To my knowledge, Lumberton is the first one who noticed what had happened on the Friday that they played. I’m sure the other schools will be watching from here on out.

I do know that it has been going on for TWO YEARS. They just didn’t catch it happening until now. And yes I have watched every game actually during District. Just be glad they didn’t wait until the end of the season to mess up the playoffs. #yeehaw

I wish y’all The Best of Luck against BC (now that we know they are cheaters). I don’t know how there are not more forfeits knowing they have been doing it since district started. And I am surprised this is not on the news yet. 

Maxpreps now shows Bridge City to be 7-1 with a loss to Lumberton on 9/22 (FF).  Looks like UIL did get involved.

Ohhhh Vidor almost giving BC their first loss in District play.  They could possibly beat them next time they play.

At the worst, dead ball and unnecessary delay on the team.  If the violating team had no timeouts left, then point is awarded to the other team. 

Honestly, that’s what I would’ve assumed would happen is a replay gets called. One of those situations though it should’ve never even came down to 5 sets nor should it have came down to a position of one call possibly altering the game. 

FTLOTG, I understand your perspective but I also believe in "let the players decide it" whenever possible. A good ref in any sport will try to swallow the whistle "up to a point" when they can. Based on what I am reading here it really did seem inadvertent, unintentional, and had no impact on the play.  Just my 2 cents. 

Did the 7th man play the ball?  I hear what you are saying but if it didnt impact the play and was just cheering then its gonna be a nonfactor is my guess. 

It is such a disservice to the local girls that VB stats are either severely underreported on MaxPreps or just flat-out wrong, whether intentional or accidental.  It makes it even more annoying when you know that VB teams have managers and multiple Assistant Coaches who can help get these stats in quickly.  Hell, there are services now that directly import stats into MaxPreps, it doesn't have to be a manual process anymore.   
Getting stats updated, quickly and correctly, in MaxPreps helps to get kids the recognition they deserve, but it seems like too many programs in this area are just not concerned with pumping up their own players.
The Houston Chronicle uses MaxPreps for their player rankings and if you know a little about VB in this area, you can tell that deserving players are missing or some that are listed have incredibly inflated stats.

Vidor went undefeated in the Silsbee Tournament and beat LCM for the championship 2-1.

There would be concern getting those kids to the school on Friday for the games. Most coaches like the fact that the kids are at school already that day.

I don't think so.  DuBois and Mike Trahan (who is on the current coaching staff) were the two I knew of.  There were two more that had applied I believe. 

It's funny how in this world, you really can't have a opinion. Matthews did a hell of a job, and changed many kids lives for the better. In the eyes of every fans you are judged on the what have you done lately rule. Let's be honest with coaches from High School to Pros, you must win, you are judged by that. I feel if Matthews schemed a passing game into his playbook, his teams would have been difficult to beat over the years. However my hat is off to this guy on a great job. I enjoyed the games my sons played against him. Wish you much success coach.

It doesn't take that for a large number of the coaching community to know what jobs are open or gonna be open.  The coaches that people might wish to take the job don't care that it's open.
