V-I-D-O-R P-I-R-A-T-E-S


Recommended Posts

I will admit that I never expected the Pirates to have the kind of season that they have had.  I have been a long time Mathews fan, but never really liked the slot-T offense.  It simply allows other teams to load up in the box and stuff the run....but this team is something special.  This team simply doesnt care how many you put in the box, they just get it done.  Your starting quarterback plays both ways and has managed to stay healthy through a tough season in 20-4A, as have most of the players on the team.

This team has a motor like I have never seen.  Undersized against most every opponent and they just dont seem to care how big you are, they are gonna whip you.  I have never been prouder of a Pirate team.  I predicted an average season for the Pirates but I am so glad that I was wrong.  I graduated from Vidor many years ago and I have always supported my Pirates, I just never expected this team to play the way they have.  From Coach Mathews to all of the coaches on staff, to the players who go out and get it done, thank you.  Well done.  Keep on working, keep on winning.  You make us so proud.

Even if they hadn't won a single game, we'd still be proud of them. 

I think every little boy in Vidor grows up wanting to play football for the Pirates (even my son and he only lived there 2 years).  They all believe they are going to be "different" than the past and win.  These boys are exceeding everyone's expectations and are still going strong.  Someone said these are good memories for them.  These are good memories for the entire city and for anyone who ever graduated from Vidor High School.

My dad was a senior in 1964.  He is so proud of this team, he's had a smile on his face for weeks.

I agree invictus....I endured the Interstate 10, Vidor 0 jokes and the 0-44 losing streak we went through. Couple that with the "racist" brand we've had to carry and it makes these kids all that more special. Our community has always centered around the school and that football team and we fill the stands even when we can only win one game.

First off this is not the time for any negative comments this is the 2nd best team in Vidor history I believe and they deserve all the praise they can get. I love to see Vidor doing so well the town needs this. Vidor has shown a unwavering loyalty to coach Matthews and his style of football but more importantly his morals and ethics. I believe Vidor fans are as good a they come when supporting there kids and have as much pride for there school as any. So ride this proud football team all the way and this PNG Indian will be sitting with you this next weekend watching and cheering with you.
Lets Get Em PIRATES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually it was 12-0-1.  Went 10-0 in regular season, then 2-0-1 in post-season.  One regular season game is being left out, I'd have to get my scrapbook out of mothballs to see which one.

I didnt mean to imply that I wasnt proud of the Pirates before this season.  I actually go to practices sometimes and I am always impressed when I speak to the players at how mature and respectful they are.  That comes from good parents and coaches and teachers through the years that expect greatness from these young men.  The Pirate program under Mathews has been one of honesty and integrity, from the man at the top, to all the coaches, players, and support staff.  I am proud to call Jeff Mathews my friend because I know how much he truly cares for his players and wants only the best for them.  But, on the field, this team is something very special. 

I also want to thank all of those not from Vidor who post on these pages in support and also those who come out and watch our kids play and cheer us on.  Maybe now people will finally realize that we arent just a bunch of racial rednecks, but actually good people who radically support our teams on the court or field.

    • What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "
