Lufkin @ La Porte

[OlDawg]

I’ll just call this the ‘Double LP Game.’ Directions, parking, etc. for the stadium are in the link. For those making the trip, “Welcome! Have a safe trip, and enjoy the hospitality & festivities in the town where Texas won her independence.”

Don’t miss the turn off into the stadium, or you could wind up in Galveston Bay in about 300 yards! 😂

This game could end up being a sleeper.

They never were very smart. If they were, they would have picked a different place to live. They've been trying to ride our coat tails forever.

Coach Abseck and Coach Berneathy have met 3 times. In Berneathy's first year back at LP (2022), the Dawgs beat Barbers Hill 34-27 in district play. In Berneathy's second year at LP (2023), the Dawgs won at Barbers Hill on the Eagle's Homecoming 34-29 in district play. This was the first year LP played no home games as the new Bulldog was being built. LP actually played their home games at Eagle Stadium. LP was moved to 11-5AD1 in 2024, and the two met up in the Area round PO game which LP won 55-27.

This will be the 4th meeting between these two staffs.

Can't leave out Kings BBQ now can you. Best loaded baked potato on that side of the ship channel. 🤦‍♂️

I think styles make fights and Lufkin has a style of play that I think can keep this game competitive.  Similar to how the Westbrook game went for LaPorte. Of course we could look up and Simon has 200 yards and 4 TDs and its not very competitive.  Outside of the Longview game Lufkin has been competitive in every game this year. United got away late and I believe Lufkin would beat United more times then not. It was just one of them nights where everything went wrong. Should have also beaten GCM. Its been a roller coaster season. Depending on which Lufkin team shows up. Im expecting a 4 quarter game.

Thank you sir. All of the info is greatly appreciated. 
 

I believe most of the Lufkin fan base is fairly familiar with the area. I actually co-own an air bnb property in Kemah myself lol. 
 

As for the game, idk. I don’t see how Lufkin can slow LaPorte down enough and then score enough to win. We would need to score every time the LaPorte offense comes off the field. No matter how that occurs. If we had more consistency on offense I’d feel better, but we can’t punt the ball 5 times and fail to score in the red zone 3 times in this game and win to tell about it. Lufkin has yet been able to put back to back games together where I thought they looked like a good football team. It’s Jekyll and Hyde. That’s why we’re in this position in the first place. No better a time than now I guess.

Couldn’t name every restaurant. But yep. The loaded spud is pretty good. Problem is, after I eat one, it’s lights out John Boy. No amount of coffee can resuscitate. 😆

Youth. I consider the BU game a fluke. But—like I’ve told others—Simon will get his. He got 340 & 4 TD’s against PAM. What you don’t want to see is Wells with 200 or more passing. He’s averaging over 170 ypg with a 64% comp. rate, 19 TD’s, and only 1 INT. If LP can pass whenever they want, it will be a problem.

I know LP wants to win. My main concern is that no one gets hurt. I wouldn’t mind an RSS win on Thursday either. Nothing against BU. I just want GCM and Lufkin to make the PO’s. But, I don’t want LP to lose to make it happen. The LP seniors have been through a lot with no home games for 2 years, and have still been District Champs & PO bound for 4 consecutive years. Y’all are getting ready to experience a similar ‘no home’ period. But—at the end & new beginning—y’all will be really happy about it.
