Livingston Lions 5-2 (2-0)

Vidor Pirates 3-2 (1-1)

Livingston has district wins over Splendora and Lumberton. Meanwhile, the Pirates have a district loss to Splendora with a win over LC-M.

thoughts?

I was thinking that last night about them. LC-M's offense has too much potential to just call screen passes and QB reads all night, it seemed like that's all they ran except for maybe a 5 yard zip on a hitch route or a simple go route towards the end when the game was basically over. I think if they ran a multiple set offense, similar to what Nederland runs and it would suit those kids better and give them a better shot at winning ball games. But what do I know, I'm just a fan of the game and being a armchair coach this morning.🥴

Held LCM to just 11 yards rushing and 163 total yards. Pirates didn't turn the ball over and had 65 yards of penalties and I think 5 of those yards were on a hold in the second half on a 2pt conversion. Vidor finally played a complete game in my eyes. Still gotta clean up the kicking game though! lol

definitely can't win ball games when you turn it over that much.

game article from the Orange Leader.

Gonna see if I can find some stats on this game and I'll try and post them when I find them either tonight or in the morning.

#23 took it to the house, we were missing him in a big way last week.

We really were, and that's what my bro in law was telling me last week with #23 being out. He looked great tonight also and little small #7 got some great yardage too.

I predicted 42-13... I was pretty close. I had a feeling it was gonna be HH by 20+

Little #1 with the decleater hit too. Did you see that?

he laid the boom on that kid, he had the whole crowd hyped after that hit.

That long TD pass was a thing of beauty, especially throwing it across his body. I was being greedy and wanting more all game after I seen that first one! lol

Great win tonight, offense looked great and was balanced all night feeding it to all the backs and didn't have a single turnover all game. All LCM had tonight was the screens to the flats or run sweeps to the edge. Pirates looked good in every phase of the game tonight.

#55 is a junior but I haven't heard of any offers yet but Kilgore College has shown interest in him.

I have a feeling the Pirates will be fired up to play tonight. Homecoming night and great football weather against a cross county rival underneath the lights, it's a beautiful mixture.

Go Pirates!

Silsbee or Lumberton?

dang, i'm out of reacts.😂

every prediction I've seen today has HH by 20+ 

I'll be in attendance for this one. Surprisingly there were tickets still available (earlier) today considering it's homecoming.

 I wish Vidor would move some 2nd or 3rd string  RBs to receiver . We could even use some JV RBs as receivers but as of now the only chance of catching a pass is if the QB throws it hard enough for the ball to stick in their facemask.

idk why, this is the image that popped up in my head reading your comment. 😂

Yeah, everybody else has injuries and/or grades that take out key athletes too. How you adapt to those losses is key. I’d like to see Jeff and his boys get back in the mix. I’m sure they will too. But right now, they’re tied for last place. 

I'm curious to see how this team responds to this adversity as well and there's only two ways it can go and Friday will tell alot about them.

You're right! With more practice the players who are filling in should only get better. I just hope that is soon. They have played this system forever. It's just about getting in sink with one another.

I think so too. Kids know this system very well, it's all gonna come down to kids who wanna step up and fill their roles. 

Im still optimistic, hopefully we can shake these injury bugs out early and can finish district out strong. Vidor is still heavily in the mix of things. 

Good article about this week's game, Coach Crouch gives the Pirates some high praise.

I think last team with the ball wins this game, but I'm taking Nederland, 42-38.

I think the Pirates will be much better prepared this week, cause that Splendora game was a punch in the mouth and I hope they go back under center more with the Slot T and keep that LCM d-line guessing, especially if key starters aren't coming back. Hopefully #55 comes back this week also, like he said he was. But he was still limping and walking around in his boot when he was hanging around the house this weekend.

Man did you guys see that Silsbee lost their game bad and lost their cool bad. Looks like they took a worse loss than Vidor, yes I hope AAW sees this. Got smoked on the field and still showed their class.

Prime example, don't throw stones when you live in a glass house. It all came out tonight and showed it.
