I’m not gonna post it. Because I don’t know anything for a fact. Just what’s being said within the community. It’s not my place and I don’t wanna spread misinformation. It didn’t work out and I think the blame goes both ways. Lufkin could end up regretting this, or it could work out. Who knows. I’m just here 😅 lol

Thank you. PNG hit paydirt when they hired Joseph. I’ve wanted Lufkin to so bad try and go get Jamie Driskell from Malakoff for years.

Unfortunately, the college recruiting landscape has changed. High school athletes are no longer competing only against other high school recruits for roster spots. They are competing against experienced college players entering the transfer portal, often from major programs in the SEC, Big Ten, and ACC. With NIL opportunities and easier transfers, a proven athlete can leave a powerhouse program and immediately become a potential starter at a smaller Division I school. For coaches, taking a player who already has college experience can feel like less of a risk than developing an incoming freshman. That doesn’t mean high school talent has declined. The pathway has simply become more crowded. High school athletes now have to compete for opportunities against players who are older, stronger, and already proven at the college level.

21 3A - Diboll

Looking over schedules in the FCS to see if LU could move higher if they win out and some higher ranked teams fall. Very odd situation is seeing 5-5 Abilene Christian ranked #24. However it is justifiable and they could help LU this weekend as they face #6 Austin Peay. ACU 5 losses are to Tarleton, SFA, Mercer, Lamar, and some unknown school named Texas Tech. The 4 FCS losses are to the presently ranked 1, 7, 8, and 11 teams in the country. What a schedule. They will simply play 5 highly ranked FCS teams and a ranked FBS this year. That has to be one of the toughest schedules in FCS history and I say that without exaggeration.

As an Indian fan I watched our program go from average to Coach Faircloth building PN-G back into a first class program. Just as he is doing in Sulphur Springs. Then comes in Coach Joseph and Coach McDaniel. Literally two of the brightest coaches I have seen. Lufkin is historic, talent rich, new digs incoming, and all the variable's that a good coach would want to be at. When PN-Gs job opened up there were 135 applicants. I can imagine Lufkin being somewhat similar. The only factor that could change that is if there is conflict between the board and previous coaches that could warn off top tier coaches. Lufkin is one of those old fashion well known historical programs. That carries weight when the applications open up. Lufkin's first ever game was played in 1911 I think against Nac though not 100% sure. I would be excited. I just hope they build some sort of selection committee to help with the hiring. PN-G did this. Imagine a group of schoolboard members selecting a coach vs one of the best, and winningest coaches in Texas High School Football selecting your coach. Best of luck Lufkin from a former Zavalla student.

What is the rest of the story...allegedly? We would like to know.

My original post was never about the kids on either team. It was about an adult. Those of you who have somehow found ways to make this about the Warren kids need to try some critical thinking.

That's what they think, cool. Check-ball. 😈

You guys are missing the point with all these be tough and play better and real world comments. Those comments insinuate that the Warren kids didn’t play hard or quit. You are insulting them. These kids, most of them are 14 and 15, played both ways all night against a superior opponent. This not a real varsity caliber team. I hate that and it needs to get better or the school does need to consider what the purpose of the program is. Despite the state of the program, there was no quit in them and that is honorable. They tried to the bitter end. I take zero from the Hardin players. If you are on the field you go 100%. They are talented and Winners. The Warren kids wouldn't have been given any false sense of the world if Hardin had just ran clock and gotten subs in earlier etc. Hardin would still have dominated them. And that’s ok. Some of you are the ones focused on a game, not real life. Sports reveal character. I for one, do not have the ego to think mercy and sportsmanship are unmanly qualities. Real Men are capable of acting contrary to our base instinct and desires.

Lufkin should have plenty of interested coaches.

Coaching Record by Team High School Team Tenure / Seasons Record (W-L) Key Highlights & Achievements Cedar Park 2015–2019 (or through ~2020) 71–10 5 District Championships, 2015 Class 5A Division II State Championship, 2020 State Runner-Up Barbers Hill (Mont Belvieu) 4 seasons (prior to 2025) 31–17 Led the Eagles to the area round of the playoffs each season Lufkin 2025–2026 (2 seasons) 13–9 1 playoff appearance; resigned in November 2026

The only "glaring" omissions in these picks for me: 19-5A Baytown Sterling not making playoffs (return several from last years playoff team) 21-3A Diboll (who is state ranked) not making playoffs (Diboll basically returns everyone from last years team) 22-3A Warren missing the playoffs 24-2A Hemphill not making playoffs Also, I think you can throw a blanket over these five teams in 18-4A: Bridge City, Jasper, Silsbee, Vidor and WO-S. My picks would be: 1. Silsbee 2. WO-S 3. Bridge City 4. Vidor

Pelosi knew it was a bad idea, which is why she didn’t vote. You think they would learn after two impeachments that failed…..

I thought I was pretty clear, in January they will try to impeach Hegseth again, and it will fail in the Senate. Then they will try to impeach Trump if that fails. what they should do is let both of them play out their two years, and hope they get the presidency…. but they won’t, which gives Republicans a much better chance in 2028.

Per Google Bud Yes, many economists, policymakers, and analysts describe the economic policies and market shifts during the COVID-19 pandemic as one of the largest and fastest concentrations or transfers of wealth in modern U.S. history.

Nothing fake about it, do your research BUD.

That is the heart of Reaganomics. Rob from the poor, give to the rich. Could you not interpret the graph?

That’s old, fake news, bud.

I watched them against Huntsville too. They have a few good players, but as a whole, PN-G will handle them like the last couple of teams they faced. 50+ points more than likely with lots of playing time for the backups.

If and buts were candy and nuts we all would have a Merry Christmas. Was this posted for bulletin board material? lol
