I think Vidor may be the Lumberton of last year. They have a lot of experience coming back from a decent team a year ago. Just like Lumberton in '06, they lost a lot of games but played good at times and then had most of the team returning for last season. Vidor has a chance to do the same thing this year.

If the Pirates have a good pre-district season, builds some confidence and keeps the injuries down, they could surprise some people.  I think the key will be "builds confidence".  From what I have seen over the past 2 weeks, they are in shape, fired up and hitting hard.

I sure like what I see so far, Coach Mathews is fired up like I have not seen him in a while.  The Pirates now have a coaching staff that can coach and teach.  The staff is as strong as it was in the late 70's into the early 80's.  If everyone would remember the Pirates were very successful during that time.  Congrats. to the AD, he has put together a staff that is worth something...

It's going to be a very exciting year.  GO PIRATES!

Vidor is being built up to be a good team but just like every other year they will prove you wrong.

They will have a little reality check friday night when we beat them on their home field.

    • Funny how “MAGA” is considered a bad thing…. The MAGA crowd….etc…. Whoever doesn’t want to make America Great should leave. 
    • That's an interesting take, but considering that an incumbent enjoys a HUGE advantage historically, I think Covey came pretty close to an upset. I don't care one way or the other - the biggest reason being that I live in Hardin County. But I have to think the Trump endorsement got Covey that close in the first place. His only recognition was on a very local level, virtually unheard of before the Trump endorsement. Otherwise, he probably would've lost by thousands of votes instead of a few hundred. Just my observation.
    • I think the interesting point is this… Trump backed candidates do better when Trump is on the ballot. Back in March Covey was up by 3%, and that skirt from Jasper pulled about 10%… and most people believed that her voters would go directly to Covey. Conventional wisdom was that Covey would be up by 10-12 points if all things went according to the pattern from March. That just didn’t happen. Typically turnout is lower in runoffs than in the primaries, and my guess is that Phelan had fewer votes this time around than last, but covey had WAY fewer votes. A friend of mine has been watching a similar runoff in central texas, and the results were similar. The MAGA guy just didn’t turn out the votes this May.    My opinion is that a large portion of the support these Trump guys are just that…. Trump supporters. They’ll vote down ticket according to MAGA directives when Trump is on the ballot, but when they can’t vote Trump, they just don’t show up at all.

    • Then you should have known lots of people said the exact same thing when the alcoholic Democrat Ann Richards was elected way way back in the day. Texas has become redder and redder ever since. People, especially blacks, are waking up and realizing the Marxist Democrats are destroying them. Feel free to hold your breath waiting on your dream to happen though. That would be fun to watch, LOL.
