Region III Game of the Week (7): West Orange-Stark @ Silsbee

[LH Panther Mom]

West Orange-Stark Mustangs travel to Silsbee to take on the Tigers in this battle for the district 21-3A lead.

WO-S comes into the game with 6-0 record and is ranked # 4 on the Associated Press poll.

Silsbee has a 5-1 record, with their only loss coming to 4A Port Neches-Grove.

Thoughts? Predictions?

West Orange-Stark: 0 district losses since dropping to 3A.

Silsbee: 1 district loss since dropping to 3A.

Should be a good game.

WO-S's offense AND defense are too much for Silsbee. Yes, the rivalry kind of levels this lopsided power a bit, but not enough. WO-S by at least 21.

Great Choice! Now this is a GOTW.

I'm actually pretty surprised this is the game of the week for the entire region. No doubt, this will be a good game, though. Silsbee's a solid team and will almost certainly be in the D1 playoffs when all is said and done. I watched them against PNG a few weeks ago, and they looked pretty good. They have very large lines, some talented skill players, a QB who can make a lot of big plays, and a very strong PK -- he nailed a FG from 52 yards out against PNG, and it had plenty of distance.

It's Silsbee's homecoming, so the atmosphere is going to be super intense for this game. They have looked less than stellar in a few games, but looked awesome in other ones. I know they are going to give a great effort against WOS, and it's certainly going to be a battle for both teams.

It will be for the district championship of a district that has teams in it that have made at least the semi-finals for the last 4 years in 3A. Which means our district has won the region (at least one bracket of it) all of those years. Big game, and should tell us all just how good Silsbee is going to be this year (and whether or not WO-S is as dominate as many of us think they are).

It was time. Besides, two teams with 3-0 district records so far....how much better does it get?

Wow.....man, now that is stretching it. I could see being a homer by 3 but do you really think Silsbee is 2 touchdowns better than WOS?

Oh, by the way, forgive me Lord for defending WOS on this.
