I'll bite on this one. Still a week away but I think Lumberton can hang with the Tigers. I don't expect it to be a rout but I wouldn't be surprised at a possible 31-20 victory for the Raiders. There's a bit of a cross-town rivalry with this one that keeps it fairly close. Also, I don't know that Lumberton is among the strongest 4A squads in the area this season but I don't think Silsbee is among the weakest 3A schools either. Should be a good game. I remember when we beat Silsbee back in the mid 80's (our first district win I believe) and the fans tore down the goal posts. Don't expect to see that happening this time (ha).

UHHH, you're being a little modest, I think.  Lumberton by 21!!!

Man idk lumberton squeaked by a weak bh team but silsbee loses 2 an equally weak diboll ???

I don't know if you were at the Lumberton-BH game last night but I don't know where you get that BH is a weak team. The BH team I saw last night was a pretty good football team and a lot better than the BH team Lumberton beat last year. So I wouldn't assume that just because Lumberton barely beat them that they are weak. BH could easily be sitting at 2-0 right now against 20-4A teams. From all accounts they should have beaten PNG last week.

I based it on the team I saw last year not being very good (I saw them play Lumberton last year come to think of it) and the people from BH on here saying their worse than last year.

Diboll got beat 49-0 in a scrimmage I think I read they have 3 returning starters and they lost to Kirbyville who Silsbee should be able to beat if their as good as they were last year.

Calm down, Lumberton.  I am not calling you weak, but any means.  As I have underestimated you and you have a 2 year winning streak on my squad.  I'm just saying that the Dibol may be a really good team this year, therefore, making Silsbee a team that can potentially beat you.  They do have the stud QB in Johnson.  That does not take away that you have an animal in Beard.  This will be a good game.  Plus, there is the rivalry factor.  BTW, word on the street is that Silsbee have been wanting a piece of L-Train for a while now... ;D

After two weeks of football, I don't think anyone has a clear view of where everyone is but a picture is starting to form. I don't know what the heck happened at Diboll. They lost some players but I expected them to rebound. Apparently they haven't. BH is not a slouch and I agree with those who say they could easily be 2-0. In fact, I thought they had a good shot at upending the Raiders last night. Fortunately, they didn't. Lumberton will be ready for Silsbee. I do think the rivalry factor comes in to play, which is why I didn't predict a blow-out but, were it not for that "strong" factor in high school football, I wouldn't hesitate to pick Lumberton BIG. However, a win by Silsbee Friday night would be a complete and utter surprise to most of the inhabitants of this place we call earth. But, this is high school football and stranger things have happened. Go RAIDERS!

Honestly I don't think most people would be shocked to see Silsbee win.

      It's a great day in SETX!

      The locals have almost finished firing the first ever Speaker of the House from Southeast Texas upon direct order of Trump and his minions.   It's a sad day... Locals have decided that being represented by the most powerful man in the House didn't mean anything.... they'd rather a political novice to represent this part of SETX.  And why is that?  He wasn't MAGA enough for them.  Who cares that it will hurt locally... What Trump says, goes.     Just yesterday I saw Trump on television demanding that we fire Phelan... How he's a RINO, weak on the border, etc... why?  Because he wouldn't overlook the criminal actions done by Ken Paxton, one of Trump's key supporters in the effort to overturn the 2020 Election and allow Trump to remain in office despite the will of the voters.   Trump never even mentioned Covey's name, and I doubt he would recognize Covey if Covey walked up with a cup of coffee.  Who cares that it's bad for SETX?  Not the R voters from SETX!   Then I saw Covey's preacher on a different ad tell a bald face lie.  Why should Phelan be fired?  "He put Democrats in positions of power in the House."  Really?  That's been the position of BOTH parties for as long as anybody can remember.  They ALWAYS give the minority party committee chairmanships.  But in 2022 the Rs decided that the practice should stop.  Democrat voters should not be allowed a voice in the crafting of legislation if there is a single majority Republican seat in the House, according to the Rs.  Representative Government?  Never heard of it, huh? Never did I believe that we'd have an abortion ban, constitutional carry, huge cuts for school property taxes, and Texas law enforcement being greenlit to enforce immigration law.  But it all happened while Phelan was speaker.  Without a doubt, the most conservative Speaker, ever.  But still a dirty RINO for not being MAGA enough.  It would be funny if it weren't true.   I've been following politics long enough to remember when Rs couldn't get elected in Texas... I'm confident that we're headed back that direction.  I mean, it's obvious that with population shifts we'll be turning blue eventually.  I think that the behavior of the leadership of the Republican Party is going to cause that shift sooner than expected.  I won't be surprised to see Democrat Senators and possibly even a governor elected within 12 years.  Maybe less.  The Rs will be a party apparatus without a voting base behind them.
