Welcome to Lumberton. After 1/2 time the stands cleared. Probably a 1/3 of the stadium (band parents) got up and left. I get it. They want to see their kids perform just like I would, but have a little respect and community pride. A few weeks ago, the band was set to perform after the game. The players and cheerleaders were held hostage and made to sit and watch the band before they could leave the field. It was disgusting. Not the performance, the band is good. But the fact that the band parents (not all, but many) cried and whined and complained that they didn’t get any support from the athletic department. Stupid. The band is a part of the game, and I enjoy them. But when the FOOTBALL GAME is over, the kids who’ve been playing all night, bruised and banged up, hungry and ready for a shower shouldn’t be held hostage. And if the football parents, players, cheerleaders are forced to stay and watch the band, isn’t that just false support and a lie anyway? I wonder if after the next band competition, the band members will be forced to watch the football team run some plays or lift weights. Pure crap.

Ok, we can call it temporary. That might be true. Might not be too. And it depends on what the definition of temporary means. 5 months, 5 years...who knows? Cure probably won’t ever happen. Just like the flu. I wear my mask at the games and try to sit away from people in the stands not in our family. I do that so they don’t stop the kids from playing. For that reason, I hope the MCM attendees do what’s asked. You know what’s really freakin ridiculous? The kids lining up 5 yards apart to “shake hands” after the game. They just had their bodies in a massive tangle with blood and sweat and spit being passed amongst one another, then at the end of the game, they have to march 5 yards apart and wave and be like, “Hey girl...”. Stupidity from above. Never ceases to amaze me.

Pretty much. The Diboll/Crockett game this week should be for the district title. Coldspring will be third quite easily. I'll probably go with Westwood to take the final spot. Not sure the Trojans will have Buna in bi-district though. The Cougars still have some work with Anahuac and Kirbyville still on their docket.

Personally, I wear a mask in public. Don't necessarily like it but it is a requirement. It will be interesting to see how, or even if NISD officials or NPD will handle any situations that may occur. We shall see.

I disagree with the "leading" part. If you were to see his career stats and the game film that I have seen, I think you would understand some of the fans disappointment in the QB play the last 3 years. Foster is the safe play right now.

If both coaches and refs agree to run out the clock..i dont see any problem with it. Rule or no rule

If this is from the UIL rule book then there’s no rule violation being committed regardless of interpretation. The periods are 12 min long, intermission (halftime) is meets this requirement, a min between first/second and third/fourth qtrs and no period ends on a non dead ball. It says nothing about the 12 min period following the timing rules of NCAA or NFL football..... or a flat out count down from 12:00 to 0:00. A “running clock” is actually more within these rules than shortening a period/quarter length (makes mention below varsity level which is why you often see 10/8 min quarters for JV/JH games) at the varsity level (which I’ve never seen done) and adhering to standard clock/timing protocols. Bottom line if both coaches and officials agree to “run the clock” there’s no potential to violate UIL rules or present an opportunity for investigation, violation or protest in the future.

I’m going to go with Vidor 28-14 just to be a contrarian. 😉

Absolutely they can. Westwood struggled to stop the run against Diboll and Coldspring has a good run game. The Trojan offensive line just needs to do their job and Coldspring will be fine. #20 should have a big night against Westwood.

Thanks!

What???? That's illegal according to @THE DUDE

Coach Randy crouch has got to go !!!!! He has done nothing for this program except dragging it to the ground!!!!

I thought Jasper did good against Carthage, it let me know more about em. Now I think Jasper is definitely a contender come playoff time. For this game though: poor Shepherd.

I doubt there will be a complaint. As you noted, the UIL does not provide for a running clock. So in order for officials to do it, they must have the consent of both coaches. So, the presumption is that both Prouse and Thibodeaux agreed to the running clock. As Red Jolly Roger noted, even the Deweyville second teamers (or as much of a second team as you could have at the 2A-II level) got significant playing time. I think we can be assured that every Sabine Pass Shark got significant playing time. So all of the kids got significant playing time. Both coaches agreed to it. What is your problem with this game going to a running clock again? If you wish, you can certainly approach the DEC, but I really doubt that messers Hodges, Willams (both Mark and Eric) and Miracle will find much merit in such a complaint, nor will their respective administrators.

