WEST ORANGE – Pencil in yet another district championship for the two-time defending Class 4A champion West Orange-Stark Mustangs.
The Mustangs dominated the Orangefield Bobcats in every phase of the game Friday night at Hooks Stadium, notching a 54-0 victory to go perfect in District 12-4A Division II play and extending their
state-leading winning streak to 35 games and their district title streak to seven.
WO-S jumped on the playoff-bound Bobcats early, leading 21-0 at the end of the first quarter and 37-0 at intermission.
The Mustangs (8-0, 4-0) outgained the Bobcats (3-4, 2-2) 326-48 in the first half and 434-102 for the game. WO-S has allowed just 174 total yards in the last two games after limiting Liberty 72 in last week’s 32-0 blanking.

“I think we’re maturing as a football team and you have to do that this time of the year,” said Mustang coach Cornel Thompson. “After our bye week, the kids really came out ant got some focus and went and played well at Liberty and against Orangefield tonight. We earned what we got, which is another district championship. We’re entering that third phase of the season now and it’s going to get toughr every step of the way.”

WO-S will now move on to face Brookshire-Royal (1-8) in the bidistrict round of the playoffs Thursday at 7 p.m. at Baytown’s Stallworth Stadium.

The last time WO-S played Brookshire-Royal was in 2010 and the Mustangs fell 24-21 in the area round.

“I remember that one well,” said Thompson. “That was a tough pill to swallow. Two different teams this time around. We’ve just got to get after it in practice and not take any days off. We’ve played eight straight solid quarters of football and we’ve got to continue to match that. I thought our intensity has been great of late.”

The Bobcats will represent 12-4A as the third-place team and will take on 11-4A runnerup Bellville in the bidistrict round. It will be the fifth straight playoff trip for the Bobcats and Coach Josh Smallet.

On their next possession, the Mustangs put together a seven-play, 51-yard scoring march.
The big play came on third-and-12 from the Bobcat 39 when Watson threw a nice strike to receiver Blake Robinson, who made a nice catch at the Bobcat 3. On the next play, Kavyn Cooper broke up the middle for a three-yard touchdown to put the Mustangs up 14-0 with 5:45 in the first.

to 27-0 with 6:14 in the half.
The Mustangs made it 34-0 with 4:25 left in the half after a quick two-play, 55-yard series. Watson hooked up with Hawthorne on a 16-yard pass and then Cooper was able to break a couple Bobcat tackles over
