Overall I think it was about what you would expect for a 1st scrimmage.  Both teams defenses look good at times.  I really liked what I saw from Orangefield's #67 Jake Best, he was in the Vidor backfield a few times before the QB could even hand the ball off.  He's going to be fun to watch this year!  Orangefield's offense has some work to do which we knew it would since they lost some quality guys from last year.  I'm not too concerned yet, last year in this scrimmage I don't think Orangefield got a first down but came on as the season progressed.  From what I saw, I don't think their were any injuries to either team.  Best of luck to the Pirates this season.

The few times I've seen them this year, they are far ahead of where they've been the past two seasons!

[/quote] I know that gas......Who in 21-3A runs the "I"?  Not one team.  It will help WO-S. It looks like you believe that WO-S doesnt have the linemen to run the "I"......I think they do.  When you ran the power sweeps last year.....did it work?  [/quote] [b] Yeah, I get what you're saying now. ;) Not that they are similar, just both different than the norm in 21-3A. Truth be told, I would love to see what WOS could do in an offense like what Orangefield runs.[/b][/quote] That would be interesting!

[quote name="orangedad" post="1021234" timestamp="1309326169"] I heard the reason bennett was leaving was because he received a good offer at kirbyville, but because him and huckaby could not see eye-to-eye, huckaby would not let bennett get kids to practice throughout the season, huckaby fealt that football came first, and would not work with bennett, which is a good coach btw, and the reason we have trawhon is because of recomendation from huckaby, because he will do what he wants. [b]I only hope that the baseball program in OF that Bennett built, and known to be excellent, has not been pushed to the side[/b]. As a side note, I do not personally know bennett, I have just been an observer for years, so do not think I am a follower. [/quote] I've heard this a few times and laugh each time, do some really think that Bennet built the OF baseball program!!  I like Bennett and have nothing against him, but OF was successful in baseball long before he got there.  Plus Bennet had alot more talent than previous coaches at OF!!!  I hope he does well at Kirbyville, but I'm looking forward to what Trawhon has to bring to the program!!

Why should they post it when they have someone more than qualified already on staff!

Does not matter much now, a coach has been choosen just waiting on approval from the school board.

The fundraiser was a huge success again this year.  Some great items auctioned off and alot of money was raised.  Thanks to all the coaches including Cornell Thompson for coming out and showing their support. 

Johnny was the best QB in the spring game behind Tan.  He will be the QB after this season.

It's one of the best sports memorabilia auctions in Southeast Texas!  All proceeds go towards the scholarship fund that provides a $6,000 scholarship each to a male and female athlete from Orangefield.

Congrats on being named to the Big 12 All Freshman Team.

Congrats Coach Sutherland.  Best of luck to you except for Week 0 next season!  ;D

[quote name="taprapgrab" post="1008826" timestamp="1305139322"] If Huck leaves Orangefield it would be a huge loss! The OF school board needs to cough up 5K and match this 2A school salary! This coach is old school, and the kind of coach that teaches kids lessons they will appreciate for the rest of their lives.  He is a true AD and is involved in every sport, not just football.  Please don't go coach  :'(    [/quote] Money is not the reason he applied for this job!

[quote name="Riding Solo" post="1008782" timestamp="1305129665"] I don't blame Huck for wanting to leave. It is a no win situation at Orangefield. Hard working kids no doubt and if the kids had a say so I bet they would want Huck to stay. If Huck leaves it will be a step backward for Orangefield. Why can't parents mind their own business. If I was a coach Orangefield would not be on my list as far as places I would want to coach. Not because of the kids, they are great. To much drama and complaining. Orangefield looked like a JV team compared to most of their opponets and they went 7-3. First winning season in a long time and they want to run this guy off. Go figure!!!!!! [/quote] Very well said!  Cound not agree more!

[/quote] It does look like the e-mail did create enough waves for Henry to amend his blog.  But I have reservations as to him doing such a blog.  Yes, it is obvious that he favors Huckabay for the job and I can't argue with some of the reasoning behind his blog.  Yet, for him to try and do so in the open internet at the expense of another local school is a cheap shot. [/quote] He did respond to my email basically saying he meant no disrespect towards OF.  I know he received numerous emails from OF folk!

As for Huck, maybe somebody is trying to get a raise. [/quote] How much is Huck getting paid now? Applying for a 2A job to get a raise at your current 3A job. That's a new one. ;) [/quote] Alot is going on behind the scenes at Orangefield.  No surprise Huck applied for this job.  Actually I'd be surprised if Huck is still at Orangefield next year!

Congrats Bradley

I hope you're right!

I was there.  He did look good.  He just makes plays.  He's going to be fun to watch!

Good win Bobcats!

Evans will more than likely pitch tonight, but don't be surprised if he is saved for Friday against WOS.

Not sure it will be Evans tonight!

Deramus from Orangefield hit 2 Friday.  Gives him 3 on the year.
