I was there. We turned the ball over a few times. The most frustrating was an interception in the end zone where our receiver quit running the route. Had that not happened, Livingston goes up by 21 and the game is basically a wrap. Orangefield also recovered an inside kick that led to their last drive.
It was a sloppy game. It shouldn't have been close. Hats off to the Bobcats for fighting back. I think that was their first game of the season and they were still dealing with Laura.
I will always wonder what would have happened if they had played for OT instead of the win? The Bobcats had the ball for 20 of the 24 minutes in the second half and our defense was gassed. 
 

If you want some audio with that, KETX 102.3 FM in Livingston will also be broadcasting

Under UIL rule 18, Section D, Sub-Section 12, it States, if it’s a Homecoming game you’re allowed up to 75% capacity if you don’t tell anyone.   🤣

They do have the mask police. I kept a handful of peanuts in my hand when they came by. We were 20’ from anyone, so no reason to wear one, but always put one on going through the gate or to the restrooms. They left me alone finally cuz I was eating or drinking during their raids in the stands.

Is he similar to the Brazosport QB? I know the Pirates kept LB on him for a QB spy on him to try and contain him and worked somewhat well doing so. I would imagine Livingston's QB has a much better arm considering he's a baseball prospect and I think he'll give us alot more fits than Brazosports QB.

Vidor has always had community support even during the lean years before Mathews became HC. We made the playoffs once in 2000 before he switched to the Slot-T in 2008 (I think) and fit it around the kids that participates and he implemented all the way down to the junior high level to learn the system as well. Since then, the Pirates have made it to the playoffs 5 times since 2009. He also bases playing time on who shows up during summer for workouts. Imo, without him, we wouldn't have the "hot box" indoor facility, the turf field, new restrooms, and video scoreboard. That's all because him getting the school board and boosters standing by and supporting him and all of it came without a bond. Plus, he's a great Christian coach and loves each one of his kids in all athletic sports in Vidor all the way down to the peewee leagues. Just my opinion...

He’s not good at passing under pressure from what I saw. If you can get some pass rush on him and contain his scrambling for positive yards, then you will be much better off. 

Didn’t see him do any running, just rollout passing.  Does have a good arm.  Deal is, what I saw were Hudl “Recaps”, which are only the good plays.   They don’t show the over/under throws than no one could catch. Pretty good RB, but as I remember, only one good run on the film.  The QB will be hard to sack, but if Vidor can keep him from getting outside, it might mess with his head.   Orangefield held them to 21.  If Vidor holds them to 21, Vidor should win (he posted with fingers crossed 😄).

I was the ball boy for the 2000 season, the year the Pirates made the playoffs for the first time in like 36 years. I graduated in 2005 myself and my sister graduated in 2001 and was the athletic trainer that same season. That was such a fun year!

Oh cool I was CO2K, that 99 team would have been good but they had a stud running back named David Bossa who missed most of the season with an arm infection. He balled out for the first few games then came back in the final game and tore it up again.

GO AN TAKE IT PIRATES!! 🇺🇸🏴‍☠️☠️

No doubt Livingston is the biggest surprise of the year, at least in this area.   Regardless of winning or losing the Vidor game, they’ll be playoff bound.   Big congrats to the team and fans.

GO PIRATES!!!!!

HH has Splendora this week.  Not sure about HH, but to Splendora, this is a grudge match.  Then HH ends with Vidor & Livingston.   Their 3 toughest games.  It’s going to be interesting the next 2 and a half weeks.

I love my Pirates regardless of their win-loss record!

I don't like making score predictions for my own teams for some odd reason like it's a bad omen...lol but I feel that if the Pirates can move the ball, limit mistakes and turnovers, this is their game to win. The defense will hold its own barring injuries coming into the game. But I like our chances even though Livingston is gonna come in with a target on our back and they aren't gonna back down.

I graduated in 99 and remember the not so good teams. Mathews has put his heart and soul in to this program and these kids.

I’m thankful to the Vidor fans for coming out strong this season to support our Seniors. Even if it is only on the board here, it’s my last to be heavily involved. We won’t be nearly as invested next year but I will always follow the Pirates. I was coached by Jeff Mathews in his first year as head coach and now he leads my son’s last season. I still think Vidor will win this game and finish the season strong. We had a huge letdown against Splendora that never should have happened but I think you will see something special build for us the rest of the way. I believe in these boys, they are some of the best. 28-14 Vidor

I got to tell you! Reading these discussions everyday is one of the highlights of my day! Now that sad fact aside. I am taking Vidor in this one just as I said earlier in the week 26-21. We miss two extra points and still win. Just like Nostradamus and most of these far-fetched predictions I made this scenario up totally in my head!

When moody first came more kids came out including multiple transfers from west orange oddly enough we had 4 of which were "qbs".... Id expect a similar turnout with a new coach new ideas new system.... i completely agree with this... even when crouch first started community and player turnout was better. Now? Slowly declining every year... the picture seems clear to me here.
