Boneyard Boys

Especially in the past, I could see this happening.  I hope this bunch of Pirates will make it past all the mental barriers and get the win.  These guys have been special all year, don’t go all mental on us this week.  Buckle up and make it 7-0.  If they can win a DC, they’ll go at least three deep.  Let me repeat that, if they can win the DC, they’ll go at least 3 deep.

FWIW, Renner, Tepper and Way mentioned Vidor on the 2hr. statewide highlight show. 
Go 10-0 and everyone will notice. Game at a time!  

Juked so many guys if they all would have went to the house Vidor would have won in a forfeit.

Something else...I hope Livingston can tackle...between vidors qb and all the backs, they are shifty and slippery....#7 in particular...if I wouldn't have had a son playing, I would have went to the house after he ran that 1st 2 pt conversion in 🤦

#5 Ta (tay) McNeal will take over as QB. He’s a junior and has been playing a little bit of everywhere and has taken over for Ruiz a few times earlier in the season as well. In my unprofessional opinion he’s just as athletic as Ruiz. I’m not sure how good his arm is, but speed and elusiveness he’s not far behind if at all. I also can’t speak for how well he knows the offense or if he can make the right reads, but athleticism wise he’s got it. And Ruiz should be just fine for baseball season. I think collarbones are usually 2-3 months for a full recovery. He’s currently committed to Houston Baptist so I’m sure he’s excited and looking forward to getting back on the diamond. 

A good pass rush is what helps our secondary out, sometimes those scrambling QBs can give the DBs problems when they extend the play. Last year we had very small, short corners, good players but the jump ball gave them problems. This season we have more size on the outside and I like that. LCM only had a few bad drops but man were they in crucial moments. The one over the middle in the first half could have gone to the house, QB hit him right in stride.

Fair enough, I’m more worried about Vidor taking care of business in the next 2 games. I could see them slipping up but this group of boys has impressed me again and again this season. 

All I know is, if you get Livingston in a 4th and 40 punt situation. Do not send punt block, watch out for that damn fake punt quick pass.

Yep 3 yard runs up the middle don’t look like much but if you give Vidor that then they are going to take it all night long. They have no problem going for it on 4th and short, so you have to defend them for 4 downs. You can tell pretty early on when a team is in trouble, if they get 5+ yards on first down you’re in for a long night.

It’s ok as long as you score 41, I watched the Vidor D give up 50 and get absolutely torched by Silsbee but we scored 51 lol.

This irritates me somewhat.  There are four undefeated teams in the State in 4A-D1 football.  Here they are with DC rankings.
#1 Austin LBJ
#2 Stephenville
#7 Kaufman
** Vidor - the Rodney Dangerfield of Texas football.
Keep on winning Pirates and stuff their rankings where the sun don’t shine.

From his webpage, yesterday they tested him breathing without oxygen and using room air. I think he did better than expected and was able to breathe on his own however they put him back on oxygen to keep from stressing him. Yesterday he also showed response such as moving his toes on command.
He was doing well enough today that they took him off of oxygen completely and also off of sedation.

That’s my argument I use when we get big leads we need to play opposite of conventional thinking. Start working on the passing game but we just try to run out the clock and save the pass plays like it’s some big surprise that nobody is going to see coming. I’d show it as much as possible and make defenses have to think about it.

I think that's the age old question with alot Vidor fans every year. To me, this is the team to have a passing game! The QB has a great arm and makes great reads and decisions (most of the time) when he does pass the ball.

How can you get a rhythm in the passing ball if you wait all year to the playoffs? Need to throw the ball atleast 10-15 times. LCM was off last night just think if you tried to open it up in a playoff game. That’s a gamble I wouldn’t take 

Most decorated player for Vidor since Quirante was winning awards on offense and defense. I believe Jordan was Newcomer of the Year in 5a his Sophomore year then Defensive MVP in 4a his Junior season. What’s next one of those WIlly Ray’s for Mr Smith? It would be difficult for a nose tackle to pull that off.

Good job Prates!!! Your mid county rivals miss playing you guys!!!! Get that District Championship...

Party in the visitor stands as the home team crowd files out.

Throw dem V’s up!!!!

A new tradition ??? The curse is broken 😃

That's the most important stat. 
 
 
Congrats Pirates. 
 
Hmmmm. Lumberton vs Vidor for the district championship November 5th????

And more importantly Coach Mathews improves his record to 1-0 in the game day pants.

There goes all your pick em I hate to say I told you so but I told you so. 
What was LCM a double digit favorite at home?
