I'm trying to find an emoticon with a little hand that pats on the back.... good job ST85

We have schools in our district that may only lose 2 games in district and they will NOT make the playoffs, yet someone with 2 or less wins WILL go? EDITED: I read another post that shows when the season is over, they will have won 4 games, so...my bad...

But the band got some snazzy looking ones...they wore them last week.

I didn't see anything in her post that said WOS was the only school that has pride. Matter of fact, I didn't see the word pride in her statement. No one has cut you down or the Jasper program. We feel we are going to win, you feel your team is going to win. That's that. I have never seen a post by S4L where she has cut another team down. Get a grip and quit reading words that aren't there into a post.

There was a player on the baseball team several years back. Was in a vehicle ON campus with another player. One player was caught drinking. Other was guilty by association. Coach told them if they really wanted to play---500 laps around the baseball field. One made it, the other didn't. I personally know the one who made it is a fine young man with a good, steady job today. I do not know anything about the other. I do not know if the punishment made a difference in the young man's life, but I know that he paid for his mistake and I respect his perserverance and determination to make up amends. However, he missed out on practices that the other guys had. He could not participate until he ran his laps. The coach did not want to allow him into practice in case he didn't make it (then he wouldn't have taken up someone else's spot). I was proud of him for making it up.

The Mustangs will not only win Friday night...they will dominate. It IS a rival and the 'Stangs have something to prove, too!

There was a player arrested at WOS. The police came during football practice and made him undress on the field. They had the news crew there, everything. It was a blatant attempt to discredit the player and the entire football team. They had "proof" (a video) of the kid on the street corner (I think supposedly buying drugs or something). Anyway, the date they had on the video.....WRONG.....the kid was on the bus with the team going on an out of town trip. Someone tried to "doctor" a tape with a particular date and it back-fired. I'm not saying the kid wasn't guilty of doing something wrong at one time or another, he just wasn't guilty on THAT date!

How about we let the season play out before we jump the gun on MVP?

[ I agree that we have improved immensley. Especially on defense AND our kicking game. It was very nice seeing a field goal. Hopefully this will give our young kicker the confidence to go out there and do it some more.

What a lot of people tend to forget is that WOS has always been about defense anyway. The only exception was two years ago with Beasley. Granted, I know that we need points on the board to win, but defense has always been the rock that the Mustang tradition has been built on. Let's just key on that and the wins will come...they have been coming this year. Not trying to make excuses but even though the Bay City game should not have been lost, it probably shouldn't have even been played. The Mustangs only had one truly good workout that week because of Humberto. They had Monday off because they weren't playing until Saturday, they had a workout on Tuesday, (maybe they had one on Wednesday, I don't remember) then were out of school the rest of the week. They were only able to have a light run-through on Friday. I would like to play Bay City again (like college...you fail the class, then take it again the next semester and wipe that grade out) this year, but there aren't do-overs in football. Only looking forward and learning from our mistakes. I think we have improved since then.....

You're kiddin', right? How the heck can you speak for WOS fans? And what the heck do we have to be jealous of PNG about? I guess we can start counting...."We have more state championships than you"...."nana, nana boo boo". Gimme a break....I don't think you really want to go there with that. That being said, good luck to the NDNS on the rest of their season...

Why don't you just stop? you just have absolutely no class.....that's why you aren't at WOS anymore.

I don't know about ya'll, but I get so fired up when we stop a team on 4th down. And especially at the end zone...I mean, Silsbee was there at like 2nd down and we pushed them back and then held them. It's just amazing to me to see our kids fight that hard and win....I LOVE MUSTANG FOOTBALL!

That happened to us one year, except it was more extensive damage. It was the week of the LCM vs. WOS game and we were playing at WOS. They wrote everywhere with spray paint. WOS police went to WalMart, looked at video to see who had recently purchased spray paint and caught all 5 or 6 of them. Only fired the Mustangs up, though. The coaches walked all of the players by the damage on their way to the buses before the game and said, "This is what they did to your school. Are you going to let them disrespect you and your school like that?" It was not a pretty sight at the Battlin' Bear stadium that night.

I don' know wat game you were watching, but the officiating sucked, in my opinion. I saw a couple of facemasks on Pootie that were not called; Silsbee held often and only one call (that we declined); they were TERRIBLE at marking the ball and...oh YEAH....HOW ABOUT THE FUMBLE THAT THEY GAVE BACK TO SILSBEE THAT WE OBVIOUSLY RECOVERED? APPARENTLY THEY CALLED HIM DOWN 5 YARDS BACK WHEN EVEN RAY CHARLES SAW HE FUMBLED THE BALL BEFORE HE WAS TACKLED. Whereas, we DID stop them from scoring that drive, that is not the point. The refs gave Silsbee every opportunity to win the game....

Why wouldn't he want PAM to succeed? It's his reputation on the line.....not sure I buy that rumor. I don't understand the punt though. I would think a team would go for it, as well. I'm not a coach, though (and I didn't see the game). Good luck next week PAM.

Forgive me, 'cause I'm not following this very well......They punted on the other side of the 45?

A few surprises there (in bold), in my opinion.

With a knick-knack patty-whack, Give a 'Dog a bone.... Mustangs keep on rolling home..... Musstangs by 14.

Did they play tonight or are they still on Tuesday nights?

This was my bad....I went back and looked at the score and it was closer than I thought. 20-14. Not exactly a "whoopin'", but I'm glad they won. lol

Yeah, and when the majority of the officials don't particularly care for your team, then that margin of error gets bigger...with a yard or two here, a foot or two there....could make the difference in a fourth and one stance for both sides of the ball and a difference in the outcome of the game....I saw it against Bay City. Not trying to whine, here....just calling it like I saw it. Beaumont officials won't even call our games.

Thanks for the update!!!! Looks like that was a close one. I saw the Freshmen really whooped up on them. I hear the Freshman QB is awesome. Haven't seen him play yet this year. Gotta make one of those games.....
