[KFDM COOP]

Gosh i hate Saturday games.

[lsu_fan_07]

[stang4life]

Wow...already talking about this and we haven't even finished up district...

[td]

Didn't Coach Barbay's (from Newton) son go coach at Coldsprings?

[lsu_fan_07]

yes bryan.. the son did. he has been at kville but now hes a trojan.

Gosh i hate Saturday games.

Ahh, I agree as a player, but not as a fan. Just right for me to see the Bobcats win in Huntsville Friday night over Groveton, and then get to come home and drive 20 minutes to see the Mustangs handle up on Coldsprings in Dayton on Saturday. I like it!!!

Can WOS beat Coldspring?

Can WOS beat Coldspring?

Are you just trying to be funny?  LOL

[24 over par]

luv sat games

wonder why the 2 pm start time

[AggiesAreWe]

I am confused as to how they can already arrange a playoff game when there is still some doubt as to who is going where. If HF manages to slip in to the playoffs, which btw is a slim chance, that would force WOS to Div. 1. If Coldspring wins their game and Cleveland loses their game Friday night, Coldspring would be the #1 seed in Div 2 and would play Kirbyville. Just too many other scenarios that could happen to be already scheduling a time, place and opponent.

What I believe has happened, is that WOS reserved a stadium for their first round game, but the opponent still has not been officially determined. Coldspring may have agreed to that site IF they play WOS, but Splendora or Cleveland may or may have not.

Just seems a little presumptious.

If they do play:

I'm not betting against WO-S until somebody shows me they can beat them. When Coldspring comes to play, they'll have a better chance than most West Orange has played, but I'd still take the Mustangs in a lofty 21 point spread. Great Coach + Loads of Talent + Winning Tradition = Whoa Nelly!!

[WOS95]

i cant wait to see dayton's new home side.  i personally like sat games....to me it has more of a playoff atmosphere.  8)

[Mike George]

It matters not who's the opponent - they'll opt to play in Dayton. Just found out I'll be the press box announcer.

I love daytime games - the photos are great. With night games you're held hostage by, especially most of these smaller schools, bad lighting. These photos will look great.

[claytong]

whos home

[stangchain]

whos home

We won't know that until we find out who the opponent is and then the HC's flip for home.

[PURPLE 4EVER]

All roads meet in Dayton...

When I first started working in Dayton I was wondering why DISD never put money into a nice stadium.  It is very strategically located between Beaumont and Houston and would be idea for playoff games.

It is sweet that in its first new year Dayton has already landed a playoff game.

For most 4A schools and below the stands are adequate enough to hold crowds and the venue is just beautiful.  There is no better lighting in SE Texas.

In years to come look for Bronco stadium to host playoff games for the first few weeks of the playoffs.

The only thing really lacking is a nice field house and more parking.

These issues will be addressed in the upcoming years.

WOS, enjoy the game in Dayton ! (whomever you may be playing)

[stangchain]

I, for one, am so excited to be playing in Dayton instead of the long trips to Houston.  I don't mind playing in Houston sometimes, but the traffic just slays me.  I'd rather play in Conroe or Huntsville.  I enjoyed the stadium at Lufkin when we played there a couple of years ago, but going up that way would be a couple of weeks off.

I'm not sure why we are playing at 2, though.  Is there a game after ours on Saturday?

[Guest JackNtheBox]

Good luck to the Trojans.  Get a win men.

[WOS92]

Comparing semi-common opponents means nothing, and, yes, anything can happen. That said, let's compare:

WO-S dominated a team (Hamshire-Fannett) that dominated two teams from Coldspring's district. One of them lost to Coldspring by two (Liberty) and the other willl play on Friday.

Coldspring has allowed high scores of 55, 54 and 43.

WO-S has allowed high scores of 21, 15 and 14 (the latter two being 4A teams).

Coldspring has passed for 386 yards and rushed for 2372.

WO-S has allowed an average of 78 rushing yards per game.

WO-S has passed for 941 and rushed for 2166.

Coldspring has allowed an average of 210 yards per game.

As always, we're not unbeatable, but we're not Cleveland!

Money is on the Mustangs. Be safe and careful!

[hangemhigh]

Anything can happen in any given game at the high school level.  Coldspring has beaten Madisonville.  Madisonville sits at 8-1.  Coldspring then comes out and loses to Cleveland later in the season... a game that proves clearly that anything can happen on any given Friday night.  Coldspring was definitely the better team.  But, Cleveland just played better that night.  WOS is certainly the favorite.  And deservably so.  But, they will have to contend with the speed of the Coldspring backfield.  Coldspring will have to play mistake free and get some breaks.  WOS will have to make a few costly mistakes.  But, that happens every week in high school football. 

[super stud]

Coldsprings has a lot of speed and will match up with WOS better than any other school out of the 22 3a district but I still think WOS is too good to be beat or at least early in the playoffs. they want it.

[texashighschoolking]

wos is going to beat coldsprings without a doubt. coldsprings might be able to stick with them but in the end the point spread is going to be huge
