The entire week the town is in a frenzy. We have a parade that goes through main street where it seems the entire town is lined down the side cheering for all the floats and cars. Football game of course! Halftime show is most likely in the top 10 best in state!! Lights out, the band does a glow-in-the dark/ flashlight preformance and fireworks all during halftime. Vidor always kicks it good for homecoming! [/quote] top 10????????? you mean the best halftime in high school football when it comes to homecoming. vidor homecoming is beast!!!!!

[/quote] Indeed...  ;D [/quote] Or you could have her sitting up and the players could squirt out of the udders..... ;D [/quote] I was in Dayton yesterday evening and I can confirm they have already instituted this change.  There were a lot of "Bessie" types all over.  Just wanted to share a brief moment in time for you, in an effort to draw a picture for those who have never been to Dayton.  ;D ;D ;D I stopped at the NEW Shell station just down 321 from the high school and middle school.  I grabed a bag of ice and was only in the store for 3 minutes.  Here is what I experienced: * A woman (A.K.A. "Bessie") pulled up in a S-10 pick-up with a red hood, green left fender, and beige bed.  She had a fuzzy carpeted dash and a bed full of old tires.  She was wearing pink shorts that appeared to be cut-off warm-up pants, a white "wife-beater" shirt, no bra, cowboy boots, and purchased 2 bush beers.   * Next in line was a guy who was obviously drunk.  He stepped up to the cash register, then mumbled something and stepped (well stumbled) away.  I stepped up and paid for my ice while listening to him try and hold a meaningful conversation with a well dressed man who had his son with him.  I am guessing the well dressed man was trying to pass through Dayton and did not belong there. * While pulling out of the store parking lot, there was a very heavyset woman running accross the road carrying a small chile on her hip.  She had a plastic grocery bag uner her other arm.  She was wearing flip-flops that did not match and was yelling something to a guy accross the street.  The guy she was yelling too was a white guy who was wearing army boots, long camo shorts, and no shirt.  He was running back and forth in the yard pulling a bull-dog on a short rope.  The two got in a heated exchange and the guy appeared to be trying to get his dog after her.  There was another woman standing in the trailer door yelling somehting as well. * Around the corner I passed the school administration building and was to meet a friend who had invited me for dinner.  I have not seen this friend in a while, so was not sure what to expect.  I called his phone to see if I had my direction right, and unfortunately I did.  I was directed to a city housing project just down from the school administration building.  This did not exactly look like a place to be after dark, if you know what I mean. Upon arriving I found he, both his x-wifes, and numerous other people who were outside playing touch football.  After both his x-wifes flirted with me, I proceeded in the house, ate a steak and watched Survivor on his x-wife #2 60-inch LCD TV.   * After dinner I was worried about surviving the patch between her apartment to my car.  I went outside and felt much more comfortable.  There were 3 DPC cars, 4 Dayton police cars, and a few constables at the appartment accross the drive-way.  Upon leaving I rolled my window down and asked the cop who was talking to the car in front of me if I needed to stop for anything.  The cop laughed and said, boy that's a first.  Nobody stops from this place so we can see who's inside or what they are doing.   P.S.  The kids and adults playing football were not very good.      ;D ;D         [/quote] Dang smoking baby, why you gots to be all reporting troof on my peoples and what not? So, while smoking baby was hanging out with my peoples in Dayton, I took a field trip to the realest hill in America.  Heres what I saw: It all started at their one stop light, the only stop light on the realest hill in America.  I next went to the Dollar General to pick up some of those fine BH women.  Apparently it was fat lady in sweatpants day."Score", I thought to myself, just my type.  Well not only was it fat lady in sweatpants day, it was a BH lady friend smorgas board.  The store had everything.  I'm talking meth monkeys, half the quarters population, and a passel of lonely housewives in gym clothes who go to the gym during the slow time of the day because of low esteem.  I had to get out of there, because let's be honest, Tyrone loves all dem ladies. So i took my beat up bicycle and started peddling down eagle drive.  I didn't see an eagle, crazy right? And believe it or not, I had deja vu: Those Barbers Hillarians had the same imported workers digging the same holes on the same road as they did 4 months ago.  I thought to myself, surely the realest hill in america would hold enough intelligence to complete a simple project on the only road leading to the only stoplight on their grand bump, but sadly, this intelligence is no where to be found. So I keep on peddling with one thought in mind, "I'm going to find smoking baby".  So I peddle through neighborhood after neigborhood and knock on every unfinished cookie cutter home that I can find.  I ask everyone that I see, where is smoking baby? They all point in the same direction.  I finally reach my destination, the humble abode of smoking baby.  This house looks exactly the same as every other house on the street with a few exceptions (namely the rainbow flags flying above every entrance).   So I knock on the door and who answers but "Bessie" holding a bull whip and a quart of motor oil. She was wearing pink shorts that appeared to be cut-off warm up pants, a white "wife-beater" shirt, no bra, and cowboy boots.  I should have put two and two together when i saw the S-10 pick-up with a red hood, green left fender, and beige bed with the fuzzy carpeted dash and a bed full of old tires. I walked away, with the sad realization that smoking baby's case of Dayton envy was so strong that he would stoop to stealing one of our fine Dayton women. The joke's on him though, that bruiser had a Crosby Cougars bumper sticker on her beat up S-10. [/quote] That was some funny stuff there.. what the best part of it was half of it is fact.. [/quote]And now you fellers know my sad truth, I had to deeevorse "Bessie", the ol' bag jest wouldn't stop rooting fer them dang Cougars. Said she wanted to be one and then to top it all ah caught her wit some feller from Brenham tryin' to milk her udders. She din't leave me with nuthin but our sixteen chilluns, she took everthing else, my good ol' truck, those sexy pink sweat pants she used to wear when we'uz huntin' and my best wife beater shirt, boy I miss that shirt.

