Crosby didn't even receive votes?

Y'all could compete in 7 on 7 against Dayton with Grandma at qb!

I think y'all looked alright. Got some hard hitters on defense and O Line seems to be pretty good size.

Nice! I always like to see the new coach be successful in their first year. Good luck to y'all!

I was going to do this earlier but decided not to. Then I've seen a couple people inquiring about their teams, so i figured why not put it all in one place. So what's everyone's thoughts about their teams after seeing them in pads?? (BTW, I'm not looking for an argument of who is right and wrong, I just would like to know what y'all think. This is a Homer thread for sure!) ill start it off with Lumberton. I think we may surprise people this year. We started practice off with the ole Oklahoma drill which I figured only WOS was still man enough to do. But it sure was nice to see some hitting. We will have a true pocket passer this year, assuming we will utilize him. Ward looked like a BEAST in Oklahoma (keep in mind our practice was cut short so I didn't get to really see much.) Conway is looking like a good back up, so the future looks bright with him and the qb coming back next year. We will have two big targets at TE and WR. And offensive line has some pretty good size as well!! I didn't get to see defense a lot since we didn't get to do team defense so I can't really comment much there. But we have decent size there as well. Barely anybody if any is going both ways so we should have fresh legs on the field at all times. This SHOULD work in our favor if we don't have many injuries. Mentally this is going to help tremendously. We have players focusing on their positions for 3 hours straight every day at practice without switching over to the other side of the ball like we used to. No reason for mental mistakes this year. Overall, based on last years games we lost which were close, and the fact that we fumbled a LOT, if we can minimize that then playoffs are not out of the question for L Town. 3rd place isn't unreachable either (I know I'll catch some crap about that statement.) on a side note, I also keep up with silsbee pretty close. I've been going to their practice in the mornings and Lumberton in the evening. I'll leave the details to a silsbee native but I will say that Adonis is looking like the same beast we've seen the last two years plus a few more pounds of muscle, Barnes is barnes, and y'all will have at least two other threats at receiver as well. Collins has some good size and will make good decisions. Not entirely sure about him just yet, but I would be hopeful if I was a tiger. Thats all for now, now let's hear about yalls teams!!

Y'all please pray. They are life fighting somebody from our first practice in pads. Don't know who or any details yet. Just keep him in your prayers!

Wonder if 11 on 11 is as good as 7 on 7...

That's a fair assessment. I do disagree with the best coach part though. With Neumann gone I think that goes to Matthews.

I saw the same thing yesterday. Very nice offensive line!

I'm not gonna come on here and say that we will do big things this year, but... we do return a pretty good amount of people who last year had a loss to Livingston in the last seconds that should not have happened, and only lost to central by 1 point on a decision to go for 2 instead of a field goal. So don't count us out either just yet. We were a lot closer than what people realize to being a playoff team last year, and we will have better experience this year. Might just make things a little more interesting.

I'm wondering what the motive is behind this?

I heard some good things from my father in law this morning about silsbee. He was at the practice this morning then headed to Lumberton to watch us for a few minutes.

Can't wait till the first scrimmage this year.!

Good luck to all players and coaches today. Stay safe. Stay hydrated. Stay injury free.

At least I know where we stand, which isn't very good I'll agree. But I don't make us out to be any better than what we actually are... maybe you should try doing the same.. on a side note, we kept y'all to the second lowest points all year (only behind temple who "mopped the floor" with y'all), so out of all our districts you were able to score the least amount of points on the Lumberton Losers. Congrats, guess that's what you call mopping the floor with somebody. Good luck after Hines is gone, you must be short on memory and forget that only two years ago y'all lost to an ozen team who would then go on to put up a 3-4 record in poor little ole 22-5A.. y'all may win out this year, but I don't see y'all as a power house year in and year out. Towards the top of the district yes, but I wouldn't call you a powerhouse just yet. (Btw, we mopped the floor with ozen that year) Now, hopefully this post fits right in with the rest of the absurd posts on this thread that you have come up with.

Whenever y'all actually do something in 5A then you can talk. You said y'all are a "powerhouse" in our district... Tri district champs doesn't make you a powerhouse, it makes you average just like the rest of us in 22-5A. You talk like y'all have actually done something. Oh yeah, and go ahead and talk about Lumberton and how sucky we are of that makes you feel better. Fact is, your still not too impressive either.

Somebody take the keyboard away from Pakronos...

How is he a fan of Johnson wholeheartedly whenever he clearly stated that if he was on a different team he would just be an average player.. sounds kinda contradictory to me.

Looks as if some people can't stand the spotlight being on RJ.. this post reeks of a little bit of jealousy.

"Take him out of the district and PNG is sniffing the bottom." that doesn't prove anything except how good "Shug" really is. He was able to take a sorry PNG team (in your opinion) on a pretty decent playoff run. How many yards did he put up against y'all? Running and passing behind a sub par offensive line. Man, that whole post you just made only tells me how good he is, not how average he would be on another team. You put him on a team like Westbrook or wos with a strong o line and that's only gonna make him look even better...

I'm glad somebody finally acknowledged us lol jk!

Hmm... sounds like Crosby.

Yes sir! And I was at a few of Silsbee's two a day practices last year, coach smith believes in conditioning! So he will be ready to go

It can be done. Back when I was in school Hanna was a beast on both sides of the ball! Very rarely left the field along with several others.

No. We have a junior who will be playing qb.
