Hats off to Anahuac, we traveled down and had a hard fought game. Kids are physical and will fight you for 48 minutes. Good luck to the Panthers down the road! PS - it was good to be back in SETX for a Friday night!

Our QB is Khalan Griffin (Class of 2020) who transferred in from Chapel Hill/John Tyler. He was able to use his speed quite well last night in horrible conditions. More than a handful of long runs for him last night. Huntington is much more sound than I remember them being over the last however many years. Hopefully they will allow the coach long enough to work it all out. Those kids deserve a chance to be competitive, and I think they will get there if given time!

It's a matchup of contrasting styles for sure. Huntington wants to throw it around, but struggles. They will eventually just line up and try and run over you. We on the other hand, want to go fast and spread you out. With our new QB we have explosiveness at the position we have not had in a long time. The weather will be the ultimate equalizer tonight. Hopefully we can capitalize early before the conditions really deteriorate. It's going to be wet for sure. Luckily we wear different colored helmets so we can notice who is who! Huntington is looking better on film than I have seen them in quite some time. As a coach I will not make a game prediction obviously, but we will just have to agree to disagree on your score prediction. However, the turnover count in the mud is extremely critical tonight!

I'm disappointed!!! No one cares that I get to bring my guys down to Huntington tonight to play??? I figured there would be some talk about this game on here!!! All joking aside, I'm glad the weather has remained at least decent enough for us to get to play tonight on that lovely grass field tonight in our brand new road whites!!! Good luck to everyone tonight!

Surely you can bring @Lefty99 out of retirement for Lumberton games right?

Todd, I get no love brother? Game 1 has a special play-by-play appearance from yours truly!
