Vidor wins on the road 42-36 in a rare triple overtime game.

I’m hearing all classes and events are canceled for tomorrow, so I’m guessing no game. The schools are so close maybe they can play it Saturday but with so many people effected in both towns they’ll probably just cancel the game all together.

I feel the same way unfortunately, going down a classification would be good for all Vidor sports but not if you lose players from people moving out and not coming back.

Well to be fair, last years QB was moved to defense last season in favor of the JV QB being moved up for the last few games. Problem is he was being worked as the starter all off-season and then moved to PNG just before the season started. Coach is going with the backup who took over on JV last season, younger player who he has another year with. Plus he can use the other player in multiple positions, so he’s working with what he has. Could pay off in the long run when we’re competing for a 4a DC next year. Wishful thinking but hey it could happen.

Looks like there might not even be a game at this point... with all this rain we’re all going to be walking the plank!

Yea and a lot of our better athletes have chosen to specialize in other sports but you’ll have that. I have heard that some schools make you to play football in order to be in any athletics. Not sure if it’s true but a buddy from Lumberton was telling me that.

I wish I could tell you for sure, probably 40 kids or so suited up with a handful out injured.

That could be a problem for y’all, that’s why I’m thinking Vidor makes a late charge to seal the victory. Hopefully you guys will be fighting for a DC this year and hopefully next year we will be fighting for the same DC if you know what I mean.

The only thing worrying me about our offense thus far is that I haven’t seen as many long explosive run plays that we usually have and when we have broke some they were called back for penalties. The defense has been fine other than containing the one explosive athlete WR that Montgomery had. The special teams got cleaned up, starters all the way across the kick teams now. I understand that LCM has some playmakers this year so we will see if the Pirates are ready for something similar to what Crosby will bring.

Yea good point, this one is only for bragging rights.

If our pass rush and defensive backfield show up we will be fine guys. The offense hasn’t looked great but I still think we will be able to move the ball and score on LCM. Montgomery would probably beat LCM and we did everything we possibly could to let them have the week one win.

We lost some very close low scoring games those years...

Vidor with a comeback win in the second half 35-28.

Ah, yes I believe that was him.

Y’all got Rivers and Anderson on that BU team? A couple of names I remember from the youth sports football board and standout players that gave us headaches back in the day.

Vidor took the lead with 2 min left 32-27 but lost on the last play of the game, short touchdown pass 33-32 final. Tough way to lose but we made way too many mistakes to deserve the win. Lots of big plays from Montgomery, mainly WR85. First downs were probably 25-10 in Vidors favor but we didn’t finish a couple of drives. Also missed an extra point and a couple of 2 point conversions. But we got out of there without any major injuries so it’s on to the bye week and then two games we should have a good chance to win before district play begins.

My kid said that Vidor was winning 6-3 late in the game and decided to throw the deep ball Pirates which got intercepted. Silsbee then broke a long touchdown run to win the game 10-6. So I take his word for it because he started and played most of the game on defense. It’s possible he could have omitted a late score from the Tigers but that was not communicated to me. So what say you, he left something out to lessen the loss for old dad or accurate reporting from my son? All I can tell you is I watched the first half 0-0 defensive struggle and neither team did much on offense. Someone please tell me what happened in the second half, thanks.

42-39 final

Sorry... I’ve been waiting a while to say that.

Vidor Wins! VIDOR WINS!! VVVIIIDDDOOORRR WWWIIINNNSSS!!!

Good shooting night for Dayton is what I heard but Vidor is in a rut. Lost a bunch of close ones and will drop the occasional stinker like this.

107 to 80 high scoring offenses on the floor or questionable defense?

10?

Thanks
