Lumberton 80 Silsbee 70/FINAL

Lumberton’s finish this year can be attributed to two things. A super coaching job and a weaker than normal district. With what they graduated last year and what they had moving up I would have never got this prediction right. After watching them several times earlier this year I was surprised they beat Silsbee at Silsbee. I guess shocked would be more accurate. I watched Coach Mitchell since he was at Hardin and the credit for the Raiders resurgence is his. He’s changed the culture of Lumberton’s basketball program. Congratulations Raiders !!

So you did not know they had a d1 starter returning?  (Lumberton)

You do know they lost 4 starters and only had 2 returning varsity players back from last years team right? They also lost another good senior who started some games. 

That means nothing.  Go look at any boys basketball program in the last 50 years (as long as I have been around) in SouthEast Texas.  If the team has a D1 basketball player returning, that team will finish 1st or 2nd in their district HANDS DOWN 10000000% of the time.  There is not an argument that opposes this fact.

I totally do not agree with that lol, yeah maybe at Silsbee, Ozen, Nederland, programs like that because they still have other cats

A 6-6 wing who handles the ball and is a D1 talent is enough to finish near the top of any 4A district.  In this district, it was a no brainer.   It was always going to be them who presented the biggest challenge to Silsbee.

Agreed. Coach Mitchell deserves all of the credit in the world, but returning a D1 player of that size and skill will get you first or second in that district.

With what Lumberton lost losing the 4 guards they lost from last years team and only bringing back McClure and with BC, LCM, bringing back basically everyone and you have Silsbee who has tradition and athletes everywhere No nobody thought Lumberton who has made the playoffs 4 times in history would be district champs lol this is a ESPN come on man moment.

That is not the case 100% of the time. Could show you many examples that counter your point.

Plenty of us thought they would be top 2.  Great coach and the best player in the district?  Not rocket science.  Silsbee-Lumberton-BC were the class of the district coming in and it was going to be a free for all for that last spot.

Correct.  One from a few years ago comes to my mind 😉 (and in a lower classification).  
 

He’s going to be right way more than he’s wrong though, especially when dealing with a wing with size who can handle and shoot it, or a PG.

I gotta admit picking games and finishes this year I’ve been awful. Even without the injuries I would have missed on LCM by a mile. That being said there’s no way any one could have projected this finish. For the Raiders to win the district everything had to fall perfectly in to place, which it did for them. The Tigers getting hit with Covid opened the door and Josh’s crew took advantage. Still after watching the clubs in the district several times I would never have picked the Raiders and after they played Silsbee in the first half of district I felt even stronger about the order of finish. Good to see an underdog win it. The playoffs should be fun. I’m not picking a winner in those 😂😂🏀

    • Yeah, I got that but talk about a stretch. It should seem obvious that Trump’s prosecution is purely political. If someone is going to do a whataboutism, at least make it similar.  This is so ludicrous that it’s like comparing a ham sandwich to a wallet.   
    • You consistently try to say Trump ran our debt up and that the stock market and job market cratered during his administration (along with other MSNBC talking points). That is a flat out LIE, and you know it. Not only are you telling a mistruth, you knowingly are telling a mistruth...which is a blatant LIE...which makes you a "(I don't remember what word you used to describe Trump, something like a purse for dirt)" does it not? You know for a fact that the economy, stock market, and job market was thriving under Trump. You know that the Democrats controlled the house, and proposed a budget that would hurt the economy, in which he shut down the government. Even after this fiasco brought on by Democrats, our economy flourished under his administration. Then Covid19 hit, and the blue states shut down the country. YOU KNOW THIS, but continue to blame Trump. You lie...blatantly. Again, what do we call these people that partake in disseminating misleading information. You coined it...that purse thing. Does the shoe fit? I bet it does. It is amazing that you try to put "MAGA people" into this little box for the soul purpose of allowing all negative attributes of anyone that will vote for Trump instead of Biden to be attributed. That is a sickening modus operandi of stupid people. It is hard for me to believe that you would adopt that childish stereotyping. But since you are willing, I'm willing to push back. I'm a Trump supporter. I will gladly vote for him over Biden. So get busy putting me in your silly little box of stereotypes so I can embarrass you some more. You've been shot down by practically everyone on this board when you say stuff like Trump is their Messiah, or that supporters overlook his flaws. Everyone on this board has stated that they don't agree with Trump on much of his behavior, but you ignore these statements and continue with your lies. Oh yeah, since I'm a Trump supporter, those comments were also directed directly at me. So let's go. Prove I'm a simpleton that will ignore all of Trump's flaws and vow to disown the bad ol' orangeman. Let's continue that diatribe you peddle. I now am interested in responding. I also have boxes I can place people in. Whose box is accurate? Better yet, whose box is more embarrassing? I'm fairly certain your box is more entertaining for the board to make fun of. TDS should be included in the DSM-6, or revise the DSM-5 to include it since this phenomenon is so pervasive now. You are a walking, talking picture of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Do you like that box? Can you refute the rationale for placing you in that box. Everyone can refute your rationale for placing them into your irrational box, while you languish in your TDS box.
    • Clinton got impeached because of it. David Pecker said it was true about Stormy today. Under oath.
    • Election interference. Cheating.
    • It’s not about worrying about Trump’s morality. It’s about him being held to a totally hypocritical standard that is applied to anybody else that’s not him. Double it if it happens to be a Democrat. What he did to Ted Cruz in 2016, for example. Accused him of extramarital affairs. Really? And the gang cheered the Master on. Sick is what it is.
