Sad thing is no matter who we bring in the same people complain about that coach too.

Big loss for Lufkin in my opinion, but there was no parting with his OC who was the issue with the district. Abseck complicity to not control his OC interactions, player discipline and laments with administrative people was the main downfall. Abseck did a lot of good getting the Lufkin program back on track, especially at the sub-varsity levels. He implemented other facilities improvements and was instrumental in helping to pass the bond for the Lufkin new stadium. Hard to figure the connection he has with his OC, because the two come across as polar opposites. I liked Abseck but keeping the OC around did not help this outcome. This OC scenario will replicate itself wherever he lands, the old saying "it's hard to change a leopards spots". No need to say more. I do wish Carl Abseck all the best success in the future.

I gotcha. And yes, our 3A coverage is pretty loaded.

No, lol we are right where we need to be. No issue at all with us being unranked. I was just saying all the ranked teams are 3A, We should opt up to 4A with less ranked teams

Big facts

I think his son still coaches at A&M Kingsville. He might try the college ranks where he doesn’t have to mess with some of this other stuff. Never know.

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.

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.
