Any Idea what his all time record was. That would be interesting to know. I don't have a clue.I think the world of him as a man but never watched but about 2 years of football while he was the coach.

I had him 3 years as a teacher and spent a lot of time with him during the summer of 93. He wasn't really an x's and o's type coach. He believed in hard work. There weren't any wimps at cloudland during the 80's. The Landers gained their reputation as hard hitters during this era. When I think of a coach Orr team, I think of vinny hitchew running over people like a mack truck

So I guess you could say that he wasn't afraid to hitchew?

I'm not sure of his overall record,I'd say the wins and the losses are pretty close but back then you had to play everybody there was only 3 classes when I played so just making it to the playoffs was a big accomplishment,he did teach hard work,he always said hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard, he wanted practice to be harder than the game,and with some of the players he had he didn't have to be an X's and O's coach. I believe he only had about twenty plays and we ran them so much I still know them.theres just too many things I could go on about coach Orr,his players truly loved him and he truly loved his players

    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
    • I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.
