glad you were able to make it to the game. It was a good game from what I saw in the first half. Didn't see the 2nd. What are you opinions on Diboll's skill positions? I think they have a chance at surprising ppl. Defense still needs work, but they were able to shut them down for most of the 1st half, take away that amazing 60+ yard td catch, and it wouldve been 27-6 halftime. Coldspring has athletes all over the field. I was wondering why they didn't utilize #9 more on the offense, but after seeing #20 Zavius, I understand, he was incredibly quick.

well i'll wait til after the Liberty game to say anything

I left the Diboll/Coldspring game @ half when Diboll was up 27-12. They came out and scored so I figured it was all downhill from there. Diboll did put in their reserves and Coldspring scored most of their points at that time. When Diboll's coach realized the game was getting too close for comfort, his starters were already cold from sitting out. As for a real game with Kville, I do think it would be a different outcome than that one scrimmage. Kville doesn't have much depth, which will hurt them in the playoffs. Their team is very small in numbers.

Who are some of Liberty's top players, and who have they played so far?

What can we expect from the Liberty squad? Diboll's last game was a 55-44 win over Coldspring. others are 45-12 over Sheperd, and 52-6 over Cleveland.

As a Diboll Fan, I would like to nominate Johnson #20 for Coldspring. He had 275 yards rushing for 3 td's.

27-12 was the score @ halftime. the actual final was 55-44. Diboll was ahead the whole game, and when they got a comfortable lead, started to put the reserves in. THis is one Coldspring caught a second wind and went nuts. Johnson for Coldspring ended up with 275yds rushing with 3 tds. Great athlete.

55 - 44 was final, with Diboll winning! what a shootout!

I'm going with Diboll.

They have Diboll next week.

Diboll too much for Cleveland. Coldspring will travel to Diboll next week!

nvm here is a small summery From Lufkindailynews Thursday, August 30, 2007 For the second straight week, the Diboll Lumberjacks took on a top-level opponent and had a good showing. A week after scrimmaging Top 15 Kirbyville, the Lumberjacks took on fifth-ranked Newton. Despite a strong showing, the Lumberjacks were outscored 3-2 in touchdowns. Jacolby Spencer had a strong showing for Diboll as he threw for 105 yards. Cornelius Polk led Diboll's receivers with two catches for 56 yards, while Alex Castillo had three receptions for 53 yards. With standout running back Ketarus Stanton sitting out of the scrimmage for precautionary measures, Kamron McCollum and Kendall Jackson carried the load for the 'Jacks. McCollum finished with 37 yards on seven carries, while Jackson had 26 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries. Newton built a two-touchdown lead in the controlled portion of the scrimmage before Diboll got on the board with a Jaime Palacio 48-yard fumble return for a touchdown. Jackson tied the game on a two-yard touchdown before the teams started the live portion of the scrimmage. Newton scored on a 50-yard interception for the final score. Diboll threatened to tie the game later but fumbled near the Newton goal line. The Lumberjacks will kick off the season on Sept. 7 at Shepherd.

How did Diboll look?

It didn't do much against the rushing attack of Diboll. Stanton would have 150+ in a 4 qtr game.

Well I just noticed that Diboll plays 5 out of the 6 teams in this District. So if Diboll wins out, does that make them the champs of 22-3a? ;D

Anyone planning on going to this one? I won't be able to make it but hope someone will have a post-scrimmage report.

Here are some stats from the game Total offense Diboll - 361 Kirbyville - 335 Diboll's QBs - Jacolby Spencer was 8 for 10 for 165 passing yards. He fumbled twice. Kyle Prescott was 6 of 14. He threw 3 ints. 2 were tipped by Lumberjack recievers but Wildcat defenders made good plays on the ball to pick it off. Diboll led in first downs 16-14 The Jacks were able to convert 5 of 7 third down opporunities, while Kville were 4 of 11. The Wildcats were also 1 for 1 on 4th down attempts and 2 for 2 in scoring from inside the red zone. Diboll's top player RB Ketarus Stanton ran for 96 yards. He had both of Diboll's touchdowns with runs of 10 and 70 yards. Diboll had 5 turnovers - 3 ints; 2 fumbles

Wildcat 08, were you @ the scrimmage?

Wow, i was at the game, and I was amazed on how much talent WOS had, I cant see anyone else being able to hang with them. Much luck to them in the playoffs and I hope they win it all. Diboll still has a ways to go but, I can assure they will be a team to watch next season as all their starters return. Most of their starters are freshman, so they will be a joy to watch. Nikki Green is the girl you're referring to, and is 6'5, just a freshman, her sister who is a junior is 6'1. Talk about twin towers at the highschool level.

Since jasper lost, Diboll will play Jasper at a place to be determined. I hear woodville is out of the question and Lufkin is a possibility.
