They have a good shot.  They just scored 35 points against the best defense in the state.  

The place where the Tigers had the edge was in the kicking game and that proved to be decisive.  Our place kicker scored 10 points and sent most kickoffs into the endzone.  Other than that it was a toss up.

Clearly it was the breaks and the big plays that decided that game.  As Yankees pitcher Lefty Gomez said back in the 30's, "I'd rather be lucky than good."

Anyway, It's been a great two years.  Even if both games had gone the other way it still would have been great.  But now Carthage has moved down into Div II and all bets are off.  We could both be in for a dry spell.  Our last debacle against them still hurts.  It was like Pearl Harbor.  We had no warning.

Sorry to hurt anyone’s feelings, but a good defense does not give up 5 TDs.

It wasn't 5 TD's, it was 4 TD's and 2 field goals and one very exciting and unusual looking 2 point conversion to tie the game with only a few minutes left.

It was a strange 4th quarter.  You kind of had to be there. WOS seemed to be in control with a 28 - 17 lead going into the 4th and then the wheels just came off.  Big plays, unlikely plays, a 48 yard field goal, a fake punt that shouldn't have worked, a lateral option pass that shouldn't have worked.  A Tiger defense that had been porous all night suddenly stiffened into a brick wall.  It was just one of those things.   Fate took a hand.

Are we really referencing a game that took place in week 2 and we are in week 15?

No I think he was talking about last night. The other guy referred to wos defense as “the best in the state”... maybe a few years ago. Not this year

I figure he wasn't since it was obvious at a quick glance that 28 pts is NOT 5 Tds...

It wasnt for w.o to win. Ur correct faith was on silsbee side. But the only thing that will always bother me is.that every kid wanted to go for the 4th and inches after the time out.and u don't even let the kids decide it. U punt the ball with a kid that has been one of the worse punters anywhere.even though the punt was tip.i applaude the kid for trying.but he's not a punter.

Strange though.  There are still some Coach Smith detractors in Silsbee and I don't  understand it...

There will always be detractors regardless of success and it's usually sour grapes over their kid not getting the PT they think he deserved or (better yet) the PT they thought they deserved 20 yrs ago.
