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

Once. WOS went 3-7 in 1983. The next "worse" season was 2001 where they went 5-5. Their very first year, 1977, they went 5-4.

They were 5A in 1983?

Yes, they were 5A in '83.

That is actually a very impressive record.  I guess people are leaving the Orange area if the enrollment has sent them from a 5A to a 3A.

A good point a lot of us should remember.

WOS had a heck of a run, anyone remember the names of the two teams in Orange before the Mustangs?

West Orange-Stark High School was a merger in 1977 of two high schools, the West Orange High (the Chiefs) and Lutcher Stark High (the Tigers).

I don't recall if Cherokee was a part of their song selection, but they did sport the purple and white.

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.

That is correct, 1983 is the only losing season the Mustangs have had.  And, much to your dismay, 2011 won't be the second.

They were 5a in 77 also and when they won their first title.

WO and Stark didn't merge until 78
[/quote]

Nope, the first year of WO-S was 1977-78 school year.

True, I was thinking class of 78

    • I personally hope PN-G gets 2nd gets to the 2nd round wins the flip against SOC and drag them them to Houston to play 
    • I like option number two, PNG and Nederland both win. Nederland i’ll be the district champion, number 1 seed or whatever you want to call it. Yes I know that if two or three teams tie with the same record, they will be called co-champions and everyone gets a trophy. One team however will go in as the first place team in district and will play the fourth place team in the bi-district round. If PNG and Nederland both win, Nederland will be #1.

    • Virginia has same day voter registration. A person can literally walk in to the voting location, register and then vote. So the premise that Virginia might be stopping people with a legitimate right to vote is nonsense. From what I gather in the news report, assuming that the ones I have read are correct, the people that were removed, filled out a drivers license registration and marked that they were not an American citizen. Could the person have made a mistake bychecking the box incorrectly? Although unlikely it is certainly possible. That same person who was removed can go into the same voting location where he would have voted and again, complete a voter registration and then vote.  That went into the Supreme Court’s decision.  If such a person votes by registering on election day, he fills out a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots are not originally counted and or not counted unless needed. For example….  Statewide there are 500 provisional ballots cast. A person wins the election by 4,000 votes. That would be no need to count the provisional ballots as it will not matter. Then let’s say there are 5,000 provisional ballots cast in the election. One candidate then wins the election by only 1,500 votes. In that case, the election could definitely swing on those provisional ballots. The state will then investigate each person to make sure they live at the correct address listed and that they are American citizens. If these things are correct, the vote will then be counted. Safe Harbor is not untillll…… I think December 17th this year so there will be six weeks to verify the provisional ballots if needed. The purging of the names of people who checked a state form saying that they were not an American citizen, will not stop that same person from voting.
