HOOOOOOOLY COW!!!!! That storm was unreal nasty. If those were 80 mile an hour winds, I am sure glad I wasn't here to witness Rita. I am in Orange and we have no power. I'm on my battery on laptop and sitting in my car listening to the radio. They are saying 100,000 people without power. Do not know when we may get power back. Hope it will be soon. For the guy who asked, Orange was hit pretty hard. Lot's of debris, fallen trees, limbs etc. My yard is littered with it. I heard about the death in BC. A guy was under his carport watching the storm and it collapsed on him. This storm came in the same way Rita did. The wind was blowing the same direction.

They are very good. They have a couple of kids who could probably play on the varsity. One for sure...

Some of those students are due to the North Early Learning Center which is a special needs school. Not all though. The school has seen an increase no matter what, which is great news.

LCM's enrollment has been on a steady decline also, just not as fast as WO-S. BC and OF are the only schools who have actually grown and very little at that.

Several NFL teams run a variation of the spread offense in certain situations. The spread is a great offense between the 10's. Like any offense, the effectiveness is determined by the personnel running it. I think that any team should have multiple offensive sets. In this day and age you can't be an "I" only or a spread only. The tempo of the game should dictate what you run. No offense can make up for bad play calling.

That guy is not a WOS fan. I don't think you've seen anyone from WOS say anything other than it sucked for both teams.

Man, I hope not!!

I have a feeling there will be a little more scoring this week, Mo.

The reports that I'm getting say that they will put the ball in the air often. They have a pretty good receiver who can go get it. They have not run the ball much the first couple of games which is surprising to me. Bay City has always had a stud RB. They have not played very well on defense as noted by the 2 weeks straight of giving up over 30 points. They were supposed to be really good on the defensive side as they had several kids returning. I think they will get better. Either way, they always play us tough and I expect nothing different this time.

Bay City is 0-2 with losses to Waller (33-28) and St Pius (33-27).

BH is 1-1. Definitely no need to throw in the towel. They lost to a much improved Jasper team that scored 2 TD's and a safety on defense, right? I think they are OK. Congrats to Jasper. Things appear to be looking up!

Many thought an 0-3 start was a real possibility (including myself). I think we are WAY ahead of where we hoped we would be. Whether we struggled or not, we still won which is monumental for a young team. I think we're alright.

These stats can't be right.

I disagree in part with this. While I do agree that we were having our way tonight with the Power-I. That was THIS game. That doesn't mean we should abandon our offense and be a Power I team. We had the matchups up front tonight to be successful. That does not need to become OUR OFFENSE. We need to go out, game by game and stick with what works. I don't think we will have the same matchups against Bay City to run the I. We might, but we can't just decide that's what we are going to do from here on out.

I thought the Bears played an inspired game. The playing conditions hampered both running and passing games. Neither team could make cuts at all. I thought the soaked field neutralized the WO-S speed advantage and the Bears did their best with it. WO-S has to stop the turnovers. I'm sure we had at least 5 of them. LCM didn't have as many (2, I think) but the first one was crushing because it happened on the WO-S 1 yard line. WO-S had several of theirs deep in Bear territory as well. I think the Bears will compete for a playoff spot. They are very quick on defense and I thought their DB's did a really good job in coverage. The WO-S TD was just an athlete making a play because the LCM defender was in position, Josh just went up and took it. The only weakness I really saw from them is that they were a little weak up the middle. As someone said before, WO-S was getting 7-8 yards per carry running out of the Power - I and abandoned it. As for a comparison with Dayton. They are very similar on defense and both have good QB's. Dayton does not have a running back that can compare to Salter (he is much bigger than I remember him being). LCM has some good receivers too. They are probably pretty even in that department because Dayton has Dugat. Overall, I would say they are pretty close to equal.

Yes

Are you trying to suggest that WO-S and LCM have the same issues? They are at completely different ends of the socioeconomic spectrum. Middle class kids and lower middle class/ impoverished kids have complelety different environments. If you don't know this then you aren't as informed as you pretend to be. Before you even mention it, I have read where you say "similar", what I'm telling you is that they aren't even close. Fact- middle class kids, on average, perform better on state standardized testing (look it up) Fact- lower middle class kids, on average, perform worse on standardized tests (look it up) Fact- when you have an equal or greater number of middle class kids, your state standardized test scores balance out and determine the success/failure of your overall average. When the middle class begins to leave, the test average begins to decline as the number of middle class gets smaller (which in turn causes the lower middle class/impoverished to get higher). This is a common occurence that is happening in different areas all over the state (again, look it up) not just in Orange TX. In the 80's and early 90's WO-S scores were competitive with any school around here. As the middle class started to vanish, so did it's performance in standardized test scores. Many of the teachers that were at the school then are still there. My question to you is, did they just decide to quit doing their job? Of course not. It's a social occurence that they have no control over. Teachers at WO-S bust their tails to provide these children with a quality education, and, as another parent with a child at WO-S High School, I'm telling you that they are doing a GREAT job. If you choose to send your children to LCM then more power to you. LCM is a good school, no question. Just don't try to take a dump on the school that my child is at in the process. Everyone knows that a standardized test average is not the end all, be all, of a schools ability to educate a child and your reference to that as being cause to evacuate is weak at best.

115 yards rushing, 3 TD's 62 yards passing Thanks for the props too. ;D

As for the game, I think it will be tough. LCM will be up and ready to play. Rivalry games are hard to pick.

Yet another shining example...

Read the entire thread. It was started because one of your boys popped off about our ability to fill stands just because a guy said we needed to get there early due to seating. Then he decided to advise someone about how much they need to exercise. Of course, you read it how you want, you will anyway...

Quinton Tezeno was probably the hardest hitter from WO-S that I ever saw or played with. He does have 2 boys (Bubba and Dominic). Both of them play football and they are both good athletes (especially the younger one). I think one is in the 6th grade and the other is in the 3rd. Both very good kids.

1.) Dayton 2.) Central 3.) Nederland Seen Dayton and Central. Both played on wet fields and both were first games. Yes, Central will get better, but so will Dayton. I think Dayton has the "X" factor in Green and Central lost theirs to graduation. After watching the LEE QB, I don't think Central will be capable of stopping him. Just my assessment.

Probably Thursday.

Probably didn't notice because I like Dayton... 77's attitude is a shining example of what I DON'T like about (some) LCM folks.
