Lots of starters return, but is that really a good thing from a team that won only 1 district game? I will say this, that soph RB, i believe Hanna is his name is going to be a HOSS. He was the player for Lumberton that impressed me the most. Y'all will mop thru pre-district again and then play against the big boys and end up around .500 is my guess.

3RD ROUND? For all intents and purposes the 3rd round is a stretch. A state ranked and loaded Lamar Consolidated team is waiting for us in round 2 if we get past GP and they get past Friendswood. We would be a huge underdog in that game with or without a secondary. I just hope we beat GP so we can play them. I'll make a side bet with you though, Nederland will get further in the playoffs than Crosby will. At worst it'll be a tie. Dayton is for real.

So, does this mean that Crosby will lose 1st round since they lost to PN-G who did not make the playoffs? Probably so... but Dayton is the reason y'all will lose, not PN-G.. Just like for Nederland, the team that beats them in the playoffs is the team that will cause their season to end, not the loss to Vidor 2 months ago.

I can't think of several... but a few that I thought could play D-1 if not for baseball were... Brad Sullivan--- not as a QB though Dustin Hood Also, I thought that these two had the size and speed to play D-1.. Troy Sumrall Ryan Piletere I definitely think Micah can play D-1. I would love to see him go somewhere like Tech or U of H, a place that would utilize his running and receiving skills. Any word on how the recruiting is going and who is recruiting him?

Comparing Justin Williams to Michael Mosley is not comparing apples to apples.. 2100 yds and 30 TD's against a below average schedule in 10 games.. Mosley has 100 yards and 3 TD's less and missed a game vs. Central and was hobbled by injury in a few more. Also went against two of the best defenses in the region vs LaMarque and Dayton. I would think Mosley would be well over 2500 yards, probably more vs. the competition that Deweyville plays. But, you do have to take into consideration that Mosley has a great O-Line as well. So, these comparisons are really not fair. I have not seen Justin Williams play live and I am not taking anything away from his great accomplishments this season. But, to me Mosley's numbers and the competition he has faced are much more impressive.

i agree.. i dunno who the heck is taking us to win state.. there are SIX people.. we will be a considerable underdog in every game if we get out of the first round and that is a big if.. i'll be there too root this team on, i enjoy watching them, but maybe i am missing something.

i would not call what y'all did that night as stopping mosley. he had 171 yards rushing and missed about 10 game minutes due to an injured ankle.

I will be going to the EC/Hemphill game in Lumberton this Friday. I am looking forward to seeing the Bucs play. My girlfriend has a cousin that is in the drill team at EC and I have been listening all season to how good these guys are! I am looking forward to seeing them in person.

EC 41 Hemphill 20

Respect is EARNED, scoop..

Actually, the improvement in the Ned defense has been against the run. We are much softer against the pass. We are still far from being a good defense though! Should be a scoring fest. I have heard that GP can't D up either.

Nederland 38 Galena Park 35

Dayton 42 Crosby 13

Central 31 BH 17

DeJohn and Garza should put up some good numbers tonight and possibly career highs.. Too bad they will be overshadowed by MICAH MOSLEY playing his final home game in Nederland. I am prediciting a career night for Mosley as well.

I was talking trash about the pre-season hype you guys were spewing, not about Friday's game. Frankly, I have no idea if we will beat you guys Friday night or not. All I know is this district is sending a very mediocre 3rd place team this year no matter who it is. I don't think we can stop y'all's passing game and I do not think y'all can stop Mosley. That's not trash talk and you have to admit that Lumberton thru the years has much more Thursday night success than Friday night success. Do you care to argue that?

Of course Lumberton won the sub-varsity JV game.. They are like 8 billion and 0 the last billion years remember. They definitely know how to play on THURSDAY nights.. With that being said, I am not talking trash about Friday.. I am worried about the game due to our pass defense problems, injuries, and players that we've lost to grades.. I just pointed the stuff above out because this is ALL this board heard about when Lumberton was mopping thru their pre-district joke of a schedule. I think Nederland will pull thru because I don't think L-town can stop Mosley, but I think it will be a close game.

I agree.. If you polled the entire district on which player they would most like to have, then the answer would most probably be Williams.. No argument from me on that one.

C.O. Wilson in Nederland.. 8-0 A team and 8-0 B team. Combine those guys with the talent from Central Middle School and the future looks bright in Nederland.

With all due respect to 21-4A, Nederland is down this season from their usual, especially on defense, but I do not think there is a team in that district that would spank us. I think the best in that district would be fighting for 3rd over here with the other mediocre teams. And, if you guys really think that BH is going to beat Central, then I will book all the action you want on that.

I am a big Nederland fan and am not sure who these high quality backups are... This is the least depth that Nederland has had in as many years as I remember. I think what we will see is even more guys than usual going both ways. Mosley may not come off the field this week. As long as he can take it physically though, that is a good thing for us.

It's gonna take a team effort to win this game. Lots of adversity this week.. Playoffs on the line, 4 starters lost due to grades, a couple of starters out due to injury, and the team is not deep anyway.. We need some long, time consuming drives and pound Mosley at them to keep their offense off the field and physically wear them down.. This game has me concerned, but I think some new guys will step up.

4 starters lost due to grades.. gutierrez out for injury and benefield probably out as well.. gonna be a tough game, that's why i am not sure why all our fans are automatically assuming this victory..

I'll go with 35-14 Dayton.. PN-G is about as good as Nederland and has the same weakness in pass D.. Their offense is not as good as Ned's, but I feel like Stewart will get a 20 point lead or so and start subbing to prevent playoff injuries.. Dayton is the class of this district followed closely by Central and then a HUGE GAP to whoever the third place sub-.500 team ends up being..

Russell, There is a good chance I will be there. I am not 100% sure we will be playing next week.. Our pass D is not good, we have an injured DE, our fullback is probably out, and we lost multiple starters to grades or at least those are the things I am hearing. Looking forward to seeing Garrett play.. Also, a buddy of mine was on the sidelines at y'all's game a few weeks ago and was raving about your QB's arm.
