Attention long time West Orange-Stark fans, rank your top 5 teams!

[marshman]

Tonight I saw my 1st Mustang playoff game since 1988.  See I moved out of state before the 89 season got started and while i always have followed the Mustangs via friends, family, newspapers, radio and eventually the internet, I hadn't seen any playoff games and probably only a very few regular season games scattered through the years.  I moved back to Orange this last summer.  Since I never seen much (if any) of the teams through the 90's and 2000's I can only speak of the teams I watched from 77-89.  So here are my top 5 teams.  I am interested and looking forward to readings yalls responses.

1) 1987- That 15-0 team will probably be #1 on most if not all lists.  The standard bearer for all Mustang teams to live up too.

2)  I guess most would say the 1986 state champion team, but the 1985 team was a pretty darn good club as well.  That year they went 10-0 in the regular season and lost 19-6 to a VERY good Houston Yates team.  I believe the 19 points Yates scored was by far their lowest point output of the season. (I think they were averaging something like 50 a game). Too me, had WO-S beat Yates they would have won the 5a title that year as Yates did.  But they didn't beat Yates so I guess the 86 team gets the #2 spot.

3) The above mentioned 1985 squad.

4)  The 1988 state finalist team.

5) 1980.  Steve McCarty's last season. That years team was 9-1 with the only loss coming to Port Arthur Thomas Jefferson. That was the team that featured Todd Dodge and Brent Duhon and were ranked #1 all season.  Sad part is this 1980 team was probably better than the 1979 WO-S team which won district but since at that time only the district champions went to the playoffs, the Mustangs stayed home.

There you have it. Like I stated earlier I can only speak of the team i followed, so i look forward to reading your opinions.

Why do this now? A better time to gauge this would be at the end of the season.

Your probably right, I guess I was just thinking about it on my way home from the game last night.  So lets not count this years team yet as they are still playing.

Why not do it now? Then see if/how this years team shakes up the rankings.....
