WOS Achievements Monument


Recommended Posts

What is going on with the huge sign at the WOS Highschool field that represents all of their accomplishments, opposite the scoreboard.  When I was at the WOS-LCM game it had several panels missing.  I drove by there today and it has several more missing.  It also appears that it has not been updated for a few years.  Come to think of it what used to be a great 5A stadium is now begining to look like a sub-par 3A stadium.  They really need to do some work around there. If you are going to sport one of the best football programs in the STATE, you should let you school and stadium reflect that when people come to visit.  JMO

I have heard this complaint from others.  The sign was messed up in Humberto LAST YEAR and was not fixed.  Maybe there will be enough hurricane money to fix it THIS year!

I personally went and talked to Dr. Collins myself before the season and asked about that sign and the sign on the press box. He assured me that they would both be fixed. He said they were going to wait on the bond money but instead he agreed with me and said it should be done now. I told him if he couldn't get it done to let me know and I felt like I could get it done but we wanted the signs fixed before the start of the season. The one on the press box did get fixed but not the other one. So if Dr. Collins reads this board like they say he does then he can call me. My name is Tony Dallas and my number is 409-882-1943. I had the conversation in his office and that is exactly how it went.

Maybe this is something the alumni can get together and take care of..I know it's not there responsibility..BUT it would make the current kids feel good about the WOS grads still taking pride in there facilities, and there town.then they could see that that is the right thing to do ,so when they graduate they could do the same ..

    Just an idea..

I was thinking this could be a booster club responsibility. Let the club raise the money to fix it and let the school use their funds where it's more needed.

Just my 2 cents.

I told him I would and could get it done. He said he would take care of it. All I needed was the school to work with me. I didn't need anything other than information from them. Exactly what the piece said that needed to be replaced. Who built it in the first place, etc... I offered to take care of the rest. Now there is more damage to the sign.

well hate to hear that..

    most of the time you don't have people to help out ,and then when you do its the other way around. I would stay on him though..hold him to his word and make it where them kids are proud of there facilities.

The problem is there is an easy "out" now. We need to spend the money on the school that was flooded. We need to spend it on this or that. It's hard to argue now.

That's why I was suggesting the booster club take care of it. Just take the "bull by the horns" and do it. Although I do realize that's easier said than done. :(

There is no booster club and has not been for the last couple of years.  For what it's worth, I heard the Spectrum Co. was the original builder and Coach Hooks' secretary has the info.

I will call her today. This is a chance for all former Mustangs to step up to the plate. I will find a way to get it done but it will be easier and faster with help. I'm sure it won't be free. If you have an interest in helping my number is 882-1943 feel free to call me. We can't all give everything but we all can give something. Here is your opportunity Mustangs, either sit on the sidelines and pi$$ and moan about things or get involved and help fix the problems. You can also pm me.

No booster club??? WOW!  I recently moved back to the area after nearly 20 years of being away and did not know this. Hard forme to believe, things sure have changed since I went to WOS.

T, when you talk to the secretary, call me and let me know what we need to do.

Now, the biggest problem I have with this is that, if insurance money was paid to repair the sign then it should have been spent to repair the sign. Not spent ANYWHERE else. Also, wasn't there like 1.5 million dollars of that bond for updating and REPAIRS TO THE STADIUM? I would think that the sign in the stadium would fall under that. Sure is a lot of fishy crap going on...

The sign was blown down during Humberto. My guess is there wasn't enough damage to even file a claim and that is also what other people thought that I talked to. Now there is another panel down. I am going to call the company that originally built the sign and see what I can find out.

    • Heading into the summer and before two a days get going… what are some concerns or positives about your team heading into next season? I’d like to hear from some H-F people because according to some they are the district favorites heading into the season. I’m just trying to pass some time at least until we get our DCTF magazines lol For Bellville my concern is filling some holes on defense… specifically at LB,S, and DT… bright spots ? Basically the entire offensive line returns that paved the way for 3 RBs to rush for more than 1600 yards a  on the season (2 of those RBs will return as well). With all that said Bellville should still be a region favorite this upcoming season.
    • That’s not a choice, it’s the same thing and equally dangerous.    I’ve literally heard (with my own listening ears) the R County Chairman boast in a speech that “the only time I’ve ever voted for a Democrat was when I voted for Hillary in the Democrat primary! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!” You’ll never guess who is tweeting all over the place about how we need closed primaries this week.  Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.  Escalation of force.  These are concepts that you completely understand and teach.  Whatever we do today, we’ll pay for tomorrow. Impeach a President over something stupid? They’ll impeach yours twice.  Promise to lock up your political rival if you get elected? You can’t cry over somebody else doing it to you… even if you were just blowing a little smoke for the morons.   The old days of “don’t throw rocks if you live in glass houses” has now become “I’m pretty sure I’ve got more rocks than they do.” The frightening thing is that Ds only do it to Rs. Rs do it to Ds and other Rs alike without hesitation.  
    • Definitely does NOT sound like a fit for PN-G.
    • No offense, but both sides do it.  The Rs in Texas want to do away with decades of precedent and demand that Dems are no longer given chair positions on any committees in the Tx House. It sounds reasonable enough, until you arrive at a point when the Ds enjoy a single seat majority in the house, select the most leftist speaker of all times, and the refuse to give Rs any say in the legislative process by refusing to give them any committee chairs.     Experience has shown me that any time a party seeks to consolidate power in a legislative body, it backfires.    What I don’t like is a world where we cheer for Manchin for doing his own thing, but also re-elect guys like Paxton and Patrick when they make threats to R Legislators if they don’t do exactly what the Radical Right demands. Our Rep here in Hardin County lost his spot for voting against private school vouchers-his wife is a teacher. He also voted his conscience on the Paxton impeachment.  It cost him his seat…. Not because of the will of the voters in his district, but because if millions of outside dollars pumped into the race from outside the district and even an endorsement of his unknown challenger by Donald Trump himself.    Why do people like you applaud Manchin for being his own man and then vote against Phelan for doing the same thing?
