Keys to Success:

1.  Tradition? Hardly.  It helps for a team to have some, but not if the tradition includes losing.   Change to "Winning Tradition"

2.  Coaching Continuity?  Possibly..  But again... not if there is no success.  If your community/players NEVER or RARELY have to

     endure a change in coaching philosophy it is a big advantage.  There are no short learning curves in those programs. 

     One School...ahem....has 30+ years of coaching philosophy. 

3.  Talented Athletes?  No argument there.  A must, though at the High School Level, one truly gifted athlete gets you a big head start.

      Throw in 2, 3, 4, 5 at one time.  Good lord.  

4.  Community Support?  It helps tremendously.  No athlete can resist the roar of the crowd.  Its intoxicating.

     I personally believe that when talented athletes, not the gifted ones, stay in their community.

     Then encourage acceptance of a philosophy that was there before them, with them and will be there after them, then there can

     be no confusion of what is expected from them.   Success.  

 

Note:  There has to be multiple examples of success.   Championship trophies, collegiate players, professional players, etc.

           Those success stories have to continue to be part of the community to cement the winning philosophy.

 

For our area, West Orange-Stark got it right.  Lucky? Maybe, all winning traditions need a little luck here and there.

It doesn't matter.  That program has found what works for their community.  Why change it....

 

I love when WOS comes to town. It brings out the best in our athletes.    Enjoy their brand of football. 

The last three years of WOS football is kinda like the Greek Spartans of old. 

You can talk noise, no problem, but you'll probably end up at the bottom of a deep hole or piled up next to the others.

 

I'm done. Respect.

Strangely enough, Cornel Thompson would not be on that list.  However, I understand (I think) what you are saying with that question.  One of the factors of the success of the Musta

Southeast Texas schools have an abundance of very good atheletes , the difference at WOS is the program that has been in place for many years , basic skills , blocking , tackling . Discipline is essential and Cornell requires it. Conditioning is a key , you will very rarely see a mustang with a cramp or bent over with his hands on his knees trying to get some air .  We've played against some great  atheletes over the years , epic battles with Jasper come to mind , but they could not go 4 quarters at the mustang pace. Last and maybe most important - consistency in very good coaching . But even that suffered at WOS during some periods , we had the teams , but our play selection was not what was required to win 3 or 4 rounds deep.  The perfect storm has been brewing the last several years .

But we will lose some of those good coaches, we always have, many went on the be very successful , Barry Norton at Texas high comes to mind. Several state championships , I think maybe he took that mustang program with him.

I for one would love to see SE Texas teams become state power houses , just takes disciplined hard work.

The problem I have is that you guys are eventually going to have to come to terms with the idea that you do not represent SETX alone (golden triangle) – then trying to claim Newton (who is by many considered to be EAST TX) while leaving out all of the greater Houston area, who oddly enough have 5 other teams playing in the State semi’s this weekend. DFW / CenTX / East Texas are all very large areas (sq. miles) that claim one another and don’t have this Houston/Beaumont separation mentality.  I know this will never change, but I’m trying to get you guys to understand something here. SETX is not Beaumont. Just ask the Houston folk. LOL

WO-S is your greater Beaumont SETX area 4a and below power house. Why? Tradition, culture, expectation. The athletes there are bred and born to win. It’s the closest thing you have in the area that reflects the culture of small town East Texas HS football. Ok, I am done here.

You guys gotta start thinking outside the box. :-)

So we can either choose to claim Houston area schools and say that SETX is successful (the easy way out), or we can continue to think in our own minds that the Golden Triangle is SETX, accept that we haven't had success, and then discuss it on this site.

KEYS TO LONG TERM-SUSTAINED SUCCESS - Repeated deep playoff runs and state championships

1. Good Coaching, that stays for an extended period of time and/or continues the same philosophy by hiring from within the program.

2. Disciplined players with a strong work ethic

3. A winning tradition that the players feel a responsibility to uphold

4. Unselfish players

5. Very good athletes

6. Supportive parents that allow the coaches to coach and defers to them as to how to discipline their kids

7. A vocal, knowledgeable fan base and community that supports the program financially and with attendance at games

8. An Administration that supports the program

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.

      Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
