So if you have low expectations of your team it’s ok to lose every game? Got it. Let me write that down...

I agree with GuitarMan. I was surprised. If they had even the slightest bit of discipline and motivation, they would be a helluva lot better off. I’m not talking down to them either. That’s just what I saw on one Friday night. But the record speaks for itself. They’ve got some big tough athletes. No reason they should lose the way they are. Just an observation.

Careful. No guarantees all will be healthy in 3 weeks. If they are then it will be a much better game though. It’s tough in small town football. One or two key injuries on a team that may have 30 or less players can be devastating. Each week can be a new story. I know we all like to huff and puff and brag on our hometown teams, but every Friday brings new challenges especially as the season goes on. LC-M & Lumberton both have a chance at winning the regular season finale game. Just depends on what happens between now and then.

But they beat y’all. What does that say about Livingston?

Amen on that.

Final?

Being a dumb one doesn’t look good on you.

I’m not mr. English guy. I didn’t understand the post. I already apologized to him. Backoff.

Important game for this district!

Do you remember Shakey's pizza back in the 70's, I guess? The crust at Brick Oven is very similar if memory serves. As far as the sauce goes, my wife also likes light sauce. I like it a little on the plus side. At Brick Oven, you can get a pizza that has the regular sauce and some Frank's Hot sauce too. Really pretty good flavor. We don't eat there often. We usually get a basic New York style pizza at Napoli's in Lumberton, if not Mellow Mushroom or Crown. Napoli's plain pepperoni is very basic but very good...

Well, they gotta get yards somehow! Lol... Cheap shot, I know...

If anyone understands the quote above, please tell me... I'm dying to know.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have "call (you) about English". It didn't offend me, whatsoever. I just didn't understand what you were trying to say - honest. And I still don't. But I do accept you. There might be a chance if you type something and then read it back to yourself to see if it makes any sense to anyone before you quickly post it then it will make sense to others as well. Maybe even read it a couple of times or get someone to read it first before you send it. I'm sorry if your feelings were hurt. That's not my intention. I just thought maybe you had been drinking or something. And I wanted to know if Franklin was at least bi-curious.

Doubtful. Not a smart move. That’s what Practice and off-season are for... Unless, of course, you’re trying to teach your kids what NOT to do.

I’m not quite sure what you are trying to say. Probably my fault. I got stuck taking English in school. Did you say Franklin is bi?

It could happen, but no one will really know anything til they set the cutoff numbers.

Lord I hope not. Us trash here in Lumberton are at least a little recycled. Lol.

First and foremost, they are also what their parents are or at least what their parents allow them to be.

Thanks. We will give one of those a try.

You deserve what you demand. This is advice for lots of teams. Good coaches, good parents, dedicated athletes and community support. If you lack in any of those elements, you stand to lose strength. If the good folks of (insert town name) want better, they have to produce better.

Lol. I guess BC is the middle-aged guy on a bicycle that says, “man, I’m gonna get one of them cars one day...” Not really, just trying to add some perspective to a person throwing stones in a glass house. Lol.

Because you think it will be a bigger spread?

Well, Raidergirl... you're not really helping your cause with an I ❤️ Tony Romo on your avatar. Sorry, couldn’t pass it up! 🤭

A real fact-filled sensible retort to a very poignant argument. Thanks Richard. I’ve probably been to more Lumberton games than you’ve gotten up in the morning. Haven’t missed one since 2004. Been watching or playing in them since the early 80’s. I love you Richard. Hope that helps. Thx for the lesson.

Do you think Lumberton had back-ups in the games you're talking about? On the big wins, they had 2's and the few 3's in the game. On the losses, they had lots of back-ups in due to injuries at many positions including QB & LB. Weak arguments Richard. And you could care less about seeing Lumberton win every game. If so, you would offer suggestions or support instead of baseless, factless, biased negativity.
