Boneyard Boys

Could be a chance Vidor moves the opposite way and goes back up along with Lumberton since we were both very close to the cutoff last time. I think we got a lot of Louisiana refugees moving in from the Hurricanes over there but we’ll see, I’m sure the cutoff number will increase again. I hope they keep us right here for a little while, we’re just getting settled in and comfortable.

I bet Randy White was a problem in high school.

I'll take it but I'm still worried about HH, they have the same QB and he really did a number on us last year.

That was a very special team to me, watching that video brings back so many memories of the 2012 Vidor Pirates. You see #28 Matt Thomas playing linebacker, he died shortly after that game. They dedicated the season to him and made a nice playoff run. They would stop to kneel and pray at the 28 yard line every time they came out of the tunnel after being led out by Matt’s father holding the Pirate flag. They scored 28 points to win the first game following his death to honor him. His little brother Celly was moved up to varsity and wore his jersey the rest of the season. [Hidden Content] MQ, Bolinger, Godeaux, Stevenson and Novak in the backfield with Brentyn Clark leading the way and John Boy Smith at TE. Stout defense led by MQ, Bryce Cooper, Quinten Whitmire and Alex Boutte. Even yours truly making an appearance in the video when the camera pans the home crowd stands. 🏴‍☠️

Love it! That’s where I got my profile pic from. It’s a shame old Chevy couldn’t cut it at UT but he and Montana went blow for blow in that game. Chevoski got ran off by the iron fist of Charlie Strong, along with half of the Longhorn program and Montana went on a mission.

Well yea but I heard she is a beast in the trenches and when she is pulling you better keep your head on a swivel.

North Forney and Irving are not exactly in the same neighborhood but they are both near Dallas so it just goes to show that big time athletes are targeting this area. Are they specifically coming to WOS, idk anybody else getting players from DFW? Possibly but they are probably the only school around here with enough clout to bring in some prospects. I’m sure they have a cousin, aunt or unc who lives around here, might even need to take care of Grandmama.

I know a few that could have done a lot better at LCM if they were worried about their personal success over the team mentality and I know some did make that move. I even know of one player that actually came to Vidor from another school and he was really good for us back in the day.

Well I didn’t think about that but you’re right. He probably doesn’t want to execute a bunch of fake handoffs before he gets to run or throw.

My guess is somebody from West Orange promised him the world and did not deliver. I wouldn’t doubt it at all because WOS best basketball player last season came from a transfer. Was he from the same area? They are starting to figure out the game over there, it won’t just be local movement anymore. We will be playing by Dallas and Houston rules around here before long.

Does he have any eligibility left after this season? Is he still a free agent or committed? Vidor needs players like this, WOS does not.

This should keep the tears flowing…

You were probably thinking of Raider Girl.

Figured I’d tie this topic in, for those of you that enjoy pain and suffering. WOS fans are truly a special group of people.

What is this all about? I can’t believe I read all of this…. but now I’m hooked and can’t wait to see where the story is going. 🍿 We got magical football fields and rainbows, if the WOS mascot turns into a Unicorn I’m going to lose my damn mind. 🦄

Old timer was onto something…

You’re right about that, we’ve left a hole lot of points on the field. Our turnover differential is bad (don’t know what it is but bad would probably describe it accurately) it would not indicate an undefeated record. A lot of the fumbles I have seen have been inside the other teams red zone, so yea we gotta hold onto the football like last week.

Now I’m thinking. 1. Vidor 2. LCM 3. Lumberton 4. HH 2/3 playing for positioning this week but I think LCM will get it done. 5. Livingston 6. Splendora

Looking at making some revisions here, this thing has gotten shaken up drastically after just 2 weeks of district play. The Pirates are now sitting in the drivers seat with the Raiders riding shotgun. I thought they’d both be sitting in the back seat constantly asking ‘Are we there yet?’ Buckle your seatbelt the ride could get bumpy ahead.

And then the top two eventually meet up in later rounds but how far along into the playoffs would that be theoretically?

Believe me we did too but we couldn’t get it together last season and caught 0 good breaks but you make your own luck I guess. I’ve watched the ball bounce our way this year and it’s a beautiful thing to see. I think coach went to watch Liberty Hill I believe it was a few years ago and implemented some of their off-season strength and conditioning workouts here in Vidor. I don’t think the kids really bought in last year, they just got through it but it stuck with the younger group and you are seeing the fruits of that labor now. These guys play hard for all 4 quarters and it makes sense because it usually takes a few years to see the results of a program like that. I still miss watching those great games vs PNG and Ned every year.

Thanks, it has been fun so far. I’m glad I have been following this team so closely but I have to admit I thought we would struggle this year. We graduated so many good players from last season but these guys have surprised a lot of people. The game that got cancelled (twice) would have helped, they could easily be sitting at 7-0 right now.

Vidor needs to keep taking care of their business but they will probably need someone in the top 10 to lose if they hope to get recognized in 4A D1. Although if the Pirates keep winning it will be hard to keep an undefeated team out of the rankings over some of the 2 loss teams in there.

Congrats, kid is a cold blooded killer on the hardwood. Don't know how I ended up here (been lurking hard on the football forum) but came across this and think it's awesome for all involved. Will definitely keep up with TA's progress to the league I hope, now back to the football boards we got something special going on in the V.

It’s Homecoming 2021 so… Why not? ✌️✌️
