My prayers and condolences go out to the Garrett family and our Mustang family.  Reggie was not only a great athlete and leader, but he was a very respectful and great kid.   :'(

[quote name="td" post="790061" timestamp="1271252478"] We will see. The way things are going I'm not so sure we will see. However I think we should see. Not sure Coach will be given the opportunity. I think if he isn't that it will be the biggest travesty ever at WOS sports. [/quote] Coach T not only has the greatest football knowledge on the defensive side of the football in the state of Texas, but he is also one of the best disciplinarians I have ever played for. Ask any teacher at the high school about the students' behavior while he was at Palestine.  I GUARANTEE there is not one teacher that will tell you the students acted in the same manner when he was/is there. I am against the superintendent/school board making up this position.  If it is for academics only, there is no need.  Maybe the other coaches need to instill an academic "program" like the football team uses.  I would bet the farm the failure rate for football players is a lot lower than every other sport.  Some may say football players are "handed" their grades, but that is not true. On the other hand, my gut feeling is the superintendent wants someone with a little power other than a football coach.  IMO he probably thinks the football program trumps all other athletics.

I know the 8th grade teams were undefeated. What is really surprising is that not a single point was scored against either the A or B team.... This year's 9th grade group will have some studs.

You see, that is why WO-S is so different and that is what many of the WO-S posters have been trying to say. You just proved the point. Many of the parents could care less about their kids. Why punish the kids because of this?

I added a little more. See here.

td, if you would run for school board you would get my vote, along with many others I would bet. Seriously, that board member needs to be ran off. He clearly has no interest in the kids. How many students have their college paid for because of athletics? Would these same students be able to afford college without athletics? I would be interested in knowing how many of the school board members actually visit the schools and see how things are going and how often...... This is not directed at EVERY member on the board, but the majority. I know there is at least one member that is in touch with what goes on at the schools. As for the buses being cut off, I nominate the board members to sit with the athletes that wait on their ride when practice is over. What if their ride doesn't show up? Should the coaches be able to call the board members and get them to bring the kids home? Also, just to add to that, how many football players failed? I would bet the farm that the failure rate of athletes is way lower than students not involved in athletics. Why is that? Because even if an athlete has an A, you can guarantee that he/she is in tutorials EVERY DAY.

Gilmer is very good. IMO, what will win the game for us is discipline. They dropped quite a few passes against Mexia and their secondary is suspect. Diboll had receivers open all night a couple of weeks ago, they just couldn't complete them. We will complete those passes.

2-1 isn't bad against Giddings....... I love when people make predictions that haven't even seen us or Gilmer play. : This is not directed at ozensfinest, just something I have noticed here on the board.

Heck, they had 62 at the half. They didn't score a single point in the second half. They probably had band members in the game in the second half, lol. That is very impressive, IMO. Tatum must have been terrible.

So taking away the "big plays," WO-S had 186 yards of offense. (I didn't count the 15-yard pass to Steen a big play.) You can't count on the big plays and defensive scores once you get into the playoffs. Those teams won't make the mistakes we have been seeing lately. I couldn't believe my eyes when we didn't line up in the Power I on the first possession when we were on the goal line that ended with the missed field goal that hit the crossbar.

That is what scares me. I want to see the stats from last night. I want to see how many yards we had MINUS the big plays....... The offense never got going IMO. We didn't move the ball very well except for the big plays. But you have to give the BC defense credit. They were decent against the run and were surprisingly quick to the ball. They were all over Quinny all night.

I hate rankings. They just put a target on your back and give you the "big-head." IMHO, we are not the #1 team in the state at this point. Don't get me wrong though, the talent and potential are there to be deserving of the ranking.

This is football, not golf. It is not like he called him on his cell phone during the middle of the game.

Right click on the video and select "Zoom -> Full Screen." Works for me.

Each person on here would have done something differently if they were the OC. What worked in the first half didn't work in the second half. If we would have ran different plays in the second half, everyone would be asking "why veer away from what was working?" La Vega made the corrections with their defense during the half. Our coaches didn't fumble twice in the 4th quarter..... And I will be the first to say that WO-S has the worst fan base out of any school in the area. The crowd was a little better last night though. These kids go through the toughest offseason in the state busting their tails for your entertainment. On crucial 3rd and 4th downs, I bet less than half of the crowd is on their feet. Is that any way to cheer these kids on? What a selfish group of fans. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE PLAY CALLING, GET SOME GUTS, GO TO SCHOOL, AND GET A COACHING JOB! But WO-S probably wouldn't waste the time even looking at your applications. Congrats to the WO-S players for an excellent season. You all have exceeded expectations this season. I am very proud of you guys. Work hard in the offseason and make us proud again next year.
