Mickey Mantle

Great Coach, well deserved retirement. Should be a good job for the right candidate.

Spurger never did one thing in baseball before Hennigan got there and hasn't done a single thing after he left. Also seeing that it was his first job out of college I doubt he was cherry picking?  I'm sure he took what he could get. He may have got lucky, but his results speak for themself.  I also know by speaking to him years ago that he moved to colmesneil because he felt like they were going up in classification and they did. Colmesneil has won many state championships, but all were at the 1A level. Hennigans team lost in the state championship game to Weimar as a 2a team!  There's a huge difference in 1A and 2a!  And what he did in woodville is simply amazing. Took a 3a team that didn't make the playoffs the year before he got there and took basically the same team mixon had to the regional finals is simply awesome. Hennigan was head coach for 5 years in woodville and won a state championship, but what is even more amazing is he took his teams to 4 regional finals in 5 years!  People should recognize as Thornton Melon brought up, Hennigan was the best the county has ever seen period. Only other in the same conversation is Ben Stuart from colmesneil!   

Great post Coach.

So Kirby is the next head coach at Lumberton? Joke!

Still doesn't top the number leaving the Raiders of Lumberton.

Fox, I agree. Coach Davis did a great job at Lumberton. I don't know a coach at Deweyville that should have any reason to have that job. Who? That would be such a slap in the face to those kids and program.

Who is next in line for the Raiders? Hear the coach is joining the HF head football coach.

So who is the next coach for the Bulldogs?

God bless those that served , and those serving today. We owe them so much, and are lucky to live in the United States of America.

Great facilities,tradition,great job. Delusional parents. Need to go get a proven old school guy that will do it his way and not be influenced by anything outside the program.

Vidor stayin in house with the job.

Babin working those boys hard, is not all that Athletic Supporter.

True fan then, and I hope the best for your Raiders.

Really L-train? No disrespect but it ain't all that

#2 best player I see on that team, but not near enough to compete at a high level. Game with HF should be interesting. Good chance to see what the head coach can really do.

Lumberton is losing every coach on the staff except 2 coaches, that in itself is going to make it difficult to compete. Nederland, PNG,Central, PAM. Top of this district.

I hate to say it, because it needs to be settled on the field, but a couple of pages back I had LCM in a flip of the coin. Should have played Wednesday, was the best day to play because of the weather.

So when it rains out Thursday and Friday, graduation Saturday. I am betting on Coach Griffith to advance the Bears on the old coin toss. 

Jag I was unaware of the players that have left Ozen, but they should have plenty left to compete. I did forget about Lee. Three team fight for cellar.

Yes whiner. Thinks his team should get every call. He is not in Jasper anymore.

Nederland is the best coached team in the district, they will be in the hunt for DC year in and year out. Lumberton and Livingston fighting to stay out of the cellar.

WOS that does clear things up, and I agree with you on all of that. Thanks for the clarification.

Surely someone isn't serious when they say a guy that had a great college as well as a long and prosperous pro career couldn't cover a guy that has no offers? This board has lost it.

Can anyone explain why any thread on Lumberton coaches gets deleted? Isn't this an open forum? 

Congrats to Jack. Have watched him play a few times, great competitor that is a winner. Have passed his name on to a number of people for them to keep an eye on. Gets it honest from a great family.

Best program in the area. That is a great accomplishment in a very tough district year in and year out.
