I like what I see in the stats. Central had 255 yards on 46 plays, with 122 of that coming on 3 plays. I like those numbers for the Lee defense. Actually, I love those numbers against a running team like Central. I think Central had about 500 yards of offense on us last year. Lee had 254 yards on 55 plays. I think Lee had 150 yards last year against Central.

Well kg, it's a long time til district. Last year, Central ran roughshod over Lee and Lee won district, so let's not start counting those chickens yet. Lee was again without Michael Mahan, second team all district wide receiver it sounds like. Hopefully he comes back soon from his broken jaw. I have absolutely zero worry about Lee's offense. Once district rolls around, they will gel just like they always do. Backwhen Drew Tate was qb'n, Lee would start the year off 1-4 every year, then go two rounds deep into the playoffs. The precision offense takes a little while longer to get rolling on all cylinders, particularly tough in the wet, muddy field.

Thanks for the recap. Sounds like Central has a good squad again this year.

I'm actually looking forward to hearing it bmt soulja. Since I havent been able to see Lee play in 8 months, I will take any morsel I can get.

If we lost the qb then we're in a whole world of hurt. The running back going down isn't too good of a deal either. That's the two key players. That's pretty much the case with a lot of teams though on injuries. They should just sit Jarvis out til district if he's hurt.

Duid you see the Humble and Ike stats? Sometimes you have to look past the scoreboard in these meaningless games and see if maybe someone got lucky. Ike had about 500 yards of offense to Humble's 200. Humble was lucky to get the win from what I can gather. wbfan09. What are you trying to say about Central dominating?

I'll need to see the stats, but this is a much better showing than lee had last year against Central fronm the sounds of it. Central DOMINATED Lee last year. Something like 450 total yards to 160 total yards. Lee went on to tie for district. This is a game that I was concerned with, because Lee takes a few games to get the offense running smoothly. Central brings a lot of pressure on defense. Then, you factor in the rain. Then, you factor in that Lee had to go back on a Saturday. I'm not too concenred with how this one played out. I was afraid of a 42-7 showing like what it should have been last year.

Twenty points isn't actually that bad compared to last year, when Central really should have sacored about 45-50. I can't tell you wht the problem is from my office chair here in Houston lol I was more concerned with Central rolling through Lee like nobody's business. If Lee held them down to 3 scores, without the benefit of a bunch of turnovers, then I'm satisfied. The offense will be just fine.

Not the update I was looking for!

Man it's no fun having to watch the Internet and hope for a good score to pop up in the next message lol

I don't thinkt he band or drill teams went today, so there couldn't have been too long of a halftime.

thanks for the updates

bruins look tough

I'm all about the safety too. Trust me when I say I wouldn't want the kids to play in a dangerous situation. N

If you go back and read what I wrote, then realize that 85% of what I say on a messageboard, I say with a sarcastic tone, then it will all make more sense to you. The second thing you have to remember about me is that I'm stubborn and enjoy arguing. Did something fishy happen last night? Of course it did. Is it going to kill them to go back today and play? Nahhh

As I said on the other board that I frequent.... “When we have (lightning) hits between three to eight miles away on our static electricity meter, we have to postpone the game 30 minutes,†said Central High head trainer Jacob Pfaff, who along with Lee head trainer Amy Newell was the center of attention this night. So you have to suspend play for 30 minutes if the lightning is within 8 miles this states. Everyone agree that's what he's saying? “At the end, my lightning detector was going crazy, showing lightning zero to three miles away. Baytown Lee’s detector was going crazy, too, showing zero to three miles. So at the end the lightning was within 3 miles? We can all agree this is what's being said here? Now, here comes the juicy part... A quick search of google maps shows that Zaharias is less than 5 miles from Cardinal Stadium. How is it mathematically possible to be within 3 miles of Zaharias and not within 8 miles of Cardinal Stadium? I'll answer for you. It's not possible. Something fishy was going on. I don't know who was to blame, but the game could have been played last night. Maybe it was Lee that didn't want to play. Who knows? They will play today though, and I guess in the end that's all that matters.

I heard the game is going to be free today? That's not much of a source I got that from though. Beaumont certainly got my 6 dollars with their fake lightning. I'm going to send my ticket to them in the mail, with a SASE and see if they send me my money back. lol

You're not following my premise. They were able to predict when the (ALLEGED) "lightning" would quit because there was no lightning. The (MADE UP) "lightning" was all a ploy to keep Lee in that dressing room for an extended period of time and get them complacent and not interested in the game. Only to have the fake, made up lightning move out just in time for Central to come roaring out of the locker room. Drake, I wouldn't put ANYTHING past them over there. I'm being about 70% sarcastic when I claim they were trying to ice Lee, but there has to be a reason that the fake lightning ploy was being used. Trying to ice Lee is the best reason I could come up with.

Been counting the minutes for 8 months for Lee football to start, now this.... Gotta work the day of their first game. I'll be checking this site for some updates, don't let me down guys... gnite

lol It should be a good game. Central did look tough. Fortunately for them, they knew since 7:00 when the "lightning" would stop lol Lee had no idea when mother nature would decide to stop the lightning. Central though? They knew to be ready at the locker room door at precisely 8:58, because then and only then would the "lightning" have stopped. What do you know? The "lightning" had stopped right on cue. If they have near as much precision and timing on the field as they do with the "lightning" shenanigans, they are going to be tough.

Tell me why they didn't play then. We can rule out lightning, because there was no lightning. You really think olin was sending up reports to the pa announcer to get him to say another 30 minute delay every 15 minutes? Olin doesn't have that kind of pull. I doubt seriously that Lee would want to drive all the way out there again anyways. It makes no sense for Lee to not want to play last night. Lee has played in rain plenty of times. Give me a good reason why the game was not played.

I can see it now. Clear skies, not a cloud to be seen. No rain in a 150 mile radius, yet Beaumont Central's meterologist keeps getting some random lightning strikes in the danger radius....just long enough for Lee to get stiff and disinterested in that locker room....Then bam, right on cue, it's game time, Jaguars coming running out of the locker room ready to roll.... Let me know if that's how it goes tomorrow(for the second day in a row) yeoj

And we just got the turf last year lol don't try to play this like some kinda uppity white collar team against some down in the dirt, gritty, blue collar team. Both teams can play in any condition you want to throw at them. I just wish the Beaumont officials had let them play last night.

The stands are aluminum, which is pertinent to my point. I wouldn't be sitting on them if I felt in danger from lightning. The field house is small. too small for the Lee team to really fit in there, hence them milling around out by the buses. I'm not trying to belittle what Central has. I'm just stating facts as they relate to what I felt was Central trying to play the stall game. Why was Central right there at the door ready, knowing the delay was almost over lol You telling me they were standing there for the 90 minutes right there at the door? Don't think so. It all seemed too convenient to me. Lee has no problem playing in the rain. Lee's running game will be uop there with the best in the Houston area this year. I doubt seriously Olin has the pull to make the game be delayed because of wet conditions lol

That's what I'm saying man. The closer I got to Baytown, the worse it got. I wouldnt have been sittin in those aluminum stands if I felt in harm's way. I kid you not. I did not see a SINGLE bolt of lightning for the two hours I was sitting in those stands. I would have quickly moved my happy ass under the bleachers if I did. I don't know what radar they were using that was picking up lightning strikes, but it must be a different radar than the one West Brook used 5 minutes up the road there. If they are waiting for a 4 hour period of time where not a single bolt of lightning is going to strike any where within a 50 mile radius, let's just go ahead and cancel the season. It's a wonder they ever get any games in with those strict regulations they used last night.
