Now that the hardware is in the trophy case, and the mission in 2016 is completed, let the debate begin.  Is this the best team WO-S has ever put on the field?  1986, 1987, 1988, 2000, 2016?  Perhaps I am forgetting a team worthy of consideration?  I love me some 1980s football with Kevin Smith and his teammates, but it is difficult, very difficult, to look past the 2016 WO-S Mustangs.  I have a slight lean towards the 2016 team.  Others?  Thoughts?  Let's discuss.

Congratulations to WO-S.

Go Indians.  Peace.

My vote is for the 2016 Mustangs defenses equal but it's the offense that makes the 2016 team better I think

I asked Kimbrough this question earlier this week.  He has called many of their games for several years, and was one of the top football umpires in this area for many, many years, including during those late 80s years.  In his opinion, this is the best team he's seen in SETX.   He said it's the most complete team (offense, defense, special teams).  Couldn't really argue with him.

This may be blasphemy to some, but my vote is for the 2016 Mustangs being the best to lace 'em up at WO-S.

First 16-0 team in school history and outscoring opponents 762-69 (59 offensive pts) is insane. That has to be one of the highest scoring differentials ever?

It's impossible to compare eras, but this defense just faced two wildly different offenses in Navarro and Sweetwater, both averaging over 45 ppg and held them both to one collective offensive touchdown.

Don't want to forget about some of WO-S better teams who just ended up running into programs having "all-time" type seasons: 1985, 1995, 1997, 2005, 2012 teams probably deserve mention as well.

My dad used to say that what made the 80s teams so dangerous was that they could win games with offense, defense or special teams...well, this team could score on any play from anywhere on the field in every phase of the game.

The biggest differential I remember is 2013 aledo 1023-147

    • Either way,one game lead in the series. I rely to much on word of mouth 
    • West Orange Stark has been a powerhouse since I csn remember. At some point, your bound to fall off to some degree. Alabama has 3 or 4 loses this season. Who would have thought? Has Orange lost kids to LCM or even Orangefield?
    • Interesting matchup this Friday. Both teams have very good offensive and defensive lines, which will make this game interesting. Having watched Texas High all season, they have a wide open offense with very good skill players. If you look at their stats they run the ball 57% of the time and pass 43% of the time. Personally, that is a bit deceiving, as most of their games have seen reserves running the ball in the 4th quarter. I would estimate the primary offense is 50/50. Through 12 games they have run for 3,224 yds (48tds) and passed for 2,894 yds (32 yds). Potter, the Tiger QB, has been very efficient with a 69% completion rate and 1 interception (which came from a tipped pass). The passing is distributed primarily to 4 receivers…. Ball (865), Wrightner (811), Montgomery (532), & Pilgreen (392). The rushing comes from 3 running backs … Johnson (1,432), Ball (768) & Moore (716).  The Tiger defense is solid and very quick.    Hope #15 is healthy enough to play. He is a test for any defense. I was concerned about the Nederland RB, but felt Texas High did a good job containing him. I wish this game was in the afternoon, as Nachitoches is having their Festival of Lights and their will not be any rooms in the inns and restaurants will be full so plan accordingly. PNG are state champions until someone knocks them off, so I extend the Indians the respect they deserve. Pulling for the Tigers.  
    • The baseball coach has a ton of experience at high school and college level and hasn’t done anything for I think around 7 years now,it’s just something that the higher ups live with.And there has been talent come through that he hasn’t done anything with!
    • If I had to point out one team that has impressed me the most; Barbers Hill
