Ben Featherston played on the D-Line with my son for the Raiders. He graduated this year with Academic Scholarships to Baylor. He is an awesome kid. Please read the Facebook post from his family below: “Update for Ben Featherston! 10/31/21 For Ben, this weekend has been a time of rest and stabilization in preparation for a big surgery tomorrow. As y'all know, Ben's body remains in a state of instability which is preventing his liver & kidneys from recovering. This instability is coming from his legs which were severely injured from lack of blood flow from cardiogenic shock when Ben's illness started on 9/29/21. Now, 32 days later, his legs have not been able to recover despite numerous debridements & surgeries. And, as his legs worsen, they release toxins into his body that keep his blood pressure unstable & keep his liver and kidneys very sick. This is very much a life or death situation. The only solution in stopping this viscous cycle is amputation. Ben will have both legs amputated above the knee tomorrow. Ben is aware of the situation and has shown strength beyond his age. We have told him he has an army of Drs and nurses fighting for him and a second army of friends and family fighting for him and lastly, God's army surrounding him. His fight continues to amaze us!Thank you for your continued love & prayers. Ben needs them now more than ever!” I beg of each of you that reads this to say a simple prayer for Ben’s health and recovery. I wish you could know what a great and decent kid this young man is. Thank you.

Looking forward to a good game. I like our chances. My son has good Pirate friends he will be battling against. Prayers for an injury free game so both teams can go into the 1st round and represent no matter where either wind up seeding.

I love how Nederland and PNG people are on here arguing about who sucks more. 😂😂

Definitely Lumberton at Vidor!

Voice recognition…. And no matter how many times I proofread it, I usually have to go back and make corrections. For some reason it is easier to see once it has been posted. I will leave it for dramatic effect…. 😂

Ashly Elam has it as the game of the week and here is his breakdown: 409Sports Game of The Week Lumberton (6-3, 3-1) at Vidor (7-1, 3-1) Series: Vidor leads 16-7 First Meeting: 1996, Vidor 17-10 Last Meeting: 2020: Vidor 42-14 Last Lumberton Win: 2015, 28-13 #409Sports #txhsfb

According to Wisconsin law I believe he was committing a misdemeanor because he was under 18 years old. I don’t know if that negates self-defense, it should not but you can never tell with a state law or what a DA will try to convince the jury to believe. If he was committing a crime that caused the attack on him, I believe that probably negates it. Like if he was breaking into someone’s house and they attacked him and he used deadly force, it would be unlawful because he cannot use a deadly force to further a criminal act. On the other hand if he was smoking marijuana which is also a misdemeanor and someone tried to kill him, does he have the right to self defense or would he lose it simple because he’s committing a misdemeanor that has nothing to do with the attack? I believe that him unlawfully carrying a rifle does not negate the right to self-defense but you could never tail about another state.

Vidors defense will be the difference. Secondary grew up quick, D-Line is what it is...NASTY, and LB's will hit you in the mouth. As far as offense goes...hold on to ball, ride #2, 21, 14, & 26. 24-13 Vidor "Kill'em all, let the paramedics sort'em out"

BH vs. Texas City. I’ll be there calling plays from the stands👍

The fact that we're still having this conversation when "White Chicks" can be purchased, rented, or streamed is a bad joke. The idea that "I can do it, but you can't" in regards to costumes, words, etc, is possibly the dumbest thought pattern that has been in place since actual racism was an issue.

May our God send Ben love & strength, physical & mental. Send his parents the support they need. And give his Dr’s the skill to help this young man. My prayers are with them all. 🙏✝️❤️

I dont think you can use the Shepherd game as a comparison.. an early penalty by the trojans set the tempo for the Pirates. Coldspring has been playing lights out on both sides of the ball even with the injuries they have had. I like to compare the wins over the district schedule and make my prediction on that and what I have seen... Talking to the Crockett Broadcast team last week, They feel like we are coing to run through Diboll... I think it will be a 2 score game for the Trojans.

