Lions Pride 2021

I was there. We turned the ball over a few times. The most frustrating was an interception in the end zone where our receiver quit running the route. Had that not happened, Livingston goes up by 21 and the game is basically a wrap. Orangefield also recovered an inside kick that led to their last drive. It was a sloppy game. It shouldn't have been close. Hats off to the Bobcats for fighting back. I think that was their first game of the season and they were still dealing with Laura. I will always wonder what would have happened if they had played for OT instead of the win? The Bobcats had the ball for 20 of the 24 minutes in the second half and our defense was gassed.

If you play Carthage again, you have a good squad. It means you beat WOS. I would feel good about the chances at that point. It's hard to beat a team twice in the same season. Region 3 is the Region of Death. I'd favor the winner of that bracket to win it all.

For those with smart tvs (should be everyone by now), type in LISD communications dept in the YouTube app and select the Livingston ISD Comm Department home page. That should get you to the game.

I feel bad for my neighbors to the south. I pray for a running clock and second string to get in the game as soon as possible.

Region 3 is probably the most top heavy region in Div 2. Jasper played them tough, it was the closest game Carthage had this year if I recall. Jasper is rated correctly. This isn't the one you have to win. It's the possible rematch down the road you have to worry about.

Mr E was my dad!

Friday is going to be big, no doubt. The Wildcats ran it down to less than a minute to go in the first half, thinking they were going in with a tie. But Livingston beat them on coverage and went in 21-14 at the half, then scored on the first drive of the third and it was a wrap. We doinked a field goal and kneeled at the one yard line to finish the game. We out muscled them. Even if the Pirates eat up clock, the Lions don't need a lot of time to score.

You're going with that? We were bad last year with him as our QB. There was talk about him before he got to high school he was going to be the man. We're the biggest school in the Lake Livingston area. Not all the schools in our county offer football. If you want to play football it's either Livingston or Corrigan in Polk County. Leggett, Big Sandy, Goodrich and Onalaska don't offer the sport. So it's not unusual to see a kid come from one of those places either in Jr high or high school. So stop with the sour grapes.

The problem is you need to score a lot and win by a lot, if you want to avoid tie breaker scenerios. Livingston maxed out against Splendora. You lost to them. So you're behind before you step off the bus. Just like you say the loss to Splendora is a fluke, the Huffman game at LCM was a fluke, except they won theirs. You're not beating Huffman. If you want at least second place, you have to win in blowout fashion and that's not happening.

Who did we recruit? That would be news to me.

We're talking about this year. And if the game was in Vidor, I might feel different about the outcome. But the game is in Livingston and the Pirates have the long bus ride. Hence why I'm picking Livingston.

After last night, I'm taking Livingston. How Vidor let Splendora beat them is a head scratcher. The Lions offense continues to pick up yards in chunks and the defense has found the stops it needed. If Vidor wins, we could have a messy scenario where Vidor, Splendora and Livingston all finish 3-2. Then we're looking at tiebreakers. Vidor is going to have to max out. They don't have the firepower to do it. 27-21 Lions

Per every "expert" in Texas, Vidor was going ride roughshod over everyone in 4A. The Pirates have 2 losses already. Those same experts said Livingston was going to be terrible for the umpteenth time in a row. Maybe the experts were wrong?

I still believe the district championship goes through Huffman Hargrave. Every year, someone says they're going to dethrone them and the Falcons find a way. HJ is going to find that out in basketball real soon. Gotta be something in the water in Lake Houston. That said... the winner of Livingston Vidor has a good shot. LCM is bad, Lumberton is bad, Splendora has enough to beat the Bears and the Raiders. The goal is to finish in the top 2. District 9 is a monster and it's probably best to stay away from Lindale and Kilgore in the first round. I don't think Livingston is losing at home this year. It'll be a close game, but the Lions have too many kids that can take it to the house at anytime. Leaving a minute on the clock is a bad idea. Splendora thought they were going into half time with a tie and the Lions just put another score on the board. It'll be fun.

I'm surprised Splendora didn't put up more of a fight. I wish the Wildcats well the rest of the season. It's going to be an interesting game in the jungle next week.

I have been holding it down for LCM in the woods for the past 17 years. I like it when the Bears do well. For most of my time on this board, my handle has been BearEssentials97. With that out of the way... No, this is based on what I seen of y'all. I ain't been impressed. I told you so after the Woodville game. I said there's no excuse to lose to the Eagles, y'all got at least twice the numbers. You had Kinkaid dead to rights. But once they shook off the dust they proceeded to steam roll you. You couldn't but a drive together to slow them down . It reminded me of the Texans meltdown in Kansas City in January. And you might as well stayed in the locker room against Jasper. I stated I was glad the game against Carthage was called off. They would still be scoring touchdowns as we speak. We score in a hurry. And we pick yards up in chunks. The Bears haven't had an answer for that all season. Y'all have a hard time keeping a drive alive. But that's why we play the game. We'll see you in Livingston in a few weeks.

They're going pound LCM this year in Livingston and next year on Bear Path. Y'all don't have an offense to keep up with Livingston. The Lions are a track meet waiting to happen. Next year, when they play in North Orange, you can buy me a beer at Spanky's before we both go sit on the home side because I was right about this. I raised Lions, but I'll always be a Bear.

I wouldn't go there yet... We play Hargrave and Splendora on the road. Both have been a house of horrors for us. I'm surprised y'all lost to Splendora; they haven't looked good this year. Vidor has been solid all season. We're going to beat the Battlin' Bears.

It's always the golden triangle games that have issues to the start. But can't complain too much. It's awesome to have all these games at your fingertips.

Well, it's the last time we play so... Byeeee!!!!¡

Morris is a Monstar!

Oww, you hurt my feelings!

No joke. It's been a long time lost in the woods. I'm even shocked at their improvement. My poor Bears, it's not looking good on Bear Path.

Y'all gonna have power soon. Meanwhile in PA and Orange, they're looking at at least a week. and let's not even talk about Lake Charles. I hear y'all barely had anything. all the damage in Hardin County was in Silsbee. The Tigers ain't using that as an excuse tonight and neither are the Mustangs. Get over yourself.

Nah, that was never it. We would have won Thursday too. Y'all were outclassed on the field and out coached. Adieu, Lumberton fans. I wish I could say it's been a pleasure, but it wasn't.
