    Young bulls mad. Somebody getting their arse kicked next yr. Lol 

    Yup, I can totally agree with you and see that happening. They need to play with that same intensity they play against Lindale tonight, the whole season in 2021. Now, these kids realize that 4A isn't a cake walk and now what to expect since every team came for their head every game.

    All true. Lol.  I just wasn’t about to listen to that “Lumberton Mentality” comment. 

    I had to throw a little shade when I said that just in good fun. Vidor knew they were big underdogs, but I thought Vidor had a decent shot at beating this Lindale team and I know the players thought they could too. They gave Lindale all they wanted tonight, I can promise you that! lol

    My brother also played in that time frame. I still can't figure out how we were in that old 22-5A back then with West Brook, Central, LaPorte, Deer Park, Sterling & Lee. I think we got the raw end on those alignments because they all seemed twice our size. That was before they even had GCM & Ozen to take away from enrollments at the others. Our coach knew it and think that's why he stayed in the field house with his feet propped up on the desk smoking cigarettes ! The entire field house was a cloud of smoke back then and not the good kind.

    Yeah, Vidor really did get the raw in of that deal, those schools were so much bigger than us those years. My brother played varsity basketball during those 5A years in the mid 90's and didn't win one district basketball game his senior season! 🥴

    Like i said yall will be good next year. 

    I appreciate it MBG, your insight on Vidor games have been pretty spot on this year. We're losing a good bit of guys for next season especially on the defensive side, but I think this season was a punch in the mouth for the Pirates and realized how competitive 4A is and we'll be better for it in 2021, I think.

  5. Just got back from that beautiful scenic roof of beautiful east texas. Here's my take on the game tonight. Lindale was very good as expected. Their first drive they set the tone early with no huddles, quick passes, and heavy dose on with their RB #22. Vidor forced them to play our game which was run the clock and run the football, I was surprised at how hard our backs ran, probably the hardest I've seen them run all season. Pirates didn't get behind the chain too many times tonight and if they did, they were able to get 3rd/4th and manageable, and I think we gave Lindale a good scare pretty much all night til late in the 4th quarter. Defense looked good, and didn't give up too many big plays except #4 their WR who basically mossed two DBs and their #3 who was constantly open on slant routes. But the LBs and DBs, took the challenge and they were not afraid to come up, hit and make plays, they played physical tonight on rush plays. Besides a handful of plays, the secondary was decent at coverage, didn't give up long TD passes and kept almost everything in front of them. Defensive line, this unit is good every single week and tonight was no different. The first series with Lindale and their #4, they weren't scared to run between the tackles and he ran HARD. But the D-line and LBs held that dude in check most of the game. That kid is a hard runner but the Pirate defenders handled him we and wrapped up so he didn't get many YAC (yards after contact). I think the longest run may have been just 25 yards?! But after the game my nephew Jordan told me that Lindale was quickest offense that he's facesd since he's been on varsity. He was very pleased on how they contained the Baylor commit RB, he said that their RB only had 50 yard rushing at halftime and thinks only had 90 yards total at the end of the game. (I'll try and find the accurate total later) But anyways, I am more than proud of how the Pirates came and competed tonight, and Vidor gave them all they wanted and gave them some  good scares til mid of the 4th quarter. Great season Pirates, yall played with hell of a lot of heart and left it all on the field. As a fan, it's all I can ask for. Already can't wait til next season, especially since it'll be my nephew's last year! If BYB, doesn't do scoring updates, I guess I'll be the one to take over.😉

     

    Go Pirates! 🏴‍☠️

  6. I remember those years especially the early to mid to 90s in 5A when my brothers were in school and played. We were the whipping boys for everyone, and our best player was the place kicker! 😂 I still vividly remember one of my first Friday night games I went to, when we got blown out by West Brook and Chip Ambres 50-0. But during those rough years, Vidor fans always supported their teams!

    We are 9-1.........I was the 1. Games have been pretty hard to come by this year. Good luck. I think its gonna be a long night trying to get that rb on the ground.  You got to punish him.......over and over. 

    I know how that is, I've only been able to make two games this season. I have a good feeling we can punish him up front, but him getting to the edge and to the outside is what scares me. Our secondary is gonna have to come up and make plays if we want a chance to win and stop their workhorse of a RB. But thanks for the luck, good luck to your Buckeyes as well!

    As I said earlier, wonder if Lindale has faced a Slot T team this year?   If not, it’ll help Vidor, and heaven knows the Pirates need ever little advantage they can get.

    That's what I've been wondering myself, but I'll try and look more into it today, I seen they got alot of their games on YouTube from this season.

    That method no longer works like it did 20 years ago. The slot-t's novelty has worn off and with it the element of surprise

    You're probably right, but I think being a heavy underdog in this matchup, Vidor needs every advantage they can to have a chance. Plus, since Vidor ditched the pistol and gone back under center, we've had alot more success moving the ball the last 2 games. So, the novelty of surprise isn't totally gone yet, especially if Lindale hasn't faced us yet.
