Got a story appropriate to this game,
An Indian walks into a saloon where there was a Pirate sitting at the bar.  He’d heard of, but never seen a Pirate before.  The Indian noted the Pirate had a peg leg, a hook for a hand, and a patch over his eye.  His curiosity aroused, he gets a stool next to him and strikes up a conversation.  “You look like heap big warrior.  Why you got that peg leg?”  The Pirate replied, “Well lad, we was caught in a storm off the Cape, and a big wave knocked me overboard.  Before me mates could haul me up, a shark bite that leg clean off.”  
“Holy buffalo dung”, the Indian replied.  “What about the hook?”
“Harrrr, we be down in the Caribbean boarding a trader ship for the booty, with guns ah blasting, and swords ah swinging, and some devil of the sea chopped me hand off.
“Son of a yeller bellied bluecoat, that bad poo”, said the Indian.  “How about the patch over your eye.”
“A seagull droppin’ fell in me eye”, the Pirate answered.
”You lost a good eye to seagull poo?”  The Indian ask incredulously.
”Well”......said the Pirate, looking down embarrassed, “it was the first day with me hook”.
 
 

I’m not sure what’s worst, the AD’s pathetic remark, or the UIL’s punishment, which is totally inadequate.  

Being a WB graduate, this will be a blowout. WB too strong for United.

You gonna have that special Gatorade delivered to you? Lol

I'll be back in the broadcast booth tonight for this one. Looking forward to a great game.

Terrible news,QB is damn good player & great kid.  Hope he recovers in time for baseball season.

I agree. I don’t think we have any major injuries on defense, but if we can’t sustain drives due to injuries on offense then it may be tough on them. 
Having a sophomore starting at qb will be good for the long run.

I think Coach Babin will have the team ready to go even though we have a few starters out. It's up to the players to go out and give 100% and if they do it should be a ball game.

I graduated from Livingston in 2017 and from my point of view from being on the team it’s hard to win when the players aren’t shown actually how to play to game! Yes we were taught on how to do the plays and all that but most of the kids didn’t know the basic fundamentals of football! We didn’t have the morning workouts like winning programs do! We don’t have specific things that we go through each season to make us better and most importantly there is absolutely NO CULTURE! We went 5-5 in 2016-2017 but that’s nothing special but was a upgrade from the 1-9 and 2 2-8 seasons! Then going to 0-10! We had the coaches without a doubt, the players are what made us have the records we had! It sucks seeing Livingston in the spot they’re at right now but it’s strictly on the players! And most people think Vanover is going to change the way Livingston is, and they’re hopefully right BUT, it’s not going to happen in 1 year, especially with Livingston! But I say 28-14 Livingston wins against Huntington!

There are still a couple of us Lions that like to read through the comments, but as you can imagine we don't have to much to say. As much as I hate to say it, our program, at least at the varsity level, is about the worst I've seen. Its just awful. To me, it looks like our kids try their best, and I can't say I've seen them through in the towel any game, but we just don't have any size, speed, or frankly talent outside of a couple kids. The culture in Livingston is one of the biggest problems in my opinion. We don't breed winners over here. The kids aren't expected to win, and honestly it looks like we don't know how. For the sake of the players I hope they can this week and maybe get some momentum rolling. Coach Vanover and his staff seem like they're giving everything they've got, but with what we've got right now I don't think there is a recipe for success. I've heard our freshman team has been looking pretty good, so maybe in a couple years we can get back to being some contenders, but for now we're just looking for a win.

I'm Mason's dad. If you had been to all of the games you would have seen that Mason does not run the ball every time he goes in on offense. He goes in to block and as a decoy which works out well. They think he is getting the ball and he don't.

IF this was a healthy Lumberton team, I would say they would have a good opportunity at pulling the "upset". But, it isn't. I think Silsbee wins by 10 ish. I will be shocked if this game is a blowout. 

Furr and Kirbyville were good confidence booster wins.  Don't assume Concordia Lutheran is in the same private school talent level as to the likes of Kelly. Concordia is well coached, quick, disciplined and they run a very efficient offense. They have had great success in other sports and show to have great athletes. This will be no cakewalk for the Lumberton Raiders. A win here will have to be earned.       

Lumberton:
strengths- running game. Even with our starter out we’ve been running well. I think once our qb gets back in action our passing game could be good as well. So i would say our overall offensive balance would be a strength especially in our new district. But that will depend on how his knee holds up.
Weakness- injuries. Strong safety has been out, Middle linebacker has been banged up, starting receiver has missed time, and starting qb/rb have both missed games but could be back this week, for sure by the time we play Silsbee.
