Jesse Riojas out at WO-S/Shea Landry named new coach.

[venom33]

I heard Riojas is out as head coach as of today... if thats correct I say Fackler throws his hat in the ring!   ;)

[WOSgrad]

I am sure that a season like the Mustangs just had doesn't sit well with the new AD.  Remember, he at one time was baseball coach at West Orange-Stark.

[braves24]

WOS chances to do anything were last yr & this yr..I pull for em but it's gonna be tough from here on out..next yr y'all should contend but after that I'm not sure.

Yes Rijos has been relieved of the baseball coaching position. He has done a good job considering the state of the program that he took over. Remember that he took over the head coaching job almost half way through the season when the previous coach was terminated. Riojos took over the program with no head coaching experience and did a good job of trying to rebuild the program to where it once was. Yes Coach T. is a baseball guy at heart, he played at McNeese as a catcher back in the day. I feel certain that he does have a big interest in the baseball program as well as all sports since he is now the A.D.
I wish Coach Riojas the best of luck in the future, and thanks for the hard work.

He should land on his feet!

Coaching is not the issue there.

That is what I have been told also.

Nobody knows about that issue any more than Coach Thompson

We have a few kids coming in that will be freshmen and then not sure about the class after that but the ones after that have several players also. We will definately have some work to do. Tough to put too much pressure on freshmen. Hopefully they will work hard and continue to get better.

I would bet alot of money that won't happen.

Marcus Thompson, if you are reading this, come back to WO-S as head baseball coach!

Why baseball and basketball I thought they were doin ok in both sports?

[mustangsally]

We won a four district games.  (a far cry from the state championship talk straight from the coach)  talk is cheap (i also read a quote in the paper proclaiming "WOS Baseball Is Back")

Back in the day we would win four games in a weekend against much better teams.  And although our coaches were tough, they were not verbally abusive to our youth and steered clear of preseason boasting.

Coach T will make sure it "IS BACK"  But not with words, he is a man of action.

Marcus has been coaching at Galena Park High school this year. Unless he recently left.

We need someone who can be a contender like it always has been since the '80's to mid-90's! Some of those big names are out there! I predict that Jay Stone, Sam Moore, Kip McFarlin, some of those big names will be considered!

All of those folks may command a little bit more than Coach Thompson has in his budget.

[GTBBaseball]

If WOS does it the right way, they hire within, the assistant who has been there the past 3seasons.
He will do an excellent job and Im hoping he gets strong considerations for his passion, hard work, and commitment to WOS Baseball!

You beat me to it Fackler, I say hire Shea Landry who has been the asst. coach, works hard, very respected by parents and the kids, he would do a GREAT job.



I believe you will be hearing an announcement very soon.......stay tune!!!

[queenb77630]

well I guess my son won't be playing next year because I think Landry is a smart butt.  Anyone who calls the kids "f(*&ing punks" and doesn't care that he says it in front of a parent deserves and gets no respect from me!

[adminbaberuth]

Might be a record, promoted at lunch and before the bell rang calling for his head.I could be wrong on the bell, I'm 2 hour difference in time zones today.