Hurts to read this, but thanks for posting. Sadly a Prosper TX cheerleader was recently paralyzed in a tumbling accident, too. Its just hard to hear of kids getting really sick or hurt badly. Stay strong Ben. SETX has you in our prayers.

Now if they could just figure out a legitimate vaccine that would last as long as this thread……

What a win! That’s the kind of game Jason Garrett would’ve lost 24-9

It’s hard to comment without being speculative. The lady who brought it to the school stated "We're no longer going to be quiet and let this go on.”… Let what go on? Was the student being knowingly disrespectful by dressing up as Tyler Perry’s Madea? I'm at a loss.

So if this pic took place off campus at a private party and was not a school sanctioned, sponsored party, then why is the school involved or even brought into this? So private parties are now the business of the school? This is so lame.

Crosby has wrapped up at least a share of its 6th district it’s title in the last 8 years and will be guaranteed to play from the pole position once the playoffs starts. This will be the second of three consecutive bye weeks for Crosby so it’s hard to get a feel for what personnel will be on the field Friday and for how long. In a game like this I fully expect Nederland to come out firing on all cylinders, the only issue is that they opted for the inline three banger this year and the parts are obsolete. Therefore, they’ll be battling KP to see who can finish in 6th place. Under the circumstances it’s kind of hard to know what to expect other than Crosby will be trying to make it out as healthy as possible. *I know Ned didn’t need and probably didn’t even want a thread but since y’all beat us last year . . .

And saw them play Silsbee then PA. Played without Princess. Still dominated Silsbee and PA. Still lots to work on, but I love to see the 6’1” PG and a really good freshman guard that got like 8 steals vs Silsbee and like 10 vs. PA. (2 quarter games with running clock). I say we’re poised for yet another deep playoff run. Let’s see how it unfolds…

Bottom line...We beat ya'll. By 10, at the Rez when it counted. Better luck next year, Dude.....

i know right, total shocker.

The Freshman group has some really good players, 5 freshman (but sometimes up to 7) are starters on the JV team. Splitting the freshman group up has hurt the Freshman's winning streak, but JV is undefeated.

That's interesting... Thought for sure he would have chosen Huffman & Livingston! 😎

If you’re offended by somebody dressing up like a wholesome character…. You’re a racist. Plain and simple. There is no doubt that the person complaining is the only racist in this story. The fact that all of us are now like “oh, pardon my flag… I’ll go hide it so that you won’t be angry anymore” is a joke. I guarantee that Tyler Perry isn’t offended by all of those whiteys buying his dvds.

Man, I'm a true believer in karma and if anyone has needed a paramedic the last few weeks, it's been us with injuries.😩

He has gotten some slack but I think he is causing Karma to Vidor football. But that’s what transplants do they mess stuff up. Secure Texas border

I know 9 people personally who've died from Covid. 2 of them were distant family members. I know at least 3 dozen more who've been hospitalized. Admittedly I was only close/fairly close to 3 of the people who died. I don't know anyone who's been so much as hospitalized from the vaccine. In general everyone I know who "knows someone who died after taking the vaccine" was strongly anti-vax to begin with, and I honestly assume most of them are lying, or reading someone else's lie on facebook and taking it as their own.

Did you call In the paramedics last week?

In between play calls, try to keep us updated on the score.

I guess I should have titled it, what has biden done that is bad for the US. That might make it easier for them to come up with something.

***see Highland Park enrollment

I coached Ben when he was in Middle School. You won't find a better kid. I hate to hear this.

Only God has the power to give Ben the strength and courage needed to endure this. Please keep praying for him or add him to your prayer list at church. Thank you again.

Those years were great, but what really made it was the amount of parental support the program had, as well as the amout of athletes we had.. GO back and look at how many went on to play at the next level from 2009-2014

The number will be 2,246. Book it.

Do mice bark?

What a great team performance in the win vs Minnesota. Defense looked good, the WR’s had a huge night, both RB’s made plays and Cooper Rush gets his 1st win in his 1st start.

Ben Carson Rips Covid Vaccines For Kids: 'This Is Really A Giant Experiment'! [Hidden Content]

Fauci is as dirty as the Clintons!

