Self High 5

You folks know what’s great about HS Football?  For several months a year we get away from divisive politics and all that goes with it.  On the back burner goes the hate, name calling, inflation, crime and all that goes with it.  We get to see our young men & women play ball, cheer, march in the band. With (mostly) good natured ribbing among the adults.
So as we post here and watch the games on Friday night, give thanks we still have this little bit of americana to enjoy.  

Vidor Football will have its own broadcast for both home and away games this season. They have a Facebook page called, 'The Vidor Pirate Broadcast Team.'

Texan Live ?

Was definitely past due--still working on some other new features

I love it, definitely can get used to this. 😎

Yep just run it 2-3 times to get a first down, clock stops to move the chains. Come to the line and spike it to kill the clock. Now you’re inside the 15 yard line and have maybe 40-50 seconds with 3 plays left to score. More than likely one of those run plays breaks and you score. Pass should have never been in the conversation unless you’re facing 3rd or 4th and long.

Thinking back all that confusion on the extra points and burned timeouts really cost us and likely caused the coaches to panic a little bit at the end of the game. With no way to stop the clock, we got pass happy. Yes you read that right, the Vidor Pirates got pass happy and it cost them the game.

Agree with all. 

I can't understand that! We had plenty of time for some run plays! Just dumb!

One other unique thing about this win, rarely (hardly ever) seen Vidor win a game by kicking XP’s.  Kudos to the kicker, even if he does kick from the wrong side.

Isn't this the same team that rallied big against silsbee was it?? Thats why they play 4 quarters 
 
 

Helluva guy. I played at Lamar with him and he coached my son on the D Line. My son loved him. 

He plays Nose Guard, but just Tulane and Lamar right now. But he was just invited to play in the Border Wars All-Star game against SWLA (first ive heard of that game) on NYE, so hopefully that helps get his name out there.

Durn, 18 pages.  This rivals a MCM thread.  Lol, ordinarily at this time of the year Ltown and Vidor are getting ready for basketball.  😂

What is the weather supposed to be like? If it's more of this cold, windy, rainy mess then I think that would be advantage Pirates. Ltown wont be able to execute the passing game as efficiently, we might see some more of the dropsies like LCM had with a wet ball. Either way the field wont be an issue, the playing surface should be fine for running the ball. Those plastic pellets and synthetic turf don't seem to hold the water as much as the natural grass. Me personally I kinda miss the old mud slop field with the way they used to custom paint different awesome looking designs on the 50 yard line and end zones every year.

Looking forward to a good game. I like our chances. My son has good Pirate friends he will be battling against. Prayers for an injury free game so both teams can go into the 1st round and represent no matter where either wind up seeding.

They brought it on senior night, figured they would. Why do we always get the bottom of the barrel referee crews when we play you guys? The clock operator should not be doing high school football games and should be banned from every stadium in the area. Stupid pass and long return was the difference in the game. Oh well, you can’t win them all but you do have to beat Lumberton.

We need to take the ball after halftime, drive down there and score. That opening drive of the second half will give you a good idea of how this game is going to go in my opinion.

Yea they haven’t stopped our run game very well, just a few key stops have stalled our drives deep in HH territory.

We sure missing Seppy. 

FM 102.3 the Eagle. You should be able to listen online.

The most important stat to me. Vidor zero turnovers

Sadly it won't. But KOGT will have radio coverage.

I am enjoying reading this thread. Have not been on SETX much since 2017 my oldest last year playing. Now that my youngest is playing I've been trying to get caught up. Must say, I have missed it!
