I guess it is good at least their leader is somewhat grounded with reality.

These Lumberton posts are becoming more and more comical. It is great some of you guys support your team....it really is, but don't get too cocky. You guys have one win, a win against a down team in New Caney. Scrimmages meant nothing just ask Barbers Hill or even Nederland. You guys have to learn how to walk before you run and you guys have just taken one step.

This is a totally inaccurate statement. Sterling didn't put any real points on the Tiger starters. It was 54-12 when Silsbee substituted in the 2-3 strings early int he 4th quarter.

So is it safe to say if he goes down the team goes down? I have seen teams ride the "horse" before only to be disappointed late in the season when an injury creeps up ending their chances.

Silsbee's Chris Castle busted through the Sterling def for a nice td run late in the game.

I had to head out early in the 4th. With aproximately 7-8 minutes left it was 54-12. Silsbee pretty much had the starters out going into the 4th. Sterling has some great athletes. They had some good size and speed. I was a little disappointed in their discipline however. They had some stupid errors that cost them at inopportune moments. I have never seen a team get a delay of game penalty before the 1st kickoff of the game. :shock: Sterling ran the spread and had an awesome athlete in #21 Duckworth. He is the real deal. He made some big plays when it looked like the play was doomed. Silsbee's line was dominant. The rbs were having a track meet. I have no idea what McCarter's yardage was but I believe he might have eclipsed 200 yards with 4 tds. I seriously doubt that there is many players in the area with this kid's speed. He was in a whole different gear. Calhoun was solid and made numerous strong runs. Sterling simply could not answer the Tigers ground game. I was highly impressed with the way the Tigers played and will be looking forward to see how PNG adjusts to the Tiger ground pounding.

For those over in the area they are having some BBQ dinners and a silent auction with UT,A&M,LSU, and other items up for a silent auction. I believe it goes until kickoff at WOS hs. The proceeds go to help Silsbee's coach Hickman and his wife Chrissy the WOS business director. They lost their son (my nephew) 3 weeks ago to cancer. I wanted to drive over myself but unfortunately am running a little too late.

Amazing what a few weeks can accomplish. Looks like a lot of folks have been shifted around for Silsbee. Three weeks ago Nederland couldn't score.

Where is that at?

I think most need to understand how the rankings have changed from last week. You might as well toss last week's ratings out as the formula is now different.

I hear they have good athletes and will throw it up, but that their lines are suspect. I hope the Tigers do well, but they got to get the qb to settle down a bit.

Looks good. It is nice to see the smaller schools at least get a mention.

I envision a high powered offense in PA. Nothing like high scoring to get the fans going.

I would say it was definitely in poor taste, but Reliant is not school property.

Let this show that scrimmages mean jack.

Pierce Rhodes (Kirbyville) -- 6-121, 3 TDs :?:

This is absolutely astonishing. We have a scrimmage where the game is controlled, only a mere 3 10 minute quarters, no real special teams play, and a full quarter of nothing but backup players to observe the team depth. I guess if you want to base your season on a scrimmage so be it. It is great to feel positive about your team. It would be about time for Lumberton to improve somewhat in this sport, but be realistic about what the past few weeks were really about. Silsbee nor Lumberton had the entire gameplans at these scrimmages. Each of these teams will see "real" losses this season. I would think if you wanted to talk smack it would be after a few games that at least counted. I remember a Paris team taking a few early season setbacks all to come back and beat a certain team in this area for the state title once. :wink:

So did they have the starters in there most of the game or were they still running new kids in and out?

It will take some time for the offense to gel but Silsbee has some good size and the ability to take it to the house. I hope they start strong this season.

If an upset occurs Liberty over BC. I could also see Livingston over Jasper if Jasper has trouble stopping the triple option.

We used to have KWDX 101.7 until it was bought out. I miss ol JP White and his ramblings.

Our scoreboard is still AWOL.
