You must be smoking something. yea it may be possible to out smart him but his son will beat WB by himself. Flanigan is not that good of a coach, he got ran out Crosby so what makes his so smart all of a sudden!!! SMH

That's what happens when your only win is a forfeit...

I Don't think them losing their head coach will have any effect on the outcome of this one! A well coached team at this age can pretty much run themselves when the situation calls for it! It's gonna be weird now that all the smack has stopped!

I hope yall are right... I just know the head coach brings a lot out of them and pumps those kids up when needed.. Crazy when the kids get affected by grown ups egos.. BUT ANYWAYS.... It will be a great game Saturday!! CAN'T WAIT

Central 56
Lumberton 7

great kid, hope for a speedy recovery!!!

CV has by far the most explosive offense in this district, i have watch them several times and their offense is the real deal. Memorial will be alright, the best defense is when your offense is on the field. They need to slow the game tempo down and i no they like that no huddle stuff. They run the ball alot and with those two elite track stars in the backfield the can score fast from anywhere on the field!! So just huddle up and use the entire 40 second clock!! JMO

I'll be honest the only way vidor didn't get 60 hung on em was because of our ball control offense and those long drives we had.

oh I agree, but the D has to make stops and create turnovers. I'll say this: no one else has an overall offense as good as CV in this district, I expect them to at least hit 40+ in the rest of their ballgames.

Or both? Where are you raideroldtimer? Next week the raiders will face their first yeah I said it first relevant team of the year jag gone put it to dem boyz no matter how hard they keep comin

Let's not get carried away Lol

So to see what all the hype was about, I went and watched the BMT Sr and Lum Blue game. From the start it seemed that BMT was kinda going through the motions. The last play of the 1st half saw BMT run the ball on what looked like a off tackle play towards Lumberton side and then cut back towards the BMT side and scored a TD with time running out. I believe the score was 21-0 and on the opening kick off BMT kicked it on side and recovered from what I can remember. After that it was pretty much BMT could do whatever they wanted and they did. While watching the game I was trying to figure out what the BMT coaches are doing to make themselves the center of attention. I never saw them scream at a kid , when a kid missed a assignement they corrected him, and when a kid did hid job they gave him high fives. What I did see was missed tackles by lumberton, poor blocking, and poor kick off return. The Lumberton team stayed in and battled against the 2nd/3rd team of BMT and did score twice, I guess they considered that a small victory in itself. I did see a cop at this game for some reason ( i guess the STJFL figured the Lumerton fans needed protection), I also saw at least 10 different people recording this game,plus at halftime a lady from Lumberton left the lumberton side and came to the BMT side to record the second half of the game. The only problem was she had it on the coaches and BMT bench then entire 2nd half. So I can see why these BMT coaches are upset, they are doing what every other dad is out there doing and for some reason because they have a special group of kids someone wants them gone. I will ask this 1 question why is there a mercy rule at the SR level? The reason I ask is most of these  kids will hit Jr High next year were there is no mercy rule nor a daddy coaching them.So why not get them ready for that next level of football.

Bugatti its all going to work itself out, the man upstairs dont sleep. we all know its personal between the Lumberton president and the BMT coaches. matter of fact the Lumberton Sr coaches didnt file the complaint the president did while he was on the phone with BMT president before the game was even over!!! Our kids play Lumberton High the next two weeks, OZEN/CENTRAL, so lets see if the lumberton school board will file a complaint on them for not starting a premire player in the game in order to run up the score.LOL

You cant do it in basketball so how can you do it in football. Youre a daddy ball coach and thats why you dont play with any team out of Nederland because they dont care for you!!! Thats real talk, maybe chuck and brady can thank you for SETX Heat not having any players from the BMT area this year. Sorry brady but you need to get rid of that wanna be!!!

Glazer clinics are free to youth coaches and I attend several of them a year so to get better educated doesn't cost a penny. Sounds like you might be one of those coaches that should check one out. Just saying

You are  never going to settle anything regarding this topic on here.  There are disagreements of what the rules are, and what the rules should be.  There is also disagreement of what the punishment should be if a coach does anything wrong.  You name it, from rules, to proper investigation, to how they are interpreted and enforced are all up for debate.  Bottom line is I hate to see the coaches and league go through all of this.  Hopefully this will all be behind us soon.  I am ready for some fun poking and prodding on another subject.

Correction he was never suspended because he was never the head coach. Get your facts correct first pleae. So IF (and I do mean if because we have film too) he did violate the mercy rule he should get the same punishment the Nederland coaches did. In my opinion..

Man stop all the hating, if your son played on a team than you may can flap. You stirr more stuff up on this forum, theres a diffence when everyone knows who you are!!!

How is the league going to kick Coach Anderson out the league and he has NEVER been suspended?? Can somebody please make some sense out of that..

I personally, do not have a dog (pun intended) in this fight. However, I will say this:
 
Fact of the matter is, no one knows the whole story regarding this issue. Everything that is being said on this forum is opinions only. No one on this site was on the field and heard what each coach (from both sides) and the refs discussed. Not one person knows what the Nederland White Coaches were thinking regarding scoring that day, and that includes the STJFL Board.
 
Rules are put into place to ensure equal opportunity, not equal outcomes. If you are going to enforce an “ethics” rule, then do so in a clear and definite manner and across the board, none of this case by case baloney. Investigate better and make the rules less subjective.
 
This is football people; you win some, you lose some. These kids are upset no matter if the score is 60-0 or 39-0; a loss is a loss. All athletes (and parents for that matter) need to learn how to win and lose with dignity. On the playground, kids learn that organically (playing to 11 sometimes results in a score of 11-0).
 
 
The purpose of sport is to primarily teach kids life lessons about success and about failure. The failure lessons may in fact be more important than the successes. Everyone wants their child to succeed, its part of being a parent, however, protecting your child from difficult situations only delays lessons that are very necessary. Those parents who consistently prepare the path for the child by confronting teachers and coaches, changing teams, changing leagues and changing schools are making life-long losers out of their children. Kids will grow into adults and experience grumpy co-workers and mean bosses. Constantly insulating kids from difficult situations and consistently cleaning up the mess they create defeats the purpose of sport. Remember you are a parent. You are not a friend, a manager, or an agent. Your job is to help create a competent, capable adult, not a dysfunctional child.
 
I do not believe this coach intentionally or maliciously “ran the score up.” If he did, then shame on him, and he deserves the punishment given to him. Bottom line, quit judging these VOLUNTEERS( coaches and/or board members). All coaches can do is try to be as fair as possible, but telling kids not to score, hit, shoot, run fast or try hard comes with its own set of problems, not the least of which is potential injury partially caused by doing something different or playing "easier". So until all the facts are known, lets all keep our mouth shut and play some ball.
 
PS- Not everyone can afford to place their talented child on a select team; recreational may be their only option.

Dont really post so not looking for flappin award but just had a question? Why cant the 28 pt mercy rule stay like it is, then when there is a 40 pt lead the score board goes off, score is locked in at that point. Time still runs as normal allowing these 2nd and 3rd string kids to get playing time and try their best, as they want to get better also. To tell a kid  who is excited that he is finally getting to run the ball or a kid who intercepts a ball, to try not to score is ridiculous. Their parents paid money, those kids work hard at practice, they want to be able to tell friends and family they scored a TD. The ones who are more concerned about the score is the parents. Sorry but I think it looks worse to see the other team kneeling the ball on 1st down or running out of bounds on purpose to not score. Now everyone can tell me why this just wont work, lets hear it

I"M SORRY BECAUSE I LIKE FLAPPIN!!

When is your book signing? :). Dang.......
