I was at the game and the Ladies came out good the first half, but came out a little flat in the second half. It was the first game that the ladies have played together as a team. They will get better with each game. They already look to be more competitive than teams in the recent past. Give Tidwell and his staff some games under their belt. They will compete to win the SLC.

I will be there today. I'm excited about this team. Good luck Lady Cardinals!

I agree Bleedorange. That was a very classy move by Coach Mangam, his staff, and his players. I for one enjoyed that sign of good sportsmanship because in this day and age you don't see that too often. So thanks Coach Mangam and your players. Very Classy! HF keep this guy around! See ya at the volleyball game this evening!

I think Orangefield is over 500 now.

56

Jeremy Granger also had a sack on defense to go along with his 6 TD's. Jared Helton OF QB - 6/11 127 yards 4 TD's, 106 yards rushing, and two INT's on defense!

Yeah we always slip a little extra under the table for the refs! PLEASE!!! :

That is correct!

A few injuries in Orangefield this week have just made this game alot more interesting. I'm pulling for my Bobcats, but this game is a toss up right now. Whoever can keep from turning the ball over may win this game.

If the offense plays the way we did last night, we'll score some points!

He played the second half!

Congrats Horns. Keep it up and get that second place spot!!

He did not play the first half. Funny how with it being a close game he gets to play the second half!

I agree CoachKfan. HJ will be a team to watch also. Don't they have almost everyone back, plus they do have that big girl back. I heard she had never played until last year. Is that correct? If so she should be better with a year of varsity experience under her belt. I like Coach Sims she knows her stuff. I can see them winning this district this year. They will give Silsbee trouble. I think this district can have two teams at regionals again this year like it has the past two years. Ok, I'm gonna be a homer here, but don't count out Orangefield. They don't return alot of players with varsity experience, but if some of those younger girls step up they could compete for the district championship. From what little I've seen from Coach Jost, he is a disciplinarian.

If any team from this area has a chance to go to Austin this year it would be Silsbee. I may be off, but the only downfall to Silsbee may be their height. I don't remember them having anyone with real good size. However, I think they make up for their lack of size with their athletism and defense. I like their coach also, he gets the best out of those girls. Silsbee can make it to regionals, but their are some very good teams in Region III. Should be a fun season, I'm ready!!

Recent email! "Hey guys just want to give ya'll the latest news on Gary! He is doing real well! He keeps making forward progress everyday he is starting to talk and walk some plus he is starting to eat some solid foods. His face looks good he may need a little cosmetic work on the end of his nose and the edge of his left ear. He has trouble moving his right arm but they think it is a pinched nerve doing x-rays to find out, he can feel and wiggle his fingers plus he has reflexes in his triceps and biceps. If things keep going the way they are going he may get out in a month or so maybe even sooner! Of coarse he has to go back for some out patient treatment and rehab type stuff. Please keep him in your prayers as he still has a long road to a full recovery!! Thanks, René Naquin"

That's funny!! I'd take EC and Buna over WOS and Silsbee any day of the week!!

Keeping my fingers crossed!!

Hey everyone, what is the average age of your coaching staff? Just curious to see if some of the successful programs in this area have older staffs than those that aren't.

Lets stick to the topic of this thread!

Lady Cards sweep past Lady Cats Gabriel Pruett The Orange Leader ORANGEFIELD — Fortunately for the Orangefield Lady Bobcats it is still early in District 21-3A play. Unfortunately for the Lady Bobcats they ran into a red-hot Bridge City Lady Cardinals team still undefeated in the district standings. Bridge City (13-11, 6-0) were relentless at Bobcat Gym and won the match 25-10, 25-12 and 25-18. With the loss Orangefield drops to 10-13 overall and 3-3 in the district loop. The Lady Bobcats were hanging around in Game 3 and had pulled momentum their way when Allie Beach came up with a block on Bridge City Audrey Myers to make the score 24-18. Unfortunately again for Orangefield, Bridge City’s Emily Kosh set Myers up the next play and Myers’ shot found the court for her 13th save of the night, which led all hitters. The road was tough sledding for Orangefield in the first two games as Bridge City continued its stellar first-half district play. Kayla Fullerton, who had six kills for the Lady Cardinals, took serve with Bridge City up 5-2 and left with the Lady Cardinals up 10-2. The run included two aces from Fullerton. In all Bridge City had 16 aces. While Bridge City’s offense was rolling, its defense was also on point as senior Jenna Angelle had 16 digs. “This feels great,†Jenna Angelle said. “It is undescribable to come in to Orangefield and win in three games.†Lauren Angelle pumped in six kills for the Lady Cardinals while Myers added nine assists and six aces. Sophomore Emily Kosh had a match-high 17 assists. Orangefield as led by Jessica Maass who finished with four kills and Aimee Scales and Laura Riddick who each had three. Senior Kaylin “KK†Little had a team-high five assists. “We had so many mental errors tonight,†Orangefield Coach Linda Riddick said. “Tonight we played unlike we have played all year. I knew we would have some growing pains but I did not expect all of them to show up tonight.†Bridge City was able to take advantage of 11 Orangefield errors in the first game to win 25-10. Kosh got the Lady Cardinals going in the second game with the game tied at one. Kosh went on a tear with 10 straight service points which included two aces. The Lady Cardinals put the second game on ice as Fullerton hit for four straight service points to end it as the last three Lady Bobcat shots found the net. Bridge City won the second game 25-12. Orangefield did hang around in the third and could never grab a lead. Lauren Angelle got the Lady Cardinals off to a good start with three straight service points. With Bridge City up 8-6, Myers came to serve and gave the Lady Cardinals a little breathing room with five straight service points, including three consecutive aces making it 13-6. Kosh later on all but put the match with five straight points making it 23-13 before Orangefield made a run. The margin was too large even after Beach’s block. “I know Orangefield is a lot better than they played tonight,†Bridge City Coach Becca Mathews said. “I wanted to see the same intensity all night and we kind of let up in the third. I am still very, very proud of them. We only have one more to go to stay undefeated in the first half of district.†Jenna Angelle knows the Lady Cardinals are ready for the next challenge. “I am very happy about this team,†Angelle said. “We work so hard in practice. All we have to do is keep working hard and carrying it over to the matches.†The Lady Bobcats return to action Friday when they travel to Silsbee. Bridge City will hit the road to face Hardin-Jefferson on Friday.

Good News, this is an email from Gary's dad. "Up date! BJ got released yesterady! Goes back for check ups and treatment!! Gary is doing better and moving to a step down room.. He drinking juice and eatiing pudding! He looks real good and he keeps getting better!"
