Jack's daughter is a Senior. She  and her sister both played for Lumberton for the past few years. His wife lives in Orange area so making a move would be easy.  Also, his stars are gone after this year and its going to be a hard year next year.  Get out while your on top.

His stars are gone after this year? Lumberton will compete for district championship again this year. They are losing Hannah Holt and his daughter to graduation this year. Alex Sellers (district Offensive player of the year) will be a senior next year, Megan Wilkinson (1st team All district) and Brianna Jones will be Jr's and then they will have 5 sophomores that were on Varsity as freshman this year. 

Lumberton was 29-4 this year

Jacks trouble with parents - very rude.  Non renewal.

Nederland - Nobles PNG/BC, BradleyBC/OF, DuncanBC and Jacks Ltown.

Jacks on experience, Bradley on potential and Duncan on professionalism and experience.  Nobles- well whatever 

I have absolutely no idea what you are saying in this post.

I just looked it was posted Feb 26 for the Nederland Head Varsity Girls Basketball Coach.

So, I see a lot of people talking about how good his record has been, do you think his record would be that good if he was at Nederland, PNG or even had stayed at Vidor the last three years?

I'm sure it's because his daughter just finished her senior year. Heard after both his girls were done playing hs ball he would resign from LHS. 

I dont think it has anything to do with his daughter. She didn't even attend Lumberton her Junior year. I could be wrong.

I'm hearing that Coach Jacks is out at Lumberton after 3 years.

28-9 third qtr? What happen to the "D" for Lumberton?

ouch! Big hole to dig out of in the 4th.

It's a game of momentum and runs, so if Lumberton gets a couple of turnovers and drains some behind the arch they can jump back in it!

Dang 9-0 run to start the 3rd. Come on LTown!

Walk off 2 run HR in the 9th by the Highlanders. PNG has a really good squad this year. 

So how did this district end up?

Lumberton beat Ozen in pre season tourney too I believe.

PNG gets off the snide with its first district win against Nederland. Don't know score.

Jacks probably doesn't help his team out yelling at the refs from the opening tip off either and Jacks is known for having girls on his team that he just uses to be aggressive and foul the other team. I would like to see the box score on attempts and misses with both shots and free throws. That tells you who controls the tempo of the game. Plus like JP said, you make one free throw and you win the game and no mention of the refs is ever made on here.

Why port neches girls 8th grade didn't play in the Vincent tournament this year. They competed wit smiths seventh grade team in tourney. Was looking forward to playing them this year. Very well coached team. Oh well c them next year freshman team. Go jags

JP, I don't have a clue why we didn't play at Vincent tourney this year. They played in a tournament in Sulpher, LA that may have replaced the Vincent. Smith had a great team last year as well. Only loss we had last year. Looking forward to playing against that group in the future and JP contact me if you have a girl that plays with that Smith Squad. Would love to team up with those girls and play some select basketball with GTE this summer.

Comeaux  WILL NOT stand for it.  Is there a PNG girl that starts Varsity BB and VB?   She wont let them cheer and play VB - from what I am told.

There is one girl this year that plays both. The cheerleading and Volleyball is probably like that everywhere because of the conflict with Cheering on Friday Nights and playing volleyball on Friday nights. I just hope this group of girls will stick with Basketball in High School, they are a special group of athletes. Probably wont happen due to girls playing other sports, but I am keeping my fingers crossed. PNG Girls Varsity BB has never made the playoffs, so would be really cool to see that happen. Although the UIL just made that more difficult today including PAM in 22-5A along with Central, Ozen and Lumberton.

I know you guys are talking Boys middle school, but an impressive stat from the girls side of basketball is the PN middle school 8th grade team has out scored their district opponents 473-88 in the 11 district games over the past two years. They have one more game tomorrow night at home to close out a fun two seasons. Hope they can continue on in to High School and be the first ever PNG varsity girls basketball team to make the playoffs.

They avg 43 points a game and allowed only 8 points a game. With every game having a running clock the entire second half. Pretty impressive ladies, keep it up!

From an outsider looking in and not seeing or talking to anybody that was at the game, I am just looking at the box scores and the Central outscored Lumberton 16-11 in the 1st and 4th Qtr's and 19-14 in the 2nd Qtr. Lumberton won the 3rd qtr in a big way 25-10. I would say Central played consistently better than Lumberton throughout the majority of the game. It's always easy to blame the refs after a tough loss and never looks good for the team blaming the refs. Was it the refs fault Lumberton outscored Central 25-10 in the 3rd Qtr? Central also beat Lumberton in the first district meeting between the teams at Lumberton. I would say Central is the better team or the better coached team. If Central played more aggressive and the refs allowed the aggressive play to happen then Lumberton should have been more aggressive or used Central's aggressive play against them.

Saw a tweet that Vidor defeated Ozen last night. Definitely a big upset if true, but great job by Vidor as well if true.

That is why I said three years. There is a freshman this year that is a nice solid player, the 8th grade group is solid and has a lot of height and speed with some good shooters, not sure about the 7th grade, but when the girl I am talking about gets to be a freshman (she has been playing with this group for three or four years now) she is going to be the missing piece and they will make a nice run deep into the playoffs.

Some of them are, but they have a 6th grader that is a phenom, when she gets there she will put them over the top. She is that good. She played in the primetime 7th grade national tournament (as a 5th grader) with a team out of Houston and they won the whole thing. She was a huge part of that team winning it.

HJ girls will make a run at state in 3 years, mark my word on that, unless if girls stop playing, injuries or girls move. The talent is there now.

Will be there cheering the Noos on!
