From what I have seen over the last 5 years the 4AD1 teams from SETX just do not match up athletically with ET. Im not sure why. Maybe it is just cyclical. Btw, that Van-Henderson game is going to be 4 quarters of knock down, drag out football.
This was just not a good matchup for Lumberton. Henderson had a clear athletic advantage and Lumbertons one dimensional offense was tailor made for Hendo's D. I give y'alls coachs credit...they knew (imo) they were over matched so they tried to shorten the game by draining the play clock...they took chances by going for it on several fourth downs...they faked a punt and recovered an onside kick to start the second half. I know it was disappointing today but nothing wrong with making it a couple rounds into the playoffs. Keep working hard and next year maybe the results will be different. One more thing...95% of the Lumberton fans stayed to the very end of the game...kudos.
