Paratrooper Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Posted September 27, 2011 [quote name="bigred360" post="1067006" timestamp="1317080330"]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.[/quote]Homer Rhodes was fast wasn't he? That was a good LCM team that year.
bigred360 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Posted September 27, 2011 He ran a 4.3 and signed with Arkansas State and a friend of mine, Cazzy Francis was a WR there and he told me Homer was timed at 4.3 there too.

wompaskat Posted September 27, 2011 Report Posted September 27, 2011 [quote name="kicker" post="1066719" timestamp="1317059114"]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.[/quote]The original fight song for West Orange was “Hail to the Victors†but Cherokee became the de facto fight song in the early 70’s.

[/quote]That is correct. I asked my father. He has had the same exact season ticket seats since '71 when they were the Chiefs. He said it kind of caught on when they would play it from time to time and then "de facto"ed to it.
Gasilla Posted September 27, 2011 Report Posted September 27, 2011 You have to admit, even if you were never a WO Chief or a PNG Indian, when they get that beat going where it's just the drums pounding, it gets you going... It always has for me, that beat is just nasty. When we would play PNG and they would play it half the guys on our sideline would be bouncing to the beat.

GUNHO Posted September 27, 2011 Report Posted September 27, 2011 WO and LC...weren't they 2A back then?I remember making a couple of LC games when the high school was on Meeks drive.

I don't see them loosing the rest of the way. Folks forget they lost to two good 4A programs on last second 2 point conversions and by 8 to a big strong Giddings team that is a 3A power year in and year out. No one they face the rest of the way will be as good.

Gasilla Posted September 27, 2011 Report Posted September 27, 2011 I honestly think Silsbee and BC both have a shot at beating WOS. But, I also believe that neither are as good as the teams that have beaten WOS. Nor do I think either have played anyone comparable to the teams that have beaten WOS (and won) with the exception of Newton and that maybe a stretch.
BADSANTA Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 Since coming to 21-3A WOS has only lost one district game right?
Gasilla Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 That is correct. The Mud Bowl in Silsbee.
1motime Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 Thank you LORD for only having one school in this area that plays that song ::) (Cherokee) ;D
Razor Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 I really don't look for WOS to have a losing season this year either
Piratesdad4410 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 WOS will not lose a distict game this year; Silsbee bearly beat newton
