I agree! Not taking anything away from PNG cause they are a great team with good receivers, but I can't understand how we constantly got beat deep! I think it says more about our defense.. But I want to say again, their pass game is lethal. I just think we could have put up a better fight in secondary.

says a lot about PNG qb to come out and throw a pick on his first pass, and then step up and have a game like he did. That kid is really good! Didn't really help us that their receivers were wide open all game though, but in the end he made a lot of good throws..

if if lumbertons would have capitalized on turnovers then we could have had a better chance. And of course we gotta learn how to catch too, a dropped td pass doesn't help either! Good game PNG!

Dropped passes and fumbles.. Our offense is making their defense look great, and their offense is making our defense look horrible. Pretty much the way I see it

I figured since we play home tonight that this game would have been at PNG, Wish I would have known and I would have went and watched!

I'm glad you reminded us of this! I was planning on visiting my Vidor store today.... Not anymore! lol I forgot how packed the parade gets

According to Lumberton Ledger Facebook page (I wasn't at the game):

Freshmen Raiders 20... PNG 14

Seeing the way that Lumberton ran the ball against Ozen, and hearing of the awesome running game that Vidor has (I haven't seen them play this year), but knowing those two things, I would say Vidor wins this easily.

That was probably the best game/ending I've ever seen.. I still get chills when I watch the highlight video that they gave us that year!

that's a good point you made, and I agree 110% with what you are saying!

But I will add this, these past few years our players have lacked confidence. Yeah we may have went through some poor coaching, probably been a lot less talented compared to the district we play in, but in the end the main problem was our confidence. We knew in the back of our minds that we didn't stand a chance.

With that being said, I agree with you that in the end winning is all that matters. But at the same time and at this point in the rebuilding stage that we are in with Babin's mentality being taught, I believe that our players need that confidence boost knowing that we CAN actually contend in this district. We need to reevaluate ourselves and realize where we went wrong yesterday and what changes need to be made because after all a loss is a loss no matter what excuse or how hard we tried. But we also need that confidence going into each and every game.

we need to be happy with our performance and effort, but definetly not satisfied!

That's good improvement. As long as we can keep building upon that we will be fine.

Rome wasn't built in a day!

yeah that's him. He's our go to guy in the pass game.

any word on Sykes #82?... I hate seeing people go down with a knee injury, that could be really bad. A huge loss for us if he is out

I'm a Lumberton fan, and even I would have to disagree with that statement lol I think Lumberton definitely had a good chance, but I don't think central winning had anything to do with luck...

I would give him the ball every play until the defense proves they can stop him.. He plays with some class too, I liked that about him! Run the ball, get up and go again. Do the talking between the whistles, and that's what he seemed to do. Hope he does good at the next level too!

I think we stepped it up on defense a lot in seconds half, but y'all did have several costly penalties that helped us as well. Then yalls defense made some big stops too. After we tied the game we had about 3 chances to score to take the lead and y'all shut us down. Definitely a good game. A loss is a loss, but losses like that really suck! Lol

not only that, but that was their only score of the second half too!

Great game! Lumberton had plenty of chances to win and didn't do it! #12 for central is unstoppable and has some good character. Good luck to him! Maybe now after that Lumberton will actually have some respect?? A game that could have went either way, in the end we got out talented on that last pass.

yes sir she does own that title, probably Lumberton's #1 fan. Not here to take her spot just providing a little backup lol

But the difference between you and us is at least you make it to the first round... As long as Lumberton does the smart thing and keep Babin around no matter how we end up doing this year, then hopefully one day we will have the reputation that PNG has, and maybe we can keep some loyal fans!

For the kids' sakes... Nobody like playing in front of empty bleacher. Luckily this year we don't have that problem.. Hopefully we can keep it going.

Hey I agree with you and her. And yall are right, there are a lot of fans like that in Lumberton. But that goes for every town too though!!

But I'm just the newbie lol don't jump on me for what they did in the past! Although I must admit I don't blame you for it!

I guess posting on this site makes you a true fan? And everyone else doesn't matter then right? In that case there is a whole lot of "fair weather" fans in the stands at every stadium on Friday nights!

I just replied to you message lo sorry I'm tryin to figure all this out still.

I've been looking on here all season, just decided to finally jump in on all the fun.. And trust me, I may be a "newbie" to this, but I'm not a new fan. Been one since 1993 when I was born into this great town! And also played under coach babin when he OC for credeur, so I have a lot of respect for him and what he has done for our team!!

Raiders by 10 points!
