We believe another coach would have continued our tradition. We also believe if any another qualified candidate would've been given any consideration at all. This could've been a better season for our student-athletes. And we would not have lost students as a result. 

Once again, I don’t disagree. But belief and reality are two different things. God be with the next guy. He’s gonna need it.

Ma'am...they aren't going to fire a coach that made the playoffs. West Orange-Stark is a school with a football team, not a football team with a school.

Fact is football is very important at WOS. The coach didn't nearly meet expectations so that probably means it's time for him to go. School board really needs to consider hiring a coach the people will get behind. Even when they do that the new coach will have a tough task because I don't see the district getting much easier next year

If what you say is true, I just wish academics were even half as important. It seems that football wins at all costs is more important than the success of ALL WOS students.

Ma’am, I have a lot of respect for you, and I always enjoy your posts and your enthusiasm. But is that really the answer and what you want these kids to learn?

I don't want these kids to learn that a job would be handed to you without consequences for disappointing reaults. Its all about the expectations based on the returning talent and a "current" staff member taking over. Current usually means business as usual. I could give numerous examples. Why the sudden drop?

I heard the sideline to sideline guys early on predict us to play Carthage in Dallas. Then they came to town after the lcm classic. Saw png and said we were down. Hinted that we were out coached by the first year png staff. Even picked us to beat Jasper later in the year. Another first year staff that got the Win against us. Then, this week, they said... we have no play makers.

I'm sorry. Excuse me. Now it's the kids. When the coaching makes the kids look bad, it's a failure. What game was it that AggiesAreWe said we lost on the sideline? What game was it that Gary Stelly was giggling about us not getting a play called in after a TO?

Coaching... don't need 7 years to figure it out here. 7 games and we knew.

One more time, I’m not saying you’re wrong. I disagree with the way the fans are approaching this entire debacle though.

Yea that wasn't really direct so much at you.

But this brings up something more for our discussion. How would you have us approach this? We're still new to this coaching change thing.

Lmao. Fair enough. It’s late. I’ll try to answer when I can. Headed to the deer lease in 4 hours.

    • I don’t know about any rivalry there because I don’t live there but although LP and DP play in different classifications they still have a lot in common.  I mean, both beat Barber’s Hill this year!
    • I’m super excited for this game.  PNG has the team and game plan that will slow TH down.  No way we can stop them the entire game, but I feel if we slow them down we can win similar to what we did last year to Lake Creek and SOC.  
    • Well Mustang fans it's time for my annual end of season rant. I've had so much company up here on the soapbox that I may have to start charging rent. After 3 years I don't think anything needs to be said. We all know what's wrong. We all know why. So what's the decision at the next board meeting? IMO, there's been enough imaginary success for the board to rubber stamp the Superintendent's vision for our future student athletes. #make every second count Due to soft scheduling and a weaker than normal district. The luck of knocking off 2 ranked opponents early when they were not healthy or still trying to figure it out. Also led to a premature ranking and a hollow DCTF weekly award. The 2 late season losses vs ranked teams proves what we know has been the biggest problem.  Football 19-15 .559 Baseball 9-35 .205 Basketball 19-35 .352 GBB 11-29 .275 Softball 1-22 .043 Volleyball 0-38 .000 Overall 59-174 .253   For anyone living in the district, I ask that you contact you're elected board members publicly and privately. Don't let them think this is exceptable. Be the solution to the equation. Not the divisor. This starts at the top and falls heavily upon those walking the halls. They deserve better.
    • I don't think it's 6-5 maybe 4-3
    • Sounds like a good idea, and something’s been needed for a long time. I know—where my kids & grandkids live now (DFW area)—schools are like revolving doors for athletic purposes. I don’t think the DPISD & LPISD option enrollment are anywhere like that. I assume it’s pretty above board since it was an arrangement apparently agreed to also by the state. I do know some kids that went to LPISD elementary schools in DP chose to go to DPHS because of the district rating. (Of course, at the time, DPISD and DP in general wasn’t very racially mixed like La Porte.) LPISD has a high number of kids on assistance programs compared to DP. Say what you will, it does make it more difficult for educational purposes and scores can reflect as much. LPISD is still rated high even with that challenge. Some of the kids that chose DPHS were very solid athletes that I’m sure LP would love to have had attend LPHS. Of course, part of the big rivalry between DP & LP has always been because DP ‘looked down’ on LP even though we worked side-by-side. Now that Shell DP refinery has been sold to PEMEX, DP is changing. Some aren’t happy about it. Some of us in LP are kinda tickled about it after the history.
