Orangefield prepares for 'best winless team in state' By JIMMY GALVAN According to Orangefield head football coach Blake Morrison, his Bobcats will play "the best winless team in the state of Texas" this week. Unfortunately for Bulldog fans, he's talking about Jasper as the Bobcats will visit the Bone Yard for the first time in this Friday's second district contest. "They talk about getting that first win of the season and sometimes that is the hardest one to get," said Jasper head football coach Danny Lauve. "And right now, we are just looking for anything positive. Once that happens, there is a possibility of us getting on a roll. "Once that happens for us, it could be trouble down the road for other teams," Lauve said. Morrison said district opponents should throw out Jasper's 0-4 start and take a close look at the Bulldogs. "They are a good football team," Morrison said. "They have played some tough opponents and do a great job defensively. Offensively, they have suffered a lot of bad breaks but they have a good recipe for a good team there." Morrison said there is no chance his Bobcats would overlook an 0-4 Jasper team. "We don't have the luxury of overlooking anybody," Morrison said. "We go into each game as if it was a determining game for us to make the playoffs. "Jasper is good, plus we have to play them at their place," Morrison said. Lauve sees a "sound football team" in Orangefield. "They are a well-coached team," Lauve said. "They are not great athletes but they won't beat themselves by lining up wrong. They are going to be at the right spot at the right time." Orangefield dropped a 35-27 decision to Silsbee in their district opener. Two Bobcat turnovers late in the fourth quarter sealed their fate. "We had too many turnovers," Morrison said. "It was a good game but a disappointing loss. We played as well as we could offensively" Leading the Bobcat attack this season is threeyear starter at quarterback Brett Ramsey. The Bobcats return 11 starters from last year's 4-4 squad. "Orangefield has a chance to make things happen," Lauve said. "We're going to have to use ball control and quit making mistakes." Mistakes like fumbling the ball in their own end zone and allowing opponents to recover the loose ball for six points. Kirbyville's first score of the night came when a direct snap to quarterback Timiti Cauley was fumbled and recovered by Kirbyville's LeKarlis Diggles. "It is one of those deals when you just want to start the game over," Lauve said. Morrison believes his Bobcats will have to play a complete game to defeat Jasper. "We have to be clicking on all cylinders on special teams, offense and defense," Morrison said. "We can't give up any big plays and move the ball offensively. We're not coming in there thinking we are going to big play anything but we need to control the ball and keep our defense off the field." With William Ellis nursing a sore shoulder, Timiti Cauley started at quarterback against Kirbyville. Lauve said it is uncertain who will get the starting nod this week. "We are waiting for one of those guys to step forward and hopefully this is the week for one of them to do it," Lauve said. "We don't want to continue to split time with them." With Ellis out during the open week with a sore shoulder, Cauley received the majority of the reps in preparation for the Kirbyville game. "We just felt better going into this game with Timiti because of everything he knew from practice," Lauve said. Lauve said he is looking for one of his sophomore quarterbacks to step up and provide leadership and "get things done on the field" before deciding on a final starter for the remaining contests. Jasper is also having to deal with the loss of two starting players in Jordon Tukes and Avery Hadnot to grades. Both players are expected to return in time for the Oct. 13 matchup with Bridge City. Morrison knows this contest between two 0-1 district teams is vital to any post-season hopes. "It's a big game for both schools," Morrison said. "The loser of this game is going to be sitting behind the eight ball because neither of us have faced West Orange-Stark. "We have to play our best game this week," Morrison said. "This Friday night, we have to do whatever it takes to win."

Yea the new Turf is the way to go and Coaches want it believe me because i talk to them. New stands at Dayton are next.

Oh, brother... redneck mentality at its best. :roll: Take a hint and read what those on the KFDM board have to say: [Hidden Content] Just a few comments from that link that really says it all: One poster replied: Poster #2 said: Poster #3... That's just three examples from one board. There are too many others to post for now. I have found that those who don't understand the rules try to hide their embarrassment by bashing hockey. It's NOT a "northern" sport. Here ya go (link can be found on the above thread at KFDM)...

sounds to me like we just need to meet after the game and go have a beer and talk about were both team's went wrong no matter who win's. both teams with if they give it all they have no matter what the score shows. good luck to both teams

and you sure talk alot after getting the loss Friday night.." what goes around" Oh never mind It already came around for yall..!!!

Man Vidor sure does talk alot after getting the win Friday. Just remember what comes around goes around.

you talk about records ok. nederland 1-3 correct vidor 2-2. then you will start talking about who you played. heard it before. still no respect. thats ok.we will just wait our time. sorry to upset everybody...

shhhhh....didnt you get the memo...Lumberton is the only team that is not allowed to make predictions, and talk smack. Apparently when your first loss of the season is with the hardest team in the district, and the raiders of the past (who share only the same name and stadium) have a loosing record. we dont have any right to be optimistic or predict a win.

