mustang85 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 I spoke with someone yesterday that saw giddings play friday, and said they do not look as good as last year. I don't care who petitioned who, unless we have a player that is not eligible, we will be playing in the third round.
Lefty99 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 Good luck Stangs! Gonna be closer than alot of people think, and a low scoring affair at that!
24 over par Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 close low scoring game wos pulls it out
stang4life Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 I concur. The Mustangs will pull this one out, but it won't be by much...1 point...just 1 point...
adminbaberuth Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 I don't know why it is , but they are DEFINITELY a 2nd half team. It's made many a fan a nervous wreck this season with the score way too close for comfort at halftime in the majority of the games. In 8 out of 11 games WO-S has either trailed or lead by 7 pts or less at halftime.Luckily 6 out of 11 opponents were shutout in the 2nd half and all 5 of the remaining opponents were held to only 6 or 7 pts). No team has yet to score more than 7 against the Mustangs in the 2nd half.A few halftime scores from the season....Dayton 14WO-S 0(WOS outscores Dayton 22-0 in the 2nd half to win 22-14)WO-S 0LC-M 0(WOS scores 6 in the 2nd half to win 6-0)Bay City 8WO-S 6(Bay City outscored WOS 7-6 in the 2nd half to win 15-12) --- the only team to outscore WOS in the 2nd half this yearWO-S 7Hamshire-Fannett 0 (WOS outscores H-F 27-7 in the 2nd half to win 34-7)WO-S 12Kirbyville 7(WOS outscores Kville 19-0 in the 2nd half to win 31-7) WO-S 7Silsbee 6(WOS outscores Silsbee 10-0 in the 2nd half to win 17-6) Jasper 14WO-S 13(WOS outscores Jasper 28-7 in the 2nd half to win 41-21) WO-S 21Orangefield 7(WOS outscores Orangefield 28-6 in the 2nd half to win 49-13) WO-S 12Coldspring 7(WOS outscores Coldspring 39-7 in the 2nd half to win 51-14)The only games that WOS didn't score the majority of their total points in the 2nd half were the Hardin-Jefferson (39-0 at halftime, 25-0 in the 2nd half to win 64-0) and Bridge City (47-0 at halftime, 26-0 in the 2nd half to win 73-0) games, and the only reason for that was that both games were pretty much decided before halftime.WO-S has scored at least 25 second half points in 6 of their last 8 gamesThey've scored at least 3 second half TD's in 7 of their last 8 games, 8 out of the 11 they've playedIf they can score 3 times total against Giddings, I think they have a very good chance of winning the game depending on how the kicking game goes. 4 TD's should win it hands down.It's obvious that the offense of WOS makes adjustments at halftime. The defense is already tight, 1st half, 2nd half any half. WOS stays within 2 TD's against Giddings at half, it's over.
KFDM COOP Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Posted November 20, 2007 FROM 3A DOWNLOW Originally posted by 88bobcats Man, I'm getting pumped up to see this game! Both teams go in with touted defenses. When I saw WO-S play a few weeks ago, Mr. Tim Matherne (6'1", 260) absolutely crushed defensive linemen. The off-tackle attack behind him just piled up the yards. He's also a great young man with loads of class and character. I've heard lots of reports about the Buffalo D-line. Last year Giddings had one of the best running defenses I've ever seen. Dock and his boys were everywhere on the field. I think Mr. Matherne will open some holes and force the Buffaloes to load the box to stop the Garretts. Then Mr. Hypolite will start to pick apart the defensive secondary. I'm just anxious to see how the Buffalo defense responds; and whether the Mustang defense can corral the Buffalo stampede. I likes me some good defense, I do! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FROM TexanFan4Life Giddings runs a 3-3-5, which occasionally turns into a 3-5 when they walk 2 Rovers up and bring them off the edge. I think you run the ball on Giddings right down their throats until they prove they can stop it...then you hit them with the play action pass over the top. None of this darting for the sidelines crap. You've also got to run a lot of single back formations to run successfully against Giddings. Their D Linemen slant to one side pretty much all game, and it's incredibly easy to catch Dock overpursuing on any given play. Bottom line..you beat Giddings with what I just said above: hard-nosed between the tackles running, Play Action. You've also got to hit their QB (either Brock or Locke), whether he has the ball or not (during the play, of course). It's way too easy to get Brock frustrated. But the most important thing to remember when playing Giddings.... Beat them with class and dignity. Don't let them lure you into playing their little games. They play dirty and they have no respect for anybody else. Don't let that phase you. You've got to play with mental toughness to beat Giddings. They get frustrated very easily if their little tricks don't work.