Rodgers will need to step up now more than ever

For some it will always be the chain gang. Old traditions and names die hard.

Depends on which BH team shows up.

Why not go back 7-8 more years?

In Stump's seven seasons at WB at least four of his teams were more talented than the West Brook team that made it to state in 2018. All Stump could muster with that talent is the 3rd round of the playoffs. Dude won district once in seven years! He is very much overrated as a football coach.

Technically the school could be within their authority but it is a very narrow exception. The Supreme Court has ruled that’s such speech how to create a “substantial disruption” in classes. Way back in the mid-1960s, the Supreme Court ruled in Tinker v. Des Moines School District in a 7-2 decision that wearing black arm bands in class in protest of the Vietnam war was protected speech Under the First Amendment. Interestingly a similar case came up in front of the Supreme Court as this Buna case just four months ago. If I remember the case, a cheerleader was on their JV squad and tried out for the varsity squad. She did not make the squad and she made an off campus and off school time post (I will clean up the language) something like… screw school, screw cheerleading, screw everything. In response the school district kicked her off at the JV squad. She sued school district and in their defense they stated that she called a substantial disruption in classes. As evidence they brought testimony that a couple of classes discussed her for a few minutes. The Supreme Court in and 8-1 decision stated that discussing the cheerleader for a few minutes and in some classes does not constitute a substantial disruption of the school. Like in most cases they don’t define what that is. Would that require riots at the school? Many students walking out of class in protest? I don’t know because issues such as this are on a case by case basis. The Supreme Court gives guidance for the lower courts to follow. Sometimes they give very distinct answers, which are called Bright Line Rules, which must be followed but those are extremely rare. This is not one of those cases. So for Buna ISD to be able to take any kind of action at all, they need to be able to document a “substantial disruption” in school and having some students or parents not liking it does not even come close to feeling that description, in my opinion. The very essence of the first amendment is making comments that people don’t like. Otherwise it would not be needed.

Counting isn’t their strong suit

My point of reference is PN-G v. Crosby and PN-G v. TC. Watching those two games, the second unit for Crosby will still beat TC. The Stingarees have a physical and quick DL/LB group, but not a lot of size and they were not as disruptive as what I saw from Crosby. At times, the PN-G OL pushed around TC. The secondary for TC was supposed to be good, but the Indians had open WRs. In contrast, the Crosby DL was disruptive from start to finish, and there were smaller windows to make throws. That's just me. I'm not a coach. That was my eye test. Against TC, PN-G was back in the business of giving away a win...we gave one to Nederland and then felt generous when playing TC. If the Indians play clean games against Nederland and TC, throw the ball to people wearing purple/white, and wake up the secondary and special teams coaches from their Friday night naps, PN-G would be sitting in second place. Instead, we give away wins. On top of that, last night during OT, we have 1st and goal, the OL had some momentum holding its own at the line of scrimmage, and Trahan is a good HS RB. The Indians do not give their run game a shot to score? Frustrating play calls in OT. Great play calls in the 2Q and 3Q. Gave our offense momentum. Frustrating 1Q and 4Q. We allow a wing-T team to throw the ball around like Joe Montana to Jerry Rice? Everyone in the stadium knows TC needs to steal a possession and will likely try an onside kick, but we do not coach up our kids to be prepared? In OT, we abandon the run game with 1st and goal? Giving away wins...frustrating. Kids gave good effort. I'll still be there next Friday watching the purple/white Indians vs. the green Indians. Go Big Purple! Good luck to the other district teams...Crosby...BH...TC. Get ready for a good playoff push.

Game is too easy to pick. Law of averages. @RaiderGirl2010 will be in attendance, advantage Vidor.

Short week and no Monday practice.. you get what you deserve

From his webpage, yesterday they tested him breathing without oxygen and using room air. I think he did better than expected and was able to breathe on his own however they put him back on oxygen to keep from stressing him. Yesterday he also showed response such as moving his toes on command. He was doing well enough today that they took him off of oxygen completely and also off of sedation.
