i think lumberton must win to prove that they've truly made the jump to an elite team. we all know that they're good, but lumberton fans want people to think they're great. if lumberton wins this game there should not be a single fan on this whole forum who says anything else about: 1. Lumberton being overrated 2. Lumberton being a fluke 3. Lumberton's lack of a strong schedule 4. Lumberton's fans wanting too much respect Win this game lumberton, and you take over sole possession of first, having beaten the only other undefeated team in the district. noone can talk about central not being good this year, or dayton's players being hurt. PNG is very good, and healthy. win this game, and you prove that you are the BEST team in the district.

I'm an HJ alum, and i try to root for them, but who would they realistically beat? The only team i can see is orangefield, but last they proved they can play with some of the better teams in the district, and HJ is not one of the better teams in the district. HJ's wins this season are all by a few points against really, really bad opponents... there isn't anyone left on their schedule who is really, really bad (i would've said orangefield, but look what they did last week. HJ might be their only win of the year).

dang, does this mean i can't hate him anymore?

Kirbyville wins big, but HJ gets on the scoreboard this week. Kirbyville 41 HJ 12

I played D-3 college soccer, and the top 6 teams from my conference made the conference tourney. it was a little different format than what you are saying, but when it came down to it, the tourney final was ALWAYS between two of the top 3-4 teams. In the same sense, the gap between 1st place and 6th place is huge in this district. I don't think you'd have to worry about any major upsets.

I don't think it will help them, as they have so much momentum already, and they will surely lose some with that long of a rest. Of course, their rotation will be set and their bullpen will be very fresh.

Absolutely... on a regular basis, i think it would probably change from year to year, depending on the talent level for each team.

unstoppable right now!

What do we have left, a week now?

Kenny Lofton's been a monster this year.

I think lumberton deserves to be towards the top, but i'd still like to see them beat PNG and Nederland before they're placed ahead of them... I know they're undefeated, but their schedule could've been a little stronger... i think 3rd or 4th might be better right now, with the understanding that if they take PNG or Ned down, that they leapfrog them in the standings... I also believe that if they beat Nederland AND PNG, they should be ranked 1st. i don't think they can beat WB head's up, but if they run the table in district, they deserve to be crowned the best team in the area (unless WB goes undefeated in district as well).

i don't know... i would've put them ahead of the rangers and pirates, at least...

Rockies up 3-0 in the series!

most people expected central to be a really good team this year. they've been beaten (pretty convincingly) by really good teams two weeks in a row now. people are not going to keep talking about them like they're really good. it doesn't matter that the second loss was to lumberton... had it been to png or dayton, people would still be talking about them the same way.

I've been more than impressed with ya'll this year, and surprised a few times too. That has nothing to do with the fact that i just don't see PNG losing to both ya'll and dayton.

WB PNG WOS L-town Kelly Nederland/Dayton EC

great... can't wait to play them next year.

really? i would be surprised if png didn't at least split those two games, and coming off a HUGE win against the bulldogs, i wouldn't be surprised if they won them both.

I've said this before, and i'll say it again: HJ is just fortunate that they WOS decided to try to pass the ball. it was already well established they couldn't stop the run.

Game 3 update Rockies lead 1-0 in the bottom of the 3rd thanks to a Holliday HR.

absolutely not... the real question is "will HJ win another football game?"

Right now, i have to say: 1. PNG 2. Lumberton 3. Winner of the nederland/dayton game of course, as competitive as this district is, next week it might look completely different.

I don't care who wins. Go tribesox?

Before the silsbee/HF game, i would've predicted a closer game... after that game, i have to say: WOS-48 Silsbee-13
