  1. In no particular order...

    1. Livingston probably won't enjoy 20-4a

    2. LC-M is in total disarray STILL

    3. PN-G is taking care of business even without home games

    4. Josh Wright is a very good and consistent back

    5. Vidor/Central is becoming a rivalry

    6. Asa Cardenas catches EVERYTHING he gets his hands on

    7. Ozen should throw to their big WR's more

    8. Grogan gives Nederland a whole new threat on offense

    9. Lumberton is still pretty salty even without all those seniors

    10. There might be hope for the much maligned Nederland run defense

    You must have a great teacher!   ;D ;D

    In all seriousness, these are dead on.  I kind of disagree with 7 and 8.  The big receivers still havn't proved to me that he can take over a game against defenders that he outleap (and believe me, he can jump) defenders that he already have 6 inches on.  Grogan have not proved he can do that against a good defense.

    I agree with both of you here.  Except I still think Lumberton from what Ive seen is fighting for the bottom spots in this district.

    LOL, now here's an L-Town hater.

    New post season picks:

    1. Lumberton

    2. PNG

    3. Central

    4. Nederland - May move up on my list based on this Saturdays performance against the Indians, go big Ned.

    In everyones dust...........poor Livingston

  2. Athletes in High School should NEVER be recruited to play at another high school, even if they had to evacuate from their hometown due to disasters. On the other hand, athletes who are evacuated should be able to join the school nearest where they are staying at with just a verbal notification by the UIL. Also, they should only be allowed to play at the district for which they have evacuated to, not jump schools to find the best one.

  3. Livingston had a serious meltdown because of the beating L-Town was doling out near the end of the first half. If they want to win any in district they better get a handle on things, just a little advice Lions coach, use your outside lanes, that was most effective against us, if you could call it that. Livingston doesn't have the size to go up the middle and the passing game wasn't there either..........passing yardage first half a big huge ONE yard.

  4. Couldn't help myself, here are the district 20-4A Massey ratings.

  5. having watched both teams closely this year.... i say lcm might pull off an upset... PNG has an overrated qb but a very decent runningback #7 harmon i believe... should be closer than everyone thinks!

    How is Tatum overrated?

    he isnt as good as everyone makes him out to be.... but he is decent... he isnt better than any other quarterback coming out of png in recent years

    LOL, yeah I remember last year they were saying Tatum and PNG didn't have much of a passing game. I also remember how they beat L-Town, it was the passes, Tatum got a few good ones past our guys so don't count him out. He may not be a blue chipper but he seems to be effective. I just hope their squeaker against BH versus L-Towns out right win is a sign that Lumberton can pull it out on PNG in a few weeks when we play them in the 2nd game in their new stadium, what a bad spot to be in, at least we're not first.  :o

  6. I come from a family of referees. My dad was a referee for 45 years, my uncle, his older brother, was one for closer to 50 years and even today scouts new referees for college and professional football and my brother has been a referee at high school and the college level for around 20 years. That being said the men I've met as officials for the most part have a lot of integrity, BUT, as in everything else there are exceptions. I remember the first year Ozen played varsity, my uncle went into the dressing room at half time during the L-Town Ozen game and reamed the team for the calls they were making, this team was obviously trying to give the game to Ozen, Lumberton managed to win but by coincidence they only won by 3 points while they needed 4 to make the playoffs, Ozen made it instead, never quite figured out how they could lose there way into the playoffs. Anyway, this team made several blatantly bad calls, but unless you saw money or something else being exchanged there's not alot a team can do. The coaches need to protest this to the UIL if they feel they were shortchanged, as with Lumberton, this won't change the outcome but it could get bad officials off the field.

  7. Lumberton 7   IKE 8

    I  just love the fact that the 8-7  score is still the most important score in your life. When the game against LaMarque is one of the most remembered to Train Fans. But glad we can make you feel so bad for a year. LOL

    Mav, to you the LaMarque game may have been the most memorable, but to me, it was the Dayton game hands down. In my opinion, that game showed how much guts both the coach and the boys had. I mean, had it been Fuller, we'd have tried the pat kick but coach Creduer pulled out the big huevos and went for it all, win or lose. I think that game had more to do with our winning season than anything else. Just my humble old fart opinion.
  8. Kirbyville at LCM this coming Monday night at 6pm.  Coaches are trading film first thing Thursday morning.

    Are you messing with us? I think there is a UIL rule for football that you can't play teams more than 1 class over or under you. For example a 1A can't play a 3A or higher and a 2A can't play a 4A or higher. Someone correct me if I'm wrong....

