Isn't dancing on the grave of a team that your team had nothing to do with burying so fun!? Even leaving out Carthage, I just wonder how those that are accusing WO-S faithful of using the "excuse card" would have reacted had the shoe been on the other foot tonight and it would have been China Spring with the 6 starters, including the offensive line......the......entire.......offensive line and the Mustangs came out victorious. Actually, I don't have to wonder that much as those same folks would have flooded the board with comments such as "well, you beat a team that had 6 starters out which is the only way you could have beat them." Those folk's hypocrisy aside, whether you think the starters being out did or did not matter in the outcome of this game really doesn't matter. The scoreboard is the final arbiter of who is the better team on a particular night, it always has been. And it is draconian arbiter with no compassion as to who a team does or does have playing. It only measures the performance of those on the field at the time of the game. And the West Orange-Stark Mustang team on the field was the best that WO-S had to offer tonight. That might not have been the case back in September. Heck, it might not have been the case last week. But it was tonight. China Spring beat the best that WO-S had to offer and for that they get my congratulations and my best wishes for the rest of the season. I think that the impact China Spring had on Region III was overshadowed by Carthage's moving into the Region. They may not have to stay in that shadow much longer. I am always proud West Orange-Stark alum but there are times you really beam. Of course, the biggest of those times came in the years 1986, 1987, 2015 and 2016. I must say, that have been very few, if any, times that my Mustang pride has been real high in a loss. That changed tonight. No, for one of the few times in the last decade, the Mustangs won't have football practice for Thanksgiving. But tonight, they showed that they had learned some life lessons well and may have very have taught some tonight. At the very least, they affirmed some. 1. Always show up 2. Never quit. Yes, even though my alma mater won't even sniff the regional finals this year, I can affirm that I am a proud graduate of West Orange-Stark High School. I am proud of Coach Thompson and the coaching staff and I am proud of the kids that suited up tonight. The easy way out would have been a call to Coach Bell and say "we are just missing too many players" and forfeit the game. The fact is, we are just not raised that way in the communities of Orange, West Orange and Pinehurst. Now, let's be sure, there are some that will crucifying Coach Thompson for even the entertaining the thought of playing tonight. I am sure that resident Beaumont Enterprise coronabros Jorge Ramos and Matt Faye, who, although they will deny it citing themselves as "sports reporters", rooted tirelessly against playing football at any level, have already sent out umpteen tweets calling his decision wreckless and will soon publish a 1000 word column on how WO-S' fate in the playoffs is indisputable proof that not one down of high school football should have been played. I think tonight showed just the opposite. Todd Broussard West Orange-Stark Class of 1986

Any team at the 4A level and down loses their entire starting offensive line and two defensive line starters will suffer terribly against a good team. That's no excuse, just fact. If you claim your team can overcome that type of loss, you live in a fantasy land.

Y’all Silsbee fans are downright pathetic. Now y’all openly calling this kid out when there was no stupid talk the last two years. I’ve given examples how over the years, some of y’all just show horrible class and support for the kids. On and off this forum. That kid is a great young man that will do great I’m getting his adult life started.

I don't know who you think you are, but we don't have any room to talk sh*t about anybody right now. We don't act like clowns on this forum. Understand?

To the idiot Silsbee people on social media saying stupid stuff like ‘I told you, Bro. Smith can’t coach’ . You realize Carthage has been #1 in the state all season. This type of lopsided loss was inevitable. But so much negativity is spewed from that town even during successful years, again, I can never wrap my head around the mentality. Congrats on an excellent season, Tigers. To that buzzsaw Carthage. Go win state!!! I’ll be following this team.

Even with the missing players, special teams is what put WOS in a big hole. Blocked punt taken in for a score, 7-0.Fumbled punt at own 8 gave China Spring a short field, 14-0. Cougars then grind a drive out for 21-0. After a trick play makes it 21-7. China Spring’s 2,000 yard rusher breaks it for a huge TD run, 28-7. Then Cougars recover pooch kick that set up a 52-yard TD pass, 35-7. Mustangs fumbled another punt but was able to recover it. China Spring was a top 10 ten team for part of this season. They took advantage of every mistake. A full strength WOS would’ve still been in trouble with those special teams mistakes.

It’s “next man up”, not “next 6 guys up” there’s a big difference

The Black pants with white tops look awful btw

Let’s go Cougars! Scratch’em😃

Same thing goes for whoever got their panties in a knot over my Agent Orange reference.

That sucks. Glad 2.0 is gone in January, lives saved hopefully.

So the biggest thing about this game in my opinion is the fact that kids who have worked their tails off to play all year were sidelined due to the China Virus or whatever reason. The other bad part is the rest of the team going into a game they had a chance to win but were hobbled due to missing starters. Whether or not WOS is or isn’t the team we thought they were is irrelevant. I just hate it for those boys, those seniors, who would do anything to play one more down. WOS has my greatest respect for playing instead of bowing out. I’m glad those deserving young men got to play at least one more game, one more down no matter the outcome.

