I didn't think he was ejected either. He got flagged for shoving the other guy but when he walked away, the LC-M player hit him in the helmet and he was tossed. The ref made the signal for Personal Foul against Nederland. Then he made the same signal and pointed toward LC-M and then gave the ejected signal. I figured it was offsetting Personal Fouls with the LC-M player being ejected for the blow to the head.

Tough call on that one. All of them have playoff consequences. WH and HD are both 2-0 in district however. Silsbee has two losses already. That is more like a survival game than a game for the playoffs. Silsbee and Kirbyville seems like a more interesting game to me but I think WH and HD need their day in the sun. Have they been GOTW yet?

It pretty much needs to be that one. Both teams are in the playoff hunt. The PN-G / Central game outcome will be interesting but has way less playoff implications.

Check this out for points on a tie-breaker: Lumberton beats LC-M but loses to Nederland. 5-2 with losses to PN-G and Nederland. Nederland loses to Dayton but beats Lumberton 5-2 with loses to PN-G and Dayton. Dayton beats Nederland but loses to PN-G. 5-2 with loses to Lumberton and PN-G. PN-G beats Dayton. The game with Central is meaningless because PN-G would end at 7-0 or 6-1 and either would win district outright. That leaves three teams tied at 5-2 for second and third place. Nederland beat Lumberton who beat Dayton who beat Nederland. No team beat both other teams that they tied with so no head-to-head. Then it goes to common points. Did I miss anything?

Comparing scores means nothing. If you want to do that, then PN-G beats Dayton since Lumberton beat Dayton and then PN-G beat Lumberton. It means nothing. Nederland put 28 on LC-M in the first half while giving up two turnovers and getting none in return. There were no cheap scores by Nederland. Turnovers are part of the game but LC-M's defense stopped nothing and Nederland killed the clock with almost 7 minutes left in the game. Don't let the 49 points vs 35 points fool you into anything. Nederland beat Vidor 28-7 but PN-G only beat Vidor 14-7. Hmmm... I guess Nederland beats PN-G then, right? Like I said, comparing scores is meaningless. Dayton might win the game but you can't tell that because they were able to put 49 on LC-M and Nederland only put 35 on them.

Frustration after a long season that didn't meet expectations.

On the last day of district all four teams will be facing one of the others. Nederland plays at Lumberton and PN-G plays at Dayton. It will likely come down to that day according to which teams win and maybe by how many points.

High school sports are not put on just for entertainment purposes but they can be very entertaining. By fans numbers, football is at the top of the heap. There are some high school sports that get very little coverage or fans. How big of a crowd does the swim team, golf team or power lifting team bring in? They still go ahead with the contests because that is the purpose.

No hatred. It is just that the over the top bravado is a lot of humor sometimes. It is funny that he is dogging Nederland out for making the playoffs sometimes in third place when his team hasn't made it to third place. If Lumberton gets to the playoffs and makes it as the third place team, I am wondering what Maverick's opinion of the third place playoff team will be.

Yelling in pain is not vocal entertainment.

Original?

I had serious thoughts of dropping in on the Nederland/LC-M game.

If testing athletes for drugs was violating someone's rights, it would been challenged and won long before now.

Please tell me that you are not over 18 years old.

This is the kind of game that make upsets a real possibilty. It won't happen though.

I think that would be a great option and probably more effective.

You think? "Probably" biased? LOL, that is one of the biggest understatements ever made in these forums.

I think the Tribe stays hot, as the Pirates head for the lower decks of their ship.

I thought it was Chance-Loeb High School or CLISD. I didn't think they split from Silsbee.

If Nederland and Lumberton win this week, it won't be decided until then.

Let's see, 11 straight years in the playoffs, and 15 years since a losing season. Let's see, this will make... one year in a row that Lumberton hasn't had a losing season. Yeah, I can see where a fan from a team that has never made the playoffs thinks that is a funny statement. :

LOL.. well, they won. Maybe he calls that a blowout.

Inquiring minds want to know.

I think that a majority of fans would like to see Lumberton get into the playoffs as long it is not at the expense of their team. I will bet that no PN-G fans would be willing to give up a playoff spot to Lumberton.

That pretty much sums it up. The top four still control their own playoff hopes.
