Pretty sure this was one of, if not the main reason he was brought to Kirbyville and it's not like Bennett is in total shock by the outcome. Surprised by the timing maybe. Bennett will land on his feet somewhere. He's bounced around for some reason (I won't go there) but he's a good coach.

Raider DBs need to learn to turn their heads to the ball, especially on deep passes. Didn't see it happen once last night. Luckily the Livingston QBs overthrew their target consistently.

So frustrated. Couldn't buy a call from the refs until the game was getting out of reach. Colbert is NOT a QB! He's an athlete. The lateral passing game sucks. Absolutely no imagination. Coach wants a gimmicky offense with a running QB. Not working. When he finally called some vertical passes, that's all he called. Mix it up. On top of that, Colbert and Allen aren't consistently accurate down the field and both throw into coverage. King, Banks, and Wanza look to be very good and will only get better. Punter and kicker look to be pretty good. The defensive does weird blitzes at times, like 2 or 3 in the same gap.. If they guess right, it works great. Guess wrong and runner isn't touched for 20 yards. Hopefully the coaches look at the film with an open mind. They haven't up to this point. Feel sorry for the kids because they're giving great effort. #PeckEm

I wouldn't underestimate A-Mo or B-Mo. A-Mo has been undersized his whole career and it's been a pretty good one. He has the best arm in LU camp by far. Coaches will get tired of the dink and dunk, run for your life style of the 2 front runners at QB. B-Mo wasn't the best pitcher on PNG's team this year if you asked anyone. Then he wins MVP at state then MVP at the Babe Ruth World Series also. I wouldn't doubt either of those boys.

Can't wait to see Devwah on the tube this year!! #WPS

He definitely knows what's up with PNG sports lol. Also dad to best QB on the Lamar roster imho.

This! Very well said! The Lady Cards were the underdog in practically every game in the regionals and the finals tournaments. They sure didn't act like it. Gritty team!

Ugly way to end the final game of your inaugural tournament. It had rained pretty much off and on all week. I've seen the rule invoked like this once in little league baseball due to time restrictions on finishing a tournament but this is different imho. The time I saw it was due to the lightning monitor going off. This was just rain, plain old rain just like every other day of the tournament. You've GOT to find a way to get that last out done in this situation. I'm pretty sure the director realized that later as he tweeted that he made a bad decision and it's all on him. On a lighter point, AWESOME showing by the Lady Cards. You made us all proud!! #PeckEm

I saw that and the meeting was Monday not Tuesday.

I kinda thought these sports forums were for posting opinions or as you say "invent" opinions. Please enlighten everyone to the "real" story so we won't be so clueless. I feel like I've contracted a disease or something lol.

It's interesting that Dr. Cammack, local orthodontist and fixture in the community, resigned as the announcer doing color commentary for over a decade for Jasper football games this morning. He's also an elected member of the school district board of trustees. All is not well in Jasper currently. Ugly mess.

The conference bracket is pretty crazy I know that. 8,7,6, and 5 seeds have to win 4 games in 4 days to be champs. 4 and 3 seeds, 3 games in 3 days. 1 and 2 seeds, 2 games in 2 days. Virtually impossible if you're the 5 thru 8 seed. I believe 3 out of the last 4 years the conference championship game has been between the 1 and 2 seeds due partly to the fatigue factor inherent with this bracket system. It really rewards you for your season conference record, etc.

Only one year of eligibility I believe. Big straight ahead runner that has an injury history. I believe he can play immediately with the transfer rules.

Hearing James White is transferring to Lamar.

Word is Kerwin Bell may be one of the finalists. I could definitely handle that.

I know he's an offensive genius but is he ready to be a D-1 head coach?

Good, solid hire in my opinion. If he does great and moves on in 3, 4, or 5 years so be it. Unless you want a mediocre coach at Houston, this will be the deal for a long while. It has worked for them in the past. As for his affair, I of course don't condone it, but he owned it and has been a model citizen/coach since. Like someone stated, let he who hasn't sinned cast the first stone. As for Kiffin, I wouldn't say he's a weasel, more like a complete douchebag. ;-)

Thanks to coach for starting football back up from scratch. IMHO Jason has done a decent job as the AD. There's not an AD out there that hits a homerun every time. His recent hires look pretty good to me. I don't think we're gonna pry Urban Meyer or Tom Herman away to come to Beaumont. Kudos to Woodard for keeping it classy to the end. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Yeppers. Good luck to all of the coaches and I hope they all land on their feet.

In honor of the MIA Buddy Garrity....Whaley rushed for over 100 yds and 1 TD Saturday. Woo Pig Sooie!!

The OC was the O-line coach at one point wasn't he? Demotion back?

Pretty silly indeed. Coach Babin is about as quality a coach as Lumberton can ever hope to get. Everyone got all excited last year when they finally made the playoffs again. Anyone actually around Raider's athletics would know that was a special graduating class. They come and go with a school this size. Babin will utilize what he has year to year and adapt. The team this year was a very competitive and hard working bunch. Be proud of your kids and team and support it. If not, move along. If junior isn't starting, it's probably because he's not good enough. There's no crime in that. The dedication, drive, and commitment you get from high school athletics will serve any kid well in his or her future occupation believe me.

Poor effort again in the trenches. Ugly. Either they get some juco kids on the line next year or it'll be a repeat of this season or worse.

Their line play on both sides of the ball was worse than just bad. Center had 5 or 6 horrible 2 inch high rifle shot snaps past the QBs in shotgun formation. The D-line looks like they've packed it in. I feel sorry for the seniors that are still giving good effort. The young kids look like they're gonna be salty the next 4 years.
