Massey projections has this one 50-6 PA Memorial

Carl Abseck has resigned as Lufkin High School’s athletic director and head football coach, Lufkin ISD confirmed Tuesday morning. In two seasons leading the Panthers, the team went 13-9 with one playoff appearance. Prior to his hiring by the Lufkin ISD board of trustees in a January 2025 special meeting, Abseck coached for four seasons at Barbers Hill High School in Mont Belvieu, leading the Eagles to the area round of the playoffs each year. Abseck was the head coach at Cedar Park for six years before that, where he led the Timberwolves to a state championship, a state runner-up, and five district titles. “Lufkin ISD wishes Coach Abseck success in his future endeavors,” the district said in a statement. Abseck’s departure means Lufkin is looking for a new head coach for the second time in three years after having two men lead the program over the prior three decades. John Outlaw, hired in 1995, died in December 2011, and his successor Todd Quick retired following the 2024 season. “The district will focus its immediate planning on maintaining continuity across its athletic programs, addressing immediate leadership needs, and establishing a timeline for the search for Coach Abseck’s successor,” LISD said in the statement. After Abe Martin Stadium’s final game — a 24-14 Lufkin win over Beaumont West Brook — the team fell 42-7 in its 2026 season finale at La Porte. The Pack’s new coach will lead the team as it plays all 10 games in 2027 outside Lufkin. Four home games are to be played at Homer Bryce Stadium in Nacogdoches before a new stadium opens on the Lufkin High School campus in 2028.

No thank you

Yeah because who would want to deal with all that. I get it the OC rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. I will say that I never had a bad interaction with him and never had a problem with how he coached my kid.

Silsbee is currently playing with 4 varsity players (1 starter). The rest are freshmen and JV players playing up. Silsbee is waiting on about 8-9 football players to fill out varsity roster (3-4 starters). The bulk of their scoring will come from this group. Silsbee will have at least 2 freshmen on varsity this season with one pushing for starting time.

Silsbee's results from their scrimmages last Saturday in Shepherd: 20 minute running clock halves Silsbee 13, Huntington 8 Silsbee 27, Shepherd 9 Silsbee 26, Cleveland 13 Silsbee is currently playing with 4 varsity players (1 starter).

I wonder if Dez will be vocal about who Lufkin picks as the head coach like last time…

Man I think Abseck wanted out of this mess anyways. Those folks ran that mean clean out of here smh

The result of this game will depend heavily on how healthy Athens is.

I actually went to this game… Stafford opened the game on fire…I give a ton of credit to Silsbee for the adjustments they made because early on they had 0 answers for the Stafford offense. As much is said for the great athletes Silsbee has run on the field the past few years… Coach Smith and his staff do a phenomenal job

Prove me wrong Coach!! lol I got my eyes on y'all.

It was embarrassing as a Lufkin fan. Thats not who we're or what we're about. The parents have enabled that behavior around here. My son was one of the ball boys that traveled. The kid that got ejected had planned to hit a LaPorte player during tha handshake. Discipline starts at home. Now we have to blow everything up and start over. Our 9th and 10th grade classes are loaded. Now they have to learn a new system and the Coach will have to start fresh on his evaluations. Im hoping we can keep some of our assistant coaches that were former players here. We have to really good ones in Kordell Roger's and JaVante Ellington. That would help the transition because they will know where to put each kid.

I'll be looking in during the Celtics game, good slate of college games tonight starting with Sparty vs Duke.

That’s the big If, and why EC is a 3 seed. Turnovers against that Fairfield potent offense and you will lose.

I’ll be following this game closely. Interested in how both defenses play. if EC don’t turn the ball over 4 times they can win.

Something must have been going on before the La Porte game. I saw jawing from both sides on the streams. I don't think that was the main cause of this issue. Maybe, something else brewing for a while and this was the final straw? I don't know. I watched both streams just to see the different viewpoints. Both sets of commentators tried to downplay to a pretty good extent like they were embarrassed as well. I'm not on Facebook, so I don't know if anything else was/is going on there. I know it's the first time in my 45+ years of watching La Porte football that I haven't seen them have a post game handshake. It was probably for the best, because it's also the first time I've seen a player blasted way in the backfield when the team was trying to kneel in a victory formation to end the game, and get the teams off the field. I would guess the La Porte players got a good chewing on as well. I saw Berneathy jumping all over a couple kids near the end. Not a man I would want to be upset with me. He's a pretty large man, and I've seen him pretty animated when players do stupid stuff. La Porte was playing backups from about the end of the 3rd on. So, I don't know a lot of the young men that were on the field in the latter parts of the game.

Lufkin is ran by idiots and entitled parents. Literally seen a parent celebrating the coaching change on FB. His kid was literally one of the ones ejected against LaPorte. Lost count of the number of drops he had on the season too. Like this whole situation over spilled because of the personal fouls by Lufkin from that game. Earlier in the year they dont like the way the OC talks to the kids but after last week they want the coaches to rip the kids off the field by the face mask. Good riddance with this current SR class and their parents. If you're getting your head bashed in by 40 as freshmen its probably not going to change when you're SRs. They blame everyone but themselves for their kids being bad a football and then acting like punks because their kid is a sore loser. Abseck had the program going in the right direction..The new coach Will have a lot of pieces and talent to work with in the 9th and 10th grade classes. Oh well this is my rant. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

The Link I sent wouldn't open hopefully this one does. [Hidden Content]

Queen Hinojosa to freeze electricity costs. “So shall it be written, so shall it be done”. Lmao. Should instigate some “No Queens” protests. Glad I took the plunge for a Generac. It will get me through those rolling blackouts. What’s the definition of insanity?….doing the same thing and expecting a different result? Maybe she should look to NJ and see how this same policy fared. [Hidden Content]
