I would suggest you visit the Equal Justice Initiative, aka the Hanging Museum, in Montgomery, Alabama. That is a horrible word that white people have forever forfeited the right to use. It's about a days drive and will leave you in tears. As for black people, some of us have turned it into a word of endearment and others would bury it. I go back and forth on it every day and have educated my children why it's not a good word but I understand why we as a group use it amongst each other. I can't call my lady' friends the b word but she can. I have no problem with that. Taneshi Coates said it better than I could, that ain't y'all's word and y'all can't tell us what to do with it. [Hidden Content] That said. The punishment seemed fine, he seems remorseful and I hope he comes out a better person because of this.

It’s a word nobody should say and everybody is held to the same standards or people get over it. One or the other.

You are a true "Pirate Champion" and your nobility is to be commended. Unfortunately, once the district beatings commence there will be no evidence of the qualities and characteristics that you have identified. DV will once again resume its true form as a coaching graveyard/automatic win for opponents.

You have to excuse 89Falcon. He is always quick to stomp on the downtrodden.

Yep, I should've known...Thank you 89Falcon for your prediction of Deweyville's season. If you could maybe go back to the original post and have someone read it and explain to you, that'd be super. Nevermind, I'll do it.The post drew a comparison to highlight the many similarities between these two schools who share the Pirate mascot and happen to be ~15 miles apart. I never once beat my chest and claimed world domination for either of these teams, I'm certain ESPN is interested in your 2A high school picks...I'm not. This was for the "historically horrible and slow" teams who "are about to be run off the field"every Friday night...it matters not, they will still show up, work their tails off and leave absolutely everything on that field for 48 full minutes...for their Coach, their teammates and their town. Not for themselves...that's the entire purpose of my post. Go Pirates! Black & Gold or Red & White...Its a Great day to be a Pirate.

I'm white, but very sensitive to the use of the word because of what Jasper has gone through as a result of the behavior of racists. I wish this kind of stuff would stop, but it just seems to get worse with society being the way it is lately. Common decency and respect are becoming lost concepts to a lot of us.

No. Barbay stopped scheduling Silsbee last year. They last played in 2017. In fact, Silsbee has won the last 5 of 6 against Jasper. That might had something to do with it along with a few other things.

I honestly think he/she hates all the schools in the area

“Choose not to be harmed — and you won’t feel harmed. Don’t feel harmed — and you haven’t been.” – Marcus Aurelius Not that the word is ok

You’re one of those guys huh.

It’s up to coach Barrow now. Put players in with heart and keep the program to were it’s been for 20 plus years, or keep down this road and people will be calling for a change. You can’t be afraid to hurt feelings. That’s why I love football. Many life lessons can be taught to these young men besides X’s and O’s.

Just sippin this tea.

I just have a funny feeling that this is the come together game we've been waiting for....27-24 Titans.

Sounds like he was using as a slang. In my house, I rather u drop an F bomb than use that word slang or not

Following SETX football, one could not help but to recognize the similarities between the two Pirate football teams here. Vidor and Deweyville. What do these two programs have in common? Obviously, they share the Pirate mascot. Both Pirates seem to always be the underdogs, no matter the opponent. Both Pirates are considered small in their respective districts. Pirates generally give up size, speed and talent to their opponents. Pirates have no quit. Pirates play with all heart. Pirates have no fear. Pirates are tough and resilient. Pirates are bought-in to their programs and have a deep-seated loyalty to each other and their Coaches. If Coach Matthews or Coach Prouse asked their young men to attack a nuclear submarine, all you'd hear was the splash of the warriors hitting the water. Obviously we're not getting sized for our State Championship rings but if you appreciate a hard working, hard hitting, never give up, gut-it-out type of football team...y'all are always welcome, we'll save you a seat. It's a great day to be a Pirate.

SETXSports would like to welcome King's Pharmacy as a sponsor for the remainder of the Lumberton Raiders football season. King's Pharmacy will be the halftime sponsor of the Lumberton Raider Marching Band as well as the football team during the game. There is still plenty of high school football action left this season and it is not too late to get your business in on all the action and if you are interested we have our new TOTAL PACKAGE that can get your business on every broadcast for the remainder of the school year. Call 409 466-2641 or email [email protected] for complete information on all the sponsorship opportunities that are available on SETXSports.

That's where they store your crazy meds?😂

Nope. Jasper has fear.

