I think my migraines are back, its only week 5. 

Mine too !! Lol. I luv all my Mustang nation but some of them comments on here are outta control.first off I'm very surprised abt some of the confidence that's over the top.like can anyone score on w.o or if anyone defense or offense is better. I'll b the first to admit that as long as w.o does the little things and keep humbling themselves I don't believe there's a team in 4A that cud beat them. Bc of there strength. But at the same time we have to remember dat 18-1 new England Patriots couldn't beat a 7-9 NY Giants. A state title isn't won in September or October! ! And dats why it's so important to b playing ur best ball at the end of the year.a wounded animal cud b dangerous *(gilmer or celina).sorry to go here ask the c/o89 team that ran into a hungry Paris team.all we have to do is keep cheering our team on and leave the rest to other teams to debate we will b fine. We need 12 more victories !! Starting Friday

WOS needs to just focus on one game at a time, and remember, "any given Sunday"............They are good, but the fact is, they have not played anyone. that can lead to false confidence, just like they got at the SC 2014.

I would bet 99% of the comments on here stating unworldly expectations of the Mustangs aren't even believed by the people pressing send.

You need to get off of this message board and start paying attention in your 11th grade US history class lil buddy. You're falling behind on notes and too much time on this site could cause you to fail the STAAR test.

This wasn't really an upset. Carthage is a powerhouse, with arguably the best coach in Texas high school football today. I don't even think you will hear a Gilmer fan say that this was an upset.

That being said, I was questioning Poppy before this game started. I watched the first game this season, which I'm sure you all heard, he broke the Gilmer passing record in a game and what not. The reason I questioned that, is because I had seen L-E twice (now 3 times) this season, and their secondary is just not what is has been in past years.

I also have been trying to find the statistic, but I don't think it's out there, on the YAC during the Gilmer/L-E game. Watching the game, I am figuring over half of the passing yards was due to YAC. He doesn't take many deep shots, it's mainly just the usual Gilmer screens and short throws.

Gilmer does get a lot of their yards from quick outs, slants, tunnel screens, screens in general, but this year is about half and half yardage wise - half the yards on quick pass and runs (under 15 yd throws), and half on deep balls.  The deep ball threat was completely absent last season.  Not so this season.  Carthage took away the deep ball away from Gilmer, making them actually drive the ball.  Smart coaching by the Carthage staff.  Turnovers were forced, giving Carthage a short field several times in the first half. 

I honestly didn't see this game as an upset.  I saw it more as a pick 'em game.  Carthage was the better team this season.

There is some truth to this.......but, we have taken more shots down field this year than last. Actually, way more, and had been quite successful until the Carthage game. Their DB's had the deep ball covered all night. We earned every yard we got that night. And no, this wasn't an upset. Not in the least. I actually picked Carthage in my pickem sheet on the other sight. They were definitely the better team.

I'm just saying from what I saw against L-E. Lots of short throws with tons of open space. L-E secondary seemed to play 5 yards off of the receivers almost every play.

Yea Carthage had a track star playing at safety that matched up real well with Morton. Carthage has a young team as well. It will be interesting to see what they can do next year as well!

Welcome to the dark side.  And I agree, Carthage winning is rarely an upset.  I doubt there's to much difference in Gilmer & WOS offense.  But on defense, no comparison.  But I'll have to say, it's still a ways to the playoffs.

    • Well Mustang fans it's time for my annual end of season rant. I've had so much company up here on the soapbox that I may have to start charging rent. After 3 years I don't think anything needs to be said. We all know what's wrong. We all know why. So what's the decision at the next board meeting? IMO, there's been enough imaginary success for the board to rubber stamp the Superintendent's vision for our future student athletes. #make every second count Due to soft scheduling and a weaker than normal district. The luck of knocking off 2 ranked opponents early when they were not healthy or still trying to figure it out. Also led to a premature ranking and a hollow DCTF weekly award. The 2 late season losses vs ranked teams proves what we know has been the biggest problem.  Football 19-15 .559 Baseball 9-35 .205 Basketball 19-35 .352 GBB 11-29 .275 Softball 1-22 .043 Volleyball 0-38 .000 Overall 59-174 .253   For anyone living in the district, I ask that you contact you're elected board members publicly and privately. Don't let them think this is exceptable. Be the solution to the equation. Not the divisor. This starts at the top and falls heavily upon those walking the halls. They deserve better.
    • I don't think it's 6-5 maybe 4-3
    • Sounds like a good idea, and something’s been needed for a long time. I know—where my kids & grandkids live now (DFW area)—schools are like revolving doors for athletic purposes. I don’t think the DPISD & LPISD option enrollment are anywhere like that. I assume it’s pretty above board since it was an arrangement apparently agreed to also by the state. I do know some kids that went to LPISD elementary schools in DP chose to go to DPHS because of the district rating. (Of course, at the time, DPISD and DP in general wasn’t very racially mixed like La Porte.) LPISD has a high number of kids on assistance programs compared to DP. Say what you will, it does make it more difficult for educational purposes and scores can reflect as much. LPISD is still rated high even with that challenge. Some of the kids that chose DPHS were very solid athletes that I’m sure LP would love to have had attend LPHS. Of course, part of the big rivalry between DP & LP has always been because DP ‘looked down’ on LP even though we worked side-by-side. Now that Shell DP refinery has been sold to PEMEX, DP is changing. Some aren’t happy about it. Some of us in LP are kinda tickled about it after the history.
