The players you stated are excellent players, no doubt. But, without being able to prove it, I have no doubt that any games these aforementioned players played in, WOS would have won with or without these players due to the coaching at WOS. As for the any players that went to the NFL from the other Orange County schools, as you will see, it really doesn't matter when trying to win a State Championship. Now, I’m sure there’s a possibility that the PN-G QB will play in the NFL. He was one of the best, if not the best QB in the State. That didn’t help PN-G. Jamaal Charles played in the NFL and it didn’t help Port Arthur. Joe Washington and Bobby Leopold played in the NFL and it didn’t help Lincoln. Cotton Speyrer played in the NFL and that didn’t help TJ. Now, let’s look on the other side of the coin. Look at Liberty Hill this year, I guess it’s possible, but I doubt there’ll be any NFL players coming from that bunch. They won State because they were well coached. Now, a little earlier: PN-G, 1975, coached by Doug Ethridge, won the State Championship with no NFL players (none I can recall). The next year PN-G played in the State Championship game again with no NFL players. The previous state champion from PN-G was in 1955. So, it took 20 years for another one. Now, this went through the 60’s. What – no talent in the 60’s? Well, let’s see. They had Greg Davis, Wade Phillips, Tommy Landry and Mike Simpson -- who did play in the NFL. But nothing happened during the 60’s of any consequence. Let’s move into the 70’s. 1971, 72, and 73, PN-G had a RB by the name of Jeff “The Jet” Bergeron. In 1972 and 73, he was one of the best, if not the best, RB in the State of Texas. In 1972, PN-G led the State in rushing. Nothing – they stayed home. 3 years later, Doug Ethridge was making a strong push to the State Championship. 4 years later PN-G won the State Championship. Previous to this, Ethridge won a State Championship at Hobbs, NM. Don’t know for a fact, but I also doubt there were any players that made it to the NFL from that team. So, the point is: although it doesn’t hurt, having these quality players you talked about isn’t totally necessary to get to Big Dance. But good coaching sure is!

Curious for your opinion: Why do you say it is?

There is a reason for this. It happens in most is not every classification.

Trust me, yours is coming. I just wanted to see other responses first.

The first two sentences can actually be separated. But I want to focus on the second one: Curious on your thoughts about this. Throughout the years, and we'll go back to WOS's inception, are you saying that WOS is the only school in Orange County that ever gets talent? And that the other schools never gets talent? If this is your thought -- why do you think this is?

Well if you count before the 1977 rule. Vidor and BC have already been to the state championship game. But yes I think LCM had one chance to make it all the way and they ran into Lamarque. I believe that Bridge City did make it to the state Semi in the early 2000 if my memory is correct. Coaching is a problem, but when you have superintendents that makes your defensive coordinator go sit in the box because he's yelling to much is also a problem. I don't think superintendents should be telling a head coach if you make it to one play off game and everything will be okay. Also to get a good coach you have to let the coaches coach from the fan base I agree with that. The kids have to be 100% in with working out and watch game film. Most kids in orange county are probably inside playing video games. Ok, you have piqued my interest. What's in the bold, tell us more about this. The other parts I tend to agree.

Good info. But -- has nothing to do with my post!

The article is about Orange County schools only. Who said anything thing about just our coverage area?? WOS hasn't reached 100 loses since 1977. The other schools have well over 200 loses since then.

There's one glaring fact: The coaching consistency of picking the right coach. WOS has yet to lose 100 games during this time frame. Every other school has doubled that. Again, are people going to try and convince us that since 1977 none of these other schools have had any talent that could bring a State Title or be in one? That WOS is the only one?! I guess if one strains real hard one could come to that conclusion! [Hidden Content]

Art Briles was interviewed on CBN. Art is a Christian man. He has 2 daughters. He ran clean problem at Baylor, according to Grant Teaff. Baylor gets "accused" of something, no facts yet, and all of a sudden Art Briles becomes the devil. Folks -- something doesn't sound right about this!! I'm sad for Baylor in this respect: Without any facts, they thought they needed scapegoats. And the two unfortunate ones were Art Briles and Ken Starr!

... yet the school investigated her sexual assault claims! [Hidden Content]

Art Briles has just taken his Italian team, Guelfi, to the Finals. This will be the first time in team history that they will be playing for the Championship. The Championship Game will be played Saturday, July 6. Again, it's amazing what a "good" coach can do for a team!
