Why do teams always have to be put down when trying to prove your point. Nobody on here said anything about OF being world beaters, but you get on here and dog them. Are they the caliber as Ozen or Wheatly. No and never claimed to be, but 9 men just fought their butts off tonight to play another day. Quit dogging them. Just a proud parent. Sorry.[/quote]Here here!! Good post!

Lazeek Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 Congrats to Orangefield and Coach Rea Wrinkle on battling your way into the playoffs!!!
BigDaddy00 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 So now do they flip a coin and play?

Sorry.[/quote]Good post, sir. But don't be offended because neither one of those individuals intended to offend you. It was just their grounds to take the opposite side of the issue with me. I will congratulate you again because you beat a team that can run faster and jump higher and, regardless of the level of play, is considerably more athletic than the Bobcats. I believe that speaks well for your team and proves there are other variables involved besides athleticism. Since West Orange beat a local 4-a team that is in the playoffs and lost by 2 to another team that is tied for first in the same district, I feel they are a decent team and it means what Ofield did tonight was a noteable accomplishment.
Aces_Full Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 Dickie V loves to throw in Ozen's name like their anything special this yr. maybe he just reliving his glory days riding Coach Boutee's coattails.
Lazeek Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 Back on subject. We are not gonna have another topic thread get locked!!!
Aces_Full Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 You are right. Congrats Orangefield and Coach Wrinkle.

catfever Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 As a member of the OF community, I want to say how proud I am of these players and coaching staff. They have gone through more in the past 6 or 7 months than most teams ever with the loss of one of their teammates. They looked tonight like they had something to prove and they were playing for someone. I hope this carries over and we see something special this weekend and who knows, maybe next week. I think those 9 players and 3 coaches would all agree, this one is for you, Grey.

Lazeek Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 Either last year or the year before in 20-4A

Last year in 24-1A DII, they had a 4 team tie and had a mini tourney to determine what 3 teams went to the playoffs out of the 4.

Wildcatter Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 Inspired and a little help from Grey on those last free throws. Just glad that they are playing another day. This group of kids will always be the most special group of kids to me. They have helped keep me distracted and hope that they continue to just play like there is only 2 mins left every game.

BLUEDOVE3 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 Would be nice if the local media followed OF and use this as a human interest story.
