Step right up ladies and gentlemen. The 2023 WOSgrad Pick'ems competition will begin soon. Everyone is welcome to compete. It's a 17 week battle with no bye week. I plan to only have Friday night games. But with the talk of official shortages already these games may change to Thursday or Saturday. Keep a close eye on the Lock Times each week. I'll make an announcement here if I'm moving the times up. And if you find yourself not making the deadline. Send me a PM with your picks and I'll count the games that haven't been played. Hopefully that means "NO FREEBIES". Last year we had a total of 7, with only 8 pts separating the top 5. Also if anyone notices a mistake please let me know as soon as possible. Looking forward to another year with a local team finishing up at AT&T. Good luck to all fans and teams this season.

Entering the final week of preparation. The next 17 weeks will fly by much faster than waiting for the last 17 to pass. Good luck to everyone. Prayers for a safe season for all these student athletes and all supporting organizations as well. Let's not forget, without the trainers, cheerleaders, and bands 🥁. Friday night lights just wouldn't be the same.

Lol, me, CT and a couple school board members sat on the other side.and everything that Vidor and w.o done wrong he said it bf it happened.ima say this and leave it alone with the talent on this team and that's coming back next yr.if we still had him for those years ik for a fact we would've made a trip to Dallas. The kids are truly playing hard no matter what is called on either side of the ball.

After seeing these first couple scrimmages the three positives I see: 1. I think the QB play will be a strength this yr. Turner seems to have turned the corner. I hope he is as much of a leader on the field as he is a competitor. 2. I saw the defensive coaches make adjustments after Vidors first series that went 2 plays and 70 yards. After that they got into the same defensive alignment wed been running against that offense for years with success. That was encouraging to see and the Vidor O didn't get much after that. Adjustments are a necessity and something we didn't see much last year. 3. The offensive and defensive lines are big. We've been needing some size up front. I feel it's hurt us in years past with our lack of size up front in late rounds. I don't know how good they are, and we certainly need to improve in our run game, but that usually develops into the season. Lots of work still to do and not knowing how good the teams you've scrimmaged are really makes it tough to know much more.

"Keep Kirbyville Wierd" doesn't sound right. I wouldn't be surprised if someone puts a for sale sign in they's yard. That doesn't sound right either. What pronoun do they prefer? It doesn't matter. The only preference that matters is that of the parents of these students. It's ultimately a decision for them to make about how they want their children to learn. We need more church based schools for these students. I'm sure there are some teachers in the district that may disagree with all this too. Wouldn't that be an simple solution? Too many of the problems we're facing today could be because of the lack of God in our public schools.

I think PNG ended up with three touchdowns and a field goal. LCM, two touchdowns. Both teams looked pretty sharp, with advantage to png on both sides of the ball. Png defensive and offensive lines are huge, physical, and look game-ready. LCM largely didn’t move the ball against PNG’s 1s, but their passing and run game opened up in the second half. Both teams’ qbs looked good. LCM has some good size, well-coached, and they have a couple fast running backs. LCM defense isn’t as good as their offense, but they overall look pretty good. Png looks like a mostly well-oiled machine, but there were a few mistakes like dropped passes, and a couple missed tackles. PNG’s qb 2 had a couple of really nice passes completed in the second half. Png qbs threw a couple ints.

PNGs kicker nailed a 42 yard field goal into a stiff breeze. Right through the center of the uprights.

One of the best

Oh man i totally missed it. Good guy

Png 17 LCM 7 still playing

WO-S game will determine the outcome of one game....

For sure. In memory of my friend @Hagar

Well im pretty old, and was in high school then Monday morning our principal came over the speaker with the typical news. Then said if anyone needs him he would be meeting PNG staff to smoke a peace pipe. Everyone started laughing. Those were good times.

Recently my 16 year old grandson and I took the master cylinder off of his 62 F100 into a major parts store. The counter guy asked "what is that thing?" I didn't even answer. We just went farther down the road to a local store. The counter guy asked me "Boy, I haven't seen one of those in quite a while. How early in the 60s is it?" Makes a lot of difference to me.

For the ppl that want to keep up with scores: With the 1’s was like 17-7 PNG (1-2 quarters) With the 2’s 14-6 LCM (3-4 quarters) All 4 Quarters Like 23-21 PNG

I had no idea either. RIP to he and his wife. It's easy to think these screen names will always be around. It's good to remember there are frail, fragile human lives on the other end and we all have end dates. Praying for peace for Hagars family.

Gary Farr !!!

are you still excited?

I don’t really care about the press box, but the schools look like crap. Piece milled together and none of it matches or flows. Yes it’s better than it was, but still a short sighted attempt to do something instead of doing it right. I was blown away this week walking into Port Neches Intermediate. It’s truly state of the art. PNG tore down 6 schools and built 4 brand new. I know they have a bigger tax base, but they spend money the right way thinking ahead for the future. I still don’t wear purple, but I’m thankful my kids do.

