    Tommy Mann Jr, For the Record|Updated Nov 30, 2021

    It was a black Friday indeed for several teams in the high school football playoffs around the state of Texas as six defending state champions lost games. Better still is the fact that the last two teams standing representing Southeast Texas are both from Orange County. The No. 4 state-ranked West Orange-Stark Mustangs (11-1) did what the team always does and that is play a solid game of football and defeated what was considered by some to be a better Bellville football team,...

    Tommy Mann Jr, For the Record|Updated Nov 16, 2021

    The Bi-District round of the Texas UIL high school football playoffs were not very kind to several of our local teams as three had their seasons come to an end, while two managed to advance to the second round and have their seasons continue for at least one more week.

  • Local teams look to clinch post season trips

    Tommy Mann Jr, For the Record|Updated Oct 26, 2021

    Two weeks remain in district play for our local football teams, and there is still plenty on the line for each team as all six could potentially make the post season. However, each team needs to take care of business this week before looking ahead. The No. 4 state-ranked West Orange-Stark Mustangs (7-1, 5-0) pummeled district rivals the Liberty Panthers this past Friday 73-7 and the score probably could have been much worse. Mustangs running back Elijah Gales set the all-time...
