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.

      After his silly conviction, President Trump has raised over 200 Million dollars!  The people are seeing through it!  Excellent!

      Let’s see if joe biden’s words about no one is above the law, made after the rigged trial of President Trump, rings true with his po💩son.  Hopefully, but I’m not going to hold my breath, they put the sorry sob in prison.

      I liked his no bull crap attitude. He was a man of very few words. Extremely strong and freaky athletic!!! As close as possible to being the best offensive lineman to ever play the game. I hope his family finds peace without him!!! RIP #73

      Chester, a small town in NE Tyler County.  A town that is seeing growth with the addition of a national chain store and a new school being built.  If you travel 287 toward Dallas from the Golden Triangle you have probably passed through Chester.  Things tend to stay pretty consistent and it is your typical small town.   A trip to state is the buzz around town, and the talk before church services begin on Sunday.  This year’s graduating class will number 11.  We don’t have a radio station that covers the Yellowjackets.  We are never a lead story on any of the news stations that broadcast to our community. With all that said, there is a closeness and sense of pride in our community.  Every community rallies behind their kids as they progress into the playoffs.  We are proud of our boys as they have represented our community well and with class. We invite you to follow our boys as they go to state.  We welcome the greater SETX communities as honorary Yellowjackets.  Tune in, watch live or come to Round Rock personally and join us in supporting the Chester Yellowjackets.  Go ‘Jackets!!! ⚾️💜💛⚾️🟣🟡⚾️💜💛⚾️
