Raider42

Way to go Jordan!  Need to see if we can get coaches to take a couple of you to the Texas relays. . . Biggest meet to get some college attention. .

[quote name="C O Wilson Bullpups" post="1317165" timestamp="1351890216"] [quote author=Raider42 link=topic=105306.msg1317000#msg1317000 date=1351877608] To set the record straight Drew Manley never played QB for the kids who are seniors until this year, our QB was Josh Mason in middle school and as freshman. We absolutely were undefeated in middle school with Mason as QB, however we didn't play CO Wilson due to the hurricane. We were very successful as freshman and our team ha been picked apart since. Lumberton does have one middle school because we are much smaller, as we have a graduating class of 240 this year. I am simply saying that there are some really good athletes on this team that are not being played to their potential and I have a hard time believing that anyone who has seen a game could argue that we have play calling issues. [/quote] Lucky for you for CO Wilson was undefeated that year also [/quote]I knew that... those boys played each other every year in youth football.  It was always a battle and both teams had respect for the other.  I expect Ned to make a big run deep in the playoffs.... They have tons of talent.

I absolutely agree with you brubaker that after beating LaMarque we looked like we were on to something.  The difference is that during those years we had a core group of plays that were going to be run every single game.... then we would have other plays that were added for the opponent of that week.  We only had one week that we scored more that 2 touchdowns and we have yet to run most of the plays that were successful since that week.... that was week 1 of district.  Losing 7 coaches this year has been tougher to deal with than anyone expected. I don't envy the spot Credeur is in.  It will not be any easier next year.  They have no returning ball handlers ...(except Manley) .. Scoring will be tough. I will still be there rooting them on because I'm a Raider!!!

[quote name="ballup" post="1314409" timestamp="1351577354"] Hope Nederland don't come in counting a victory to early. And let Lumberton come away with it's first win of the season. [/quote]Nederland can count on a victory!!!! We  WILL run plays that don't make sense, you WILL see players on the sideline that need to be on the field.... All of the fans that are there every single week have seen it over and over and over and over!!!  I expect the same for the last 2 games of this season.  I can't even express how disappointed i am for a group of boys who won a bunch of football games until they were on Varsity (undefeated in middle school and a very good Freshman year)... I am gonna bite my tongue and not say everything that I have wanted to say for a long time...Go out there and fight as hard as you can boys! 

[quote name="Bobby Boucher" post="1286427" timestamp="1348944612"] Dam...look at those penalties! That better get fixed! [/quote]Those refs were the worst I've ever seen.... but that does not excuse 2 personal fould on the same guy on our defense.... Thats just bone headed!!!

I expect Watson and Bourque to run all over the Jags.... Raiders get their first win at their improved house.

Garrett Bourque  from Lumberton 2 touchdowns on his first 3 touches 1st was 65 yard touchdown on a short pass ( play of the week on channel 12) 2nd was a 33 yard run ... Don't know yardage but had a very good district opener

Raiders beat "the hill" by 2 scores... BH fans are silent for next 2 weeks

Raiders by 2 scores.... Raiders will open up and score 25 at "the hill"...Time to let our QB earn his stripes.  Go get em boys!!!

It's gonna be a hard hitting battle ... just like it has been from the first meeting.  Hope our offense corrects the mistakes and gets some momentum to carry in to district play.  Go Raiders  !!!

[quote name="tupac7" post="1259133" timestamp="1346631862"] I don't care who you play...if you hold some team to 27 total yards then the whole defense needs to be recognized. [/quote]BH didn't hold their opponent to 27 yards..... so i'm not sure where you saw that???

Raiders 27 -  Pats 13.........  Beginning of a much improved Raider season...  GCM will get out-played ALL NIGHT LONG.

From what I saw in the GCM scrimages.... you guys are crazy if you think they will beat Lumberton by some huge margin (60-0 or 35-7)... "Sure would be nice for the Raiders to go get a victory and then maybe we could get support from some of our own fans" (he said in his most sarcastic voice)... Its too early in the season to be so negative!!  Prove em wrong boys..GO RAIDERS!!

Guess we will find out for sure on Thursday,  I hope GCM keeps thinkin those Raiddrs are gonna lay down. . . Not this bunch.

20-4a will see how good they are tonight right?  LCM?

I will be the first to say that BC better look out cause the Train is comin... Its a new version of the Raider offense that we all remember from playoff years.. bruiser backs and some speed mixed in.  I'm gonna say this Raider team is gonna surprise a lot of people ......starting tonight!!

From how they looked in 7 on 7.... i would say that they will be starting one of the Juniors...The younger QB is not ready for Varsity YET. May be a different story next year though

I am looking forward to the village creek rivalry this year...watched Silsbee and Lumberton in several 7 on 7 games and it sure seemed like some of those boys didn't like each other much.  that's how most rivalry games go.  Ready for Friday Night Lights!

I hate that we lost them... well most of them..lol. 

I sure hate all of the coaches that have left the program recently....Hopefully they will fill those positions with coaches that are excited to teach and grow young men.... We need some excited coaches!!!  We will surprise some people.  August can't get here soon enough.

[quote name="raideroldtimer" post="1213854" timestamp="1335139268"] Lumberton's not going to do a thing............ ;) [/quote]Nice school spirit. . Season has yet to start and you have already complained about our coaching, play calling , and now written season off all together.  would it kill you to just say nothing instead of all of the negative.  I hope our boys make you eat your words.  Go work hard this offseason and prove em wrong Raiders!

Regionals should be exciting.... 20-4a just had 3 guys go under 40 in the 300s... can't wait to see that race.

Lumberton has success all the way through middle school and most years through 9th grade..... for some reason we have a large number of kids that quit football after their freshman year because they think that they need to concentrate on a single sport and that they will make it to the next level... For most high school athletes the next level is just not an attainable goal.  Our numbers are terrible and that is one of the biggest factors that makes it hard to compete in a district that has schools the size of PNG , Ned , Central ..... for whatever reason our kids just don't stick with it.  I wish they did though.  I still will be there on Friday night pulling for the boys in Blue!!!

No doubt that Brown is on another level... he was cruising to a 14.5 and 39.8 today.... no telling what he will run in finals on Wednesday.  He is fun to watch!
