Lions Pride 2021

Key pass interference at the goal gave Shepherd new life 28-26 Shepherd 42 seconds left. Damn.

26-21 Livingston. 948 left in Q4. Pirates take advantage of the good field position. It may come down to who has the ball last.

26-15 end Q3 Livingston still hanging in. 12 more minutes.

70 yd punt return. Livingston 26-15 with 258 left to go in Q3

20-15 Livingston 616 left the Lions can move the ball quickly up field when they want.

Shepherd goes up 15-14 with 801 left in Q3. Why the pirates attempt to throw the ball, I have no idea, it ain't working. They can run up the middle all day. Livingston will have to tighten up.

14-7 at the half. Livingston had chances in the last minute. Good showing overall.

Fumble then rumble by the QB for a 65 yard TD run! Lions back up 14-7 706 to go.

1 yard plunge Shepherd up 7-6. 807 left. Pirates doing whatever they want up the middle.

Shepherd picks up the fumble. Pirates at the Lions 19

We need a turnover chain That's two already!

Livingston stops Shepherd. Fumble recovery by the Lions at their 12.

6-0 Livingston end Q1. Shepherd driving with the ball at Livingston 15.

6-0 Livingston. 430 to go in Q1. Had a blocked extra point. Much better drive this second possession.

About 80 degrees. Nice weather. I'm feeling optimistic. Don't know if the Lions streak ends tonight but it should be a competitive game this second go round. Livingston is going to win this year.

I hate to say it, but Woodville wins this one by 6.

Beaumont was bigger in the 60s and 70s, well over 120k. It still is trying to get to that figure now. If you mean by growth that new shops are being built, I agree, but no one is really moving to Beaumont, which is a shame because it has a lot to offer. I'm hoping that BISD has fixed its problems. It would benefit everyone in the area if BISD was stable. I'm pulling for y'all. As for Houston, the last oil downturn has slowed the city proper's growth. It won't catch Chicago until the 2040s now since all the growth has been in unincorporated Harris county and the burbs.

Tried talking my son to moving out there and going to grand oaks. He wanted to stay out and make me continue to drive to work. It's a beautiful school.

Livingston Diboll is Friday

All of the people involved except the coach went on the record after.the decision was announced. It seems nice that he tried to help the kid, but if his parents said it wasn't enough, then let it go. If he had the best interest of the kid, let him go, don't be a crybaby because his family made a decision to put him in a better school and living situation. You shouldn't hold grudges against people that are doing what's best for them. The UIL and coaches shouldn't have this power, even if the move is for athletic purposes.

The article by Adam Coleman in the Chronicle does a good job of laying out the sides, except for the coach at North Forest, who declined to speak. He doesn't come off looking to good. By all accounts, Demas is making better grades at Tomball and is in a much better situation. Coaches shouldn't have this power. The district and state committee failed him. And if it was for athletics, I would feel the same way. Parents should be able to do what they think is best for their children.

Y'all might as well start planning for the fourth now. I wish I owned one of the trailer homes north of Texas 99. I'd sell it for a few million. Glad y'all are getting more schools.

Were it not for the census bureau adding Newton County to the count, Beaumont Port Arthur Orange would have had negative growth. Most census projections show the area shrinking in population by the end of the century. As for the plants, these new units only need 5-10 people to run them. The construction is temporary. The area really needs to diversify. It's not a good sign when Orange county doesn't have a hospital and they refuse to pay for one and Port Arthur loses one. Doesn't speak well for the health and growth prospects for the area.

The academics are much better at Tomball. If it was about football, he'd go back to North Forest. He said he's not. As he is a minor, he can't decide what school he goes to, that's on his parents. The coaches and UIL should have nothing to do with what a parent wants to do in regards to with his child. HISD is a disaster and the sooner the state takes it over, the better. He'll be fine at A&M.

Just saw it. Bad decision. He's staying at Tomball. I can't blame him. Shame on these crybaby coaches.
