I agree,root for our districts teams, good for us to fight during regular season but come together for playoffs just like a typical dysfunctional family. Fight like cats and dogs til someone says something about our family/district then we bound. I personally cheer for all teams in Texas and Louisiana. I got a UT degree, Southwest Texas st degree and UH masters, but my son is engineering honors at AM. I’ve coached players that went to UT, AM, S MU, Baylor , Tech, TCU, LSU, Mcneese, Northwest, and Tulane. I’m waiting for Texas and Louisiana to secede. Go Hill, Go Coogs.👍✝️🐻

Carthage would beat anybody in the area by 40 except WB.

As a Huffman fan, I am pulling for that L-Train big time!!! Anything can happen. Crosby beat Manvel, Stanford beat USC, and Trump beat Hillary....Lumberton can beat Carthage!!!

Heard the UIL is considering giving Carthage automatic byes in the playoffs until the championship game. Don't know if this is fact or rumor tho.

Just to clarify, the Huntsville QB was hurt in the first half of the 2nd game of the season against PNG. It was an ankle injury. He missed the College Station game, and then played about 4 District games. He clearly was not 100% and the backup QB played the last 2 District games. The main running back has also missed a lot of games, so yes the offense has struggled to stay on the field at times. All those season stats cited in an earlier post won’t mean anything on Saturday. The Hornets appear to finally be healthy again and it showed last week against Marshall.

Crosby is a glorified Png without the crowd right now. Let's get real if you wanna.

One thing I’m proud of is in the past y’all know Lumberton would go into this game knowing they were gonna lose. It’s the loser mentality of this town. And I’m sure for the most part the community still thinks that way. But I can guarantee that Coach Babin, along with his staff, have built this program up to have a winner’s mentality. They are preparing to go win, they are gonna be confident going in. At the end of the day for a High school football coach, it’s not always about winning championships because most coaches will never do that. It’s about preparing young men for life. And sometimes life ain’t fair, and other times in life you lose because you were simply outmatched. If we go into this game confident, executing the plan, and leave it all on the field but get beat because Carthage is just a better team, then I don’t think there is anything negative that can be said about our players or our coaching staff. But on the other hand, if we pull off the upset, these kids will remember this for the rest of their lives. I just watched a YouTube video of highlights from when we beat Lamarque and i still get chills watching that. And I wasn’t even on the team, I was a freshmen. That’s what HS football is all about right there!

I think Lum needs to take as long as they possibly can to score on every single drive... Just wind the clock and protect the ball. That’s really all that they have to do. And pray. Pray a lot. To Jesus, Baby Jesus, Mother Mary, Buddha, Allah, that Hindu she-god with the eight arms, and the comet that those guys in the purple Nikes were worshipping.

Bought my reserved ticket tonight

KOGT is doing WO-S game. SETXsports is doing LC-M game.

There was one guy who tried to get y’alls goat with the MECCA stuff years ago(his kid walked on and earned a scholarship and just had Senior Day) and everyone took the bait hook line and sinker lol. 14.2 gets on here and tries to give and honest opinion based on numbers and people destroy him. Personally I don’t know the head coach from Adam. I went to the Vidor game and it was hard to watch. Not because it was Vidor, the kids played with no emotion and I had never seen that from a Crosby team I’ve been watching for a while now. Your fan base is loyal, as long as you beat Nederland, good thing Neumann retired!

11/24/2017 vs. Mexia @Conroe Moorhead Won 17-3

To be fair @GURU, y'all aren't one of the teams I follow. Just trying to give y'all some love

Baytown Lee (1809) *opting up Baytown Goose Creek Memorial (2097) Baytown Sterling (2126) Beaumont United (2037) La Porte (2143) New Caney (2052) New Caney Porter (2132) Pt Arthur Memorial (1997) I assume this would be football only.

Well one thing is for sure BH is used to playing in doors - I worked a lot of graveyards to pay for that facility- lol. The fact that BH is a well rounded team , Offense, defense and special teams is going to play heavy in their favor. The Eagles take this round !

