Pass over the middle was there but the Vidor DB was just in time to break up the completion. 

Whew!  need a score now.

Vidor opening drive was horrible resulting in a snap over the punter for a BC TD

Then the Pirates Drove right down the field and punched it in for 7.

Now BC ball driving to the 50

Need some breathing room!

What's the score of this one?

21-14 VIdor at the half.

Looks like EC is getting untracked.  And  we need to start paying attention scores involving our new district foes. Saw where Splendora and Livingston were leading earlier.

Yes indeed, playing at H-J or Jasper?

FYI:   Jasper 21  HJ 20 at half.

Wow, a lot closer than expected!

Vidor will get the ball coming out of the half 

need to cut down on the mistakes hurting us again

we are having no problem moving the ball but we are allowing them to stay in the game just like last week.

Sooner or later that will bite.   Vidor playing their 2nd game vs a team that is playing their 4th, may be a factor in the mistakes.

Thanks for the play by play Boneyard, we appreciate it!

I believe Vidor turned in 1179 and I believe it will drop even more by the next realignment.

Yes, 1179 was the initial number released, but shortly after that the "official" number became 1206.  Jeff mentioned  the  1206 number in a TV interview right after realignment was announced  and it's posted on the UIL website as well.  Have no idea why the counts were different.

So Lumberton is staying in 4A???

With the new 4A D1 cutoff number at 1229, I believe Lumberton will be the largest 4A school in the state, (numberwise), with 1222.  Andrews number 2 with 1207 and Vidor number 3 with 1206.

Haven’t seen the big play capability, missing those long breakaway runs and when we do get a nice one there’s a holding or chop block penalty. We’d better be able to score against Lee, if they are anything like last year they will put up points.

You're right, Lee is not offensively challenged.  Can't see the Pirates prevailing in a shootout with the issues we're having moving the ball and sustaining drives.

Reading the posts and thinking back, Vidor gave away another game with penalties and ill timed mistakes. We scored with less than a minute left before halftime but kickoff mistakes let them start at midfield. Then bad defensive penalties allow Ned to get to the goal line and basically give them 3 free points before halftime. The Pirates were still in control of the game, with the ball and driving late in the fourth quarter when Ned striped the ball away from our RB. Then we held them to 3rd and 9 at midfield where they completed a long pass on busted coverage to the 15. Then 2 false starts created a 1st and 20 situation which we eventually give up a first down on 3rd and 2. So many chances this year but that’s at least the 3rd game where we give points away to lose the game. Montgomery, PNG and Nederland shoulda, coulda, woulda all been W’s. You could be looking at a 1 loss team and I hate to say it because there have been some bad calls go against us but we just lack the discipline this year.

Agreed.  I don't recall the offense sputtering like it has the past 4 games since the Slot T was implemented.

I posted I thought it’d be closer than everyone thought.  Their DC knows how to stop this offense.  Dead.

I'm thinking they do a lot of film study on Vidor offense.

Whew, excellent defensive effort!  Game a lot closer than I thought it would be.  Thanks Boneyard for your usual excellent commentary.

The way this game has gone for both offenses, that might ice it.  Defense has played great so far.

Pirates have had some excellent starting field position lately.  But only 3 points to show for it.

Looks like SF has the Pirate offense locked down again this year.

I haven’t seen Vidor or Crosby this year, so I’m not going to comment on whether they are better or not than any other year. I will say that the 2012 Vidor team that beat Crosby was pretty dang good. And the 2016 Vidor team that beat Port Arthur and took a much better version of Crosby down to the wire was solid. So it’s not that controversial to say this Vidor team is worse than those Vidor teams. If Crosby is not good (and we’ll have to see about that — it’s a long season) then this Vidor team still has plenty to prove to match up with 2012 and 2016. Things look pretty good so far. Hopefully PNG will be a loss, but i’m rooting for them otherwise . Great win, Pirates! 

The team you're thinking of is the 2011 team, not the 2012 version.  It was the 2011 team that went three deep in the playoffs, losing to Angleton.  The 2012 team ran into a strong Summer Creek squad and lost in the first round.  IMO that 2011 team was the best since the '64 12-0-1 semifinalist team.

Thanks for the excellent play by play Boneyard Boys, greatly appreciated.

I believe he’s still coaching 

Yes, he is.  Has coached at several different schools since he left Vidor.

Then it ought to be a good game.  Historically, Vidor doesn’t do well against the pass.  Been about 25 years since they’ve had some defensive genius, and I don’t know the big bald headed guys name who was DC, but the had to be one of the best around.   But then, Vidor couldn’t score 48 points in a season, much less a game..

1999-2000 Eddie Hatch was the defensive coordinator you're thinking of.

Did Vidor kick any extra points ? I heard before the season started that we might not make an extra point all year.

Last year’s kicker transferred to Kelly for soccer. Current kicker has never played football til now. 

Missed conversions in a close game are killers.

LH needs a little work on covering kickoffs.

La Vega tackles well in the open field.  That’s probably one of the main keys to beating this offense.  

Yes and good overall defensive speed always helps. LH has had some missed opportunities. The dropped pass on the fake punt and fumble at the LV 16 come to mind
