kicker Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 SO.....just thought maybe I would start a discussion on how everyone looks at the near future of WOS football. Ive noticed in other topics that some have dropped our "status" in the area due to our new coach. Just want a friendly conversation of what everyone thinks. This isnt a Homer thread, just curious. I will say this though, If anyone believes WOS will be down because of the Coach change, Im not so sure. Coach Thompson has basically been running the program for the last 20 years. Anyways, im looking forward to this season and to see some teams come alive, and the ones who havent, start to surprise people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I look for WO-S to be ranked #1 at some point in the season before the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my humble opinion I don't see where the coaching change will impair a thing at WO-S. I see it being business as usual and that is not good news for the rest of district 21 - 3A.

This year, that is where the Mustang strength will be with 8 returning defensive starters. Play ball control and let that defense win the games for you. I don't think they will be #1 before the regular season is done, but WOS will be a top 5 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DP#1FAN Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 That is a very good, hard nose coaching staff. I look for them to come out fast and not slow down. They want to make a statement. Remember "Nothing runs like a Mustang" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a great game) they won't see a #1 ranking. You usually have to be undefeated to be ranked #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I have high hopes for WOS but it is a new offense and even though I expect them to do well I hope fans can be patient if they have to work out any kinks.Thompson has played a huge role in the Mustangs past success but to say he ran the program for the last 20 years is a bit insulting to coach Hooks.

JMO[/quote]No, no disrespect, Hooks was the leader, but that doesnt always mean he was running it. Like a President ordering a General to do a task. No disrespect. All the staff over the years had their role or nack. titles before names doesnt mean much at WOS. Anyone of us ex WOS players can understand what I meant.

With less of the spread and more rushing, that might solve it. We'll see. Much respect goes to Coldspring from two years back...they were good and most people didn't know how good they were (going three rounds deep), but it was still a winnable game. Last year, losing to Brookshire Royal was inexcusable. They were a one-man team with the worst lack of discipline I've seen in years...the same team we manhandled the previous two years. I still remember talking to the Athens coaches who scouted the game (they would've been WO-S next opponent). They said, "We seriously considered not making the trip to scout ya'll. We expected WO-S to run away with this one." Ouch! Onward and upward in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