This is exactly my point. ALL of their impact players are seniors this year and they've still performed the way they have. They had a rb that ran for about 1,200 yards and a receiver that had about 1,200 yards. It looks more to me like they miss those gamebreakers than anything having to do with health. They also had a four star d-linemen who's now at Texas that the rest of the defense could play off of, a kid like Sweat makes all your defensive linemen as well as the secondary better. Huntsville is just big on the defensive line, I don't think they have an advantage anywhere else on the field. Maybe the qbs are a toss-up but I would take Branch's 21 carries for 233 yards and 5tds in bi-district over Southern's stat line from Marshall which is pretty much how his numbers have looked all year except for CS where they trailed the whole game and he put up a bunch of passing yards. All I can say is that Crosby is playing with a bunch of confidence right now. It looks like Coach Prieto has given up the play-callling duties and the offense is performing a lot better. I never feel good about second round games based on Crosby's history in them but I will say I haven't been this optimistic about our opportunities in one since 2009.

I won it again! In my dreams last night. It keeps recurring every year in the playoffs.

When did y'all win yours?

They won their championship back before face masks so he likes to relive those glory days lol

Great question...Republicans many times don't have the guts to rock the boat on issues like this. Trump, however, could care less about how it's "always been done around here" and has no problem rocking the boat. That's why many have come to appreciate him and why he'll be re-elected without any problem. You seem quick to blame Republicans for everything but won't dare criticize your own party, even when the corruption is very obvious.

Lmao. Touche’. Although I’ve heard from the looks of it, you were actually from that generation.

All kidding aside from my game posts. We wish Silsbee best of luck the rest of the way. Their players, coaches and fans were very respectful and played the game the right way.

Just bringing this back on top of last week's game

I’ve got a section of 25 reserved, and you are more than welcome to sit with us. PLENTY of room for you and whomever you want to bring. It’d be an honor. Except please don’t bring Cardinalbacker.

I finally understand your aim... No more lip outta me. Get'em!

Everyone on here knows Lumberton is overmatched in this game. From the coaching staff right on down to the last player on the roster. However, they did have a little good fortune come there way for this game to end up being played in Lumberton. Stranger things have happened. That's all I'm seeing people on this thread saying. I'm just hoping they can hang around in the game for a while.

Wait for it!!!! Shocked it hasn’t already lit up!

Well you know when your QB’s name is “Gunner” you’re just destined for greatness lol

Yea, that was the year after Tyler graduated, and that team was so good, they'd beat a lot of 6a teams. They got to a point where they were scoring on first plays and could've easily put up 80 on Silsbee that night, No exaggerating. I dont think I've witnessed a more dominating performance, ever .

About 40 less than they would beat PAM by right? 😂😉

Don’t forget special teams too.. I remember the last time silsbee played them in Lufkin, it was a blowout, I believe the year after Calvin Tyler graduated. But I remember they did two high pooch kicks that caught silsbee off guard and Carthage recovered both of them. Carthage has great talent, and superior coaching. It’s definitely a program on another level. We will need to come out with a good game plan and execute it. I expect Coach Babin to throw in several kinks, maybe look for some trick plays.

They knocked us out in the first round in 15. They were in a totally different level. From the custom painted Blue Bird buses to the coaching staff to fans..: they know what they’re doing and they do it very well. They’re an extremely small 4aD1 school, but they had an unbelievable number of kids suited out. Not just suited out, but receivers that were BUILT like D1 recruits. Lineman that, pardon me, weren’t just unathletic fat kids that look like they’re about done playing organized sports. They were an eye-opener for sure.

Gilmer has 788 kids in High School, Newton has 285 kids. That may have a something to do with Gilmer winning.

That’s the way the boys need to be coming out Friday night. No point in laying over and giving up. Lumberton is not the only team in this area that would be a huge underdog to Carthage. I’m pretty sure most teams in SETX, besides a select few maybe, wouldn’t have much of a chance. I haven’t kept up with Carthage this year but I’m sure they are the same Championship caliber team that they have been for the last decade. We get to play them at home, second round of the playoffs. It’s gonna be an awesome experience for the guys, especially seniors, win or lose.

