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.
