Nice fight back

True, then they lost in the first round of the playoffs to a 6-4 team by 3 scores.

Lumberton was a 6-5 team last year, and this year they’re 3-1 with one pretty good win. I think they’re a top-20 team. Their only quality win is against another over-ranked team, who I happen to cheer for, and work for the district, so I’m not being biased here. If they’d won against their only really good opponent, rather than losing by three touchdowns, I’d be okay with their ranking. As it is, they’re over ranked, and I don’t really know what criteria Dave Campbell is using to rank them so high. This is taking nothing away from the raiders, who have a good team, probably their best in quite some time. But there’s a big difference between being a good team and being ranked 7th in the state.

Yikes

Were you at the meetings when WOS had a C rating in 2019 (no ratings the last two years with COVID), but had a better football team? Or is the B they got in 2022 only a problem because the football team is struggling? Honest question. Because if you ask me, bringing their academic rating up from a C to a B despite the challenges of learning through COVID is quite an accomplishment, and should be celebrated.

They are, but that’s always a crapshoot. St. Thomas was ranked last year as well, and then lost their first round playoff game to a 4-7 team that lost THEIR next game by 40. Lumberton is a good team this year, but they’re still over ranked. Their schedule is pretty soft, so they have a really good shot at finishing the regular season 8-2, with an okay shot at 9-1. They go undefeated in a mediocre district, and are 9-1 going to the playoffs, I’m good with a #7 ranking. I think they get handily beat by any of the 6 teams above them, though, as well as the top 8 in 4A-D2.

TBH I don't think HF or Lumberton are top ten teams right now. Top 25, sure, but not top-10. HF is 3-1 with two wins over pretty good 3A teams and one 4A team who is abysmal. Lumberton's best win was when they squeaked by HF, and their other two wins are against incredibly weak teams with a combined 1-7 record. They also got soundly beat by St. Thomas, who is a solid team, but not one who should be beating top-10 teams by 20.

I kinda think it’s part of the strategy. Make him look like a terrifying egotistical maniac (not really that hard to do, tbh), and ensure that your base is still rallied to get out and vote against him. They don’t have a good candidate, but they didn’t last election either, and were able to win by not being trump. If it worked once, why not double down and try it again?

I would think so. She could take over a game, but wasn’t a selfish player. She made the whole team better, it wasn’t just a one-woman show. ESPN had her as the 16th ranked player in the entire country last year. You don’t lose a player like that and not drop off. That said, there’s a lot of talent left there, and some players that will get bigger roles now that can pick up some of the slack. I don’t think they’ll be rebuilding this year, but I don’t know that they’ll have quite enough to make it to state championship game again.

I truly believe the dems have a better shot of beating trump, and they know it. Here’s my reasoning: literally every trump voter out there will vote for Desantis. Nobody who supports Trump policy will look at Desantis and not like what he stands for. Not only would Desantis hold true to every conservative action that Trump would take, he’s an actual conservative. The difference between the two is that the left is not going to mobilize their apathetic voters to get out and vote AGAINST Desantis the way they will against trump, and Desantis will also pull more of the moderate swing vote. It’s a weird deal, because I have a feeling that trump would beat Desantis in the primaries, and Desantis likely won’t even choose to run against him, but in an actual presidential election Desantis will perform better.
