WOO HOO, way to go boys!!!!
 

This Lumberton team can rebound and they can shoot, if you get McClure off then you have a team that is hard to beat. I was surprised at how well Vidor held him down the other night, he probably had his worst showing of the season. They still killed the Pirates on the boards and shot it unbelievably well from the free throw line. I remember thinking that they did not miss a free throw, then I watched the HUDL highlights and it said they shot 100% from the line. That’s pretty impressive to shoot like that as a team, I’d like to know how many they actually made but it had to be 15 or 20 all swished.

Lumberton can lose one and at least share the title if Silsbee wins out. If Lumberton wins out we have it outright.
 

One of the hardest working kids you will find!

I’ll take my crow with salt. 😂congratulations Raiders

The Lumberton I watched tonight will make noise come playoffs...
 

You are AxeEm, Coach S, or is it time to change the handle again? 
I wish I had foreseen the Covid outbreak at Silsbee too.  That’s quite a skill.  But even without it, it’s still probably a push.  Lumberton earned this one tonight.  

Good win Lumberton!!! Lets get better Tigers. 

Congrats to the Raiders!  What a job Coach Mitchell has done with that program since taking over.  Love to see good things happen to good people - and Josh is as good a guy as they come.   And regardless of covid, injuries, etc, those boys worked their tails off and accomplished a major goal.  Hats off to Lumberton. 

Silsbee. I know it is only 2 pts but if you are gonna go for a dunk make sure you make it especially when you are down. 

It is a rare thing for a team of Lumberton's history to go to a place with a storied history like Silsbee and then beat them on their court.   I would say this is true of just about any high school sport, boys or girls.
So if Lumberton goes to Silsbee and beats them that would be a huge win for their program.  Even though Silsbee may not be the caliber of team that we have been witnessing for the last several years, it will still be very difficult for Lumberton to win this one.
I think what surprises me the most in this thread is AAW only picked Silsbee to win by 5.   That in itself is a big compliment to the Raiders this year. 
Whoever said that the Raiders were being disrespected in this thread is not being realistic.  
I would love to see Lumberton win it, just because I like to see an underdog come out on top.  And also because I had the privilege of seeing Coach Mitchell begin his career at Hardin and would like to see his hard work rewarded.
Good luck in that quest. 
 

Very crazy.  It seemed pretty obvious that if anyone was going to challenge silsbee, it would be Lumberton. 

What do you mean Covid 19, Lumberton has one lost right now they would still be in the district title hunt even if Silsbee was undefeated. 

Who would have thought Lumberton would be in the running for a district title??? BC I thought would be with them returning everyone but Lumberton lost a ton of good players last year 

You realize for Silsbee to win they have to beat Lumberton and have Lumberton lose another. If they are the only ones to beat Lumberton they are co district champs

What do you mean “why shoot?” That’s basketball🤣

And trust me Brock wouldn’t do it to be disrespectful not how he is

Just FYI, from Vidor perspective, nothing happened at the end of this game to be disrespectful or anything like that.  We played til the buzzer and pressed til the end to try to stay alive in the game.  Someone messed up a responsibility and he got a breakaway dunk/layup.  I couldn't care less if he scored it or dribbled it back up top and ran the clock out.  Part of the game.

Yeah, it wasn’t flagrant disregard for sportsmanship, that’s for sure. Underwear15 just needs a hug from his mama. 

Yes and I understand that as well. But to say that it's horrible sportsmanship is a reach. Frowned upon, yes. 

People on here are really crying about a dunk to end the game?? Why are we making our kids so soft? If you don't want to get scored on go choose another extra curricular activity. You should be a killer on the court or field, that's what the great ones do. 

Hard to tell a high school player not to dunk a basketball. The plays at the end of a game are a two way street. If one team decides to score the other one usually defends them. 

The other team has the option of playing better too. JS. 

Don't feed the troll... I'm sure he knows Lumberton has been solid the last 3 years or so. This guy is just looking for a reason to bash a kid or a program that's been on the rise. Probably because McClure torched little Johnny at some point earlier this year for 40+.
