Palestine is the matchup I was hoping for but they beat CH for the 3 seed correct?

That is true but it also looked like nobody on their defense could get off a block or make an open field tackle. Mabank must not have a very good record, they don’t tackle and they don’t block. We’d probably be better off judging CH against a better team.

Couple that style of offense with a strong defensive performance and I feel good about our chances. The only thing that worries me a bit is their big play ability but we have played many teams like that this season. We just have to wear them down and be within striking distance at the end. I’d prefer one of those dominating performances the Pirates have shown at times this year.

Sheesh, Mabank has no defense. Like literally, none… whatsoever.

Lindale then possibly El Campo… that’s a tough row to hoe for Lumberton. Probably the worst draw in Region 3, it will be impressive if they pull the first round upset. If they go and deeper than that, it’ll be amazing.

They look at point differential when there’s 3 teams tied, that’s when it matters how much you won by or lost by to your common opponents. Doesn’t really work with just 2 teams since you have that head to head result but it’s just to determine seeding. We had a 3 way share of the district title a few years ago but I can’t remember what seed we ended up getting or what our point differential was.

PHYSICAL SPEED

That’s not good, bad time of the year for that. I hear Vidor suffered one to a key two way player as well, hard fought battle of a ballgame for sure.

That’s awesome, good music too. That RB 32 had some wheels, love watching Vidor sling that ball around lol. Man those gold helmets were sweet.

MTC? The notorious MTC???

When we played them in the playoffs last year they had a big D1 RB who was a load and a tall D1 DE that they would bring in at WR to throw him the jump ball. I believe those guys are gone but they still have their QB who is really good and a couple of nice receivers from last years team. Their offense was a multiple set, balanced attack. Cowboys better wake up in hurry…

2nd might not be a bad thing, thinking I might rather play Palestine than Tyler Chapel Hill in the first round of the playoffs.

Yea I can point right to it lol our only loss of the season. Hurt me right in the heart and knocked us out of our snazzy new top 10 ranking. Jk though I hope y’all give the Etex champ a hell of a game, beat Kilgore.

Was that back in the Rick Colbert days or farther back than that? He was lightning fast and a great athlete but not necessarily a good QB for that type of offense.

Oh you were yelling at them to blitz huh? I’m pretty sure you were seated near me lol.

Yea it wasn’t your normal Pirate home crowd but I’m sure the wind got taken out of their sails by halftime. Their loss, missed a classic comeback and awesome post game celebration.

He does have a point there…

27-7 comeback midway through the 3rd qtr was the real story.

Yea I can’t remember if it was just a miss or if there was a block but I do know their first one barely made it over the crossbar. The kicking game does not appear to be a strong suit for the Raiders. This is coming from a Pirate fan, it usually looks like our kickers are peg legged and have an eye patch.

I was a lil jelly but now I’m glad we don’t have one… We got the crowd, the band and the guy over in section C row 7 seat 30 (that’s me) yelling at the coaches to throw the deep ball Pirates!

Kinda crazy the way they determine district champs these days. You can’t compare full season win/loss records? You can’t look at head to head results to determine the champ? We just give it to both or everybody who has the same district record, a 3 way tie I could understand with losses amongst the 3 but with 2 teams… come on now. This was determined on the field but anyhow, congrats to both teams. Co-District Champions and much luck in the playoffs to all the local teams. Sorry not you Huffman, SETXsports takes 1, 2 and 3 this season.

Yea but they definitely got some usage out of it… damn train horn was blowing me away in the 1st and 2nd qtr.

Ool but 👍 we own the 4th quarter all season.

Very similar to the Silsbee game, not as high scoring. Better defense in this one but similar game flow. What a way to bookend the season.

In 4 loses that’s crazy.
