Vidor at Lumberton - this ones for the playoffs

[Boneyard Boys]

Well it has come down to this, winner take all for a playoff spot. I didn’t think either team would be in this situation, for different reasons but here we are. Vidor or Lumberton to represent our lowly district, as a 3 or 4 seed to face a tough Lindale or Kilgore team in the first round. Who ya got? I think the Pirates have the bigger, better athletes but Lumberton just might want it bad enough to pull out the W at home. I just hope we get some decent referees and the players give it their all because this will be the last football game ever played for the seniors on one of these teams.

Teams with a losing record should not make the playoffs. If you only have two teams with winning records in your district, then you only send two. The other district teams just get a bye to the second round. Going to the playoffs with a losing record is like rewarding them for just being in the district. Let's just give them all a  participation trophy. Wish the UIL would go back to just two teams going to the playoffs.

Vidor has a chance to finish 4-4, I think the best Lumberton can do is 3-7 but yes I agree with the general premise of your point.

And I'm just talking about district record. Not overall season.

Has Lumberton faced any teams that ran the Slot-T this year?

[AggiesAreWe]

This is a no brainer.

Silsbee beat Lumberton 56-14 and according to some Vidor fans, Vidor would beat Silsbee.

So..........

Vidor wins this one

Yes they can and alot do but most JV players don't play unless game is outta hand. The only reason they cant is if a player is a transfer and had to sit out calendar year because of transfer.

[sheldon1364]

Just saying it would help the Pirates offense a little to combine the both if they do make the Playoffs.

Injuries to key players plays a key role of who beat who an when. I for one never said Vidor would beat Silsbee but I do think Vidor was capable of beating Silsbee. I just hope we can get a decent clean game from the refs.

Idk 🤷‍♀️

As usual, which Vidor team shows up.   Perhaps the Lumberton fans are wondering which Raider team will show up.    Personally, I wouldn’t bet a nickel on this game.

Generally not, otherwise they would have already moved them up. Due to injuries, Lumberton has freshmen starting for over 3 weeks. They will bring JV guys up due to injuries or in playoffs as a reward for playing good on JV. 

[Rez Ipsa]

I think Vidor can pull it off. 

[sheldon1364]

The Pirate Defense is the best defense in there district.  if by chance they get the offense back on track and cut down on penalties they may have a chance to go two deep in playoffs. but the running-backs have to step it up.

Vidor has barely enough to form a JV team. If they make the playoffs then maybe some JV players can join the Varsity.

Why would we need JV players? We already have enough capable bodies that aren’t used enough.
