I was told this is only the third time in school history Lumberton girls have made playoffs. Anyone else know if that's correct?

How did the standings for the JV and Freshman teams turn out for this year?

Now on to Livingston Friday.

There will be a tiebreaker game Friday at Hardin-Jefferson at 7 to determine who will take the 4th playoff spot. Or at least that was what I was told tonight at the game.

If they make the playoffs for the first time since 2008, then that will be a pretty darn good job. If not, still not bad in my humble opinion, considering how many players left the program the past few years. To be in the running is an exciting for the girls. All of the adults involved should be excited for the team, and try to see the good things that are going on there. The team does have ALOT of Seniors this year for the first time in years. Last year they finished with one senior on the team. The rest had quit. I don't think that there is any "quit" in this bunch.  Anyway, I wish them the best of luck. [/quote] Great post!  :) Those have been my thoughts on the year and Lumberton has some good talent moving up from what I've been told.

[quote name="dogpile" post="1172351" timestamp="1328408441"] Really?! uhmmm lets see.... if you do not mind the coach  --- you dont play! OLD SCHOOL - not rocket science people.  Maybe then they (who ever they are) will become a "Team" player and the coach will get respect from players and parents.  Coaches are there to "Coach" not make friends.  (fyi i was not at the game... just bored and saw this and could not believe someone would ask how to fix it) :P [/quote] That's the thing, the players do listen to the coach. From what I can tell Sportsman5 is talking about players making mistakes in games and that being a lack of discipline. I was asking what those problems were and how to fix them to see what Sportsman5 sees the problem as and then his solution.

Alright so you've established that you believe there is a lack of discipline. May I ask what there is to fix and how to go about fixing it?

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="1172082" timestamp="1328369960"] I've got a question. What has Nicki Goad done to deserve the mountain of criticism that she seems to get game in and game out.  She currently has her team tied for a playoff spot and I think if you look at the remaining schedule, I think you will agree that tie is likely to be broken in Lumberton's favor. [/quote]     There have been issues with Coach Goad not playing the seniors on the team so that has caused drama. The parents of the seniors have constantly bashed her for everything she does. I've noticed that when Lumberton loses people are quick to jump in and say she has no clue what she is doing but when they win people are speechless. In my opinion for her first year coaching varsity she is doing a pretty good job and if she gets the opportunity to stay and continue coaching she will be able to build a good program for Lumberton.

[quote name="Sportsman5" post="1171864" timestamp="1328326440"] Thats called  having no discpline!!! forcing up shots [/quote] Could you elaborate a little for us please? I'm not quite understanding you.

    Livingston won 43-38. From what I was told Lumberton played pretty sloppy and towards the end had a chance to run time off of the clock but instead kept trying to drive which lead to costly turnovers/fouls in Livingston's favor. Aside from that I heard only seven girls on the Lumberton team played tonight.     With the Livingston win tonight, a Lumberton win next Tuesday over Nederland at home, and a Livingston loss at Ozen there would be a need for a tiebreaker game between Lumberton and Livingston for the final playoff spot.

[quote name="vcbasketball15" post="1167465" timestamp="1327772787"] i thought lumberton was in contention for playoffs? thats not bad for a first year coach... [/quote] Right now Lumberton is in position to take the 4th playoff spot if they can win out against Nederland, PNG, and then Livingston who is the other contender in 5th place. Personally I think Coach Goad is doing a decent job for her first year coaching varsity. However, I believe there are things in which could be done better (utilize threes, press more, work on consistency between games) but in my opinion to completely trash her doesn't seem right.

Central won 71-57

Lumberton took it 49-38 which puts them in forth place in district following Ozen, Central, and Vidor.  :)

I couldn't be there so I'm getting updates from a friend. Heard Lumberton isn't playing a very good game. Especially compared to how they played against Livingston on Tuesday.

28-24 Lumberton at the half

I heard they played pretty sluggish for a majority of the game but I guess a W is a W.
