27-24 Vidor 11sec left

20-17 Pirates 4 mins left in 4th

From what I'm hearing, our defense is beating down on their QB pretty hard. Sounds like our offense needs to step up their game and get some points on the board.

Thanks.  Want to avoid if I go home after work.  Probably going to Sabine Pass where G'daughter playing Volleyball (depends on how my boss feels - she's under the weather).
Go Pirates!

So my lovely little Timehop thingy on my phone that tends to make me remember just how old I really am, reminded me today, that 5 years ago tomorrow the Pirates BEAT Ozen 46-35......

Me plus 8! lol then again we never miss a game.
And my little Pirate cheerleader is running out of the skull behind the boys

I was a couple of years behind Coach Law in school.  I sit through those games, eating Rolaids and taking Valium- or was it eating Valium and taking Rolaids?  Lol

from one of your biggest fans. First and foremost, I apologize to you and the coaching staff for publicly calling your coaches out over the last two games. We should never call into question things the coaches do if we are unwilling to go to them and discuss in person. I feel I was wrong in the criticism I put out there especially since I want nothing more than to see you all succeed and play your hardest. So, I ask all of you, especially VP77, to give me a pass. Besides, the decibel level at our football and basketball games will gone by -10 if I'm not there. Second, don't put too much stock in what people say on this board. It is mostly a bunch of old, crusty guys who still hold on to their former glory days through you all. There are a handful that actually know what they're talking about, most of us are guessing. Half of what is said on here is us messing with each other. Third, congratulations on what I think was the greatest offensive display in Vidor football history. You could have easily made it 100 if you had wanted and kept Lee's scoring by half of what they finished with. Something to be very proud of. Finally, I expect the best from all of you. Friday night, you have the opportunity to take this season into your hands; to determine your path to the playoffs. I expect this homecoming to see the field littered with the remains of little purple and yellow fur balls that the buzzards which line the sides of the highways have to come in and pluck with their beaks after the carnage you make of the Panthers.
OBLITERATE OZEN!!!!!

Heck I can remember back in our Coach Law days and fans were chanting "up the middle, up the middle, pass, punt!!" Those were the longest...games...EVER!  Then when Murphy took over and my brother played, we were 5a (which is now 6a) and holy jesus those boys were HUGE!

Ozen should feel disrespected.  This is the 2nd homecoming game that they've been scheduled for....
 
Disrespectful!l. 

I don't have a dog in this fight, but being a HS FB Fan. I was  at the lumberton game Saturday.. And I have seen every team in the district play after today. This is my opinion! 
PNG.. I  read today they have the best defense in the district statistically, going into the season all I heard was how good PNG  offenses was.  and their offense is very good and explosive, but from what I have seen Png will beat you however you allow them to beat you.  Meaning if you put 8 in the box on defense  they will throw it up and down the field.if you put eight outside the box they were running it down your throat..  And yes Baytown Lee had three lineman on the D line and 8 in coverage.. So they ran for almost 300..  So pick your poison.. 
Nederalnd.. They have an explosive offense, but their defense is in question.  They have a great coach and he always has his team ready to play and will make any adjustments at halftime to win the game.
vidor..  They have an unbelievable running game coach Mathews has got the wing T rolling..  And like Nederalnd their defense is  their weakness!  But you better be ready to put your running shoes on because they can outscore you on any given Friday.
Central..  Very athletic very fast, young quarterback that definitely needs some improvement but very talented. The best running back in southeast Texas, but their offense line scares me.  And they also put the ball on the ground too often.  Their defense is above average but need to find some leadership it seem like there's too many I'm the man guys on their defense.
Lumberton..  They're very well coached very disciplined, and they are hungry!  They have a very good running game,they have a really good tight end but their best player in my opinion  is number 77 on their offense of line. And number 44 is a beast on the D line.
GCM..  They have some very talented players number 10 is unbelievable.  But they have two quarterbacks that alternate . You know the old saying if you have two quarterbacks playing that means you don't have one! 
Ozen..  They have so much speed and athletic ability, but don't seem to be conditioned as well as I thought.  Their offense needs to stay on the field longer to give the defense a rest. 
Baytown Lee..  I saw some flashes of some really good talent I think they need to come together as a team and play for each other they have a lot of heart a lot of fight in them, They just need a few players on offense and defense to step up in a leadership role. I believe they will be better next year .
in that order that's the way I see this distric unfolding.

I guess I'll become your first enemy... But here it is... And I promise I will not make another post on this because I'm only going to throw out football knowledge after this..... 
So here goes...... Raidergirl, nothing on you becasue your a legit fan that I Respect.....
But.........
if you are looking for a PARTICIPANT ribbon, you won't find many on this board.....
Lumberton gets some respect earned for playing mistake free ball and inspired.........
But to win, and win consistently. You have to change the culture.... Participant ribbons get you what you have......... At the end of the day, you LOST.. So if you want the moral victory, so be it...... But it's kinda like when your kid is in T Ball, and the losing coach is telling the kids... "We are all winners", guess what, they usually keep losing.  But when the coach that wins all the time finally loses a game, he tells his kids, we lost and this is what you did wrong, and we are gonna get it right or else... Guess what, he's usually the guy that walks around the ballpark and all the moms hate him.. Because all he cares about is winning..  So they say... Well you know what..... I like to be the guy they hate...... So in the Nutshell.. WOS kicked our butts....... No participant ribbon for us... No moral victory.... Just another loss... So tell your boys to strap em on, get ready for next week, and knock some heads around....  Change the culture... Participant ribbons are overrated.  amd playing clean, well that often leads to playing intimidated.... Central did nothing I seen that was dirty... That's called SWAG... You know, not in my house stuff.... And guess what... It worked........

Best homecoming halftime show in the Nation..... Let's Go Pirates!!!!! I say we win by 14.

What's interesting in this discussion is that Vidor's OC just called a game that resulted in over 80 pts and over 700 yds. The same coach that,  when the cupboard got a little bare in Lumberton for a few years,  he was run out of town. Sometimes,  the coach doesn't have as much to work with. That's not dogging the kids,  it's just reality.  I believe Matthews and his staff are doing the absolute best job they can for those boys. And if that is the case,  then let the coaching staff do their job and don't belittle them on here when you disagree. That doesn't help your program.
