So how do the Mustangs fare in 2006?

[LewP]

[its_n_ D_water]

Depends on whos coaching next year...j/k.....Well alot of talent coming back ....I think it will be another deep run in the playoffs

[Sweetwater Red]

I think the size of the kids on the O and D lines will make
the difference one way or the other. Pecos, Clyde, Iowa Park, and
Tatum all hurt us with big lines.

[LH Panther Mom]

They will either lose to Liberty Hill in the D2 championship game or not quite make it that far. :D ;)

[vet93]

I agree...I thought that the major weakness for the Mustangs was not being quite physical enough up front. Size isn't everything but it sure helps when you have some mashers up front.

If everybody comes back and plays that should, and like they should, and with a few good ones coming up to fill holes, we should be as good next year as we were this year. Maybe even a little better. If so, we have a shot of going all the way. Luck, good or bad, will always have some impact as well though.

[Black & Gold]

Is there any truth to the rumor that Skye isn't coming back, or is that just wishful thinking for those that play Sweetwater?

Who knows? Even he probably doesnt really even know for sure at this point. He is a teenager!!!
Having the coaches not fight very hard to get him on the all district team probably doesnt help matters much though.
His real future is in track probably any way. A football leg injury could ruin that for him pretty easily.
Personaly, I sure hope he comes back and plays, but I could certainly understand if he doesnt.
If he doesnt, I think it will be hard for him to just watch from the stands!

What about a quarterback capable of passing? That would be novel. It takes several ingredients to pass the ball well. We have not had those for several years. Go watch Tech if you want passing.

[jmcgee]

I think he will be back. he can hurt his leg just as fast in track as he can in football. Look at Willie amos. He played football for Nebraska. He didnt hurt his leg playing football I think it was on the track.

Sorry, but that is rediculus!
I've never seen a 300 lb. lineman take out an ACL at a track meet. I dont believe I have ever seen a 140 lb kid get gang tackled by 3 or 4 200+lb lineman and linebackers at a track meet either. I have been to many track meets, and I have never seen a kid plant his foot to make a cut and have it creamed from the side. About the worst injury you can get at a track meet is a pulled hamstring, which is no picnic, but it usually doesnt require major reconstruction surgury.

[jmcgee]

Raise your hand if you have ever seen a guy running track blow his knee out. It can happen the likely hood of it happening isnt as great as if they were playing football. but it can happen. Thats alll that statement was about. That he can hurt his leg any where. And I think he'll be back cause he wants to play next year. just my opinion.

[vet93]

There are two ways to blow an ACL. The first is torque applied to the joint while pushing off...this is where you see both football and track injuries occur to the ligament. The second way is when external force is applied to the knee joint (most common) which is almost exclusive to a contact sport such as football. Therefore, while track injuries occur to the ACL, it is much more common to see this type of injury on the football field.

Thomas Holsey the JV QB has a great arm and can hit his target.Not only can he throw but he's fast too.

[vet93]

May see some of that quadruple option stuff from the Mustangs next year!

UIL doesnt allow for this kid to play varsity ball living with his aunt while his father and mother live elswhere....

[WTF-82]

I agree Thomas Holsey is a player great arm and skill. Coached him when he was younger he is a player.

[vet93]

When Jim Wacker was at TCU they used to have alot of success with the quadruple option 1)Dive to the fullback 2) Pitch to the running back 3) quarterback keep 4) drop back with quick 3 step drop and fire a quick hitting pass. With the right players and a smart quarterback...it could really be hard to stop. Also, Sweetwater had multiple formations that they could have passed out of this year....it is pretty easy to break the bone and motion one of the running backs or move one to a slot reciever. Skye Green would be a great slot reciever....maybe utililize him like Sandifer utilizes Edwards at Wylie...Just some random thoughts!

[its_n_ D_water]

I'm not positive ,but I think he didnt play on varisty this year because he wasnt eligable. I think he will be eligable next season..