But Your right, I always remeber that year cause alot of people overlooked us comeing into district, since we barley beat a Struggling P.A team at the time and got murderd by C-mike and Company at Brook..So I know we can do it, I still think we go far in the playoffs..Im just ready for District [/quote] You're right dude, I musta been cross eyed by then looking at all those itty bitty numbers.

Vidor was in district 19-4a while Nederland was in district 20-4a. Both districts I believe were 6 team districts meaning they played 5 district games (to answer Bucof2010's question.). Back then you had Lincoln, Jefferson, LCM, WOS and PNG along with Nederland in district 20-4a and then Vidor, Lumberton, Livingston, Silbee, Jasper and Ozen in district 19-4a

I was wondering how often any of the current 20-4a teams have started with no pre-season wins only to end up with a winning (above .500) records so I did a little research. My cut off on this was 1960 to 2008 so this covers a total of 314 seasons for all of the teams. Out of 314 seasons there have only been 9 times teams have started with zero pre-season wins for a percentage of 2.8%. These records show that although you might have lost all of your preseason games, it is possible to come back and make some serious noise in district. The teams who have succeeded are as follows: Team           Year         Pre-season Record    District Record Central         2008                 0-2                      4-3  Shortened Season LCM             1962                 0-3                      4-3 Livingston     2008                 0-1                      6-1  Shortened Season Nederland     1988                 0-3                      3-2                  2008                 0-1                      4-3  Shortened Season PNG             1978                 0-2                      6-2                  1979                 0-2                      4-3                  1982                 0-3                      4-3 Vidor            2000                 0-5                     4-1  Most pre-season losses with a winning district record.  :) Also looked up the lowest points for and points against in an entire season for the same time period. :'( Points For-       Livingston 1968 / 10, Lumberton 1967 / 26 :o Points Against- LCM 1968 / 55, Livingston 1972 / 67

[quote name="smitty" post="847849" timestamp="1284553404"] You are right on the point situation.  But looking at the first 3 games, it appears, so far, that the elite teams are:  LC-M, Lumberton, Livingston, and PN-G.  [b]One can't rule out Central.  They have played fairly stiff competition.  So that leaves Ozen[/b] and Vidor that Nederland may be above.  I wish Nederland would have shown me something in the 1st three games to say they will finish  above all of them.  But I try my best to deal in reality.    [quote author=EX-Ceauxch link=topic=72900.msg847550#msg847550 date=1284499025] Smitty, I think they can get in at least the 4th spot. All they have to do is have 1 [b]more[/b] point on the board than there opponent about 6 times and their in. Just an observation...lol [/quote] [/quote] I'm not saying this just to be down on Central, Lord knows I don't like Ozen, but two of their opponents were the same as Centrals' and they played them MUCH better than Central did. In my opinion your assessment of Central and Ozen should be reversed because frankly I see Ozen making an easier run into post season than Central this year.

[quote name="atb63" post="847925" timestamp="1284563159"] I think that this will be a shootout.  It's great for the fans, but bad for the defensive coordinators. If it is a shootout, I have to give the edge to Lumberton. They have put some points on the board this year. I am not very familiar with either team, nor have I seen either team play this year. I am not sure if there is a home field advantage, but where are they playing the game, Lumberton, or LCM? [/quote] Actually atb63 on a purely point scoring basis LCM holds the advantage so far, when you don't add in the defense. They've scored more than us this year. Of course the game is played on both sides of the ball though and I think Lumberton has the advantage there. This should be a regular shoot out with a whole lot of points scored. I looked up the history of our matches and actually about a third of the time LCM and Lumberton has combined for over 50 points per game, if you add in the over 40 point total game that goes up to about 75%. I'm predicting this game could break the 100 point mark with a 40-something to 50-something end score. I think Lumberton will take it.  ;)
