Whew! need a score now.

Need some breathing room!

21-14 VIdor at the half.

Looks like EC is getting untracked. And we need to start paying attention scores involving our new district foes. Saw where Splendora and Livingston were leading earlier.

Yes indeed, playing at H-J or Jasper?

Wow, a lot closer than expected!

Sooner or later that will bite. Vidor playing their 2nd game vs a team that is playing their 4th, may be a factor in the mistakes.

Thanks for the play by play Boneyard, we appreciate it!

Yes, 1179 was the initial number released, but shortly after that the "official" number became 1206. Jeff mentioned the 1206 number in a TV interview right after realignment was announced and it's posted on the UIL website as well. Have no idea why the counts were different.

With the new 4A D1 cutoff number at 1229, I believe Lumberton will be the largest 4A school in the state, (numberwise), with 1222. Andrews number 2 with 1207 and Vidor number 3 with 1206.

You're right, Lee is not offensively challenged. Can't see the Pirates prevailing in a shootout with the issues we're having moving the ball and sustaining drives.

Agreed. I don't recall the offense sputtering like it has the past 4 games since the Slot T was implemented.

I'm thinking they do a lot of film study on Vidor offense.

Whew, excellent defensive effort! Game a lot closer than I thought it would be. Thanks Boneyard for your usual excellent commentary.

The way this game has gone for both offenses, that might ice it. Defense has played great so far.

Pirates have had some excellent starting field position lately. But only 3 points to show for it.

Looks like SF has the Pirate offense locked down again this year.

The team you're thinking of is the 2011 team, not the 2012 version. It was the 2011 team that went three deep in the playoffs, losing to Angleton. The 2012 team ran into a strong Summer Creek squad and lost in the first round. IMO that 2011 team was the best since the '64 12-0-1 semifinalist team.

Thanks for the excellent play by play Boneyard Boys, greatly appreciated.

Yes, he is. Has coached at several different schools since he left Vidor.

1999-2000 Eddie Hatch was the defensive coordinator you're thinking of.

Last year’s kicker transferred to Kelly for soccer. Current kicker has never played football til now.

Missed conversions in a close game are killers.

LH needs a little work on covering kickoffs.

Yes and good overall defensive speed always helps. LH has had some missed opportunities. The dropped pass on the fake punt and fumble at the LV 16 come to mind
