Boneyard Boys

Several unknowns for me to estimate.   Is Lindale strong against the run? Have they faced a Slot T team this year?   For Vidor to have any chance, to even keep it respectable, they have to make a lot of first downs.  They do that, who knows?
For those expecting a blow out, remember Vidor was ahead of Jasper in the 4th Qtr, prior to most of our injuries, and Jasper gave Carthage their closest game this year.   

Anyone taking the Pirates here? They are definitely in a tough spot after underperforming in district play. But the team is finally healthy, they have improved and made some needed changes as the season went on. Will it be enough to keep the game close and hope to catch a break or two? Crazier things have happened right... haven’t they?

They have people that can catch the ball. Livingston was very lucky no one knows how to catch in 10-4A-I

Yea one of the players showed me the endzone view, it was the defender who grabbed the blocker and slung him. He went flying into the sideline and tumbled to the ground at the end of the play but we got the holding penalty. 

Congrats to Vidor. Good luck next week against Lindale. 
All it takes is one win to make your season. Hopefully y'all figured things out tonight.

55 busts through for a big sack and the beastly celebration dance.

And they fumble lol Vidor ball at the 21 these Raiders are a friendly bunch.

Congratulations Pirates!! It’s been a tough season but now it’s a new season! Have Fun Play Hard!  Good Luck in the Playoffs Boys! 🏴‍☠️

As usual, thanks a ton for the excellent updates Boneyard.

Deep shot middle, picked #12 took it away from the receiver. I wish they would use him on offense but what do I know, I’m very biased lol.

One interesting thing Vidor actually has a punter now, not doing the pooch punts. He can actual boot it pretty good, I guess they got tired of the other team having great field position to start drives every game.

One last terribly wrong prediction for the way back, just to prove once and for all how bad I am at this.
Vidor 32 - Lumberton 7
 
You heard it here first, now print those sweet playoff tee shirts!
I’ll take an XL...

I don’t recall... well maybe I did. I also said Trump 2020 so I’m terrible at this. Do not take advice from me, I have rose colored glasses apparently. 

It’s game day!
Can you smell the playoffs @SmashMouth?

Why would we need JV players? We already have enough capable bodies that aren’t used enough.

Well it has come down to this, winner take all for a playoff spot. I didn’t think either team would be in this situation, for different reasons but here we are. Vidor or Lumberton to represent our lowly district, as a 3 or 4 seed to face a tough Lindale or Kilgore team in the first round. Who ya got? I think the Pirates have the bigger, better athletes but Lumberton just might want it bad enough to pull out the W at home. I just hope we get some decent referees and the players give it their all because this will be the last football game ever played for the seniors on one of these teams. 
 

Ltown has been down all year.   Big win over Splendora.  They’ll be pumped up, and you can bet they’d rather beat Vidor than anyone except maybe Silsbee.   They will give 110% effort, win or lose.  Vidor better be prepared to do the same thing.

Well this could be our last game of the season so I guess I’ll spell it out for these guys. #1 should be getting 10 touches a game out of the backfield, #12 should be getting 3 targets a game. #11 and #26 should be splitting time in the backfield. #43 and #55 should be on the line in short yardage situations. These are all defensive players and that’s why Vidor’s offense is not very good this year.

You have Vidor’s no offense vs Lumberton’s no defense. However Vidor players are not as soft as the Raider players, so I pick them as a 2 touchdown favorite. That softness is why they are known as the FRIENDLY RAIDERS 

You are correct on all counts above; however, if you’re gonna sign up for that job and accept payment for it, you oughta do the best you can. And if the best you have is not that good, go cut yards on the weekend for some extra money.