    I'm not sure if that's true or not, but i'd bet they went and got an exemption if that's the case just to put some normalcy into the area.
  9. 1. Nederland

    2. PNG

    3. Central

    4. Vidor,Lumberton, Livingston

    Do not count Nederland out of first as the preseason rankings predicted, they started the season against a very fast WOS team and without at least 3 of their starters.

    What do you think Central is?  Man you guys are out of site!  Lumberton has to beat a 4A opponebt before I give them props.  Ozen has to win a game before they cross my mind. So right now I see this. WHo has seen Livingston?  Right now this is how I see it since Ned can't stop the run!...

    Central

    PNG

    Vidor

    NED

    Barbers Hill is 4A

    Not only are they 4-A but PNG squeaked by them, Lumberton just left a grease spot on the field.......Livingston from my understanding was in a pretty soft district last year, I think they won't even make the post-season this year.
  10. 1. Nederland

    2. PNG

    3. Central

    4. Vidor,Lumberton, Livingston

    Do not count Nederland out of first as the preseason rankings predicted, they started the season against a very fast WOS team and without at least 3 of their starters.

    Yes, but they are a 3a school.  A avg/good 4a school should beat a GREAT 3a school.

    As much as I dislike Hooks and his teams, you have to respect the powerhouse that West Orange is, I'm wondering if Layingemdown has ever seen them play. The Mustangs can hold there own with any 4-a team in the area, as they are one of the largest if not the largest 3-a schools around here. Remember they only miss 4-a status by a few students. I personally will be happy when people realize that Lumberton will be in the playoffs for several years to come, my pick:

    1. or 2. PNG

    1. or. 2 Lumberton

    3. Vidor

    4. Central

    And win or lose I want to see Lumberton play WOS again in the near future, I think we can pull one out on them.

  11. Silsbee wins by 2 TDs

    Proof that they let everyone get on  here even those that know very little about sports.

    Now I was asked to explain something and everyone that was at the game Friday in Lumberton will understand.

    I said going into last week that sometimes it looks like Coach C is as much or more concerned about teaching things in the preseason than winning. I was told I was crazy. Ok here it is Folks. Lumberton  was running the ball at will against BH. after getting the lead The Raiders had several series where you could tell that Coach C was tring to get the young QB Ryan some confidence they went out and started throwing the Ball. At least once maybe more they went out and went 3 and out and threw all 3 times. You could hear the fans groan, but I thought it was a good idea to get Ryan some passes. In our District people will stack the line if they think we cant throw at all. Great Job Coaches, Players and Fans. See yall in Silsbee where we win I wont say Big because Coach C is not that kind of Coach that runs up the score.

    Mav, you and I are on the same wave length, I walk the L-Town fence line with some of my friends and one of them started complaining about the coach going to a passing game there for awhile. I told him that I figured the coach was trying to get the QB some work on his accuracy. You can see when the boy throws that he has an arm, once he gets more accurate he will get to be a serious theat in the air.
  12. Wow, sounds like we have an AWESOME offense this year.  Tell me fellas, since I don't get to watch but 1 game a year when I get to make it back to the hill...is the problem the offensive scheme, wrong players in the wrong position, or is our talent level just that far behind our competition every week.  Next week will be way beyond UGLY I'm afraid!!!!!

    BH offense actually looked pretty good, especially around the corners, unfortunately for them and fortunately for us our "suspect" secondary turns out to be really good. BH did makes some good moves around the outside corners though. Only problem I saw was the coaches depend on that quarterback to run the ball too much, they need to work on a running back and let the quarterback do his quarterbacking. If he gets hurt, and I pray he doesn't, it'll be because they are running him way too much. Lumberton's defense up the middle seems to be really really strong this year, they will carry us into the playoffs. We just need to work on that quarterbacks' passing, he has a good arm but his accuracy isn't very good as of yet. At least they put the stops on the fumbling this week, only 2, back to back of course, in the fourth quarter. Now let's work on penalties coach.
  13. Correction to Mav. I doubt anyone from BH has "HATTED" on Lumberton! Last time we played you guys was probably in the 90's (not much history here). I for one was rooting Lumberton on last year because if you aint PNG or Nederland in that district you don't get much respect! I hope Lumbeton tears through district again, but this game I gotta root for THE HILL!! Can't wait for Saturday these young Eagles have something to proove and I hope they do it this game!!!

    Go Eagles takem out!!