adminbaberuth Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 West Orange-Stark faces No. 1 Giddings By CHRIS DABE, The EnterpriseGuiseppe Barranco/The EnterpriseQuintavious Garrett, left, and DePauldrick Garrett stand in Dan Hooks Stadium at West Orange-Stark High School on Monday.ORANGE - Giddings football coach Derek Fitzhenry refused to disclose the condition of his son's ankle, so West Orange-Stark's Dan Hooks will wait and see.Fitzhenry's son, Brock, suffered an ankle injury that prevented him from playing in the second half of Giddings' first-round playoff victory last week. Whether the Texas-committed quarterback plays Friday against WO-S may not be revealed to Hooks and his defense until after the 7:30 p.m. kickoff at Pearland."We'll prepare like we're going to see either one of them," Hooks said of Fitzhenry and his backup, Jonathan Locke This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up
mustang85 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 Does anyone know when and where the game of the two teams we would play the winner of would be?
stangchain Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 It will most likely be Huntsville or Conroe. Both stadiums are good for us. It will be the winner of LaVega (11-3) or Crockett (8-3). Was just looking at the bracket. Had heard last night where the game will be, but don't know which day yet.
mustang85 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 I think Newton used to always have to play crockett in the playoffs, back in the 80's, but I have never heard of lavega.
stangchain Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 I think Newton used to always have to play crockett in the playoffs, back in the 80's, but I have never heard of lavega.The Waco area.

I thought WOS had several weapons: D. Garrett, Earl Thomas, Andre Bevil, Jacoby Franks, D. Rhodes, Ronnie Dennis, and K. Leblanc. The year before when we beat giddings by four td's, I think we were based on one guy, Deon Beasley.

stang4life Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 The Mustangs need to just play MUSTANG FOOTBALL and just let Giddings play "their game"...We should prepare for the buffs like they are last year's team...why would you not do that? If they are as good, better, or not as good as last year...the MUSTANGS will be ready for whatever shows up to play on Friday. (And no, I am not being overly confident...just being real...) Either we'll be ready or we won't...I happen to believe that we will be...
skipper Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 i am very sorry the stangs did have alot of firepower last year BUT GIDDINGS(DID KEY ON BEASLEY) dont you think .the mustangs keyed on the QB and did one heck of a job he had a so so game as i was told. you know as well as i you CANT KEY on them all
stangchain Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 I am amazed looking at the various websites how many are predicting WOS will win, with or without Fitz. I mean, WE all believe it, but a lot of other people believe it as well. I think our stats are starting to show....Of course, it could just be wishful thinking on a lot of the people from other districts....sounds like they are tired of Giddings' talk.... (Just what I read into it...not trying to start an argument)
skipper Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 Is This The First Time WO-S Has Played A (BIG TEAM)----- NO Is This The First Time WO-S Has Played A Team With Lots Of (SPEED) NO----------- Is This The First Time WO-S Has Been (UNDERDOGS) NO Is This The First Time WO-S Has Faced A (Super Back ) NO------------ Is This The First Time WO-S Has Played (Giddings)------------NO. IF WO-S Goes Out And Playes Mustang Football In (NO) Way Will Giddings Will Beat These Kids Not This Year. And If You Like You Can Add To This
Hupernikomen Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 I liked Giddings chances with a healthy Brock, but I don't think they are in the same league as WO-S without him.
wos08 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 I think Giddings has a better chance with the other QB than Brock..WOS wins either way
Guest Wos Grad 2000 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Posted November 21, 2007 I think Giddings has a better chance with the other QB than Brock..WOS wins either way Your right. We stopped Fizt last year with the new QB we won't know what they will do.