Barbers Hill The Eagle volleyball team knocked off one rival in Huffman on Tuesday and will face another on Friday when they travel to Crosby for a much anticipated District 21-4A showdown. Barbers Hill took care of business against the Lady Falcons taking a 25-9, 25-13, 25-12 win. Keely Rivera led the Eagles with eight kills on the night. “They know what’s coming,†BH head coach John Leonard said. “We will talk about it tomorrow and put the game plan in on Thursday. It’s the type of game that everyone wants to play. The kids know what is at stake. They will be ready to go when 4:30 p.m. Friday gets here.†In the win over Huffman, the Eagles got outstanding games from setters Megan Burnett and Meghan McCoy. Burnett had 14 assists and McCoy had 12 in the win. “They did a great job of distributing the ball. It seemed they were getting the ball to the right hitter at the right time.â€

Eagletown, whatcha mean a fluke?? Kirbyville would beat da brakes off Barbers Hill this year. Let i said before you guys lucky yall don't have to play us anymore. You can talk that bullsh** Barbers Hill doesn't fear Kirbyville!!

Mike, This is a forum, that is what it is for. To make comments and voice opinions. 99% of the people on here can't make a difference on the field we just talk about it. :roll:

lol how can lumberton talk any smack after DAYTON! I am ready to play this one it should not be a close game!

When WO-S played at Nederland in the mid-90s, WO-S already had a big lead when the QB hit a completely uncovered receiver 25 yards upfield between the hash marks. As the WR streaked to the end zone, the whistle blew. They called it an "inadvertent whistle," which negated the TD. Ned fans still cry about the 2000 "lateral" call, but it was understandable as the ball BARELY moved forward and Neumann later admitted on one of the "Chalk Talk" TV segments that it was a trick play designed to look like an incomplete pass. The fact that it moved forward had been a mistake on the QB's part. He said, "It can work big for you, but we've learned that it can also really come back to bite you."

The reason we flop at times is that Nederland MUST play with a very high level of intensity... they don't have dominant athletes... they must execute and they must play with tremendous energy. They had neither Friday in Vidor. Nederland can't just walk out there and win because they're Nederland, they've got to play with a chip on their shoulder at ALL times... guess what, Vidor and all this talk, just put a HUGE FREAKIN chip on their shoulder, and you better believe Larry Neumann is going to use this to his utmost advantage. Look for an inspired effort this Friday, Homecoming, Playoff streak in the balance, Central has OWNED Nederland over the past 5 years... any good football fan will want to see this one.

jsmity, Good Lord man cry me a freakin river. West Brook gets the same coverage as any team in the area. Hell in the 80's they were the talk of the town but thats back when the district was 22-5A and there was more than 1 local team in it with them. They may not be talked about as much on this or other boards because of the district they play in now. All their games are against teams from cities in the Humble, Kingwood, and Baytown areas. Besides Port Arthur who does the Brook play around here in district??? The reason 22-4A gets more talking and pub throughout the season is because EVERY team is within 45 mins of each other. Youll see the West Brook chatter heat up the week they play Memorial I assure you, just like when they play Central and Ozen predistrict. the fact remains besides West Brook and Memorial fans noone from around here cares about the Baytown Lee Ganders or Humble Kingwood Mustangs. Why should we?

earlier someone had mentioned the run thru's. Lumberton just got one this year. The reason was because the old Coach thought they were cheesy so instead we ran thru paper...true PeeWee style. What do you think? Are they worth the money? Who has the best one? Talk Amungst ya selves...

Gah! Nuthin but friends last week, but this week pirate fan wont even talk to me..."good idea coop" psh...I see how you are...hahaha

dont even say that Vp12..dont be like other people on here and talk noise. just be thankful we won Friday and move on..

This week I noticed that Dayton had a really nice field. I loved the Turf. Of course the visitor side stands werent big enough but no ones ever are. I think Lumberton is one of the few teams where the visitor side used to be the home side so it is very adequate. It is a pretty field, but is turf really worth the money? I know there are cons to it. Are there any benifits other than looks and maintenance?

That was due to the fact that since we had a 50 to 6 lead at the half, we played our JV defense the ENTIRE SECOND HALF, and our JV offense for most of it. You won't have to worry about THAT happening again when we play you. You'll get the starters the entire game. Then we'll see if you want to come on and talk smack.

Already changed your mind? Funny how a little smack talk can do that. BC has the win hands down.

To everyone that's apart of SETXsports.com I want to thank you! This is a great place to talk local sports.

How about Zach Simmons from West Hardin, he has been a Varsity Running back since he was a Freshman, dont know his stats but was at a home game of theirs a few weeks ago and talk about the crowd support that player has it.

Yes... Vidor won a tight hard fought game against Nederland. That being said if they were to play again Nederland would still be favored, just not by as much. I am from Vidor and will back the Pirates till the very end, it is not a nock on Vidor at all. Nederland has been playing the kind of football that Vidor did on Friday night for years. Vidor will not have to worry about where they are on any poll, just play like they did Friday and the rest will take care of itself. Not only that we are from Vidor and like being the underdog. Let's not talk about jumping to the top just yet.

OK, let me set the record straight for you K'ville fans(not all, but some). I sure hope that all the "we got this and we got that and #15 is gonna do this" talk is just having fun. We here at WOS, dont really get all worked up on all the trash gibberish teams say to us week in and week out. Just ask all the teams who do that, they have a loss on their record due to us. I also hope that you, K'ville balla, are in highschool. I say that because maybe you have no clue who we are. You couldnt, there is no way someone would talk that trash with a straight face. It is entertaining though. :wink: I will not say that there will be a blowout this Friday, but I will say yall havent and probably will not see another team like this in a long time. I hope yall have yalls chin straps buckled and your cleats on Very Very tight!!!!! Word from the wise,.........by saying what yall are saying just makes it worse for yall, just think about that. peace 8)
