Read that comment on the Kilgore vs Lindale thread several times.  With a 62 to 55 score ( if not at that, close) at end of 3rd Qtr, wasn’t much wrapping up going on.  Defense seems to be a weakness in Dist 9, but the high powered offenses overcome it.

It seems like that has become a new norm with these high powered offenses. Good defensive play is an afterthought it seems like. Im glad Vidor prides itself on fundamentals on tackling.

Idk what’s going on with that. Some games they wrap up and some they don’t 🤦‍♀️

Yeah, I didn't understand it at all. Like they would have a clear shot at wrapping them up, but then they would just do a full dive at them.😂

I'm curious, does these new coaches at Lumberton teach them to wrap up making an open field tackle? Cause more times than not they were all diving at Vidor's legs and our backs we're getting alot extra yards in the second half when they realized they don't wrap up.

For most long time Vidor fans the Pirates keeping their composure is the most amazing thing of all.  That will to not lay down and then come back from an almost insurmountable deficit (based on the Slot T) leaves most of us with our mouths open in disbelief.  I’ll admit, I’m still in shock.  Can’t say enough about these young men. 

I hardly got any sleep last night cause I still couldn't believe we pulled out that win last night. Just another testament that this team will not lay over for anyone. I honestly thought the game was to big for them during the first half, and that Pirate team with the moxie that we all know showed up in the second half.

I think Livingston made some adjustments since they lost there starting qb and possibly got a little better 

They definitely had to make some adjustments, especially on defense cause im surprised they held HH to 19 points.

I'm actually surprised it's not.

my bad, I misread the comment, I thought you were talking about the playoff game.

Opening weekend of deer season probably had some impact on crowd size. 

I didn't think about that til this morning, probably a good reason why.

Won’t be long and Vidor will be back in 5A. I can see Vidor and Lumberton taking Crosby’s and Barber Hills spot when those 2 move up a classification. 

Yup, probably two more years and we'll be back to 5A.

Key to this game was Ltrain needed to milk the clock the second half which they were unable to do.Vidor moved the ball every time they had it.Vidors defense kept the train from any sustained drives and giving the ball back to their offense time after time and they made them pay. 

That's what me and @RaiderGirl2010were just talking about this morning. Lumberton plain and simple abandoned the running game and they had no faith in it which is why they couldn't milk the clock like probably would've wanted to. They learned early in the first half that their running game was gonna get shut down.

Much rather play PNG, NED over lcm and l-town. Mid-county brings the fans, passion to every game and vice versa. 

PNG and Ned definitely bring the fans and the intensity and some time the hatred of being of long time foes. Hopefully we can schedule one of them for pre-district next season - but i doubt it, honestly.

I knew HH would win, but I definitely wasn't expecting this low but close score. 

Vidor vs. Tyler Chapel Hill.

Humble Turner Stadium 7 PM, Friday Nov. 12th.

here's some articles about the game last night.

Oh you were yelling at them to blitz huh? I’m pretty sure you were seated near me lol.

I was sitting across the row by the reserved section on the scoreboard side. Man, I was yelling at them to blitz ALL GAME. Maybe they heard my annoying a**, but it worked out when they finally dialed it up.🤷🏻‍♂️

Wow! Visor was down 20??

Yup, got down by 20 early in the third quarter.

Man what a ball game! Lumberton miss a PAT?

Right when they missed that PAT, i told everyone around me that it was gonna haunt them later in the game, and it did. Those XP's matter more than you think.

I was a lil jelly but now I’m glad we don’t have one… We got the crowd, the band and the guy over in section C row 7 seat 30 (that’s me) yelling at the coaches to throw the deep ball Pirates!

I honestly was surprised there wasn't more fans on Vidor's side, but those true fans showed up we stayed loud all game. You're yelling at them to throw the deep ball, and im yelling at them to blitz... team work makes the dream work from the bleacher creatures.😂

Would you rather hear that or Cherokee at PNG?🤪

Giving up in the 2nd quarter. Good thing the kids don't have that mentality 

this didn't age well.

Yea but they definitely got some usage out of it… damn train horn was blowing me away in the 1st and 2nd qtr. 

man, they blew the hell out of that thing in the first half, ill never understand how that is enjoyable to hear every game.

Very similar to the Silsbee game, not as high scoring. Better defense in this one but similar game flow. What a way to bookend the season.

eerily similar to the Silsbee game tonight, the defense stood up when it needed to the most. it was the cherry on top, and a story book ending to close out senior night this way.

that train horn didn't make a peep almost all second half. that's when i knew that momentum was shifting.

You are a miserable person. 

sheeesh, definitely miserable. they're definitely not friendly, they brought it tonight, we just finished it. they will be a problem for Lindale next week.

Pirates had double digit come back wins against two hardin county teams in one season. hate to see it.

all joking aside, those two games were instant classics in my book.

the pirates gave em 48 minutes of hell tonight.

but lumberton is legit, when we finally sent some pressure on their QB it definitely had him rattled and threw off his timing with his receivers. I literally screamed all game to send some pressure and when we did, it helped shift the momentum.
