Coach Mike

Great job North, very proud of all the players and coaches and parents for a good season against some tough competition…Good luck to everyone in the Super Bowls tomorrow.

OMG

​I don't usually say much on this venue, but I have to congratulate the Lumberton Senior Blue on an awesome season. We had a very difficult schedule, (just look it up) and we have fought hard through it to be Co-Champs of Big School Division I Co-Champions with PNG White. Good luck to everyone in the playoffs and as this season has already proved, ANYTHING can happen!!!! IM HAPPY. GO BLUE!!!!!!

Lumberton Blue 8, Vidor 7….Great defensive game… Vidor is a very good team with good coaching. It was a slugfest. Proud of Raider Blue!

Just for the record, Brady IS a stand-up guy and just because he is loyal he sometimes takes a beating. But no one should question his true feelings for the kids of southeast Texas. Especially the ones from Kountze that give it their all every game knowing that it is going to be an uphill battle. Just saying….

​Looks like we have a lot of talent and "talk" this year. Good Luck to all the senior teams, its gonna be interesting…..…Go Blue!!!

GREAT JOB PIRATES, great season, great players and great coaching. We could not quite put it all together against a very good Carrollton team, but finishing runner-up in the 12U Division Isn't too bad. Im am totally proud of our players, coaches and FANS. I think Vidor, Lumberton Blue and Little Cypress represented the STJFL pretty well.

[b][i]My thanks go out to a great bunch of players and coaches. No matter what happens at the State Playoff in San Antonio this Saturday, I can say that it has been one heck of a ride. I am so proud of what these guys have accomplished and more proud of the manner in which they accomplished it. I will never forget this Special Season and all that these young men have accomplished. We have taken the STJFL to a whole new level and we hope that others will choose to take it even further in the future. I would like to thank everyone involved with the STJFL for holding this great league together for all the RIGHT reasons, especially President James Kersh and we hope that you all pray for our best efforts in San Antonio this Saturday night in our quest to bring the State Championship home to Lumberton Texas and the STJFL. Sincerely, Thanks to My Coaching Staff and the "Terrible Twenty" Coach Mike, Head Coach, Lumberton Senior Blue, South Texas USA Football Champions President, Lumberton Youth Football & Cheerleading, Inc.[/i][/b]

Thanks Brady, we have been blessed this year with a story book season. Our thoughts were with you guys back home also. Next year is just around the corner and everybody has the chance to re-load. Aren't we lucky to live in a country that allows us to play football... God bless America and on the 8th day, God created FOOTBALL.

[b][i]Great Job Bears, you guys have NOTHING to drop your heads about. We were there with you watching and supporting. Good job of representing the STJFL and your Association. Never stop wanting more.[/i][/b]

[i]Great job Vidor, we were there with you and saw an awesome game. Great representation of our the STJFL and Vidor Association. Good Luck in San Antonio. [/i]

Well as usual there seems to be some confusion in these threads and maybe some hurt feelings. I would like to put the issue to sleep if possible. We already know that PNG Purple is a No. 2 seed. And in accordance with the seeding process, they are automatically awarded the home team sideline in their game. Although I agree with the seeding process and how it has been handled in the past, myself, my coaching staff and of course our players don’t want to take anything away from Port Neches White except a victory. For the record, Lumberton Senior Blue took a team vote tonight to allow PNG White to stand on any sideline they want. We just want to play FOOTBALL Mike Minton, Head Coach, Lumberton Senior Blue President, Lumberton Youth Football & Cheerleading

Its has been a great season with a lot of surprises. Im proud of the ability of coaches to make the corrections necessary to get back into the hunt. I wish everyone the very best and congratulations of making it to the playoffs. I also want to thank the leadership of the STJFL for doing what was necessary to hold this great association together. I hope those that wanted to split the STJFL have found the confidence in our leadership to see that we are only working for a greater cause in the future and have laid out the plans for that to happen. There will always be issues and problems, but with a secure leadership, all things are possible. I am speaking as a charter member of this association and I am proud to have served 14 years in the process. Lets all support all our associations as we move into the playoff rounds and most importantly, lets pray that we all come out of this with our health and pride that we started with. Good Luck to Everyone. Just for the record, I want to thank all the cheerleaders of our STJFL Association. I am the very worst of not paying attention to these great girls because I am so focused on the field, but they have done a great job this year at all of our games. THANK YOU GIRLS and good luck at the Cheerleader Competition. My best wishes are with you all. Head Coach Mike Minton Lumberton Senior Blue Rockin Raiders President, Lumberton Youth Football & Cheerleaders, Inc.

Just for the record, we arent a one man show. The "Beast" only ran 1 offensive play last Saturday. In addition, we had 16 different backs run the football at least once during the game which was only 3 quarters long. If you have any doubts about our speed, you haven't played us yet. Good Luck to Everyone Saturday.

Thanks Bearhawk, right back at you. You guys were one of the toughest teams we faced this year. Well coached, and great bunch of young men. We hope to see you again. Congratulations to all the Division II teams who eliminated all the Division I teams. We knew it all along.
