Hoping the Dogs win but my take is that BH is more physical and has a better coaching staff BH 35 Nederland 14

Well I wonder why teams like Katy, Denton Ryan, Highland Park, Southlake Carrol, WOS, Aledo, and North Shore continue to always be successful. I know they usually have talent, but I also know that winning is extremely important to every class. They have a great desire to be like the winners before them. I would certainly say that is a mental aspect. Do the Lumberton players want to win? Sure they do, but they are so used to losing that if they win, they are happy and if they lose, it’s oh well we tried.

It’s fairly simple, they start getting that doubt as soon as they fall behind during a game. Example: oh no here we go again. You are correct about parents and coaching being a big part of it. I agree that being soft is due partly to the coaching staff. However , I also believe that winning must become very important to you as a player. Basically the parents, community, coaching staff, and players are all responsible for a winning culture.

Coach Babb did a very good job. He raised the participation numbers and worked extremely hard, He is a good man and cares for his players. I know going back and forth to Houston on the weekends to see family got old. Being with family was priority #1. He also realized that winning football games at Lumberton is extremely difficult. There is not much talent and the players are used to losing. They work hard but just don’t have the mental aspect of what it takes to win. Who ever gets the job is going to have to change the losing culture. All the best to coach Babin and his family.

As I always state, you must improve to continue to win. Got the win tonight but took a step back with no improvement will be at least a 14 point underdog vs BH. Hopefully will beat KP in 2 weeks to come in 4th, get a playoff berth vs FB Marshall and bow out at 5-5 which is an improvement from last years 4-7

Boy I really have to give the Vidor faithful a lot of credit. They are always a bunch of post for them. A big credit too their loving fans, especially since you can count on one hand the number of years they have had a good team

Certainly about improvement that is how you continue to win

Hopefully they will continue to improve each week. It’s going to take a thorough improvement to be able to beat BH and Crosby. If not 4th place at 5-4 and one and done vs FB Marshall finishing 5-5 not what you want

Another good win, as of now 3 way tie for 2nd with BH and PNG. Let’s continue to improve and beat Dayton for win #3 in district. Appears that defense played better, but struggled on offense. Must continue to get all 3 phases of game going. Hopefully this will happen

The Raiders started the season FRIENDLY and finished the season FRIENDLY. It will be interesting to see if the new AD/head football coach they hire addresses the major problem of being extremely soft and not being competitive. There must be a complete culture change and completely different attitude if the Raiders plan on winning

I certainly hope Razor is right

I certainly hope they can, however last year BH handed them a tail kicking and for some reason they do not play well against Crosby and they have to play both games on the road

Simply according to how much Nederland improves from last week. They must continue to improve. Texas City, Dayton, and Kingwood Park games are crucial for Nederland since I don’t see them beating BH or Crosby. I simply think they must improve each week. Remember that Lufkin is overrated and that tough loss to the Indians really hurt, so these next games are crucial in my opinion

You have Vidor’s no offense vs Lumberton’s no defense. However Vidor players are not as soft as the Raider players, so I pick them as a 2 touchdown favorite. That softness is why they are known as the FRIENDLY RAIDERS

HJ OF showdown next week for 3rd and 4th

Hey Raiders finally found a way to not be FRIENDLY congrats. Makes the Vidor game extremely important. Who ever wins takes 4th place lumberton could actually come in 3rd if they win by a big margin. My pick is Vidor by a least 2 scores because they play much harder than the Raiders

Good win for the Bulldogs. Completed step 1 of road to playoffs. Now must have a great week of improvement to face Texas City in a crucial game. Would sure like to see a home win. Congrats on a good game

And finished 4-7 luckily made the playoffs and got clobbered in the 1st round. Hopefully better this year, but going to have to improve rapidly

Those are very good stats, however stats don’t win a game. Again all phases need to improve. 1-2 doesn’t cut it

All phases need to improve including the running game. You must improve every week to be a quality team. If this were not so, Nederland’s record would not be 1-2

may be closer than one thinks Dubois does a super job getting them ready to play and Silsbee has not been playing very well this year

sure hope the Bulldogs can bounce back from the tough loss to the Indians They are going to have to improve in all phases of the game to make the playoffs, especially penalties and turnovers These next 3 games are crucial for making the playoffs
