West Orange - Stark

2 questions. First, why did WOS put "Leroy Breedlove Field" on top of the scoreboard? Leroy Breedlove has absolutly nothing to do with that field. He never coached a team that played on that field. Period. And, the field already has a name, "Dan Hooks Stadium". This is just messy and a slap in the face to Dan Hooks. Second, why doesn't WOS get the darn scoreboard fixed? The downs, yards and such does not work. The only thing that works, is the score and the time. Money would have been much better spent on the scoreboard, that that sign they put on top of it.

Don't laugh cause I've heard that the fuses on the Mustangs score side are twice as large as the ones on the visitors score.  Seriously.

Majestyk, your humor never ends. I couldn't find you at the game last night.

I have to also disagree with the naming of the field. Coach Breedlove is a good man and was a good junior high coach. He never coached varsity football. The naming of stadiums and fields is so stupid. What are we going to give Coach T"s name to when he retires? The press box, the side line benches, the impossible walk-way from the entry gate by the concession stand to your seat- Name that "Cornell Thompsons children chain gang barricade".

If that's the case, then why are we the only school in the area that does that? I don't buy that.

With the long history of the scoreboard not working, I agree, what is up with that. Even smaller schools with less enrollment and not as much of a winning tradition have complete working scoreboards. I am just saying that this broken scoreboard is an embarrassment to WOS. I know WOS can take bids to have someone or some company fix the scoreboard. Even if some school wanted to use the stadium for a playoff game, who would without a complete working scoreboard.

Posting questions and points of view are one thing! Attending the school board meetings and actually getting involved in the solution is the ANSWER! Ask questions, participate and help introduce new ideas. If you don't participate or engage in volunteering your time then posts are a waste of time! That's just my nickel of knowledge hahaha

the scoreboard has been a problem going on for too long, for such a great winning tradition of football, you would think by now it would be fixed somehow or be someone who has the money or knowledge.

Par for the course in Setx. It's also ridiculous that lots of assistant coaches in greater Houston area make  close to the same salary  Coach Thompson makes. Why won't the WOS brass pony up and pay this great coach 110K!!

Because we do not have a separate controller for down and distance independent from the clock controller. Two people can not be using the same box. That's the issue. Come on up next home game and you will see.

So you are saying nothing is wrong with our scoreboard? It's different than all the other scoreboards in the area?I'm not trying to be a smart a$$ but it worked fine for years so I don't understand where the problem is.Did we have separate controllers back then and that's why it worked back then?

    • What were the issues at Rusk?  SB, Admin, Culture, Pay?  Inquiring minds would like to know.
    • This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up From the article: “As a parent, then as a homeowner, if you have some equity in your home, then you can say to your child, you know, ‘don’t take out the loan,’” she said. “‘I’ll take out some of the equity to help you pay for tuition so that you don’t graduate with extraordinary student loan debt, and so that when you graduate, you can do your dream job.’” Essentially, Harris suggested that parents give their kids a leg up in the world by being the ones to take out a loan instead. Except theirs would have much higher stakes than just needing to be paid back — it could mean losing their home. 🤦‍♂️
    • Good luck and safe travels. Bring it home.
    • It has been frustrating seeing the lack of coverage from virtually EVERY media outlet.  We (Chester) are in the SE Texas coverage area.  There are no radio broadcast from our area, and Ch 12 is the only one that has even mentioned it.   I know I could have gotten donations to cover a SETX Sports broadcast.  Oh well, water under the bridge - we aren’t as big as Silsbee, WO-S or PN-G.
