VP93....

Seems like this is the only thread that hasn’t been made yet. That’s the only reason that I hate moving from 5A because now i see a lot of crickets in future game threads involving Lumberton.
Anyway, LCM17, or LastBearStanding, or whatever your name is now (LOL), do you think we will see a team like the one that clobbered silsbee, or a team that go whooped by Kilgore? And please tell me that stud rb graduates this year lol
what about y’all cardinalbacker? Hopefully BC will get some things figured out and get back to on track. Had a great year in 2016! 
Also, will Huffman be back to its normal self? Will we have to deal with Navasota or will they ship them out west? And please let me know if i skipped over any posters from teams that we will playing next year.
As for Lumberton, we will have a good qb with a year under his belt. Pretty good passer and shifty. A rb who saw some playing time this year behind Ward but should have a great season next year. And I believe we return at least 9 on defense. I’m not sure at this point about offensive line or other skill positions. I’ll see if I can find out. I won’t go into detail, but there may be a few things we do on the offensive side of the ball next year that sounds like it will work out pretty well. Obviously that’s all I’ll say about that. We are two platoon, virtually no two way players which should be to our advantage now that we are in a lower classification. 
I’m lookin for an exciting year in which every game is winnable. I’m not saying we will be the heavy favorites each week, but we won’t be counted out like we were going against some 22-5A teams.

Big sigh of relief from Raider Nation today. Gonna miss 22-5A. They have the most representation on this site and provide most of the conversation, but I’ll still keep up with those teams.

Ok, ok.  I have been talked off of the ledge.  Against my better judgment, I will keep the game threads open.
I will ask a favor.  I have a lot on my plate here (keeping up with the games, posting the 2017 schedules, preparing 2017 football team previews, getting the volleyball forum ready, approving (or not) new members to make sure that we don't get spammers, reviewing reported posts and communicating with coaches to get 2017 info) so I will need a couple of favors as I usually can't get to all posts. 
At the top of every post right beside the time stamp is a very light font "report post."  Please use this for offensive posts.  That way I can see the offensive posts and act on it.  Second, those that like to "rabblerouse" need to stop it.  As the masses have now spoken, leniency will be in short supply on these posts.

I'm sorry, but shutting down the game thread after the final score is not right. I've always agreed with you grad, on pretty much everything. However, not this. Why punish all of us (many of the post game comments are stats and great conversation) because of a select few that want to whine and complain? Instead of shutting down the threads, ban the adults that can't act like adults. If we can't talk about the game, after the game, I'm out. I'll go to another board to have a civilized conversation. You do realize that you will lose a crap load of posters if you do this, right?

Coming from someone who has no ties to either side and was just checking in after the weekend to see the result of this series, after reading the Silsbee v BC threads, but both sides were way out of line. Grown men acting like kids, both sides. It was hard to read and quite embarrassing. Most notably and tasteless, IMO, was the absurd $500 bet placed after someone claimed their team would win the series. If I get banned or whatever by the moderators then so be it, this forum has gone downhill fast and its sad to see. Definitely enjoy getting on here to get caught up on scores and such. 

To all the SETX members,
It's time to take the board back and make it into the place we all enjoy. For quite some time this place has gone downhill for a variety of reasons. If you want a prime example read the BC vs Silsbee baseball game 2 thread starting on page 2, it's just over the top nonsense by both folks just trolling and moderators doing the same thing. There have been some really cool people who posted great information that just quit contributing due to all the trash that gets stirred up. Some of those folks completely left and that's a shame because they made this board a great place for people to get caught up on local high school athletics as well as college sports to some degree. I would like to humbly offer up a suggestion and that's to create a totally separate forum for those folks who just want to antagonize each other and let the trash talk flow. Let all those folks who constantly derail topics have at one another to their hearts content and stay out of topics where they disrupt everybody else. Hopefully this alternate forum can be created and the sports forums can go back to being about sports, the real reason most of us got here in the first place.
To the Moderators,
I personally appreciate the time you guys put in to keep this place going, I know that's a huge undertaking and thankless job. Hopefully you can "police" the site in the future and discourage all the "foolishness" by sending those unwanted comments to that "alternate forum". One more public appeal to "AAW" , you are an ultra knowledgeable guy who has done a fantastic job promoting local high school sports and I thank you for that. You were always super nice to my son while he was playing and you have been a stand up guy on other issues as well. I would encourage you to promote a little more positive responses to topics by yourself and others going forward because this board is the lifeline to local sports for people all over our area and beyond.
With respect to all,
Rake1

End 4th

Great game by both teams! Hated that it ended like it did! 

Orangefield played a great game. Just as expected. Jack and Stubby threw great games. Proud of both of them. 

2-1 Crosby 4th

8-3 Vidor F

As it sits, Lumberton can help avoid all the scenario confusion by beating Vidor 1 time. They play Tuesday and Friday. If they win 1 out of those two, the confusion is minimized a great deal.
IF Lumberton gets 1 win (pending a Livingston sweep of PNG), they will be the #2 seed. Unless Livingston sweeps PNG, then Lumberton would have to sweep Vidor to remain the #2 seed. 
If I had to guess, based off remaining schedule, here it how I see it happening.
1. PNG 14-0
2. Lumberton 10-4
3. Livingston 9-5
4. Nederland 9-5
5. Vidor 8-6
Livingston owns the tie breaker over Nederland.

By the way Thanks for all this hard work. I have been working with Brian Newton on PNG's history in football and its not an easy task by any means. So a big Thanks for keeping history alive for our newer generations to see in all of our area schools......

PNG and Nederland right?? Look....if your going to post that at least be fair to the situation and have your facts correct. Yes, PNG and Nederland are the traditional powers in 22-5a, but its 2017 last time I checked and Lumberton has been to the playoffs the past several years and beat Nederland head to head the last 3 out of 4 (Please correct me if I am wrong) games. As VP93 stated, Lumberton had 2 costly errors (I understand that's part of the game) or they would be 4-0 against Nederland in the last 4 games. PNG and Nederland both have a ton of talent on their respective teams this year, but to just post a blanket statement like above is just not factually correct IMO. Livingston is solid as well this year and Vidor lost a lot of Seniors  and are still very competitive.

How do you figure? Lumberton beat Nederland and if not for 2 errors would have swept them and Vidor (if I'm not mistaking) played Nederland pretty close as well.. I get it about PNG, they are good but to say its PNG and Nederland and that's is...come on.
Standing as of today.
PNG 10-0
Lumberton 7-3
Nederland 7-3
Livingston 7-3
Vidor 5-5
PAM 2-8
Central 0-10
Ozen 0-10