I see talk of the qb coming back and while he’s better than the backup I’ll also point a couple of things out. Huntsville’s qb got hurt against Lake Creek a few weeks ago and missed the last game of the season, he played in the rest. In the full games he’s played he averages about 175ypg passing and has 11 tds with 7 ints. He has 129 rushing yards on the season and is not a running threat at all except around the goal line. 5 of those tds passes came against struggling Cleveland, 4 of the ints came against Cons. though. FBW’s qb is a better prospect, plus the Hornets only average 93ypg rushing as a team. Huntsville’s o-line is good size but I honestly feel their offense is a better matchup for Crosby’s defense than FBW’s was. All that being said, it doesn’t matter if Crosby can gets stops if they can’t score themselves. I think this is where the Crosby athletes come into play though. We may not be able to run the ball with much consistency against their front but we may be able to hit 5 or 6 big plays which is all we might need. They only averaged about 25ppg against the playoff teams on their schedule and the qb played in all of them except PNG. I expect this one to be pretty tight unless Crosby turns it over.

Oh and one more thing if New Diana coaches knew the plays so well like they were calling them how did Newton end up with 501 total yards? Or for that matter if the plays are known by everyone how is newton able to average over 460 yards per game total offense? If the plays are so easily read or know wouldn’t you think they wouldn’t be averaging 50 plus a game and averaging 460 plus a game in yardage? Asking for a friend.

Smithville has a solid QB to

Yep and the same amount of State Championships in football 0.

Lil Tex looking down from Heaven sees BH in round two and tells God “Hell must be freezing over!” I do miss that man!

Silsbee may not win but the kids will show up and battle

Hornets sting the cougars so bad PETA is called.

BH 28 Whitehouse 20

I certainly don't think Silsbee has a great program. Here is all time series with LC-M: 17-10 Silsbee With Huffman: 4-4

Just that I can think of games at Moorhead La Grange Giddings Columbus Huffman

To many if's in there for me, I hope they play aggressive football and if (if again ) they play aggressive, we will win.🤞

I would interested in knowing how you think the coaching style has changed? This is the same style offense Newton has ran since 1968. The same offense that Barbay taught to Jack Alvarez who taught it to Greg Neece. Westbrook the OC now played in this same system and learned it from Barbay coaching here as well. The style is still the same now what isn't the same this year that Neece had the pleasure of having was the 3 guys named Foster, Barlow, and Brown, as well as Noah Williams the year before. So those 4 guys can make any coach look really good. Say what you want but Newton doesn't have any of those guys on this years team not even close to that caliber. The offense is still clicking this year and scoring tons of points and putting up yardage. Just because you hear someone saying the same things over and over in the stands or on the radio doesn't mean they know what the play is. Just because you see someone pulling doesn't mean its the scat. Folks are getting ridiculous the problem with Friday was the fact that Newton had 5 TO's and a couple suspect calls on some big plays that brought TDs back that they end up not scoring on. Newton is fine sit back shut up and enjoy watching these young men play. Get off the coaches back they are working hard day in and day out to put these young men in a position to be successful. No one goes to your job and tells you how terrible you are at flipping burgers or loading wood or driving a forklift so don't come to a game and yell at the coaches about how stupid they are or get on the internet and blast them behind a screen name. I will tell you like I told the last guy if you don't what is happening instead of hiding behind the keyboard go to the fieldhouse and voice your concerns with the coaches. If your not going to do that shut up and enjoy the fact that Newton has lost only 2 games over the past 4 seasons and appreciate what these kids and coaches are doing.

Just went through everyone's schedule listed on SETXsports and the teams that have it listed to attend are H-F, Kelly, E.C and Jasper.

Top 3 receivers in their district. All over 400 yards receiving. Silsbee has got to put pressure on the QB to stop that passing game. Can’t let him get that ball off.

We have 2 teams from our District in the fight!

How about take your Butt whooping and move on
