From what i understand the hire has already been mad and will be final on the 15th.

There will be another local coaching job open due to this hire.

Stay tuned for more details

Porters first year Lumberton won one game. Last year, after three years, Lumberton won 17 games and lost out on the playoffs on the last game of the season. Porter had that program headed in the right direction with young players coming back. I don't know what the new AD is looking for, but the program was successful under Porter. Good luck Josh.

Nope it is 4A coach.

He did well at his other school and will do well at Lumberton if the parents let him.

That is a tough district to win in.  

The parents in Lumberton do more harm than good.

Porter is not the first nor the last casualty from the parents in Lumberton.

That’s no joke. All they do is complain. Heck they are even complaining about the band not letting their kid play the instrument they want to play

Surprised the UIL wasn't called. 👀😁

This should be a good baseball job, hopefully the Lumberton parents will let the new skipper do his job.

Yes she isn’t happy with the current AD. 😂

The word on the street is that the Hamshire Fannett coach is taking the Lumberton job. Any truth to this or is it just rumors?

[LionsUp14]

Truth.

Definite that Coach Jeremy Seymour is moving from HF to Lumberton. Solid coach, good man.  Best of luck. 👍

Nothing is definite until the school board approves it next week.

Fair enough. 👍

It is 100% official. Coach Seymour is approved.  Filling out his Lumberton paperwork.  Will be a great addition for this Lumberton Raider Baseball Program.⚾  If he is allowed to build his program, without an excessive amount of parent, fan & administrative interference... it will be a successful one.

Coach Seymour is no stranger to adversity & outside pressure from any outside forces that are at work. He is a fine Christian man. He is a former Nederland Bulldogs Baseball Player & Current Port Neches-Groves Indians Supporter with a son playing football & baseball for the Indians.  All this while having coached at Hamshire-Fannett & now moving to Lumberton.  He has a great knowledge of the game of baseball.  He is a highly educated professional teacher.  Also he is a great conveyor of baseball skills.  He has a level head & sensible, but "tough as iron" personality.  Coach Seymour will be able to handle what is thrown at him.  His players will back him 100%, due to his devotion to any program he takes on!

May God Bless His Time at Lumberton!!!⚾🙏

Not saying anything bad about the Coach at all .. I’ve heard nothing but great things about him from his players and parents .. But Coach Porter is also a great guy with a good knowledge of baseball and was a Lumberton alumni .. 

 

just saying .. GOOD LUCK 🍀

In Lumberton his position as Head Baseball Coach is good for him.  The most important thing is he will be giving his all for that program. In Lumberton you have a successful stint as coach as long you don't ever have to be "running" for the door.😄
