Coach #23

Gotta work on the passing game to have a passing game.Not just throw fades when your behind. 

Generic offense, the usual penalties....this might get ugly in 2nd half. 

24-10 Henderson in 4th

Dumb play call being down 9..

24-21

24-14 half

14-0 lumberton. Still in 1st

He may have lost to Lufkin and Reggie McNeal in finals

I think Vince Young won a title with Madison

HAHAHAHAHA.

Actually did get a better draw.  LOL  Away from Carthage & Midlothian.  But still probably Crandall in round 2

Mud/rain was excuse last week.  Hoping cold weather will not be the excuse this week.  Go Raiders

Any 4 seed beating a 1 seed is an upset.  Even if the 2 worst 4A D1 districts in the state are playing each other first round.  So I guess if Lumberton beats Wheatley, that would be an upset.. 

Play-offs are too watered down now.  I like it better back when only 2 teams made playoffs.  Playoffs are supposed to reward teams.  An accomplishment of having a good season. Now teams with losing records are getting in the playoffs. So it's the " everybody gets a trophy" theory. Just looking at the final standings post.  There are 4 local teams with losing records that made playoffs. So your telling those kids that's 3-4 or 2-3 record in district is good enough.  Life lesson: Just because you tried your best....doesn't entitle you to anything..

My 2 cents on an easy fix: Districts with less than 8 teams, 1st and 2nd makes playoffs.  Districts with 8 or more teams, get 4 teams in.

You are DEAD wrong. UIL is the best governing body in any State for athletics. The UIL does more for high school athletics in the state of Texas than any group in any other state. It is the best run organization of its kind. Yes, they generate money, but that money goes to pay the salaries of the GREAT people they have running that organization and to support all of the other (non-revenue generating) Extracurricular Events, like Band Competitions, One-Act-Play and many, many other Academic Competitions.  If you think the UIL is in this to make money you are an idiot. They use football and basketball to fund the organization so they can put on Top Notch Events for all High School kids,  

Well said Mr SmashMouth

Records of fresh and jv levels are not always the great indicator. If that was the case, then I guess we can pencil in undefeated seasons for the jv and varsity next year..c'mon man

If we are in fact 4th. Good thing is you don't see Carthsge or Midlothian early in playoffs. And could get another shot at Splendora. Since 1 and 4 on same side

Peewee kids can call a pass play.,you made my point. Looks like he can't teach a pass play. QB is a hell of a competitive and will get better if someone works with him. 

5-5. Hope no one in Lumberton thinks that's a good season. 4 of the 5 wins against terrible teams Kville, Furr, Liv, BC. I guess you could call the other win against Huff a quality win. Gotta get better. Gotta build program from little kids to high school. Wouldn't surprise me if Babin leaves...Just my take on things.... Bring on the excuses.

Everybody wanna hate on my comments, but spot on. Can't say anything neg or criticize, people get butt hurt. Eventhough I'm close. Generic offense, bad play calling, too many mistakes. All season long

I agree with LCM. 

Looks like same old first half story. Hopefully raiders can pick it a bit in 2nd half

Lumberton had a good group of a bout 12 kids who played select and middle school together.  This years Junior group.  Shame only 3-4 are left playing.  Team would be a lot more talented and deeper if they all still played.  Poor culture and unprofessionalism will hamper a program of any sport. I think last years JV team only had 6 player through district.  For a , then 5A school, that shouldn't happen

I think Silsbee has a sophomore kid who didn't play last year for some reason.  Supposed to be pretty good and have some size.  Think his name was Lowe or Elam.  Could be wrong on the name.

I don't know what Babin makes.  He is athletic director so that's why his salary may be higher than if people were thinking football coach only.
