I wish we were in the same district. Playing teams with championship pedigree only makes you better. The best we can do right now is schedule teams like that in none district. BU and WB are top notch programs. Lufkin still trying to climb that hill. Made it to the 4th round in 2021 before losing to Kimball. Haven't been that close since. We'll see how things go this year.

Walnut Grove was a well coached team. They gave Lufkin everything they had. I figured this would be a hard fought game. Lufkin doesn't really face any competition in district. Have won it 5 years straight. It's one of the reason the none district schedule was so hard this year. The team cruises through none district. Blowing teams out by 20 points. Then has to adjust back to playing better competition. Winning in the playoffs has been the Achilles hill for the program. I think they will be ok after tonight. At least I hope so. Lol

I'd love to see it. We still have to get over the hump. Hope this the year we can stack some playoffs wins.

Not gonna argue over if Lufkin is better than BU. I have too much respect for what that program has done over the years. I will say Lufkin is no slouch and is deserving of being ranked in the top 10. Lufkin has played about as hard of a schedule as anyone else. Lufkin has wins over 6A #10 North Shore 6A #11 Kein Oak 6A #20 Grand Oaks. Lufkin also beat 6A #1 Katy Seven Lakes during summer league. With losses to Nationally ranked Utah Timpview, Utah Corner Canyon, Owasso(OK) and Little Elm. So the team has been tested. The biggest hurdle will be playoff experience beyond the 2nd round.

Looked all over the NFHS site a still couldn’t find the link.

Lufkin will have a stream at this site and I believe PAM ISD will too. I would suggest checking out the Lufkin stream for some over the top humor with our guys that call the game. You will either love it or hate it. But it will be anything than boring. [Hidden Content]

The eye test says they are better. Especially on the defensive side.

I agree 100% I think this game is a bigger challenge than Longview in week 1.

There’s only one way I see Lufkin winning this game. We would have to turn it into defensive slugfest. Our offense is too inconsistent to win a shootout. Especially going up against a defense as good as PAM. Lufkin offense is too dependent on the run and has trouble stretching the field. We couldn’t run on PAM last year. And we don’t have our stud WR to bail us out this year. The coaches have scouted Lufkin and know all they need to do is stack the box and make the Qb complete passes. One thing I’m confident about is our defense. I’d be surprised if they don’t show up ready to play. It will be a physical game. Just not sure our offense will do enough to keep our defense off the field all game.
