Great.  I wasn't able to make it, but I'm glad they did well.  Silsbee was dominated pretty bad in the scrimmage last year.  I'm glad the experience will be a factor this year.  

Also glad that Lowe will be a major weapon early.  Last year for several games at the beginning of the season, he was out.  

So, did Collins look pretty good passing the ball?

In the varsity portion that I saw, I recall that Silsbee scored 4 times and that Lumberton did not score.  I left before it was complete.

BTW, they had the Silsbee kicker kick some.  Special teams will not be an achilles heel for the Tigers this year!

Great.  No going for it on 4th down or extra points this year.  Such a relief!

Honestly, we were getting to him and as soon as our guys touched him they blew the whistle. So didn't really get to see much from him.

You see this scrimmage is a prime example of how a coach views these events differently from the fans here.

Coach Babin, going into this game, didn't set out a game plan for Silsbee.  There were things that he had seen at practice that he wanted to further test under a game situation.  Sure, they keep track of who gets in the end zone more and I don't know any coach that wants to be on the short end of that count, scrimmage or otherwise.  But Coach Babin certainly saw what he needed to see today.

I'm a little late to the party, but.........I got some raw stats, nothing official. 

Silsbee   5TDs 1FG               Lumberton  2TDs

Varsity

Passing 7-18-143-2-0            14-23-169-1-1

Rushing 21-241  3TD             21-87   TD

Turnovers     0                           2

JV            3   TDs                     0TDs

Passing 4-16-115-0-0            1-1-2-0-0

Rushing 9-52  3TD                 23-(-15)

Turnovers       0                        2

First things first I don't think there was any serious injuries. I hope the elderly lady on the Silsbee side that got to hot and had to be put on a stretcher in an ambulance is ok. Silsbee has speed, that's a given every year. Another year in new coach system has them looking more comfortable. Things to work on is consistently in passing game and blocking up front. I like the effort. 

Lumberton has got size, huge size. They are a load. They can pass and move the chains and can push the pile with that big Oline. If they can get the right combination they will be a hand full.

Coach Smith, going into this "scrimmage", didn't set out a game plan for Lumberton. ;)

And it was obvious as well, there are plays that worked for the Tigers that, had this been an actual game, Coach Smith would have gone back to time and again,

Neither coach sets a gameplan in a scrimmage. They set plays that they want to see on film and they run those.. it might be 3rd and 15 and if a run play is the next play on the list then that's what they are gonna run. I guarantee you we as fans put a lot more thought into who "wins or loses" a scrimmage than coaches do. Obviously babin wanted to see what the passing game looked like (and in my opinion it looked pretty decent) and coach smith wanted to run a basic offense. His concern is probably the offensive line so he probably wanted to see if they knew their basic assignments (that's just my guess). Everyone knows they can run Adonis between the tackles every play and get 4 yards a play when it comes down to the real game. No need to do that for an entire scrimmage and take nothing away from it.

The only gameplan Lumberton is worried about right now is for porter, and silsbee is focusing on PNG.

Coach Babin was quite happy with what he saw out of the passing game yesterday....at least from the No. 1 O.

    • That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol. 
    • I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.  
    • I’m curious what happened… they aren’t even in full pads yet. 
    • They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
