Oh your gonna gettem going now ETBU  !

[JS]

agree--BH wins easily---L-train rolled last season but they are all gone--back to bottom this season

[WTB]

most of our OL is back, most of our DL is back. Our best defensive player is back. Hussey's replacments both avged over 8 yards a carry and are bigger and faster than Hussey. but your right Lumberton is gonna be horrible

[Guest etbu]

I feel good about this years BH team and finally can all out root for them since we longer share the pie. BH has a really good QB and a strong junior class coming up. They will be OK and wish I could witness this one but hey gotta follow them Red and Black fellers.  ;D

according to the review-"a total of six starters" are returning---is that incorrect?

[AJ25]

what exactly does that have to do with our results this year?  ??? most of the starters this year were on varsity lastyear. so they are obviously good.. and we have one of the strongest coaching staffs around. so how about you wait until after a few games to make that assumption.

[Guest Luv Ya Blue]

Let em talk! They all said the same crap last year and look what we did! We have a great Coach who is building a program.

Exactly.  You only have two starters coming back on Offense.  So your "whole o-line" is not coming back.  Neither is your "whole defensive line".  The RB is going to have a tough time finding holes with a brand new o-line.

[Guest etbu]

Now we have the "TRAIN" rolling........... Ha

[WTB]

Actually Kyle Gilliam C(6'1" 255 5.1 Honorable mention All-State), Hunter Howden T(6'5" 280 5.3 currently holds 6 D-1 offers and LSU, Oklahoma State are considering offering), and Matt Burkhalter were all starters at some point. Burkhalter played as a blocking TE in our 2 tight set and is the strongest OL on the Team. Seth Cook a Jr. will take PJ Hartts place and Seth (6 250, 5.08) is also a very talented young player. Mark Murrill will also play some Guard and is extremely talented 6'1" 240 4.85 at the TCU camp and Joey Swetland a Jr is also looking very good and is another Young player we are looking to contribute. Taylor Granato was a starter last year at WR until he got Staph infection in his collar bone and missed from the Dayton game on and Jacob Hanna played alot of Tailback and Fullback last season ran for around 400 yards last season and avg over 8 yards per carry. his sophmore season he started against Nederland bc hussy was hurt and ran for 137 yards on 24 carries and had 2 TDs. also returned 3 kicks for TDs last year. Anthony Beard will also play some tailback and had over 400 yards last year 6 TDs and avg over 8 yards per carry.

DL wise Duvall DE, Hanna DE, Murrill NT are returning leaving us one spot to fill

[WOS95]

i hope Lumberton has the same kind of year they had last year.  even if they dont make the playoffs this year i hope they keep building their program and have a successful season.  i also like coach credeur, he seems to be doing a very good job in Lumberton.

[AJ25]

i'll leave it at this... the BEST teams are always the ones who can rebuild successfully. so like i said..

BH will crush Lumberton.

BH will "CRUSH" Lumberton? These BH fans and/or Lumberton Haters must think that BH is some kind of powerhouse if they think they are going to "CRUSH" us? What a joke! Just wondering... does anyone know if those two clowns that tried tearing up the Lumberton HS are still on the team and playing against us?

[BMTSoulja1]

I was a first hand witness when the L-train rolled right over BH in the scrimmage last year.

[raidernaytion]

I remember some of BH's players were crying on the field .

[tvc184]

............ so how about you wait until after a few games to make that assumption.

Because if we wait a few games, it will no longer be an assumption.