[Black_Magic]

He had to live in Sweetwater for at least a year.His Dad has lived here the whole time.But his Dad and Mom never married.So thats why he was'nt eligable.He's all clear for next year.So look out there Blackie theres a new Mustang in town.

Man. . .if somehow S'Water could get to at least maybe a 70/30 run/pass mix kinda like Wylie. . .damn. They'd be near unstoppable. You'd have to worry about stopping 2 of the fastest kids in the state AND worry about them going over the top on you.

Don't be surprised if that does indeed happen Longhorn!
I'm looking forward to the new QB coming in.

Holsey will play Varsity next year. I also talked to a guy that talked to Skyes' Dad. Skye is skipping Basketball this year and hitting the weights. He is trying to put on some weight and muscle before next year 'cause he is playing next year. Holsey will be eligible and will probably share time with Cunnings at QB. I've seen this kid put moves on people that left them holding their own jocks. He can hit a moving target on the run also.

That's great news Guy...

James has another year right?

Also...do you think the Mustangs might pass more next year? How awesome would that be if we could get 22 in a passing game????

Sorry people a little late, But I disagree with a kid can get hurt running track as quick as he can playing football. My kid still seeing his ortapedic surgeon after last years broken leg from playing freshman football . Looks like he'll have two titanium rods in his leg the rest of his life. He was doing pretty good at the 800 and 1600 meter run still trying to get his leg back. If I was Skye Green's dad knowing what I know now he would'nt be playing another down in football for anybody. As fast as Skye is he stands a better chance at getting a scholarship for track than football.

[LewP]

Ouch.....

[LewP]

Wouldn't it be nice if in 2006, we could start hitting Skye Green on some out passes out of the backfield?
Can you imagine the yards he could ge that way?

dont take this bad please...but i think that you have to let them play the sports they want to play...if God intends for a broken leg there will be one..one way or the other and im terribly sorry that it happened but i think it could ruin an athlete to be limited to one sport in highschool if that is not what they want and need at the time

Befor Carillo & Cunnings both got hurt this year, it looked like we may have been headed that way, but it all went out the window when those two went down and missed most of the district season. I think we actually had 190 or so yds passing the ball in one of the predistrict games if I remember correctly. Maybe the coaches do realize what has to happen, they just have to have someone in there that can do it. Maybe Holsey will be that guy. I sure hope so!

[loboes86]

Your view is noted and I know that what ever the good Lord has in store for us, thats the way it is.Whsdogs have you got any kids yet ? Because after being in a hospital with a teenage young man that has had something like this happen, your views kind of change. I like watching these young men play football as much as anyone, but when you have a talent such as Skyes I cannot see putting that talent into a sport were he stands a great chance of getting hurt. I'm not saying no one should play football just maybe some should be steared away. And the point is, it's easier to get hurt playing football were you have a bunch of big ol boys trying knock you down, than it is running track were somebody is not trying to run over you.

We have sat and discussed the decision ,to play or not play,and we all agreed to play. We understand and know the negatives that could come out of playing, but the positives ,at this moment outweighs the negatives. That being the brotherly love he has with his teammates ,most of them have played together since peewee football and their goal is to win state.

Again....we are NOT here to air personal vendettas....lhpm

I think they should go all the way especially wit cunnings at quaterback bcuz now ur lookin at 3 of the fastest kidz
in the state all in the backfield at the sametime. Plus they just have that chemistry together cuz they've been playin together since they were 8 or 9. I thought that if cunnings would have gotten to play some qb in tatum game it would have open the game up a whole lot more, the way he was doing teams before he got hurt i thought he shouldve been playin way more than he was.

I'm not alone , that is so true, but we are , in a better situation for next year ,because it's all true about the Holsey kid ,he is spectacular, the kid can play, it will definately be tough choosing a starting QB next year. I do know personally ,that cunnings can run the heck out of that option in the wishbone. And Holsey is just as good also,but with a deadly accurate arm, Man what potential we have ,if only it all comes together as 1 BIG RED UNIT! THAT WOULD BE SWEET-water

Thank's Marv for clearing that up.I feel so much better now.