Is the sinking building info from Kline? Hate to say it but I read his Blog weekly. Not only does he stretch the truth but he's way off the mark....often.

Lol. Nederland had about 6 kids scrimmaging with the Varsity. They must be desperate. Even had one freshman who hasn't even practiced at the high school level because he's hurt on the sidelines in a uniform. Booster club prez kid of course. Gonna be interesting year

thanks for the updates WOSDrummer.

Nah. 1 or 2 maybe 3 win season right?

Made the deal himself and works on it when he can

Who is the legend? Rod?

1-1 in the controlled. EC 13 CS 6 in the live half. Both teams look pretty decent. CS still working through the Slot T conversion.

I guess u could see why we were so gud by the time that class graduated and turned it over to us.but,also u have know how hard CT pushed us in those days.

They can send some football players this way. I sell houses if anyone needs a new address. Give me a call 😀

Yes, yes , and yes. QB's leadership role has been enhanced by a WOS legend. It was an honor to meet that man and shake his hand last night. As long as we have community members like him and my friend @dj, who are committed to continue to program's success. We cannot fail. WOS 112%

New coach may have a new philosophy? Definitely not a discussion you’re having under the old regime though, which is part of the reason they’re gone. Maybe the new philosophy is to scheme receivers open instead of getting it to them quick and letting them use their athleticism in space? In the scrimmage yesterday the routes were long developing and Eudy had to hold it several times. One other thing that was noticeable after I watched the film this morning is that we often had only three in a route against 5/6 defenders vs the 4/5 kids we would have in a pattern in Coach P’s offense. That makes it even tougher to get open. You need to be great on the offensive line to run the style of offense being installed. When people were killing me this Summer for saying this style offense isn’t conducive to the players the Crosby community produces last night is what I was eluding to. Throw in the type stuff you touched on up top compounded with the missed opportunities we did have and that’s how you end up with 0 tds all night. Maybe we’re going to be a defensive team from now on though🤷🏾‍♂️

He wore #2, safety and played pretty decent. Didn’t get any run at receiver, nor did the BH/Anahuac transfer get much? Lots of kids played on defense but the offensive rotation was kind of tight for a scrimmage. Wright is really the only player that has been playing both ways in camp and the inter-squad scrimmage and got meaningful snaps both ways against Lamar.

Respect for the Spencer James reference lol

2 things... #1 here's a real VIP room #2 at this point i think id rather Ned's press box than what my taxes paid for.

You missed the most important thing . We got spencer James on our team . Meaning we got the best player on the field. But I can agree with you not being biased anybody can come in 4th including us that’s how hard this year gone be . But we not losing in district lol

Even if it is a scrimmage, holding Orangefield to 40 rushing yards on 34 carries is impressive.

I guess lumberton/buna was a barn burner

LCM only scored twice to my knowledge, but I could have missed one.

He has a kid that’s a freshman, and created an account to make that post. I guess his kid wasn’t one of the 6 and he’s a little salty….

Yeah, Freshman on varsity isn’t new at Ned. They are just grabbing at anything and hoping they are right.

Welp, the O line issues continue. They have 8 days to get it in some working order. I like how the 2nd teamers came in and performed well. Legacy kept their starting O in most of the night but played more kids on defense Again, for those in the back. Offesive line.....

And? They have had freshman playing on varsity in previous years. It’s a scrimmage. No guarantee they will be on varsity when the season starts.

Still 7-0 Vidor at the half CT here tonight watching from the end zone stands

Functionality is all that matters. Having big fancy VIP rooms that are at most filled 25% of it's capacity on a regular basis is a waste.

Was doing some research on football playing populations in the coverage area and see PAM has basically the same numbers as CE King while playing a class below. You would think they should be a lot more dominant? It can't just be facilities, coaching maybe? PAM - 887 CE King - 892

5:30 - 9th grade and JV 7:00 - Varisty

Great interview! I don’t necessarily agree the remark about there will be at least one good football team that doesn’t make the playoffs in this district and would be capable of winning another district… maybe some of the bottom teams have improved from last year but after Silsbee, Jasper, H-F, and WOS there is a significant difference in those other teams as far as being good. Some of the other teams may finish 3rd or 4th in another district but I have a hard time believing they would win one with the exception of maybe one of those out lying region 1 or 4 districts that’s just really weak.

Barbers Hill 3 6A Deer Park 0 25-21 25-17 25-13 The Eagles take it to the Houston Chronicle #8 Houston area ranked Deer for the 3rd year in a row

Wonder how this weekends results shakes up the 5A rankings. Seems like BH should be #1 after beating FW head to head.
