Bronco

It's on Barker-Cypress between 290 and I-10.....

It's off of Barker-Cypress between 290 and I-10.

Congratulations to Lumberton, they won one game they shouldn't have and now they are the toast of the town, albeit, Lumberton. There is no rivalry between Dayton and Lumberton. They have had a great season and even with their fans, I am still pulling for them to beat LaMarque. They were given a break by playing Smiley and that's that. It was much more pleasurable to Dayton to crush Crosby than beat up Smiley and their 100 fans. I did miss their band though. Central comes close, but the Smiley band is lights out. Lumberton will have to prove us all wrong but they appear to be one hit wonders to me.

Nederland is a class school and a class football team. Not many schools can boast of that many consequetive trips to the playoffs. It was just a few years back that Nederland blew out the Broncos in Rice Stadium so, the blow-out last year and this year was a little payback. They will be back next year and most likely re-start their playoff streak. PNG has the best fan support year in and year out. They've made their way back to the playoffs and are a good team. We all wish we could boast of the success they have had over the years. Lumberton and their fans are a little over the top but, I can understand their enthusiasm since they have never been to the playoffs before. Now let's see if they can perform at a high level year in and year out like Dayton, Nederland, and PNG. I looked at their roster and saw that most of them were Seniors. I wish them well like all of the 224A schools but I don't see them sustaining like the others. The only knock on Lumberton is their Stadium announcer. We all have "homey" announcers but, that guy was horrible. He was a Raider Cheerleader with the Stadium mike. He needs to grow up. The rest of the folks in Lumberton can be very proud of your team this year and the spirit that you demonstrated during this run. Let's see if you can keep it up when the losses return. You're going to find that the "little sisters of the poor" are not going to schedule you next year for non-district games and the 224A schools are going to put as many points on you that they can. Mid County madness is a beautiful thing. The Broncos have played well there the last two years and I hope it continues. I am afraid the UIL re-districting will take us out of this rabid football district. We have shown we belong to this fraternity and can handle our own. Many thanks this year to our wonderful Coaches and players. You have made us mighty proud in this little town.