I think Splendora wins but stranger things have happened. But it will be competitive. As for my alma mater, As long as the Bears play not to lose ( which is what LCM has done outside of 93-98 when we weren't scared), there's a chance. I'm looking forward to visiting Battling Bear stadium for the first time in almost 20 years. Never sat on the visitor side so this should be fun. There's no one in this district that can take a team for granted. Ain't no team in this district is a name that inspires fear in their opponent, like say, WOS. Overlook the Lions at your own peril. They are extremely fast. Livingston is going to win 2 district games and play in November.

U know I ask the question all the time.with all that talent why want they try other routes with other guys.and every now and then they try to sneak rb out the backfield. They could be so explosive if they ever mixed it up.

No my brother. D1 D2 would be much easier just like last year. Looks like Tompkins will be going D1. Only real threat I see is Pearland Dawson

Whoever her successor is has no idea that victims of him/her are already being assembled

So the kid is a punk. He is from Katy so not really surprised

I think LCM, Huffman and Lumberton will be top 3 in district. Hard to tell in which order right now. This game will say alot

I know it is crazy..... We sit in the stands and pray no one gets hurt because you can see the energy lost by the end of the game. I know one thing my son will definitely be in condition to go the entire game by the time basketball season gets here.

Dang, that is horrible to hear. Hope the young man recovers.

Stangs with an easy one. Jump ball fades will not be very useful against WO-S and WO-S stacks the best box in town to handle the runners. 34-7 Stangs

Not the dominance I was expecting.

We have finally made it to district play for the young Bobcats... the beginning of basketball practice.

*I posted earlier but I need to make a change. Game #20 should be Shelbyville instead of Deweyville. 1. Beaumont United 2. Beaumont West Brook 3. New Caney 4. Barbers Hill 5. Port Neches-Groves 6. Nederland 7. Vidor 8. Little Cypress-Mauriceville 9. Lumberton 10. Jasper 11. Hamshire-Fannett 12. West Orange-Stark 13. Diboll 14. East Chambers 15. Hardin 16. Anahuac 17. Woodville 18. Newton 19. San Augustine 20. Shelbyville 21. Evadale 22. A&M Consolidated 23. La Porte 24. Porter 25. Splendora

Honestly, the score of this game will be dependent upon the mercy of the SA coach.

Or something... lol

Or maybe at least mental, emotional & possibly, across the board, meta-physical speed😄lol

With the Yankees licking their chops on the pitching rotation for whoever gets thru.

.... and 3, 2, 1

Should be some good ones. Let’s go Rebs!!

East Chambers is far from being arrogant. Sounds like sour grapes from someone who has lost too many times to the Bucs.

Sounds like someone has taken a few butt kickins from EC. All of this rhetoric that you are throwing out there definitely needs to be aimed at your team. Do you want to know why EC comes off as "arrogant" to people outside of Winnie, it's because they believe that they can win any game that they are playing. If you go into the game passive and "hoping" to win, then the odds are not in your favor. Every winning program has that "arrogant" attitude. I don't care where they are from, but they have it. Just look at arguably the greatest QB of all time, Tom Brady, he plays with that arrogant, I'm better than you attitude. I am an EC graduate, and I can tell you, EC used to be the homecoming game for everyone. If you don't like how the BUCS act, then have your team beat them.

Nope. All play on the same field, at the same time, in the same conditions. No premature excuses here.

Agreed... fire sale time.

Negative,maybe by his senior yr,but not now!!!!These players are more worried about themselves and not the team,and believe me I know,their at my house all the time!!I stay on em but does no good!!!!

Both are historically horrible and very slow. In regards to DV, they will be run off the field soon enough in district. They may be able to make a run at "not being last in the district" due to HD being in the district.

Seems to me there is at least one Raider who has some jets. I don't remember his number all I remember is he started a good 10 yards behind a Silsbee receiver on another assignment and in about 40 or 50 yards distance he nearly ran down the Silsbee receiver who was running away from our other player if he'd had another 5 or 10 yards he would have caught that receiver. I don't think the Lumberton defense is as slow as people are thinking. JMO

Well i mean so do I. Lol

Wouldn’t surprise me if this game was decided by 3 points or less.

It’s almost always an 11 o’clock kick. I guess it’s become a tradition. Not sure why. They do the same thing with Army-Navy and it’s usually the only game on that Saturday.

Seems to me if someone has a problem with officials and how the games are officiated, they should become an official themselves and have a greater appreciation for what the do. On that note, I’ve seen some terrible ones in my day 😂

Sounds like his dad is remorseful.

Practices start end of the month and games start the middle of November. Should be some good teams in the area again this year at most levels. October 30 Boys Basketball: First day for practice November 9 Boys Basketball: First day for scrimmages November 15 Boys Basketball: First day for inter-school games
