Hard to get layups when you’re in a football huddle linking arms out beyond the volleyball line.  Sounds like y’all at least moved the ball around some.

yes lol

we ran good ole 4 corners

Yea that’s embarrassing too. One of the few reasons why I left LCM. Maybe Peevy will make a coaching change since that’s a Crouch hire

peevy can be heard when announcing game 

lol

i grad with his dad at OF

Just now, The Observer said:

no they did like two kids in one corner playing rock/paper/sissors, 2 kids standing on same side at other corner 

and Lum just sit back and watch

i think LCM might been up like 8-4

i was confused why LCM started stalling

they pressed and scored quick

then never pressed again

I could see stalling the ball by passing it back and forth atleast it looks like your doing something. But the whole huddle thing. LCM huddled up like that? When Coach Harley was at LCM they played stall ball the whole game. The whole stall ball thing kind of reminds me of Vidor’s slot T offense 😂

no that’s true - SFA got tip scored 2 and then we went into stall- LOL

we could only shoot if we get a lay up

there coach said F it - stayed in zone - and long game

I am betting Orangefield was never down by 10+ to SFA when they were stalling.

How do you win a game down by 10 and holding the ball in that manner?

i played for OF. back in - way back - early 80s

stalked on SFA - they were ranked - and it flustered them - OF won 26-24 in dbl OT

now i as player would rather lost than stall but i wasn’t coach

That’s embarrassing. I honestly hope the players parents don’t think this was good idea. You play to win the game.  

i’m parent of #10 

i don’t like Lumberton stalling

but they not only ones 

i hated it when LCM stalked against Lumberton with both tv news teams there looking for game of the week and they stalling play rock/paper/sissors 

and i really hated it when i was OF player and we did it entire game 

BUT there is no rule saying you can’t stall - and that is a coaching choice 

so i guess until rule change we will continue to not like it but accept it as a coaching strategy 

on max prep - game reporter 1 dunk Silsbee 1 dunk Lumberton?

I hated it when LCM did it to Lumberton and I don't want Lumberton resorting to it. That's loser basketball no matter how the score ends.

yes i hated when LCM did it to Lumberton - just play best ball 

my high school coach ran 4 corners every game - i hated playing basketball back then - 1982 long time ago

I think most coaches are animated to a certain extent, but Coach Mitchell takes it to a new level.  I do agree that how a coach acts has an impact on his players.  

i’m not saying it makes them a bad man

my point is student feed off that - then you get kids acting out

parents (myself) feed off that  - parents acting out

players feed off that - players acting in negative aggression 

and old saying you can’t run a day care with the front door open

best person can lose when running on emotion because rational thoughts go out the door 

ok threw out a bunch of trolling - so expect some good responses in morning

but remember im like that hog rolling around in the mud - when you jump in, I like getting dirty - lol

and i did post about hiding - i am no hider - i will invite anyone over for a beer or drink and we can debate in real time - i would cook for you but cant at the moment

i love debate - was on debate team in high school and went to college to become a lawyer - took a side step from that but it never left my blood

Mitchell gets hate because of his antic on sideline. Maybe deserved. maybe not, BUT Jake McDonald at OF and Brad Jeffcoat at LCM are horrible as well

and this rubs off on team and student sections.

LCM student section has called a Lumberton player the N word last year and this year a player called a Lumberton player the N word.

Lumberton, LCM, Vidor, Orangefield, BC student sections are horrible. And school admin, coaches, and parent allow this to go on. 

and parents, including my self are guilty of getting too vocal (it is hard with worst official in country but no excuse)

I've been to almost every game these last three years, Why, only because i have a son that plays for Lumberton. 

And i will say all the haters on this years basketball team, do you really know basketball or just hating to get reaction.

1) team started year without TWO 6'4' starter - one came back then out for the year - other come back and is extremely limited due to the injury

if you do not think that has an impact to team play - you are crazy

2) a third 6'4" guy that was lost for 10 games during year - BUT there for district - in my opinion this kid is incorrectly coached - when on has great 3 point shot but lacks ability to drive lane - so he should be used underneath to take advantage of his body and leaping ability 

3) yes a less than great team - but with the worst officials in history - it does kill this team - yes both teams play with the poor officials - but better teams can over come these poor officials

so yes very poor officiating, injuries, and poor coaching has hurt Lumberton.

Silsbee easy #1, LCM should been easy #2 but WOS, OF, and Lumberton were all equally same. BUT you have to play the game and Lumberton did not take advantage of opportunities

so follow up on last remark.

and just to be clear - i am not a Lumberton fan, and don't live in Lumberton (i live in Orange almost Vidor but Orangefield school district)

I think Mitchell is good guy, i believe he has basketball skill - but does that make you a good coach. In my opinion no

i do believe he has the ability to be a good coach but is not there yet. He still learning and hopefully will get there. Because honestly, young men today need better leaders.

first thing in being a coach is being a leader, knowing your players, teaching them to grow and get most from their abilities while developing the young men mentally, physically, and emotionally. 

I laugh at the screaming and fits on the side line because i love doing same thing to the lousiest officials i have ever seen (worst). I love pushing it to the limit.

but what does that get - on me asked to leave game - on him players under performing 

BUT with that said, i am a supervisor of over 66 people - on the job you will not hear me raise my voice, demean anyone, harassment free, but most important, learn my teams strength and weakness and develop people to become successful. Put them in situation to succeed while coaching them to grow in areas of weakness so that they have all the opportunities to be successful in their career. 

now lets talk about Brock

6'6" player that can handle ball and shoot - that makes wins come easy.

so lets look at before and during and after Brock

so basically Lumberton only made playoffs one time before Brock and Mitchell was player on that team (so that gives him some skill in the game)

so Lumberton without Brock and with Mitchell - no playoff appearances

Lumberton with Brock and Mitchell - 3 playoff appearances

First year without Brock and with Mitchell no playoff appearance

quick assessment - Lumberton was only good because of Brock - not Mitchell - is this true, not accurate, unfair, only time can answer 

To me sounds like a lot of Mitchell and/or Lumberton haters on here. And that's ok, its your personal thoughts - you own that, that's your right

And everyone has a right to their opinions. And all should support others opinion rather you agree, like, dislike, or hate

I unlike most of this new America - that wants to destroy un liked opinion- support all speak 

but with that said

i believe Most people making comments on here - in my opinion - would never make them face to face or in a public forum - and if you are too scared to put a face with it - then why make strong opinion - stand up with your words

I’m assuming your a Lumberton fan. We have been dominant over the raiders for a long time 

you are very much assuming wrong. i am a WOS fan in football because they consistently represent the area.

in other sports i don’t cheer for a single team, honestly could care less results. 

i want good game, injury free, safe, and FAIR game - nothing more nothing less

And LCM have been beating the pretty boys  for a long time also. I hope you are regarding WOS football because in other sports not so much. 

and i’m guessing you calling pretty boys Lumberton

but i’m not from Lumberton, never lived in Lumberton, will never live in Lumberton, have never worn a Lumberton shirt. 

I am a orange boy, and have called Lumberton much harsh words than that

lol

football is king is Texas  -  unfortunately that’s how it is

even they have had success in track, basketball and baseball 

no where near football dominance

WOS to physical for the softy’s 

WOS has been beating LCM like a drum for decades - so the soft green has been on other side many many times - crying them self to sleep for years

Honestly if they would call it both ways I wouldn’t have issues with it. But letting players play the way they let WOS but call our players for the exact same thing is something else

i’m not gonna say they didn’t call it evenly bad for both teams but with lack of fouls it got agrressive and elbows
