*OF vs. HF/OF wins 54-9/Comments


Recommended Posts

I'm really disappointed in my Longhorns this year.  But its not their fault.  The Head Coach is trying to run a 3A program like a 5A program.  The kids in 3A programs need to play however many sports they want to play not concentrate on one because then you get most of your athletes play one sport and its not football, so that's one reason your losing every game.  HF has plenty of talent at the school why not use it to your advantage besides being just a football coach!  I Hope Coach Tilton our defensive coordinator gets the head coaching position next year because he knows Longhorn Spirit and Pride that we have always been known for.  It has faded completely away since Coach Tarver left.  Coach Tilton was his defensive coordinator back in the good old days  (O zone)!!!  I hope this message gets out!

Thanks,  C/O '97 longhorn strong

You hit the nail on the head, its coaching, coaching, coaching.... Several kids at OF who most people would consider the school's best athletes aren't playing football as they opted to concentrate on baseball or basketball.  However, Coach H has them believing in themselves and each other.  What a difference a year makes, last year OF and HJ fought it out for the chance to lose, the only thing that has really changed is the coach at OF.

I think we need to give Coach Mangan 1 more year. Basically what he has to work with is JV talented players playing at the Varsity level, and freshman talent playing at the JV Level. If he does not do anything with the experience and talent he will hopefully have back next year, then IMHO a change will need to be made.

Wait a minute! Didn't HF have a coaching change about 2 years ago? And two years prior to that, HF was losing, right? Plus, HF has a strong youth football league and these players grow and play with each other thru high school. If Orangefield can look this good, surely HF has the majic somewhere.

Honestly, he has done nothing with the experience and talent he has had in the past. Look back at the class of '09. They had guys like Burrell, Daigle, Koehl, and East who had been starters since they were sophomores and look what he did with that.

They may have had the experience but I question the talent overall.

You can't compare jv wins to next years varsity wins or losses. Like in any sport, some kids will improve with speed and skills while others will not. Plus as players begin to advance to the next level, the cream of the crop rises too.

    • I too, wish #15 was healthy and playing.  And also another RB (can't recall the #), who went down in the first game of the season. But, some others have stepped up and are hard runners.  I'm really looking forward to watching this game. 
    • Still, from what little I saw, it should have been a much closer game.  WOS was missing some fundamentals on defense, and a lack of imaginative play calling on offense.  Just my opinion as an objective observer on Texan Live, which was horrible btw, but that's another story. 
    • Either way,one game lead in the series. I rely to much on word of mouth 
    • West Orange Stark has been a powerhouse since I csn remember. At some point, your bound to fall off to some degree. Alabama has 3 or 4 loses this season. Who would have thought? Has Orange lost kids to LCM or even Orangefield?
    • Interesting matchup this Friday. Both teams have very good offensive and defensive lines, which will make this game interesting. Having watched Texas High all season, they have a wide open offense with very good skill players. If you look at their stats they run the ball 57% of the time and pass 43% of the time. Personally, that is a bit deceiving, as most of their games have seen reserves running the ball in the 4th quarter. I would estimate the primary offense is 50/50. Through 12 games they have run for 3,224 yds (48tds) and passed for 2,894 yds (32 yds). Potter, the Tiger QB, has been very efficient with a 69% completion rate and 1 interception (which came from a tipped pass). The passing is distributed primarily to 4 receivers…. Ball (865), Wrightner (811), Montgomery (532), & Pilgreen (392). The rushing comes from 3 running backs … Johnson (1,432), Ball (768) & Moore (716).  The Tiger defense is solid and very quick.    Hope #15 is healthy enough to play. He is a test for any defense. I was concerned about the Nederland RB, but felt Texas High did a good job containing him. I wish this game was in the afternoon, as Nachitoches is having their Festival of Lights and their will not be any rooms in the inns and restaurants will be full so plan accordingly. PNG are state champions until someone knocks them off, so I extend the Indians the respect they deserve. Pulling for the Tigers.
