Vidor @ Raider Nation


Recommended Posts

It's called confidence.. When you've already proven that you can move the ball offensively against the two better defenses in the district then you earn that right to be confident.. This will be a battle of which of our defenses can stop the other offense. Luckily we've been battle tested twice for this offense, bridge city being a very good test, so I think we should be ready for it. Discipline and playing your assignments and not paying attention to all the fakes in the backfield, that's what we need to focus on!

Barring any injuries this week in practice (wood knock), Lumberton should be the healthiest they've been in a while. Looking forward to a great, injury free high school football game. The Raider's defense seems to be coming together at the right time. It's amazing what a full staff of competent assistant coaches can do for your team. It's senior night so be prepared for the related delays.

Over 5 district games, Lumberton and Vidor have both averaged 37pts per game on offense.  During those 5 games Lumberton has allowed an avg of 30 pts while Vidor has allowed 38.  Based on those #s and throwing in a couple of turnovers and penalties, I'd say this one will be decided in the last minute of the game, just like last year.

Interesting comments from Coach Babin after their win over GCM.

Coach Mathews, what say you? :):)

The Lumberton Ledger has been interviewing him at all home games and at the end they ask for a prediction. He says a win every time. Much Twitter ado about nothing. Figured the adults would be above the children but sometimes they're worse. Everyone loves gossip. Bring on Jerry Springer lol.

That 83 point drubbing of Lee greatly skews the offensive points for Vidor imho. Lumberton had to play Lee at their place on their homecoming. They put up a much better fight I'd say but who knows.

Hmm... I have seen the interviews that Coach Babin gives after their games. Do not recall him making those kind of comments before. The "we are better than they are" comments I had not heard from him before. Just found it interesting.

so, "I feel like we're better than Vidor" becomes " we are better than they are" lol. Trollolol

    • The locals have almost finished firing the first ever Speaker of the House from Southeast Texas upon direct order of Trump and his minions.   It's a sad day... Locals have decided that being represented by the most powerful man in the House didn't mean anything.... they'd rather a political novice to represent this part of SETX.  And why is that?  He wasn't MAGA enough for them.  Who cares that it will hurt locally... What Trump says, goes.     Just yesterday I saw Trump on television demanding that we fire Phelan... How he's a RINO, weak on the border, etc... why?  Because he wouldn't overlook the criminal actions done by Ken Paxton, one of Trump's key supporters in the effort to overturn the 2020 Election and allow Trump to remain in office despite the will of the voters.   Trump never even mentioned Covey's name, and I doubt he would recognize Covey if Covey walked up with a cup of coffee.  Who cares that it's bad for SETX?  Not the R voters from SETX!   Then I saw Covey's preacher on a different ad tell a bald face lie.  Why should Phelan be fired?  "He put Democrats in positions of power in the House."  Really?  That's been the position of BOTH parties for as long as anybody can remember.  They ALWAYS give the minority party committee chairmanships.  But in 2022 the Rs decided that the practice should stop.  Democrat voters should not be allowed a voice in the crafting of legislation if there is a single majority Republican seat in the House, according to the Rs.  Representative Government?  Never heard of it, huh? Never did I believe that we'd have an abortion ban, constitutional carry, huge cuts for school property taxes, and Texas law enforcement being greenlit to enforce immigration law.  But it all happened while Phelan was speaker.  Without a doubt, the most conservative Speaker, ever.  But still a dirty RINO for not being MAGA enough.  It would be funny if it weren't true.   I've been following politics long enough to remember when Rs couldn't get elected in Texas... I'm confident that we're headed back that direction.  I mean, it's obvious that with population shifts we'll be turning blue eventually.  I think that the behavior of the leadership of the Republican Party is going to cause that shift sooner than expected.  I won't be surprised to see Democrat Senators and possibly even a governor elected within 12 years.  Maybe less.  The Rs will be a party apparatus without a voting base behind them.
