Gasilla

WOW!!! I thought this game would be much closer. The JV is 3-0 against some solid opponents and most of the kids are Sophomores. Varsity should be OK next year...

From what I understand, the Bear JV has 17 Juniors. That's quite a lot for a 4A program. Good turn out.

You cannot get it done consistently through the air only, you have to be able to run it a little. If Dayton uses that big line and runs the ball with the QB and Dugat and uses the clock, they win.

BC is going to come ready to play us, you can bet on that. Even though we're not very close in proximity, we've developed a pretty good rivalry over the years.

No it wasn't, it was a sub... and she wasn't from WO-S.

Thank God Driver is OK. I was very worried for that young man. I thought that Moody's approach to the game was pretty smart. He knew that, that was probably the only way he was going to win. By limiting our possessions and trying to keep it close until late, he may have been able to wear us out and pull out the win. You have to respect the man for HAVING a game plan and sticking to it. However, it seems the WO-S players were just better conditioned, again. It looked to me like the Bears started running out of gas about midway through the 3rd.

I can see where Cat22 is coming from with his prediction. I'm definitely not trying to offend anyone with this posting, but my thoughts on the teams are as follows: WO-S- looking pretty strong on both sides, has performed well in both scrims and beat a very good Dayton team to start the season. Ofield- has a lot returning this year and has looked good in scrims and beat Buna handily even though they didn't play as well as they would have liked. Kirbyville- performed really well in both scrims against solid teams, then blew out a playoff team from last year in first game. Silsbee- they will be the "X-factor", really hard to guage them, my instincts tell me they will be a force. They looked real good against Ned, but I wonder how good Ned is without Mosely. Then they did not do as well against Lumberton. They may be the "which team will show up" team of the district. Jasper- sorry Jasper fans, but I think Jasper is going to be down this year, all year. I think they will be inconsistent like most young teams are. I don't think they will make the playoffs. I hope I'm wrong because when Jasper does well, we usually do too. I think they will take their lumps this year, then be one of the best in the district next year. BC- I don't think they will be a playoff contender just because they are so young and I don't think Dishon can do it all himself. The defense is going to be a problem, IN MY OPINION. I don't think he has a good enough supporting cast on offense. HF- may surprise some teams, I didn't exect them to beat Splendora. They are going to come ready to play every Friday. HJ- don't really know, haven't paid that much attention to them. I know they won Friday, but who did they play?

Very pleased... but we need a kicker. Does anyone out there know a kid who goes to WO-S and can kick? All soccer players are welcome!

Why didn't they just bring back the MO' BEAR MAGIC. At leat that was original.

I don't mean this just because it is LCM, I would feel the same if it were anyone... but, I would be freakin embarrassed to support a team that not only uses such a dorky battle cry, but one that has been ripped off from another successful school. And yes, just because it's "BOJO" instead of "MOJO" it's still a rip off. If your going to come up with a retarded battle cry. At least make it your own. Geez, that's freaking hilarious...

Wow, Kirbyville is going to be a team to be reckoned with... I was also impressed with their showing during their scrimmages.

As I said a couple of days ago, if we did get beat it definitely WOULD NOT be because we ran out of gas. Typical Cornel Thompson team. Dayton didn't lay down in the second half, they were wore out. The main reason why we only suit out 26 players is because our off season and two a days are HELL. There just aren't many kids that can hack it. We lost a big lineman that we were counting on for that very reason. I was very impressed with the Dayton team. I think they will at least get a playoff spot and I wouldn't count them out of being the district champ. This is the best Dayton team I've seen. I think WO-S has a very special group of kids this year. Coach Hooks, after the game, gave them tomorrow off and they declined, they wanted to come in and practice... that's AWESOME!

Guys, remember, we're hearing one side of the story. I'M NOT AT ALL SAYING DAYTON DID ANYTHING WRONG, but it would be interesting to hear it from the Magnolia coaches perspective too. It's hard to imagine another head coach acting this way without more provocation than what has been portrayed here.

Is this game televised?

We have our starting tackle who quit for a couple of weeks and is now back but having to pay his dues to get back on the varsity. He is 6'2" and 270 lb. We also have another lineman who was supposed to be back this year from knee injury, but the doctor would not release him who is 6'4" and 300 lb. When you add those 2 we WOULD have been huge. We are still bigger than we usually are, but losing these 2 hurt our overall size some.

Kick(miss)er is in Colorado this week and will not be attending our first game. It's eating him alive... I know my cell will be blowing up Friday night. :wink:

I will say this, if WO-S loses it WILL NOT be because of conditioning. Yes, we have players going both ways, but the kids that are going both ways have been doing it for along time and have been through a HELL of a two a days, not to mention the long 7 on 7 season where most of them went both ways in 100 + degree heat. They will be playing Friday night in the "cooler" air. They will be ready physically. If we lose, it will be because we just got beat, not because we ran out of gas. One more thing, while I understand the point central is making and I agree to a certain point that things would be difficult. I also feel (know) that Dayton could lose to WO-S and still run the table in the 4A district. WO-S is just as good, if not better, than any team 22 4A will put on the field this year.

I agree with you Matt. I think this game will be close and someone will make a mistake (turn over, botched punt, missed extra point) that will determine who wins. Good luck to you guys Friday and be safe.
