Diboll was very good last year and I think they will be even better this year! 

You are correct. 40-20 was the score. Newton faired well passing the ball that game. Barlow got his yards but Diboll did defend the run pretty good considering Newton’s pedigree. In all honesty though, the Newton team I saw later in the playoffs would have smashed my Lumberjacks and the team that beat us out of the playoffs. 

Defending a well run Slot T offense the first game of the season is always tough so I would expect BC to have their moments. Overall though I think Diboll will be too much in this one. 

So here we go, Diboll home opener will be vs the Bridge City Cardinals.  I don’t know much about the Cardinals, any fans willing to provide some input? 
Diboll comes in with high expectations this season after a disappointing first round loss to Gilmer last year.  They dropped down to 3A this season.  They bring back a good core group of players and most notably their D-1 recruit, RB/LB/DE Herbert Gums. Diboll will feature a new QB that appears to have put in some good work this summer.  Diboll will rely on the run much like last season but seems eager to develop a much needed passing game.  They have some new faces at the WR position and oline.  Overall, the ‘Jacks should be solid and should have some depth this season.  

Just wanted to report on Diboll's RB Ty Hamilton.
So far has 18 rushing TD.
1245 yards rushing on 151 carries.  All from Lufkin Daily News. 
 
Not sure of any receiving yards and TDs.

Good luck to the Tigers!  Maybe a rematch down the road!
