[quote name="PhatMack19" post="684959" timestamp="1256396671"] One thing that may help Nederland, is that Livingston runs a similar offense to Vidor.  The Nederland defense started to figure things out in the 2nd half.   Neumann should have them ready to go against Vidor. [/quote]Remember LCM beat Livingston and scored over 40 against them. We scored 49 against LCM last week and they only scored 15. We are not Livingston! ;D

WOW the running game looked geat, but I can't say enough about the Defense tonight! We need to do the same thing to Nederland next week!

[quote name="bojangles" post="684106" timestamp="1256335077"] Vidor faithful, enjoy your 15 mins of fame. This is your "stars align and everything goes right" season is now. very much like the 07 team from Lumberton that had its most upper-classmen ever on the field, had played from 7th-12th grade for nobody but Credeur, and it all clicked. you will lose the majority of your lettermen as the Raiders have already and you will be forced to reload. much like last years TX Tech team that beat my longhorns...they had a great year coming, its over and now they return to mediocrity. [/quote]I'll take it!

It is not luck when a fumble is caused. What bad luck caused Lumberton to lose to the team we beat 21-7? [/quote] OH!  Because the PIRATES couldn't beat them no one can beat them ....... what a joke ....... L-TRAIN needs to step up and do what Vidor is incapable off ...... :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* [/quote]Thats right they need to step up and win, and if they can play like you run your mouth they may have a chance!  :o

[quote name="PNG Proud" post="683400" timestamp="1256257208"] I give the nod to Nederland.   All they really have to is stop the run.  Livingston has no passing game at all. [/quote]I think another thing they have to do is hold on to the ball. The battle of the turnovers will decide this game!

[quote name="KFDM COOP" post="682740" timestamp="1256180573"] If LC-M were to win that would really throw a kink in everything... [/quote]I really hope there are no more KINKS! We need this and won't take it for granted! Mathews said he has a great game plan ready for this game! Hopefully there are a few passes mixed in at the right time, and a whole lot of pass defense!

[quote name="Hookem17" post="682105" timestamp="1256135228"] No disrespect to the PNG faithful, but you better bring it friday night.  Its not going to be as easy as all the critics are projecting.  Lumbertom could easily be undefeated.  No excuses for the trains losses but they are a solid team [/quote]"Lumberton could easily be undefeated?" WOW you know what they say about a Frog having wings right?  ;D I guess my Cowboys are a sure bet to win the Bowl this year also right?  8) Have you been watching Lumberton this year? Just not jelling!!!!!

[quote name="NDN79" post="681952" timestamp="1256097670"] Gotta go with the Dogs in this one. Livingston has to be emotionally drained after the loss to LCM last week! [/quote]Or motivated and looking for blood! ;D

[quote name="shovelhead" post="678995" timestamp="1255824165"] I like this thread. There are 3 weeks of very good district football left. I like (and wont argue) with your picks, but I will say this. District 20-4A is loaded. Anything can happen on a Friday night. I'm impressed that LCM could come back from being down 35-7 in the 3rd quarted and beat Livingston 49-41! I'm impressed that Ozen took a good one from Lumberton. The next 3 weeks will be as interesting and fun as the first 7! One more thing I GOTTA say. The Vidor fans on this board finally saw what I've been seeing all season. The Indians made believers out of them. I do hope the Indians and Jags get to play for the district championship. It would be an awsome climax to a wonderful regular season. There are just some hungry teams left that will try to keep it from hapening. We'll see [/quote]PNG will represent the area well. I just want to see my Pirates go at least a few rounds deep this year, but we still have to beat a few local teams. Starting with the Bears! ;D

[quote name="setxathlete14" post="683161" timestamp="1256237219"] LCM stopped a district leading offense that runs the same thing as vidor in livingston... vidor has trouble stopping the pass. should be a decent game.. [/quote]I believe I saw somewhere Vidor has the second ranked D. ;D

[quote name="Domination Station" post="683385" timestamp="1256255589"] Raider Nation:  Let it go.  We're all frustrated and there's nothing we can say to change our position.  Now, maybe after tomorrow night.......   [/quote]It will be really tough for Lumberton to make it. You still have some tough games ahead and Ozen can close you out with 2 more wins! But anything can happen in HS football! ;D

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="682948" timestamp="1256223216"] Well, I can sure hope that it stops raining and it is sunny the rest of today and all day tomorrow!  ;D  [/quote]Hopefully the north wind will do some drying! Central takes this one easily! ;D

[quote name="NDN79" post="683381" timestamp="1256254998"] you really are not doing your team any justice by saying that if they don't make the play-offs, then the teams that do won't get very far. Half of the district is going, if your team doesn't then don't put the others down because you are mad and disappointed! Every team gets lucky and/or unlucky breaks through the season. It's the teams that adjust to those breaks the best that end up succeeding. Don't bring your team down by whining about what coulda/shoulda been! [/quote]I agree totally NDN! ;D

[quote name="KFDM COOP" post="682731" timestamp="1256179997"] Head to head yes i think so. [/quote]It is getting interesting, if Vidor gets a win Friday we will be getting very close to making it in depending on everything else that is going on that night!.

[quote name="KFDM COOP" post="682716" timestamp="1256179370"] Ozen has a tough schedule though. [/quote]Yes but if they win one more game they shut out Lumberton right?

[quote name="KFDM COOP" post="682691" timestamp="1256178105"] Don't count LC-M out! [/quote]Here is LCM's schedule. Actually they do not have to play the 2 top teams so it is easier than most. I am predicting them to lose all three of these games, but they could be in all of them and could actually win one or two. I do think it is unlikly they will win all three and I think that is what it would take to get them in. Oct. 23 @ Vidor*, 7:30 p.m.                              Oct. 30 Lumberton*, 7:30 p.m.                          Nov. 7 @ Beaumont Ozen*, 7:30 p.m.               

[quote name="PN-G bandkid" post="682696" timestamp="1256178383"] If Ozen loses to both PN-G and Central, then this is going to be a tough call and may come down to a coin flip. [/quote]I went back and looked at the combinations and actually Ozen will be tough to knock out. For Lumberton to beat them OZ would have to lose out and Lumberton would have to win 2 games. Neither is likely as far as I am concerned. This is considering OZ beat Lumberton head to head.

Another question comes to mind. I have been assuming this, but if it works out the way I have it laid out Lumberton and Ozen would be tied and since Ozen beat Lumberton head to head they would go to the playoffs right? If so Ozen would have to lose out and Lumberton would have to win at least 2 more games in order for them to take the spot. Is that correct?

[quote name="PN-G bandkid" post="682681" timestamp="1256177565"] So Central and PN-G both have secure playoff spots... Any predictions on who snags the last two spots? At this point, it looks like Vidor and Ozen to me, which is interesting because that would put three of the four District 20-4A teams with new coaches in the playoffs. [/quote]I don't think it is likely to be OZEN. Too many tough games left  for them to play.

You know I think that is right.

Not sure about this one, but I think Livingston pulls this one out!

I agree with this assesment. It seems the coaches get together and agree to either play at one of the home fields(unlikly) or to go to another field.
