You might want to rethink that cause LCM might have something to say about that they is killing folks

I'm still sticking to my guns to the bitter end. 

Jordan and Kincaid are games the Bears should have expected to win. I know, they haven't always won the games they should have won, but maybe this is a new era. Let's see how it goes against Jasper.

I always like to see LC-M do well. Maybe if they keep this up they can get win #3 against WO-S (1983 at Bear Stadium, 1994 @ Mustang Stadium, ????) (Statistically speaking, the odds of that nasty streak are 1 in 134,217,728. I think they didn't play a few times in between, but still, it's bad and unfathomable.)

Peevy's a heck of a coach. BISD is cheap and should have paid him what 6A coaches get paid. Their loss, LC-M's gain.

I am proud that the teams in this district seem improved from last year. Should be fun next week.

Yep, I was wondering the same thing.  Not only dropping population but UIL is moving numbers around.  And I agree not now, maybe next 2023-24 realignment.

It will almost be back to the future when PNG and Nederland only had to cross the Rainbow Bridge to play district games.

I will admit the Lions have a little tougher pre-district sch than most other teams in 10-4A-1.  

We tried to get a neutral game with El Campo at Rice Stadium but they backed out. Was glad to get the rematch against Chapel Hill at SFA, even though it was a loss.

It will be interesting to see who gets shoved down to 4A. I dont think Nederland, PNG and Dayton fall this time around, but it seems to be a matter of time because the area isn't growing.

Why 7A? How about just splitting 6A into DI and DII like the other classifications?

As these articles pointed out, no one is building 3A/4A schools and the spread in those levels is becoming unbalanced.

At this point Nederland, PNG and Dayton will be 4A schools within a few realignments.

Texas is growing fast. There really needs to be a Metropolitan division for these monster schools to compete against each other.

Lol, most of this District would be stuck with wild horses & big cats.  Now Livingston May fear facing them Jasper Dogs.  Fact is, I bet they would.  😂😂😂

Don't think so. We scheduled against Jasper even when we were bad. I'd like to see them on the schedule soon. And Dayton too.

Don't know where your going with this but I said it was going to be a close game and it was.  You are the one that implied OF couldn't compete with Livingston bc OF didn't pass the ball enough which we were very successful last night throwing the ball.  I'm very proud of the effort I saw on the field and I'm not ashamed of anything.  

You're the one that said it would come down to who wanted it more, which is a dumb statement.

Of course both teams want to win. Wanting to win has nothing to do with actually winning the game.

We would all like to win the lottery too.

Its a tired, lazy sports cliche that I wish would be retired, so that's why I'm picking on you! 

I wish yall the best of luck the rest of the way. But I was never worried about Livingston losing to y'all.

People said that last year. Lions will be fine.

District championship games is Hargrave at Livingston.  Everyone else is fighting for a playoff spot.

We shall find out about the batting of eyes in just a little bit.  The game will be close and it’s going to come down to who wants it more.  

Ok, I guess OF didn't want it enough, looking at the scoreboard.

Livingston is not a guaranteed scheduled win anymore. There's no shame to losing to the Lions. 

On to the next game. Good luck the rest of the way Orangefield.

Throwing doesn’t need to be a threat when they can hold the ball for a whole quarter.

The most import stat is what's on the scoreboard after 48 minutes. 

Smalley should have kicked the extra point last year. He would have won in overtime because Livingston was gassed.

This year, Livingston is expected to win and no one will bat an eye when that happens.

Orangefield doesn't throw the ball enough to be a threat to Livingston.

Livingston by 10.

35-15 Chapel Hill Final.

Good luck Bulldogs.

On to the next game.

Chapel Hill responds with a score 35-15 Chapel Hill, 8:18 left in the game.

The Lions go for 2. 28-15 Bulldogs. 10:23 left in the game.

63 yd TD pass by 

28-7 Chapel Hill to start Q4.

Lions backup QB is in the game. 

19-7 Chapel Hill at the half. 

Lions got on board with a fake punt from their 40.

Hats off to the Bulldogs defense. Livingston has a lot of mistakes to clean up if they want to get back in this game.

Chapel Hill ball to start the 3rd.

7-0 Chapel Hill End Q1.

Livingston has chosen to shorten the game by sticking to the run. They are on their third possesion.The previous two ended at the Bulldog 30.

Five minutes to kickoff at Homer Bryce Stadium in Nacogdoches.

As a Lamar grad, I have to give props to the new turf. I was hoping to see the purple and white track but that's not in yet.

Maybe next time.

No. 9 vs No. 27. This will be a track meet.

Livingston vs Chapel Hill in the East Texas Shootout

I just want a competitive game, something the Bears can build upon toward structuring a strong program.

Hopefully, Coach T is on the mend and will be back on the sidelines in a few weeks.

WO-S 27, LC-M 21

Is Livingston finally back? I recall they sent a kid to UT not too long ago.

They won district last year.  First outright title since they integrated in the 60s.

They're a good team and should compete for the district championship again.

Next week will tell if they are just very good or have a chance to be something special.

lions able to run out the clock.

45-20 Livingston.

Good luck Concordia on the rest of the season.

ONA drive that started at the Lions 18 in the waning moments of Q3, the backup QB and a lot of the second team skill player march down the field for a 30 yard field goal 45-20. 8:36 to go. 

Guess revenge is on a lot of minds for next week at Homer Bryce Stadium against Chapel Hill.
