no..ha! but would like for the Pirates to make it a little more respectable!

May have to wait for next year at Pirate Stadium for that!

It's not ugly now?

Vidor's defense is young, (2 returning starters), and small .  Couldn't contain BC last week and will likely struggle again tonight.

Good point about talent being the great equalizer over numbers.  Just because you have 40 some odd players suited up doesn't mean they'll all play.

Lately a few have been pretty obnoxious as they were grinding their axes.

Vidor is so unpredictable, they could shock Kirbyville, but not this year.

Next year will likely find the roles reversed as far as experience and returning starters go.  That's one of the things about two year scheduling in predistrict,  there's always that chance to redeem a first year loss.

Why worry about the score being run up,  remember, a tough predistrict schedule only helps a team...right?

well everyone knows the slot t is a run first system and, it works when you have the right personal to run it. Last year Vidor had the perfect personal for the slot t. This year Vidor does not have the size for the system and they will get pushed around most of the year. If you watch most teams that have a solid program they run a system to fit there personal. The option system that Vidor did for so many years would not be a bad system for the team you dont have to block the down lineman the qb reads the tackle then the end. All i know is dont expect much out of the Pirates this year and by the way did anyone else see the nose tackle for Vidor maybe 140 soaking wet. I bet png and all the other teams in district are licking there chops seeing that

Yeah, Vidor's nose tackle is the smallest varsity player at that position,(or any defensive/offensive line position), that I have ever seen, I estimated his weight to be 135-140 also.

Evidently there are some fans, BC and Vidor, that don't realize that the Slot T offense that Vidor runs is first and foremost a run oriented offense.  Throwing the ball is not going to happen more than a very few times a game.  It is a ball control type offense and is not conducive to playing catchup when the other team opens a two or more score lead.
It helps when your defense can keep the other team's offense off the field and can come up with a few 3 and outs.
Vidor would have had to basically change offensive philosophy mid-game and that usually doesn't work so well.  You saw the results, one completion, two ints. including the late pick six.  (Although the first int. was an ill conceived halfback pass and was not thrown by the QB).
Would a more balanced, but still run-oriented attack work better?,  I think it definitely would and I would be surprised if the coaches don't work on the passing game a little more.
However, don't look for the spread to be instituted at Vidor.
Finally, last night, it wasn't the offense that was the problem, I believe it had almost 300 yards.  You have to be able to stop the other team and get your offense the ball.

No passing game.

Arsenio Hall plays for the Dragons?  Gee I thought his eligibility would have been used up. :D

Comically sad :-[

Livingston opened up with a nice win over Jasper, but evidently Jasper has some issues at this point in the season.

Looks good for 20-4A so far  ;D
[/quote]
Just 7 and 7 so far with Ozen up for the tiebreaker.

OK, I see that the defense needs lots of work and some of those guys are really small.

He was good tonight!

WB vs Memorial should be a good one.

Expected a WB win, just not a blowout.  Good job Bruins.

Yep, but at least it was pre-district.

Well now i am wandering if Texas High played there jv against Vidor last week i thought vidor was goin to be bad this year and last week i had a false sense of hope. Tonight was the first time i got to watch the Vidor Pirates play i really think that Vidor needs to do nothing but tackleing drills all week in practice all they did was dive at the feet at the runners and it didnt work. The refs did suck really bad but Vidor would have lost anyway. It will be a very long year for Vidor this year and look for mr. Ford to have a great game next week. Vidor looked horrible, the defence is so small they will get pushed around all year. I really wish Vidor would have lost by 45 to Texas High because it really gave false hope that they might really have a decent team. I cant find a team that Vidor can beat that is left this year!!!!

Tell us how you really feel!  LOL :D

This will bite in the playoffs if not before.

Surely, someone on campus can kick a PAT?

Wow, that sounds like a 6 man score! :o

I think you can only attribute the field goal to the officials with the clock not running on the long pass play.  Tonight BC was the better team and deserved the win.

Some observations on the game,  BC has a very legit running and passing game.  Great kickoff and place kicker. Kickoff coverage excellent.  Defense was salty, didn't let Vidor break off the big run.  Menard and Dishon every bit as good as advertised.  Bridge City will make the playoffs this year.
Vidor obviously is inexperienced with 4 starters coming back from last year.  Very small on defense, noseman looked to weigh about 135-140.  Except for Clark, running backs are small also.   Need to practice tackling and pass defense.  Offense showed some life with the running game, passing "game" nil.  This will be a rebuilding year for Vidor.
