[quote name="raidernaytion" post="1234102" timestamp="1341584885"] [quote author=badndn link=topic=97758.msg1233064#msg1233064 date=1340829066] I have to agree with the notion that the Lumberton offense as ran last year was not to there advantage as it might have been in another district. We played Livingston 1st district game and struggled, faced Lumberton a few weeks later and did much better then faced Vidor late in the season and looked like a team that new what it was doing against the misdiraction running attack.  3+ weeks of preparation was a plus. Same thing happened the year before. Livingston gave us fits right outta the box, then Vidor our boys looked better prepared and finally against BH in the playoffs they looked solid. It really doesn't matter that the offenses are different, the fact is they are built around misdirection and learning the hard way early on not to take the bait is big advantage later in the season. [/quote] Now, that's using logic ! This person had a full grasp on the underlying issue before he posted. [/quote] Too bad you don't have even half a grasp before you post...please let it go.

Good and timely post Tragic...

[quote name="mytwocents" post="1233705" timestamp="1341277183"] This reminds me of a few years back when Mathews changed the Vidor offense to the slot t and he had several fans in uproar. Saying that they should let him go and what was he thinking and a lot of other things. Now look at him. Just took his team from 2-8 to 10-3 and won 4A coach of the year in DC magazine. ....just sayin' [/quote] Thanks for that comment '2cents...some people don't get it.  I'll bet Jeff will tell you a lot of his success depends not only on his offensive AND defensive strategy, but also the strengths of his players...the kids that have to go out each Friday night and turn you into a hero or a zero.
