AggiesAreWe Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 Oh yeah that was TJ Lights group correct? Forgot about them, incredible defense that year. Think they were 7-3 though cause they took three to the playoffs that year and they missed out. I could be wrong on the 7-3 though. 8-2 Quote
Hornet71 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 Kevin Johnson went 8-2. http://texashighschoolfootballhistory.com/season_records___l.htmlKevin is also a former Hornet if I'm not mistaken. Quote
JeremyRoberts Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 Kevin is also a former Hornet if I'm not mistaken. If it's the same KJ, him and Larry played together in the 70's at Hardin, right? Quote
Hornet71 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 If it's the same KJ, him and Larry played together in the 70's at Hardin, right?I believe Kevin was a few years behind Larry. I think Larry played with Kevin's brother David. Quote
thetragichippy Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 I am suprised Lumberton gets this much attention. Its not like they are a Football Town thats had all kinds of success. Sorry if I offend but they are like a lot of schools in the area, they get a great group of kids every so often then back to sub-par years after that. Its always been like that I know since the 80s. They have never had steady success. 7 losing seasons in past 11 years. 2 winning seasons and 2 .500 seasons..... and they have athletes. Always have. Something is just not right there. I hope Babin gets it done. But he is in same situation as he was at Deweyville and Warren. Deweyville had their every so often group when he was there. No doubt Warren will have theirs soon. All 3 schools are similar, just different in size. All have athletes. Great kids. I see the communities as the problem. They all want to win but they also want Little Johnny to play. Even start. Lets Little Johnny be a problem child. Does not make or encourage Little Johnny to work hard. (Just some examples.) Thats more important than wins......another problem is no coach ever wants to stay and build the programs. These are tough jobs but no one said building a program was easy. The communities have to pick the right coach and give them time as well. These coaches need to embrace that time and build it even if you make parents mad. I see a lot of coaches letting parents persuade them on decisions. Successful coaches do not allow that. Anyways, Good Luck to all 3 schools. Lumberton has grown about 35% over the last 10 years.....while most of the surrounding cities have fought to stay even or have lost population. If we can get a coach that will stand up to school board and parents, we have a great chance of being a winning program. As your comments about the parents, I agree.

I keep hearing that but we are not seeing that in the numbers IMO. 2014 Lumberton 1109 2012 1087 2010 1063.5 That's a whopping 46 students gain over the last three alignments. So do all of these people moving into Lumberton not have kids?? Or will we see a big jump in a few years?? Lumberton's population has grown over 3200 people since 2010. Quote

Probably like Orangefield (very young couples moving in) Quote
dayton Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 Probably like Orangefield (very young couples moving in) true... I think a better place to look would be the total enrollment for all of Lumberton ISD if you could get your hands on it. thetragichippy 1 Quote
thetragichippy Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 I would agree...... They just have not made it to High School Quote
AthleticSupporter - Jock Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 TragicHippy only said those people lived in Lumberton. Their kids actually go to PNG, Kelly, Legacy, Evadale, HJ, etc, etc. :) Mr. Buddy Garrity, Team Game, thetragichippy and 1 other 4 Quote
dayton Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 I found some #'s on TEA's site. http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/adhocrpt/adste.html 2010-11 enrollment = 3589 K-12 2014-15 enrollment = 3806 K-12 Pretty significant increases Quote
Bigdog Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 Here's the breakdown by grade level with percentage of campus and total district: Count Percent(Campus) District Elementary Grade 1 308 34.3% 8.1% Grade 2 271 30.2% 7.1% Grade 3 319 35.5% 8.4% Intermediate Grade 4 292 34.8% 7.6% Grade 5 268 31.9% 7.0% Grade 6 280 33.3% 7.3% Middle Grade 7 295 49.9% 7.8% Grade 8 296 50.1% 7.8% High School Grade 9 296 26.7% 7.8% Grade 10 298 26.9% 7.8% Grade 11 245 22.1% 6.4% Grade 12 270 24.3% 7.1% So it looks like some of the enrollment jump will come in the next couple of years from 7th and 8th grade, and again from kids who are currently in 1st , 3rd and 4th grade. Of course this doesn't factor in move ins/outs and dropouts.

No politics and the coaches play the best kid for the position...... Quote
Tee Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 yep, PNG had Hughes and Schultz from Lumberton Walker and Halfin from HF we have had our share too. have a good friend who is an ex PNG coach who pointed to these players and the stroke of luck these 4 are/were for them thetragichippy 1 Quote

I guess I just don't have the victim mentality like some people. Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 so are you saying PNG is recruiting athletes? Communications program is top notch ;) Quote

No politics and the coaches play the best kid for the position...... If that is what you truly believe, you are a part of the problem. Coaches hang their livelihoods on wins and losses. To assume that a coach is playing another, less talented kid over yours due to politics, is a short sighted assessment. Your kid plays at Evadale because they are 2A and not 5A. spoonbill and AthleticSupporter - Jock 2 Quote

My son plays at Evadale. In the summer he plays on a team comprised of a lot of small school kids. We compete, and win against all competition.

Chester86 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 Yes sir, I do believe they could be classified as such. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 Yes sir, I do believe they could be classified as such. Weird that someone from HD would say something like that when they have had athletic transfers roll thru. I just find it a bit odd. ;) Chester86 1 Quote
Tee Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 so are you saying PNG is recruiting athletes? Of course not, I forgot Sparks AND the 1 or 2 kids from Breckenridge When Burmett was there we had a center go there but was not allowed to play To say they recruit would be wrong lets just say we named 7 WHO JUST HAppened to all want to take the communication class. Let the facts above speak for themselves. and YES coaches do sometimes let a non-touchable play ie the Principals kid who does your PDAS review every year, etc... Quote