I'd get banned. And some still giving or want to give a shady comment, but I bet their team doesn't want smoke with ours. 😎

PN-G's defense is porous. I've watched BH play. They could beat them. #2 for REL may have lead the district in rushing. With the Dayton transfer at QB, Lee would have challenged for district. Period

Lee would have been a problem in D2. Maybe battle Crosby for the DC

Yeah but you're talking about the almighty University of Carthage. They are the only team in the state who could forfeit next week and still advance.

LOL what did you do that was any better 🤣SMH You’re no Tiger fan. Get a life or better yet go get a coaching degree and try to help our future teams instead of being a keyboard warrior

And BOOM!!! There goes the dynamite lol

You're not a fan, so it's cool

I just hope all this takes nothing from China Spring. They came to play and played the guys that were in front of them, covid or no. Good luck to whoever is next.

BH 2nd Nederland 3rd and PNG 4th. Point system

What's crazy is a Beaumont West Brook fan called this back at the beginning of the season. Yeah I really am just that good! LMAO...

Good honest post.

I have some info for Carthage and Salado game it's next Friday in New Caney a potential double header time TBA

I love Ned. I eat there

Ned definitely deserved this win. Good job bulldogs. Heck BH even picked the ball like 4 times

COVID, when I heard about it a couple of days ago and, the players who were affected I knew China Spring had a shot.

What happened to my dam starters is this CIA secret or what. I tuned in to listen to West Orange-Stark not We-t Or--ge -ta-k.

Who would have thought that from the Nederland scrimmage lmao that's why you cant tell much from a scrimmage

I think it's safe to say PNG coaching staff don't even care about defense. Not even a little bit.

FINAL: West Sabine 26 Simms Bowie 20 West Sabine advances to face Mart next week

If you are a true WOS FAN this is really not a surprise Under the circumstances.. but as I Stated before NO excuses... We All in

It ain't over yet, old man. Anything can happen

Texan Lives "BEST offense in the district" not looking very good tonight.

I mean, the score is what it is but Crosby still needs to play better on the offensive side of the ball. I will say it is very nice to see this type of team performance despite not being as sharp as we should.

Pulling for you Woodville.

China Spring ain't bull*****ing.

This is what happens when you’re a good team that plays in a weak area...imho...

Atmosphere lol

Figure I'll drop a prediction. I HATE to say this, but in the spirit of objectivity, it doesn't look good for PNG. I honestly know nothing about Crosby, other than watching them against Barbers Hill, and that game is a bad sample since BH played like eagles with clipped wings or some other bad trouble that eagles can get themselves into. I don't know a lot about eagles, so I'm already regretting that joke. In any case, you don't need to know anything at all about Crosby to predict this game. PNG has been the most consistent team in the area in one aspect: An absolutely mortifying inability to make plays at the line or make open field tackles. This weakness has been particularly clear against running QBs. Every team we've played, no matter how good or bad, has been able to take advantage of it. So if Crosby is AT ALL competent at running faster than a dead snail on the bottom of a broken wheelchair, PNG is going to struggle all night. I HATE predicting a PNG loss against the Mecca. I'm hoping Faircloth got the ipad I placed in the mail this week because we are going to need all the help we can get. That being said, I in no way think Crosby is unbeatable. Crosby is solid. I think (again, based solely on what I observed against BH) they are a third-round team with a high seed, 2nd round with a low seed. PNG can win this game. I don't look at PNG as a bad team at all. They have played well in every game, and the only truly bad performance, even with the bad defense, was the implosion against BH. PNG has shown flashes of real potential and talent all season, and there is nothing to say it won't come together tonight. Remember the 2010 season, when Central marched into the Reservation for the last game of the season, one game away from an undefeated district championship -- In that season PNG had an awful defense and an incredible offense (that was a year, I should add, PNG dominated Crosby in the pre-season). PNG crushed Central and went to the third round, only to lose by 10 points against Manvel. So we could surprise people tonight, is my only point. We still have the best QB in the area, and a full stable of dangerous runningbacks and receivers. GO Indians.

Gigout’s Dad is not a coach. I’m just a dad that like watching his son play. Thank you for saying what you said Jayhawk. But I can’t take credit for his successes. He works hard and plays had and I hopefully thought him how to be coachable and the rest came from the great coaching he has got though the great coaching staff of BHISD.

Barbers Hill has nothing to hang their heads about. Barbers Hill is a disciplined and talented football team. Nederland was very lucky to come out with the W after 4 picks.

They ran it in.....kronos....you gonna like this: Beaumont West Brook 54 Humble Summer Creek 48, FINAL IN OVERTIME

Ugly.....

LETS GO BROOK!!!! YALL CAN DO THIS...YOU KNOW HE BLOW GAMES LOL!!! BE THE PS5!! PS5 VS XBOX 360!!!

Good season Woodville

Carthage scored 35 on Jasper for the game, they just put that up on silsbee in 2 quarters. I don’t know what the problem is, but this can’t be Silsbee’s best

But apparently the coaches don't see it that way.

Carthage needs to get their starters out before these personnel fouls get out of hand. Seen a couple that weren’t called. That hit on the QB just now was cheap.
