In 2015, we dropped 40 on Carthage and couldnt get ahead of Carthage.  They lost to La Vega that year.

Yeah I was at that one in Tyler, Ingram got hurt early for Carthage and Carthage was making uncharacteristic mistakes (well 2 certain players were). Silsbee had a very good chance to beat them that night. That was a shootout.

Big difference from "having a chance to beat Carthage" and "beating Carthage".

Yes, I think Wooster runs for 200 yards and Bridge City takes this one.

Well Steve Worster’s grandson will actually probably be running the ball against Bridge City this year. I believe there are on the schedule

If WO -S has 8/8 back, I could go and win district. Do not sell WO - S short.

They might even win state. 

No question they are the favorite in the Region. Floks predicting the WOS demise dont understand the "Jimmies/Joes" concept.

Isn’t that with any team?

Not at all. With some teams (such as Tarkington for example), everyone "has a chance to beat them" and "almost everyone does beat them". By way of comparison, "few have a chance to beat Carthage" but an even smaller "actually beat Carthage". An example of a team somewhere in between would be Silsbee, who "many teams have a chance to beat" and about half of those usually "follow through beating them". 

In summary, having a chance to beat Tarkington is almost automatic to result in a win. While having a chance to bet Carthage very rarely equates to a win. A good way to view this phenomenon in a more quantifiable method would be to examine the win/loss records over extended period of time such as a "10 year sample".
