I wouldn't have picked this game location.  I would have rather it been Provost Umphrey if  each team was choosing a location close to home other than the home stadium for the flip.  

Was Provost Umphrey available?

Whats the cost difference in the two?

Are there other underlying factors?

Location is ok easy trip for Lumberton  Should win this one but as playoffs continue they better shore up the defense. Giving up 29 to a weak Palestine team is not going to get it done when they face tougher opponents

I think our biggest problem last night was a case of nerves to start with and their coach started off with a little trickery. We basically gave them their first 14 points not expecting what we got. Once our guys settled in the beat down was on.

Defense is fine and seems to be improving every week. Palestine was pretty good offensively, well coached, and with the exception of the Kilgore game, has put up solid numbers all season.  
Whether it be nerves, missed assignments, bad luck or just a statistical anomaly, special teams play this week was bad and accounted for 16 Palestine points. 
With round 2 being on Friday and basically at home, I have no doubt that extra day will be well used to address that 3rd phase. 
Lumberton defense is complimentary of a very dynamic offense and together are playing well enough to beat any team in the region. Arguably the best and definitely the most entertaining Raider team ever.

I wonder if the sidline to sideline guys are still thinking next week will be Stafford vs. CH? I'm pretty confident  it'll be Lumberton and we can take CH just by not falling for their hype. I think we're the better team. Some folks have said Livingston scored against their backups, but the same thing was true in the Lumberton/Livingston game and we held them better than CH.

Ch is explosive on offensive. There defense imo is the weaker side of the ball. I think it will be a shootout

No way they think it’s Stafford vs CH…

    • Vidor vs HJ - 1 Game Location:  Vidor Date and Time:  Thursday (May 2) at 7pm
    • but will he be doing contact football drills mid-season?
    • That was an awesome video!  I feel so proud of these young men.  They proved the doubters wrong.  Bellville should be proud, too.  I know it didn't end like they had hoped, but we've been there, so we can definitely empathize with them.  Great season, Brahmas!
    • Meh.. Everyone knows this. The kid that got injured wasn't lifting weights. Supposedly he was hit with a helmet in his elbow. In my opinion the kid shouldn't have been put in that situation. AD should've told the Varsity baseball players to sit that one out. I have no issues with the lifting or conditioning. However, anytime helmets/pads are on there is a higher risk of injury. This AD showed a total lack of respect for HIS baseball program. 
    • Maybe.. however..  Many athletic director / head football coach have lost their job despite the athletic program as a whole being successful.. if the football team struggles.  On the other hand, when football teams are doing great but the rest of the program stinks.. AD/HFC still keeps their job. WOS.  Newton. .. programs as a whole were fairly weak during those many years of football power and very few people even knew it.  Or cared. Yet, AD/HFC kept their jobs for years. Meanwhile, I remember an AD/HFC at Barbers Hill lost his job after every program in the school won district championships and even had several team sports (baseball, softball, girls hoops, etc.) making runs at state.  But the football team was mediocre.  Fired. I'm not saying you're wrong, just that perception is reality.  And the perception is that your athletic program can suck as long as football wins.. it doesn't matter how strong the athletic program is if football sucks.
