Hey, Natural, if you see him, tell Coach Mitchell that we're all pulling for him 😉

Everyone on Lumberton, coaches, players and fans were upset. He missed football because he had surgery and just his 3rd game back. Have to give it to our boys for fighting through it. 

L. 73.  K. 69.   Final
A kid from Lumberton dislocated his shoulder.  Prayers up for him.     
 
all the missed shots in 2Q killed Kountze. 
Lumberton is very fundamental and physical .  
 
Great game 

Lumberton 99 Kelly 72

Lumberton beat y’all with  a full team last year at Silsbee, don’t blame Corona for that, Lumberton might not beat y’all this year but I wouldn’t make the excuse of the Covid virus for y’all getting beat in Yalls own gym with a full group. 

I was actually figuring after the young man from last year graduated we'd be back to mediocrity but I think we are easily going to be one of the top ten teams in the area. Coach Josh is turning out to be a great coach.

Mitchell loses four starters and wins the district last year.  He loses a division one player and immediately blasts a team that is in the playoffs every year.  When Green, Boutte, or Sigler retires, those schools need to call this cat.  He just gets it done.  Silsbee better watch out for Lumberton.

Lumberton is cooking.  No hometown officials for Huffman in this one like early in the season.  
 
Lumberton by 3.  

Way to go Silsbee, maybe we'll have a 3rd meeting this year.

Man who have thought Lumberton boys basketball in regional quarterfinals, coach Mitchell has done a heck of a job!! 

Raiders are doing AMAZING things don’t ever count us out. They are ready 🏀🏀🏀

Way to go Raider boys! Another step down the road.

I promise lumberton coach will have Lumberton ready to go, he’s one one of the best coaches in the area.

There's always going to be one in the crowd. I'll fix it. Realistically if Lumberton had beaten Silsbee in the first match then the second would've given them the outright DC a week earlier, covid or no covid.😁🤣😂

You sure about that.
only lumberton loss was silsbee
It would be a split with your scenario givin they both win remaining games.
so silsbee wouldn’t of out right won it either.
silsbee played at home against lumberton......what happen?
Do your research before you spat off. Nothing to laugh about.

I gotta admit picking games and finishes this year I’ve been awful. Even without the injuries I would have missed on LCM by a mile. That being said there’s no way any one could have projected this finish. For the Raiders to win the district everything had to fall perfectly in to place, which it did for them. The Tigers getting hit with Covid opened the door and Josh’s crew took advantage. Still after watching the clubs in the district several times I would never have picked the Raiders and after they played Silsbee in the first half of district I felt even stronger about the order of finish. Good to see an underdog win it. The playoffs should be fun. I’m not picking a winner in those 😂😂🏀

With what Lumberton lost losing the 4 guards they lost from last years team and only bringing back McClure and with BC, LCM, bringing back basically everyone and you have Silsbee who has tradition and athletes everywhere No nobody thought Lumberton who has made the playoffs 4 times in history would be district champs lol this is a ESPN come on man moment. 

Agreed. Coach Mitchell deserves all of the credit in the world, but returning a D1 player of that size and skill will get you first or second in that district.

You do know they lost 4 starters and only had 2 returning varsity players back from last years team right? They also lost another good senior who started some games. 

Lumberton’s finish this year can be attributed to two things. A super coaching job and a weaker than normal district. With what they graduated last year and what they had moving up I would have never got this prediction right. After watching them several times earlier this year I was surprised they beat Silsbee at Silsbee. I guess shocked would be more accurate. I watched Coach Mitchell since he was at Hardin and the credit for the Raiders resurgence is his. He’s changed the culture of Lumberton’s basketball program. Congratulations Raiders !! 

You have it straight and your mind is rightfully blown.  Honestly there would be few, if any, 4A districts in the state where a player the caliber of McClure and a coach the caliber of Mitchell wouldn’t finish in the top 4.  Maybe one in the metroplex 

The move-in kid for Lumberton has made the difference this year. He's 2nd best in team. 

Hard fought game! Way to go Raiders!!!

Final
63-59 Lumberton
Lumberton is the outright 22-4A district champs.
