Too many athletes to contend with each week. Especially if you get to the playoffs.

According to the info given me, Tiger Stadium now has a capacity of 10,000 after the semi horseshoe was added. If I remember from last time Lumberton visited Tiger Stadium, you guys failed to fill up the visitor side then. I don't see a problem this time around as far as having enough seating for Raider fans. ;) [/quote] The problem is parking, The Tiger stadium is second to none in hardin county [/quote] What's really funny about the parking situation is that it's 100% better than it was at their old field.

[quote name="NDN79" post="841754" timestamp="1283947149"] I think the "Kid" out-did the"oldtimer"! Thanks for the info on the fight song Bandkid. [/quote]Not really, bandkid as a musician like myself will eventually learn, to redo or rewrite a song, by changing it in any way is call "Arranging" a song. My post was mainly to correct his/her terminology is all. Frankly the Caisson song that Lumberton uses is more unusual in use than Cherokee, not saying I like it more or less and there is a school in Pennsylvania that I think does a better job on Cherokee because you can hear the kids singing a warcry in between some of the rests, at least on youtube that is.

[quote name="octfeb" post="841842" timestamp="1283958095"] Early wins few, far between for locals [Hidden Content] [/quote]Someone really ought to point out to Dave Rogers that it's called the "Beaumont Bowl" not the Beaumont city championship.

[quote name="prepballfan" post="841749" timestamp="1283946745"] This is Lumberton's game to lose. They better play there best game because Silsbee is very dangerous. Im not gonna make a prediction. The best team Lumberton has played this season. [/quote] The most important thing to remember about this game is it is similar to MCM although not as much hype. These two Hardin County neighbors always put up a good fight against one another and you can expect the same Friday night it wouldn't matter if either team were having a bad season or not, in this game all bets are off.

Ours was written by our band director in 1957, and lyrics were added in 1959. The only part that can even be construed as copied is the middle of the song, and that's farfetched to say the least. The introduction and conclusion are both completely original, while the main segment has several added parts and a completely different set of dynamics as compared to the song the notes themselves were taken from. There's a whole different bass line, a different instrumental arrangement, a counter-melodic fanfare for the trumpets, and a pronounced percussion part, in addition to various other differences. In other words, there is only one Cherokee. [/quote] Not quite, unless the band director sold that song to various western movies as it has been used in several of the earlier ones. My guess is that maybe he wrote your lyrics to the song but that's all. BTW a youtube search turns up another high school WNHS, not sure where they are from but they use the same song in a slightly different variation. Whoops, just found another school from Indiana playing it, song get's around for sure. Another one namesd Moniteau High in Pennsylvania [/quote] With Moniteau, the dynamics and phrasing are completely different, the instrument arrangement is... odd, to say the least, and they have a very different counter-melody. The notes for the melody may be similar, but the song as a whole is different. I couldn't find the other two. These other high schools may have taken from the same original copy (which is an old jazz song), but the product is different. You could call ours a variation of another song, but it's a variation that's unique to our school. There are similar songs, but none are the same, unlike most other fight songs. [/quote]In other words you are saying that it was "Arranged" by your 1957 band director, not written.

In reguards to the Vidor BC officials they were not biased they just were not very good at there jobs.  I dont blame them are any group of officials for loses because everyone makes mistakes but these guys were clueless. They were the worst I have ever seen and they were bad for both teams. [/quote] I agree,  I dont think they were bias either.  Just clueless.  On one of the holding penalties on Vidor, it took the officials forever to figure out how far 10 yards was.  These guys were bad period. [/quote] I agree as well. I mean i'm a twenty year old kid and i've been watching football since i was old enough to know what it is. And one of the things I've learned over the years is that the clock is not ran off of the score board. It is run off of a watch that one ref is supposed to have and keep track of and one of the biggest things to fans are clocks, especially when it means the difference is scoring and stuff like that. One of the worst calls i saw that night was when BC threw for what i think 40 or 50 yards to get within field goal range and the clock had 10 seconds left. I'm not gonna try and guess how much time would've been taken off if they clock would've started but i will say that it was simply terrible the way the refs just stood there for about half a minute trying to figure out what to do all the while BC was setting up for the next play. Then they just i guess forgot about the clock not starting and decided to let BC go on with the next play like nothing happened. And then when Coach Matthews threw a fit they decided to take the rest of the time off the clock AFTER BC had kicked the field goal making it even worse cuz we didn't even have the chance to atleast return the kickoff. That in my opinion goes deeper than being a bad official. That was crossing the line. [/quote] I can't comment on what happened at that game. I wasn't there but it sounds like it got ugly. As far as the clock thought you're  incorrect. The clock on the scoreboard IS the official clock and the only one we go by. If there is a problem with it, then we keep it on the field. Twenty is the perfect age to start officiating. We could use some fresh legs and young eyes!!!!!! [/quote] Now some official is more than welcome to correct me, but if I'm not mistaken, the Back Judge or a Side Judge actually keeps the official time, which is how a ref knows to tell the timekeeper in the press box to add or subtract time.

With no seniors logic and history says it should be Liberty then.

Barbers Hill 0-2 Crosby 0-2 Lee 0-2 Memorial 0-2 Dayton 0-1 Who will the last team be that finally gets a "w". This week Barbers Hill plays Nederland, Crosby takes on Pearland Dawson, Lee battles Terry, Memorial takes on Manvel, and Dayton plays Angleton. All 5 teams from 19-4A could be considered as the underdogs with Dayton maybe getting the nod in a very good contest against Angleton.
