Boneyard Boys

Starting to think it’s a real possibility, being our first game who knows what you’re going to get. We could start slow and build going into district. I do recall dropping the first game last year to Montgomery 33-32. That would have been a W if the special teams personnel was set up the way it was the rest of the season. We gave up a bunch of points in that game, made a lot of adjustments and were pretty stingy the rest of the year. 33 points to a 2-8 team and around 14 average in district.

Welcome Expo! How does y’all’s district look over there, is El Campo running things this season? We also play Bay City, any opinion on their program?

Pretty strange right, starting QB for one program and on the bench for another program. I think he will do fine because he finished the season as our QB his Sophomore year and did pretty well.

I had it all wrong, its going to be a good game. MaxPreps only has JV highlights up, that's good though we need to be tested in these first 3 games.

I've been duped into thinking this will be a cake walk... Probably not at all looking at the box score, Brazosport definitely dominated their opponent last week. MaxPreps only has highlights of the damn JV game up though, same on Hudl. I'd like to get a look at their Varsity squad but I guess we'll get an up close and personal look Friday night.

Thank you, that would certainly make more sense. Some of those passes were, lets just say very JVish… I'll see if I can find the tape and form a better opinion. Do you have a link?

Just watched the video, Brazosport had -5 yards passing and Sweeny had -2 yards passing. The 2 picks looked like lollipop throws into the air for easy interceptions. I might be crazy but I think Vidor may have a better passing attack than both of these two teams... The Pirates won't know what to do going into a game with the passing advantage over their opponent. Brazosport had 148 total yards, most of that on 2 runs shown in the highlight. It does look like they have a couple of speedy backs but I just don't see this game going their way unless Vidor gives them a few gifts like Sweeny did. Sweeny had nearly double the yards but gave them 3 turnovers, 2 for touchdowns. Brazosport was 1 of 6 on 3rd down and Sweeny 2 for 7, the stats say this was an ugly game to watch. You know Vidor would put up 300 yards rushing on just about anyone in 5a, if the Pirates take good care of the football they win this one easily.

Boy wouldn’t it... too bad we ran out of Quirante’s. For a while there we had one or two every season.

For those who can’t believe it, Vidor slinging that ball around a little more this season. [Hidden Content]

😉

WOS?

I wish Vidor still played Nederland and PNG, they had a good long rivalry going but neither team seemed interested in keeping it going up until COVID took away the chance to schedule it. I’m almost sure the Pirates would give up their bye week to play anybody because they haven’t seen any live action game situations going into week 3 of the season.

To Silsbee or Jasper?

Maybe so but I’m not really sold on how well either team can compete coming off a no contest.

I’m calling it the ‘shot-t’ offense.

Reading the early posts it sounded like Jasper was running all over Silsbee and now all of a sudden Silsbee won?

Oh to be a Lumberton fan... I bet you wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Experienced team, no excuses.

Indeed.

Ok thank you and take care JDawg. We shall see, Silsbee got let off the hook.

I heard from this very board that Kville has lost all fight in their program and they will underperform this season due to their dwindling number of participants.

IMHO

Neither of these teams would/could beat WOS this season.

Vidor beats both of these teams this year imo.

The Trojans should be well protected vs Shepherd’s flock just as well as they fought off the Raiders tonight. Good luck to both teams going forward.
