Paratrooper Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 I think with the rich history of WOS they haven't ever had a losing season; however, not sure on that. Does anyone know?

hipster Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 They were 5a in 77 also and when they won their first title.
1motime Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 WOS had a heck of a run, anyone remember the names of the two teams in Orange before the Mustangs?

Gasilla Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 They def played "Cherokee". My mother used to tell me when I was playing that she found it hard to pull against PNG when we played them because the song brought back memories for her and she was a WO graduate.
kicker Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 As a matter of fact, I have been told that when we, WOS, merged is when PNG started using the song. Chrokee was the WO Chiefs fight song. Could be wrong, but that is what I have been told numerous times. Something about that song that just sends chills down your spine. Maybe thats just me though. And its coach Thompsons fault. in 1997, the Monday before the game we were going to play on Friday, he had a boom box in the fieldhouse and literally played Cherokee over, and over, and over. This is no lie, ask him. And just when one side of the tape would finally run out, he would casually walk out of his office and flip it over and hit play.oh, and both us and PNG were undefeated. Believe we were number 2 in state and they were 4 or 5.

cattail Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 And yes that was their fight song. ;D
Bigdog Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 LOL. I bet the WOS fans are glad they changed the colors and fight song!

hipster Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 I was talking about the first title one district not state. that is why i said first title.
football04 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 I thought 4a was the biggest class in the 70's
bigred360 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 1983 was one of the few years LC-M beat the Mustangs. (Homer Rhodes) Then the next year we (LC-M) lost 13-9. Roderick Robertson was the QB that year for WO-S.
