West Orange - Stark

2 questions. First, why did WOS put "Leroy Breedlove Field" on top of the scoreboard? Leroy Breedlove has absolutly nothing to do with that field. He never coached a team that played on that field. Period. And, the field already has a name, "Dan Hooks Stadium". This is just messy and a slap in the face to Dan Hooks. Second, why doesn't WOS get the darn scoreboard fixed? The downs, yards and such does not work. The only thing that works, is the score and the time. Money would have been much better spent on the scoreboard, that that sign they put on top of it.

I feel coach breedlove would agree with you

[marshman]

A working scoreboard should have been priority over a sign

[Stringman]

Seems like with the alumni WO-S has they would have a better score board and field turf.

the scoreboard has been a problem going on for too long, for such a great winning tradition of football, you would think by now it would be fixed somehow or be someone who has the money or knowledge.

it is because WOS puts too many points on the board, it cant handle the firepower lol

Don't laugh cause I've heard that the fuses on the Mustangs score side are twice as large as the ones on the visitors score.  Seriously.

Why can't they get a new scoreboard donated from a local business?

You don't say!

Nothing against Coach Breedlove. He was a good guy, but this is the wrong place to honor him. You want to start honoring past coaches, the list is long and honored, from West Orange and Stark both. That sign needs removed.

Majestyk, your humor never ends. I couldn't find you at the game last night.

I started out walking to the game but when I made the 1/2 block to Burnett it was 40-0 so I come on back to the house.

I have to also disagree with the naming of the field. Coach Breedlove is a good man and was a good junior high coach. He never coached varsity football. The naming of stadiums and fields is so stupid. What are we going to give Coach T"s name to when he retires? The press box, the side line benches, the impossible walk-way from the entry gate by the concession stand to your seat- Name that "Cornell Thompsons children chain gang barricade".

I mean.. another thread about this?

Didn't money for both signs come from donations?

[MrUmp1]

The clock works. The TASO clock crews says that all they are to do is the clock, they do not do down and distance. I'm a TASO baseball guy so not bashing my fellow officials just doing an FYI.

If that's the case, then why are we the only school in the area that does that? I don't buy that.

With the long history of the scoreboard not working, I agree, what is up with that. Even smaller schools with less enrollment and not as much of a winning tradition have complete working scoreboards. I am just saying that this broken scoreboard is an embarrassment to WOS. I know WOS can take bids to have someone or some company fix the scoreboard. Even if some school wanted to use the stadium for a playoff game, who would without a complete working scoreboard.

Posting questions and points of view are one thing! Attending the school board meetings and actually getting involved in the solution is the ANSWER! Ask questions, participate and help introduce new ideas. If you don't participate or engage in volunteering your time then posts are a waste of time! That's just my nickel of knowledge hahaha

[ST413]

Why can't they get a business to donate a scoreboard?

[Silsbee92]

As stated above....

Stangs score too quick to keep up.  

or.... maybe there are actually more important things to spend their tax dollars on.

Par for the course in Setx. It's also ridiculous that lots of assistant coaches in greater Houston area make  close to the same salary  Coach Thompson makes. Why won't the WOS brass pony up and pay this great coach 110K!!

Because we do not have a separate controller for down and distance independent from the clock controller. Two people can not be using the same box. That's the issue. Come on up next home game and you will see. 

[GUNHO]

So you are saying nothing is wrong with our scoreboard? It's different than all the other scoreboards in the area?I'm not trying to be a smart a$$ but it worked fine for years so I don't understand where the problem is.Did we have separate controllers back then and that's why it worked back then?
