[quote name="TrickyRicky" post="1030630" timestamp="1312307228"] Sorry to hurt your feelings, didn't know West Orange Stark people were so sensitive. [/quote] No hurt feelings.  Just noting that folks usually take 20-30 posts to reach the obnoxious levels you achieved with your very first post.

[quote name="TrickyRicky" post="1030573" timestamp="1312297659"] Correct spelling.............Mustangs.........Must have graduated from West Orange! [/quote] Very cute.  Your first post is to: 1) join the spelling and grammar police, 2) rag on a staff member and; 3) disparage the education of a large number of board members. I will make one prediction, your stay here will not be long!

Thanks to Coach Melissa Martin at Sabine Pass for the Lady Sharks' schedule.

[quote name="ljeicp08" post="1030344" timestamp="1312226518"] KFDM's coverage area is endless... we stream all of our newscasts on our website, and we stream them on all smart phone devices... here are the sites [Hidden Content] (under construction before the 5p.m.) [Hidden Content] - Smart Phone We will also stream the Tailgate Party each week... so if you're driving home from the game, you can watch it on your cell phone!

Hey Lance.  Any chance that Mike's sportscast can be put on line for those of us who are interested in seeing it yet are a WEE BIT outside of Channel 6's coverage area?

[/quote] Sadly, I believe that is correct for WO-S.  As I stated during the hiring process of Coach Thompson, I don't know that it would be fair to lay these results at the feet of Mr. Hill or Superintendent Colbert as Mr. Hill was hired on literally days before the start of the 2010-2011 school year and Superintendent Colbert was hired even later.  BUT (and this probably comes as no surprise to either of them), they ARE NOW ON THE CLOCK! [/quote] Sadly, rarely is it the school administration, teachers or anyone else involved with the schools fault. Usually the blame rest at home. Kids sit in the same class listening to the same teacher say the same thing about the same subject. One fails and one passes. The one who passes often has family support and a emphasis is put on education at home. The one who fails often may not have much of a family life much less family support. The errosion of the family is often to blame. I went to open house when one my kids was young and asked the techer if there was anything I needed to be aware of and she said " oh no, you really din't even need to come tonight; The parents that need to be here never show up and the ones who show up don't need to be here". I guess that kind of sums it up. [/quote] Johnny, for the most part I agree with you.  But in the case of West Orange-Stark High, I believe that change within the administration will bring some needed change as the former principal was as apathetic as some of the parents you reference.  In fact, he saw WO-S more as a type of e-harmony.com rather than a high school.

@pngindians_com, @kellyhsfootball, @neddogs

Start of two a days. Key word for the day gentlemen, HYDRATE!

And the Astros paid the Braves $2 million for this trade?  Let's see one weekend, two starters, three million dollars.  Is that what is required of a major league GM?  I can do that!

Congratulations, Pastor Rose. 360, the last I saw on the CCS website, he was principal.  Will he have to relinquish that now that he is senior pastor?

Mike Friedman will have West Orange-Stark head coach Cornel Thompson and Nederland head coach Larry Neumann on KFDM Channel 6's Sports Xtra tonight at 10:20 p.m. to talk some high school football.

Remedy has been exercised.

The 1970 Hebert Panthers were 8-1-1 in 21-4A.

Even as a graduate of West Orange-Stark, I have to admit that the letters that define the best football tradition in SETX are: P,N and G.
