Started a sophomore QB the rest of the way. That team had two future NFL players on it. One was the second pick in the draft and I know you know who I am reffering to since I am aware you know Lee's history very well. My point is that good teams and good coaches can take a team and tweak them during the season or make big changes that they see will benefit the team. This move alone did not change their season but was a stepping stone that gave them confidence to play with anyone. Lee has almost always had this swagger about them and this comes from their ability to prepare their kids well. I hated Lee but respected them in every way because you can see the confidence they play with. Hopefully, for you they can regain this advantage so you can enjoy their season. All of the current 19-4A teams are, or should be, looking to gain this sort of advantage that gives them confidence to turn their bad performances around. I can say this as I support GCM for personal reasons, if they could get any discipline on the defensive side of the ball and every player will handle their responsibility on each play and help out second, then they will be successful this year. The offense will eventually come around but the defense needs to carry this team now. They have the ability to win most games this way. Each position has to be taught a role ans never waiver from that role. I imagine the other teams in 19-4A have the same issues and the first teams to rectify their issues and play as a team will be in that top 4. I have to believe that Lee could be there as well. They reallydo not have any less talent than almost any of the 19-4a teams. I saw their Spring game and one scrimmage. They have the ability to make the top 4 with the talent I saw. They lack to discipline I mentioned before. BH, in my opinion, does not have the talent at many positions that someof the other schools have, but has always played with discipline. They are struggling because of a new system but will catch on. They are smart players who realize they do not have to beat you with athleticism. No offfense BH, but it is an opinion and you do have some athletes just not across the board and nobody really likes to play you because of what I just mentioned. [/quote] This could be said about many teams. Like the post. If Lumberton had always had this philosophy maybe they would compete in 20-4a more often.

Will be good to see him so close to home. He will do well.

After seeing both play...... GCM 28 LCM  10

Lumberton looked good when running the ball and controlled the line of scrimmage. GCM looked undisciplined and consistently overran plays and allowing Lumberton to sustain drives running the ball. Both teams had a lot of penalties but GCM killed themselves over and over. L-town's defense found out they just needed to put 7 or 8 in the box and GCM's line could not keep anyone out of the backfield. GCM looked to pull what I am assumming was their starting qb and rb in the 2nd half probably so they would not get injured. L-town's qb missed on a few wide open receivers but hopefully the timing will get better. I will say GCM 1st QB looked pretty good if his receivers could hold the catch the ball as well as hold on to the ball after the catch. They fumbled a few which killed drives for them. L-town's "D" may keep them in most games. We'll see.

[quote name="raideroldtimer" post="827925" timestamp="1282322917"] Based on what I saw last week, Lumberton's D even without The Beast is even more stingy this year than last, the secondary could play in a little closer but I realize they are trying to offset speed differences some times. The O can move the ball although the question is if they can successfully move it in the redzone, not sure they were really trying to get across the goal line last week more than they were just trying to make sure they have their routes and plays down good. Wasn't GCM the 4th place team last year in their district, to me 3rd and 4th place are average at best and can be taken down fairly easily and yes I realize our last trip to the post season was as the 3rd place finisher, we went out the first round too. [/quote] GCM played Central and lost 7 to 0 as the third seed it says.

May be a good battle here.. QB for Dayton is undersized and run offense well but get in his face and it should make it difficult for him. Dayton should stillhave the advantage here.

What should we expect here? GCM made playoffs last year looks like much of "D" returning. How will Lumberton do losing best player last season? GCM looks to have large receiving core. Can Lumberton get the better here?

Saw this scrimmage last night and was impressed by the quickness from Silsbee. LCM looked out of sync and unable to finish drives in the red zone. Could not run ball to help open up the passing game. Seemed to be pressing a little bit after Silsbee scored a few times. They are probably a better team than they showed.
