB. The HJ QB is no Johnson. I think he will be the "X" factor. If he throws the ball like he did against WOS and does what he always does with his legs when things break down, I think he will be the difference. I look for silsbee to win this one something like 28-0 or 28-7. I think Silsbee will probably have around 175 yards rushing and I bet Johnson will have around 125 of that along with around 150 yards passing.
