Now that everyone has completed pre-district, with the exception of LCM, who has 1 game vs Spring Legacy, what are everyone’s thoughts? Seeding will be imperative in the 1st round!! 

After watching both games last year and this year, here is what I personally know from the film and both games. Lumberton was better last year due to O-Line and Secondary play. Tatum was better last year due to their D-Line play. Last years game was a barn burner due to the on field temp of 140-150F on the turf @ 1300 in Lufkin. Both teams were gassed. That equalized the game because no coach conditions their team like 10-15 yrs ago.Everyone talked crap on Lumberton about not blowing Tatum out because of classification. Non of it has a bearing moving forward in all actuality! Good luck to Tatum the rest of the way. All tonight did was help us prepare for Vidor and their offense. Hopefully they don’t hit us over & over with the pass to the TE or bubble out of the backfield like years ago when Dubois was their OC!

And I admit we don’t have the depth we should for a 4A-d1 team. That’s why we’ve suffered the last 4 weeks!

And we won't be close to 4A D2 lol. We are outmatched in the trenches. It's killing us. Last year we had Fite and Welch up front and it made a huge difference. We gotta find some life offensively. Best of luck to yall in 2nd half. 

I agree with ya. If y’all were a spread team, y’all would have much better luck tonight. We have 3 D1 players on our D-Front. All 6’3” plus.

3/4 teams they played may be 4-0 but how good are the other teams that those 4-0 teams played? Legacy is a good team… Palestine is 2-2 and based off their scores an average team and they smoked Livingston. I think Lumberton is still the favorite and the rest is wide open other than Splendora.

I agree. District is weak. We’ve had a lot of key injuries to start the season. Limited action the last 2 weeks getting into game shape for district play. Lumberton maybe the 2nd or 3rd largest team in the district, but we still lack depth for a school our size. When key players are out, it hurts us more than most. Not an excuse, just saying. I am a realist!

Tatum is 3A. Yall are nearly 5A. 

Lumberton will not be 5A next alignment either

L-Town defensive strength is the front. Weakness is secondary! Tatum plays to our strengths not our weakness
