BC just got beat.... period.  Dubois' gameplan to throw the ball early wasn't a bad idea, it just wasn't successful.  Lumberton WAS vulnerable to the passing attack, but we just didn't capitalize.  Lumberton's lines (D&O) simply pushed our lines around.  BC turned the ball over on downs several times.  There was a BC turnover right at the goal line, but then Lumberton went three and out... our punt returner #8 returned the ball back to about the five, and we eventually scored a touchdown.  It was a turnover, but not costly.  Lumberton held us on two consecutive go-ahead drives in the fourth, and then forced a BC fumble on the final series.  Lumberton did what they needed to do and EARNED that victory.  BC didn't shoot themselves in the foot.  They showed up for the gunfight without a pistol.

 

My opinion is that BC got ahead of themselves and greatly underestimated what turned out to be a Lumberton team that had two weeks to prepare for us, and they were ready.  Not wanting to make excuses, but BC just wasn't ready to play.  This game was picked as the "game of the week" by both local TV affiliates, and it wasn't because of Lumberton's 1 pt win over Hamshire-Fannett.  The whole thing took on an atmosphere of "we can't be beat" instead of "I believe we can win." There was a 5:15 am Pep Rally on Friday morning.  That's right.... up at four-thirty on gameday to be at the school for a pep rally and interviews.  There was another pep rally that afternoon which featured a hot-dog eating contest for some of the O-line.  

Coach Dubois tried to get his players out of the 5AM pep rally, but no dice.   I believe that the kids got a (much needed) wake-up call in an otherwise meaningless game, and luckily nobody got hurt.  Dubois will make the necessary adjustments and we'll be back in business shortly.

Pretty much spot on. BC should have a great year this year. This year's team and last year's team are completely different based on their games with Lumberton. They are a very disciplined, scrappy bunch. Good luck to the Cards this year. They will make some noise in district. Both cities are lucky to get a couple good coaches this year that also happen to be hometown boys.

There were no mishandled exchanges, etc. The only BC turnovers were forced on hits by the Lumberton defense. You're misinformed. A "hi-light" clip, as you call it, doesn't tell the complete story of an almost 3 hour game.

LMAO enjoy while you can. besides LEE who do you think lumberton can beat in their own district?

I'll agree with almost everything you had to say, they just weren't ready/it didn't come together like planned, and way too much hype. I won't agree with the pep rallies (morning and afternoon) having anything to do with the loss. There were only 4 players at the morning event with Channel 12. Not the entire team...just 4. And there was only 1 player involved in the hot dog eating contest. He didn't finish 4 hot dogs....and this was FOUR HOURS before the game. Can't imagine that kid having a hard time putting down a few hotdogs and going out to the field a little while later. Again...I don't see either of these points as being what cost us the game. I would hate to see these activities being pointed at and blamed as being a factor in this game.

Great post.  BC is going to give a lot of teams trouble this year.  Dubois has them headed in the right direction and that's a strong senior group.

Kinda off topic but I didn't know Steve WORSTER went to B.C. SSo, is the Mike Barber who played for B.C. the same Mike Barber ex Oiler player?

Steve still lives in BC.  Oilers' Mike Barber was from White Oak.  My current favorite Cardinal alum is Matt Bryant who outscored Jamal Charles last week on my FF team.
