Tim Riggins

Ok I have a lot of thoughts to unpack before I move on from this one. You can’t have a 1 man run game with this offense, QB ran great but missing #23 hurt (suited out dnp gimpy I guess). He’s a good strong runner and a good blocker in the run game. They were giving us the pass all night, daring us to throw but early on we stubbornly ran right into the teeth of the defense. Had an open TE (both of them) all night, but only threw a couple times in the first half. We have to hit the open pass of course, need to put some touch on the ball when those guys are running wide open. Missing #55 killed us on defense, but change the scheme. A 4-3 front with some big pluggers in the middle would be much better against Splendora. Make them throw it or they will just hand it to 22 all night. Their QB threw 1 good pass, there rest were not so good and I didn’t see any WRs that can hurt you. We have athletes but they are on the sideline, have to mix some guys in both ways and try to get your best players involved. Put some of your big OLinemen on the defense to stop the run every now and then. We put a DB in the backfield in the 2nd half and he immediately made big plays for the offense. We put some big OL on the Dline in the 2nd half and the defense held them scoreless. Make adjustments and make them quicker, the same old thing is not always going to work and you have to figure that out early on 21-0 is too late.

I think a lot of folks underestimated the Bobcats.  

Based on the comments made by Jasper fans/posters prior to and after the game, it seems that they are some of the classiest around.  Props to them and congratulations to the Bulldogs on a hard fought win.

I agree with you. The Pirates did a heck of a job most of the night. I was really impressed with how they came out after halftime, too. Jasper showed me a lot after that with how they responded from being behind. I saw a lot that I liked out of both teams and they'll both get better after this. 

Close games killing you, ha, you act like you've been in an OT game on the road in a hostile environment with the other team playing some horrendous rain dance song with a purple ballerina. 😁

Once again thanks for the play by play BB, much appreciated.

Knew this would be a good ballgame. Vidor gave us fits. Have a good season, Pirates! 

Vidor, you played tuff!!!  Good luck on District, and the playoffs.

Appreciate that. We're a small group, but we try to call it like it is. Every now and then someone will join and start stuff, but we run them off pretty quickly. 

Thanks again BB for your play by play.  It is much appreciated.

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

Alright this g looking good for the Pirates this season. This IndiAns pulling for big things for Vidor this year. Best of luck Pirates 

Congrats Vidor! Glad to see you doing well.

Don’t want to give you the big head, but you do a great job of posting the action.  And us old timers who shouldn’t be driving that far at night, & others that can’t go for whatever reason,  you & this Forum do a fantastic service.  Once again, my sincere thanks.   I look forward to you posting the next 12 games.   🥇☝️

Lot of mistakes tonight but BP and BC weren't pushovers either. Definitely quality opponents. Lots to work on before district, but if they can clean up the mental errors consistently they have a chance to go far this season and as always; It's a great day to be a Pirate baby! ☠️

Agree, lot of mistakes, but not bad competition from Brazosport or BC either.  

Yes it would have! Hopefully they get this cleaned up before District Starts!

All true, but at my age, I’d love to see the 4th Qtr start and Vidor have a 21 point lead.

LCM and Lumberton both went 2 rounds deep, Carthage is going down, Reg 3 Div 1 is kinda open in my eyes. Vidor hung tough in 5A, they are going to a lot less competitive district, the writing is on the wall is for them to be very competitive and excel greatly at the 4A level. But that’s my honest opinion, 

Congrats Pirates.  Imo, you’re definitely one of the top 2 or 3 in District.  But it just didn’t quite work out.   Still, most are proud of your efforts, and I’ve seen more positive comments about this team, from other fans, of any Team I’ve seen on this Forum.  Stand tall.

Final 50-28. Congrats to the Vidor kids and coaches. I was really impressed with how hard your kids played and the execution was nice. Number 55 at nose was dominating as was most of the team and not afraid to hit for sure. Not sure how old that Simmons kid was but he ran hard and had nice speed. Dayton is 1-22 their last 23 games and it’s hard to watch but I think the kids continued to give good effort even though I’m sure it’s not easy. Oh well glad to see both teams finish injury free and wish all the seniors from both teams the best.
