Lions Pride 2021

I agree. No. 2 and 21 were awesome. We kept them honest and by the middle of the third, the game wasn't so fast for the Lions. It was a big step up in weight class. No offense to the well coached teams we played so far, 6A is a different animal. I think we got more out of this loss than we would have gained playing an undersized Kountze. Hopefully our friends in Hardin County get well soon.

Livingston traveled south to play the Nimitz Cougars. A good learning experience. Thanks for the game Nimitz. Good luck the rest of the way. On to Porter.

Gosh. How many ways you want me to say it? I called CSO out by it's full name and included the address. When I was a kid, being called by your full name was a sign stuff just got serious. I'm writing in English, the common language of the land, so maybe you need to work on comprehension. Just a suggestion.

🤣

Sunday is a day of peace and reflection. I'm on record saying Livingston is beating the Coldspring-Oakhurst Trojans. For those who couldn't infer that from my last post, I am clearly stating Livingston will win in its visit to San Jacinto County's seat of government.

Why brag about a game you're supposed to win. We're coming your way soon.

Game cancelled. Livingston plays at Woodville Saturday at 1:30 pm.

This is sad to hear. Hope it gets better down south.

Livingston made the trip west on US 190 and beat the Madisonville Mustangs 64-56. Good luck Mustangs on the rest of your season. Livingston won the dunk count 1-0, in case anyone keeps up with that kinda thing.

Y'all don't read. Leggett basically played the Frosh/JV team because the starters were playing football. Beating Leggett is nothing to be proud of if you're a 4A school. You're supposed to beat a super small school. Even when you're shorthanded, like Livingston was. Livingston's student body,(or any big 4A school, for that matter) is probably at least 20 times bigger. The very reason we have classes is so schools like Leggett can play against a level field. And they do a marvelous job in 1A. Being happy about that win would be like LSU fans rushing the field after pounding McNeese or Texas pulling up goal posts after hammering Lamar by 50. I might have been the only one on the Livingston side at Trinity that wasn't whopping and hollering during the blowout because Livingston was supposed to win that game and win big. But again, I ain't from here, and I expect a little more. Being good enough to beat Polk County schools ain't good enough to win in district.

Ain't no shame in losing to Nederland and Brian English. That guy is a heck of a coach.

As a Livingston parent, that game does nothing to prepare the Lions for district, which at the end of the day is all I care about. Sure, you can find exceptions to the rule, but for the most part, 4A teams shouldn't be scheduling 1A schools. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. Get out your feelings.

We're beating Coldspring. Lufkin will be tricky but is winnable. Im glad New Caney and Porter are on the schedule. Shepherd will lose both games to Livingston. Probably badly. They ain't want nothing in football and they definitely don't want none in basketball. Livingston is doing no worse than second in district, depending on tie breakers. Again, 4 out of 5 starters and a few key bench players were playing football. If those guys were there, it would have looked like the game in Trinity. No way a 4A school should be scheduling a UIL 1A school for a game unless Kendrick Perkins or Stephen Jackson is suiting up for them. Leggett is awesome for 1A, but only one kid on their team would be starting for an average 4A team. I don't say this to be mean; I only think 2 -3 of our kids could start on a good 5A team and maybe just one on a 6A team. Level of competition is just higher. I hated these types of games when I was a student, when I was a sports reporter and I hate it as a parent/spectator. I've gone as far to say I hated that West Brook was forced to play Central and Ozen in football because it wasted games the Bruins could have used to get ready for district. I'm not from the area, so I don't care that the other polk county schools want to play Livingston. They're too small and those schools should probably be absorbed into Livingston. it would give those children better facilities, more class options and better opportunities.

88-33 Livingston. Lions pulled starters with 6 minutes left in Q4. Trinity played last four minutes with just four players due to foul trouble. Livingston plays at Onalaska Tuesday.

Four of the the five starters were playing football. It was basically JV/Frosh Livingston. Its a no win situation. If you don't win by enough, you're not good and it generates dumb comments. If you blow them out, then why are you playing them? Trinity, Leggett, Onalaska and Goodrich shouldn't be on this team's schedule.

I hate Livingston's schedule. There is absolutely no reason for this game to be played. Good game by Leggett.

it was a great season. As a long time follower, if you told me before the season started they'd fall short in bi-district I would have taken it every day of the week and twice on Sunday. They grew a lot, I didn't think they would get this far when the year started. Hopefully this is is the beginning of many good things. My time obsessing over HS football is over. It's been a pleasure. On to basketball and then graduation!

I know people in both towns so I'm staying away from this one. I'm predicting a good, close game.

you will have to buy them online from the New Caney ISD Website. I think the sale starts tomorrow. That goes for all games at Randall Reed.

Livingston fan here. I've stated ad nauseum that Jasper is probably better due to the size of the offensive and defensive lines. But Jasper isn't head and shoulders better and I'd give the Lions a good shot of beating the Dawgs. As far as this game, Livingston should win. And they should win next week too. I think the end of the road is a match with Lindale, which could be a shootout. I think the district of Doom is a little overated outside of Lindale and Kilgore. No one played defense. It was a track meet every Friday. Huffman can definitely beat Palestine. Livingston's ill advised fake punt in the back of its end zone was the end of that game.

They have people that can catch the ball. Livingston was very lucky no one knows how to catch in 10-4A-I

Lufkin TV has called it the district of Doom all year. They're good, but I think they can be had. I expect Livingston and Hargrave to win. It may be close, but a win is a win. And if Vidor limits turnovers, things could get interesting. Friday was the first time in a long time that Vidor looked like Vidor. That Vidor is a dangerous team.

Carthage has a nice stadium. Been there a few times over the years and is a great setting. Lindale is high flying. Anything you can do to shorten the game will help. That means run the ball and don't snap it until there's a few seconds on the play clock. And by all means, don't over pursue on defense. Do this and y'all can make it a game.

Vannover has done a tremendous job of turning this thing around in 3 years. It was a complete teardown and rebuild.
