See look at ya. You already talking basketball.

Defense is fine and seems to be improving every week. Palestine was pretty good offensively, well coached, and with the exception of the Kilgore game, has put up solid numbers all season.  
Whether it be nerves, missed assignments, bad luck or just a statistical anomaly, special teams play this week was bad and accounted for 16 Palestine points. 
With round 2 being on Friday and basically at home, I have no doubt that extra day will be well used to address that 3rd phase. 
Lumberton defense is complimentary of a very dynamic offense and together are playing well enough to beat any team in the region. Arguably the best and definitely the most entertaining Raider team ever. 

Good luck to both teams. Whoever comes out ahead will have earned it and will represent our area well. Praying for player safety and safe travel for those that made the drive. Wish I could have made it.

Well they are not going in the first round if projections are correct. Seems a bit ridiculous but unfortunately that's seems to be the popular thing to do these days. I say go get a loan, take out an insurance policy and go do what you were given a free education to do.   Pratt is missing out on a chance to up his value like Texaz says.  Harmon on the other hand is probably just scared of Wilson. 

Georgia really only has one legit first round guy (CB Davis) and I am sure he will play and play well. The real question is will the entire team play to the same level as last Saturday's very impressive effort in the SEC championship. If so, it will not end well for Texas. 

Excellent summary. Great insight. Perfect analogy. Proud of our players, coaches and community. Next year starts now.

Lumberton players and coaches prepared the best they could and fought hard but the better team won. Henderson was bigger, faster and stronger than Lumberton.  Could we have won? Absolutely, and that's why we play the game. We fought hard, took some chances but came up short. It's very similar to this thing called LIFE.  Our soph QB did a great job all season after being thrust into being the starter early in the season. A receiver became our starting RB(and a damn good one), coaches changed the offense mid-year and everyone learned to fight their asses off to overcome challenges. Isn't that what high school athletics is supposed to be about? Teaching kids life lessons so they can grow into hard working, respectable young men & women capable of making a positive contribution to this world.  We do these young men a disservice and prevent them from becoming what they could be, when we blame coaches, the offensive scheme, the refs, the announcer and anything else we disagree with. If we want to win more games, try encouraging these boys to spend more time in the weight room, on the track/field/hills, at the meal table and spending less time playing video games, on social media, drinking soda and vaping. Let's quit looking for someone else to blame for our own shortcomings. The worst thing we can do as parents and leaders is to teach these kids to become Victims. We have enough victim mentality in this world already.  
Good win Henderson. Good season Raiders. Keep working hard and getting better. 

Happy Thanksgiving from Saudi Arabia! Thanks for keeping the updates coming!! Eat some bird for me! God Bless!!
 

That is correct. O line is pretty dang good. 

Look mom I can change the colors.

Actually at a pep rally before the year started Coach Babin told everybody that we WILL stand for the national anthem and honor our country (and he was talking to the community not just the team)... that’s where it all begins.

Good luck tonight Bears!!!  Complete the Sweep.

There’s no place like home.  There’s no place like home.   
On a serious note, let’s go 2-0 tonight and 2-0 tomorrow. 
Good luck to my Raiders and the rest of D11-1 this weekend. 

Congrats Raiders first bi district win since 2007 but hey who keeps up with history

True.
We can make this more interesting if you would like. Since you say it probably wouldn't be an upset, then I'll take the underdog Tigers getting 3 points. How much?

Thanks. Had a pretty rough go tonight. Don’t know how your QB kept a grip but he threw some dang pretty balls. That made a huge difference in the game.  Plus he pulled off a draw for 30. We knew that was coming and missed it. He’s gonna be really tough next year.  Run blocking was impossible for both sides with the field conditions. Thought it was gonna be tough as we had the same issues earlier this year against Concordia. That field made the conditions tonight look good. Good luck next week!

We can move the game to Lumberton so LCM will not be at a disadvantage.

Congrats to Splendora.  They played tough with almost no mistakes. They were the better team tonight. QB is a gamer and played great tonight. 41 had big plays on both sides of the ball.  Raiders made a few costly mistakes but played hard and took it to the wire after a rough first half.   Raiders had their chance late and Splendra stepped up. This was an awesome game. $5.00 was a heck of a deal for all that got to see it.