    I'm of course leaning for L-Town, probably by no more than one touchdown, my hope though is that BH gets a real good working out and goes against Dayton soon and BEATS them by 1 point like L-Town did, yes that was BEATS, so that the Dayton Burros fans can whine for a year about someone else........ ;)    [move]CHOO CHOO.....[/move][move]GO BIG BLUE!!!!![/move]
  14. I think it is going to be a tight game, but I hope BH suprises me and goes off on the L-Train ;D Not that I don't like Lumberton lord knows yall don't need another hater ;D You guys had a great seasonlast year and I believe some of that has to carry over to this year!! How are the Lumberton Visitor stands?

    The Lumberton visitors side is big compared to alot of schools as up until about 5-10 years ago(?) they remodeled the stadium and the visitors side at the time was the home side. That's why unlike alot of schools Lumberton has a Press/Coaches box on both sides of the stadium.
  15. I need your address please. Im sending tissues, a box of chocolates and a sympathy card. Dayton is the best team around here no matter if you like them or not.

    I didn't say that they were a bad team. Just that W.B. was better Mr. A.D.D. I can't read.

    You still haven't explained your point as to why Dayton should not be in our poll at all. I am all ears.

    Since you are full of answers why don't you tell me why they should be in besides you saying "we will continue to include them after the realignment". Crosby isn't that much further, include them. All heck just put that whole district in. It would make more since. Not fair to the teams in that district that would like to be ranked to who they play. I could go on forever with this. I'm sorry you don't have the intelligence to figure it out. This is like talking to my 3yr old. You can say things till your purple in the face and they look at you like deer looking at head lights.

    How is it not fair to those teams? They have never been in our site area but Dayton is. Jasper's district hasn't a team that we have covered, should we stop covering them too? Also West Brook and PAM, should we stop covering them? Please answer these questions. You say Crosby isn't much farther and that is true but this site decided where the line would be drawn and that's that. We realized that we would be covering some districts partially but that was what we thought was best. It's all about our membership and our site area, not what district a team may be in.

    Obviously you can't see past your spite of Dayton.

    I know I'm gonna get dawged for this but here goes, first of all this is just more smack after listening to the smack attack Friday night, in particular what PROFESSOR Bull said and in response again to Alfrogo or Asternaro or Alfonso, whatever his name is..... First, Dayton isn't as good as they obviously think they are, they do have a few extremely talented guys but without them, not much of a team. Second, I wonder if they greased any palms to get into a district with 3 brand new teams playing their first ever varsity season, [move]talking about being handed a playoff spot[/move]. I just hope they can manage a sole district championship. The way I figure it, the Burros, whoops I mean broncos fans are still sore because Lumberton snuck a win by them, just goes to show the L-Train never gave up. Lumberton had a genuinely good team last year considering there were NO blue chip prospects on the team, it took the ENTIRE unit to win the way they did, and they really should get props considering that the first time they ever made it into the playoffs, they won at least a share of the district championship. The Raiders played as a team and the coach pushes that team concept and they will do the same this year. Will they do as well as last year? Personally I don't know, I sure hope they do, I think they will make the playoffs, but it will be higher than 4th place, more like at least 2nd place..............who knows...........we'll just have to wait and see.
  16. as i remember correctly, the first offensive drive they had during our scrimmage my senior year, last year, i started at defensive end and i blew right through the line and tackled the running back in the backfield. it goes to show you that with the horns quickness on defense this team is very dangerous and will be very productive this year!  ;)

    Well well, you just must be some bad dude to just bust right through the line and tackle a running back. Dude...it was a scrimmage with the 2nd string playing most of the time. Some of you HF people seem to always bring up that scrimmage like it really meant something. I don't know who it was that said this last year...maybe one of the HF coaches or something said...they weren't impressed with Lumberton at all last year during the scrimmage and bla bla bla...then Lumberton goes and pulls off the season that they did. So you HF fans just keep putting a lot of stock into that SCRIMMAGE last year and see where that gets you.

    What's the difference in them talking bout that scrimmage and you'll talking bout LAST YEARS SEASON? Hey Lumberton 2008 is here just thought I'd let you'l know.

    Guys scrimmages are nothing but practice, they don't mean much at all. I remember one year Lumberton apparantly spanked West Orange-Stark at a scrimmage, but, as of yet, they've never beat WOS during a regular game. The day we do will be an extremely happy day for me. To me, bringing down Hooks' team would be sweeeeeeet. Coach, put 'em on the schedule.