We need a younger coach. Someone vibrant . I mean we are paying Crouch 102k year. 10k a game?

I’m happy my kids don’t go to LCM.

Really the way this district is playing out I think I'd rather let either @WOSgrad or @AggiesAreWegive their expertise on how this district will play out if their thinking the same as me then we will be 3rd as usual with a match-up with Buna in the first round

If we win against Palestine Westwood then we see the major 2 teams in our district... Hopefully we can pull out 3 wins (and I can actually see us beating Crockett) but then there is Diboll

Boy’s basketball?? Since when lol

My mistake. I thought Soulja made the post I quoted. My bad.

😂🤣

I may not believe what your saying but I believe you believe what your saying! Lol Pirates Offense have shown they can score quickly also. If all of Vidors defensive starters are back I think we’ll take care of business.

One is from God and the other from government. Typical liberal/socialist argument!

All I know is when the other starting QB was benched and Foster was brought in as a Sophmore, that’s when Silsbee football took off eventually en route to the State Simis...

Mr E was my dad!

Does a crouching bear sh.. in the woods?

Baseball? I guess I should have asked which team she is going to watch that will be atleast 2nd best in the district.

They tried a whole game with the Sophmore QB and the results were about the same. I don’t think Silsbee’s problem was QBing. But that’s neither here nor there. They’ll win out the rest of district and finish second as they have the previous 2 years. They’ll be in every game in the region if the team is not WO-S or Carthage...

Be careful, that's Livingston by as much as they want.

I whole heartily agree

Yep. But running against the BC Defense might’ve had something to do with it too! Lol.

No problem

My thought exactly.

Honestly at this point if we don't get our act together we may place 4th in district (although it's probably not going to happen) and we may have to play EC first round and that's definitely a loss tor

They also only had 2 practices and a walk through after their monday game against Burkeville. Suited out just 15 kids vs Deweyvulle

THIS!!! All the troubles that was going on at BISD at the time, I would not blame any parent for moving out to another school district. Particularly East Chambers. EC is an awesome school district. But, in the cases that I suspect some of you are talking about, it was family moves that brought them to EC, not athletics. BTW, I believe BISD has their act together now (or at least better than it was).

It’s a lot more than that. Coaches, kids and community. Gotta have all three. Y’all don’t. You can fill in the blank(s) as to what’s missing.

I see it this way as well.

Very unpredictable

Idk about that, after watching that entire game today against Sterling, they are very limited in what they can do, they have a running back basically wildcatting it. Run right, run left, hand off up middle, sprinkle in a pass to a tight end or back out of the back field to keep you honest. If he is cleared medically, whether he’s rusty or not, he will be runnin the show. Friendswood front 7 is pretty stout, secondary is SUSPECT.

Easy fella...DV starters took a seat after the 1st Qtr. How about we leave it there. (Please message me if I could explain what a "running clock" means....

FINAL: Newton 68 Warren 0

Animal Control is called to MCM to pick up some pitbulls on the loose after they maul some poor lil Injuns. Png parents are seen afterwards talking to lawyers preparing a lawsuit for BULLying.

It helps when you get to recruit out of Beaumont

Vidor doesn’t have to steal this game.... They’re just going to take it!

If Vidor controls the line of scrimmage on the offensive and defensive side of the ball they should win this game. Of course having all their starters back wouldn’t hurt. Good to #23 and #55 back on the field. They are GameChangers!

@RaiderGirl2010 congrats on y'all's win.

Let's go Jasper.

Keep it up Jasper

The second half will be a tell tell for jasper. If jasper can keep it close it will speak for its self. Good ball game
