  1. Lumberton does have a good team.  I think maybe they need to alternate players as far as finding a consistent setter.  Nothing against the current setter, but I did see too many balls set too close to the net, too far from the net, or set to the other team when I have had the opportunity to watch them play.  Good luck...........

    setting has a lot to do with how the ball is returned to be set. Unless you are out there doing what the setter is doing, you have no right to say anything about any setter. IMO, she does a outstanding job every game, are all sets perfect, no, but neither are any other setters in the world.You also have to know which person is hitting the set over the net. Some like it away and some up close. Just let them play ball and support them every game and wish them well in the rest of District.

  2. District 22-4A volleyball tight race ... as predicted

    By JOHNNIE WALTERS, The Enterprise

    Carissa Barrows knew it was a possibility.

    Before the volleyball season began, the Lumberton coach predicted a tight race in District 22-4A.

    And as it stands, Barrows was right.

    Lumberton is in a three-way tie with Ozen and Little Cypress-Mauriceville for second place at 6-4. Central, Nederland and Dayton are tied for fifth place at 4-6.

    Port Neches-Groves sits comfortably in first place with an undefeated 10-0 district record.

    "We have talked about the district being close all year long," Barrows said. "I think it's going to be a tight race all the way to the end. It's all about which teams will fight hard the entire schedule."

    Before last Friday's games, LC-M had sole possession of second place with a one-game lead over Ozen and Lumberton.

    Ozen defeated LC-M 3-2, while Lumberton beat Central 3-2 to join the Bears in the second-place spot.

    "You can never give up in this district," Barrows said. "You really never know what's going to happen in this district. There have been a lot of surprises. I think if you play hard every night any team can be a contender."

    Lumberton continues district play today with a 7 p.m. showdown against PN-G at the Rock-A-Noos' gym.

    "You have to give PN-G respect because they are undefeated in district play," said Barrows, whose team lost to PN-G in its first district meeting. "They know how to win over there and they have a history of success. But it really doesn't matter who your opponents are if you do your job and give 100 percent on your side of the court. Any team can lose on any given night."

    The Raiders (22-10) won the final three games against Central to win the match last Friday. After Central beat Lumberton 25-13, 25-23, the Raiders won the last three games, 25-22, 25-21, 15-8.

    "It was a good game," Barrows said. "We really stayed focused and played our game. Everybody really gave a good team effort to get the win."

    Senior outside hitter Laurie Abbo, junior outside hitter Alyssa Valastro and junior setter Courtney Howell have made the biggest impact on the court. But Barrows insists the team comes first before individual performances.

    "It's a team effort with us every single night," Barrows said. "We don't really have any major standouts that really stick out every game with us. We work together to win games."

  3. Our only other A ball pitcher at the tournament got hurt in the 1st game.  I asked Terror coach if it was ok if the 21 year old could pitch 1/2 a game , to give Danielle a little break. Thanks Coach Dan For allowing her to pitch. Just wished she could have pitched some against us. Im not going to pitch someone thats not ready for A ball, and take a chance on getting them, or one of our other players hurt.

    She told me that she was just 16, did not even have her drivers license yet. Good smoke job bigcat... Glad to help you out. We had a good time also, moving girls around..

  4. Marty, great job today at the Crush Compound. Feilds looked great( good mowing) and good food. Too bad that CC did not have this good help in Beaumont. Enjoyed the day with you. All I heard was " Boy sure is quiet with out Rags here". Blues even had a good time, with it. 

    [move]Thank you [/move]
