Is Central running the Wishbone again this year?

Japer ran the spread nearly the entire game against WOS. Definitely caught us off guard.

Yeah I think they need some more diversity on offense. They showed a few wrinkles against WO-S so I am sure they are putting in more all the time. So Jasper did not run the spread at all against Silsbee?

Amazing...

Royal had 159 total 65 rush 94 pass WOS 253 total 160 rush 93 pass Pretty close to what I tought. I knew we wouldn't have a ton of yards due to the fact that our kicking game and defense kept them pinned down all night and gave us a short field. While I'm on the kicking game. It looked better than it has all season. You can tell our little kicker has been working hard and Haynes did a great job punting.

LOL... That's all I can say...

you guys will eventually get another win but it wont be next friday! like you and i have discussed in previous threads you make sure you dont disappear after the game! WOS may win. Then again. They may not. WOS will have to do it on the field. You cant win it for them by talkin smack on here. ;D ;D ;D ...and that goes both ways...

Venom, with all due respect. Of all the teams in this district we will face, Silsbee included. OF's offense will be the most difficult for us to stop. Mark my words.

OK, thanks.

Last night we started showing what I've thought this team was capable of. We still have places to improve, but this game was miles better than the last time they took the field. I was very worried about his game because of the BR speed and the fact that their 1-3 record is misleading. Had we not come out and played we could have easily lost that game. They took state ranked Bellville to OT last week and put 37 points on Sealy. I am proud of the boys reaction to adversity. I'd bet that their offense didn't have 150 yards total offense and maybe 50 rushing. Great job overall.

Only one game for WOS this week: WOS 7th "B" team- 44 Legacy Christian 8th- 0 7th grade A & B teams are a combined 5-0 and have scored a combined 190 points and given up 0.

Does Silsbee 7th have an A&B team? That will e great if they do because WOS does too and would be good if they can have those games.

td gave his opinion way back on something like 4 or 5. Or maybe it was 7 or 8. Definitely somewhere between 3 and 10... :

Mr Ryker, since you know so much, why don't you break down exactly what control over this situation you think Hooks has. Give us some examples of things he can do. I dont know, I am not an AD or am I even going to prented I am. I just know that at every other program I have been involved with the AD is in charge of all althletics and what goes on with athletics inlcuding the volleyball program. If this is not the case at WOS and he is not capable of handling such a situation then let me know and Ill gladly retract my statments. I just assumed he was, thanks. There are 4 different school organizations involved in this situation. Three he has no control over, and as far as I know, no AD has control over the Band, Drill Team or Cheerleaders. The one of the 4 that he can affect is the Volleyball team. Now, you made some pretty bold statements in your post above... Don't cower down now. YOU tell us what he can do with the volleyball program to control this situation. Keep in mind that this is a highschool, not a prison, and all participation is voluntary... voluntary means you have a choice to decide which one you participate in. With that in mind, please proceed...

Ha Ha... Nice!

This is the first thing I thought about while reading all 12 pages of this topic. While I agree with many that it appears to be a commiment issue with these girls and their parents, one in which I personally do no agree with. This should not be used by those involved in this thread to take a shot at Hooks. This is not his choice, not his responsibility and not something that he can force, contrary to what the "nay sayers" want to say. Dan Hooks has no authority over the Band, Drill Team or the Cheerleaders. He cannot tell them that they are not allowed to participate at this game from that perspective, it's not even his business. That being said, he COULD have influence from the standpoint of the Volleyball team. Yes, he could probably even force them to quit or not allow them back, but as said above, you go from one forfeit to 7 and those 3 girls are not just getting screwed out of one game, but the rest of their season. If I were Dan, I would leave it up to the VB coach. She knows what's best for her team better than anyone. The bottom line is that this is a poor decision (in my opinion) on the part of the girls and parents.

Don't forget Kirbyville, too.

I did not know that Cleveland runs the Wing-T. ???

Every team in this district will have trouble stopping OF's offense. If they do improve on defense, they get in.

Yeah, I don't think they question the rule. They know they should have had it.

The MPR issue was a situation where the WOS team did not keep one. Apparently, it had not been requested of them yet this season and the guy who was supposed to keep up with it didn't. The kids that were supposed to pay did, they just didn't keep the sheet. One of the mothers thought her child wasn't in enough and began shouting at the coaches. The other teams coaches over heard this and requested the sheet after the game was over and, of course, WOS didn't have it. However, the mom was incorrect and her son had played his 10 plays. I think the WOS team will be sure to keep up with this sheet from now on.

Just a question here, but how do you make a team "ease up" or better yet, how do you define that? Do you kneel the ball on every offensive play? Do you tell your RB's or QB that, if they see open field, fall down? Being someone who has coached a little, I'm just wondering because there are times that you sub out kids who have never even carried the ball in a game and they even score. Sometimes, it can't be helped. I think it's a bit ridiculous to automatically throw out the "running up the score" card. Sometimes, you just have so much more talent or speed that you either score or risk further embarassment for your opponent by kneeling the ball on first, second or third downs. This happens a lot in the youth leagues where that can be a huge difference in a teams abilities. I'm not trying to stir the pot either, and I also don't have a child in this league, but I do read these pages all of the time and I think some folks are way to quick to throw out that a team "ran up the score". There are rules for a lopsided score Gas, that's the best way to keep it respectable. Noboby expects anybody to kneel, that's a ridiculous comment and you know that. If you want to discuss more, PM me. I will start this by saying that I'm glad everyone has said their piece now and have come to an understanding. After reading everything, it appears some things were taken out of context and some jokes between people were misunderstood. TD and WOS 92 are very good friends of mine and I do get offended when I see accusations made about their team. They have a ton of talent and sometimes you just can't help but score. Now Penny, for you in particular. I realize the kneeling statement was ridiculous, it was intended to be. But, it is no more ridiculous than the incessant accusations of running up the score and even more directly, your insinuation that it is something that the WOS team does on a regular basis. The team we speak of is loaded with talent and speed. They have kids who rarely touch the ball that would start for most teams. Sometimes, it's just going to happen, that doesn't mean the coaches have some sort of malice or are breaking the rules. I assure you that those coaches know, because of the ability of their team and the potential for games to get out of hand, that they are under a microscope and go above and beyond to make sure that all I's are dotted and T's are crossed. That being said

BR has played Bellville and Sealy tough. They will not be a pushover. WOS will have to come ready to play. Hopefully, some things have been worked out over the break.

Good post Freak! Way to go Coach!
