The best thing that Vidor has ever accomplished. Sing it, y’all!!!

Plumb was in the fourth grade in 2019.

Hey, bud.... when you make the drive over to Historic Larry Ward Stadium in scenic Bridge City this Friday night, stop over by the North End Zone... there a monument to our historic State Championship team. Take a good long look at it. That's the closest to greatness you'll ever get.

You do realize that BC's new head coach ran the slot t as late as last season in Orangefield, right? They've seen it. Can they stop it? That's the question. I'm going to go with "yes." I think the real question is whether or not Vidor's "stout defense" can practice against the Slot T all week and suddenly know what to do when a spread offense takes the field on Friday night. It should be a good game between a smaller school that rightfully belongs down a classification and a much, much bigger school who should beat the tiny school hands down. But that's why they play the games, Plum. Give me the Cards to win a huge upset.

Ask Aggie how he feels about Silsbee's non-district schedule now that they're approaching district play with a lot of kids banged up. Personally? I'm sure Smalley enjoyed the chance to get his offense/defense installed and try it out in a few non-district games that weren't bloodbaths. And when the schedule was put together, K'ville had just wrapped up an 8-3 season. Heck, they're at 3-2 right now, even with the whupping the Cards put on them. They're not a bad team, we just made them look like one.

I have it from a good source that nobody wanted to play us. For real, though... the schedule was put in place by a guy who's no longer coaching the team. Maybe we should ask him.

Smash... you just called your team an easy out. I mean, they were, but still.... I expected more from you.

Gotta be healthy for District Play.

Maybe y'all should win games against schools half your size.

If you opt up to face bigger schools than your classification, that's alpha. Why did Newton collect all of those 1A/JV trophies? Because they, unlike BC, weren't willing to opt up. "We just play who they tell us to" says Newton fan on the way to a blowout win in the second round over some team none of us have ever heard of. Just a couple years back the Lyins from Livingston tried to cheat their way down for a competitive advantage. Not us.... we filled out the form opted up. And I distinctly remember just a few years back when Lum fans were GIDDY about dropping back down to 4A D1... then Vidor felt the same way two years later. All of those those schools and fanbases were ecstatic... they no longer had to face the larger, more talented schools in 5AD2. Every year on snapshot day, Lumberton fans celebrate on this very board if they stay under the 4ad1 cutoff number. Did they "flee" down? Nope.... and we didn't "flee" up to face bigger schools, either. The only people calling it a "Loophole" are the ones that either 1) just got beat by BC or 2) are worried they're about to get beaten by BC. Y'all wouldn't be complaining if we were 0-4 after moving up. That's beta.

I think I deserve a pass because I’ve been the lone BC athletic supporter here for 6-7 years.

Get him!

I think we’d be competitive with Silsbee, Jasper, and WOS… BC hasn’t even watched film of a team as good as HF.

I think it would be a competitive game, especially is Silsbee is fighting off the injury bug. I wouldn’t bet either way, though. I went to the BC/Silsbee scrimmage… Our defense needed a little time to settle down, but nobody scored in the live action quarters. BC’s defense is without a doubt better than Silsbee’s, and our QB looked better than anybody on the Tiger’s roster. We could use more athleticism, though. I’d give the coaching edge to BC, also… Smalley makes adjustments. I think it would be a good game, either way.

“Technically”, I guess. But a win over Lum > a win over the Lyin’s. And HJ got thumped by EC while the Cardinals remain unvanquished. Advantage Peckers.

Get it straight…. We opted to a larger classification and we’re leading the district. Who else is doing that in SETX? No one. Show some respect.

I thought the same thing hut didn’t want to say it. Whenever we have a good team (for us), y’all have a GREAT team (‘16) or we don’t play each other.

You realize that y’all have adopted our ways, right?

Faced a little adversity tonight. Lumberton scored first, and the cards answered back, then never looked back. We played sloppy at times and our conditioning was bad. Too many mistakes that Lum didn’t make us pay for. My assessment as of this week: we’re not “the real deal” at this point in the season. But I think we have a good shot at making the playoffs in this district if we stay healthy. Lum has some work to do.

Our conditioning isn’t good. Lotsa cramping.

Why isn’t LUM keeping that Williams kid in the backfield?

Lum only has two chances… one’s fat and one’s slim.

I was talking about the RB getting loose.

He’s not getting into the secondary tonight. The holes aren’t opening up for him.
