BH 2nd Nederland 3rd and PNG 4th. Point system

However if Nederland loses to KP they finish 4-3 along with KP and come in 5th Crosby will wind up 7-0 and BH and PNG will be 5-2 so they must win to finish 5-2. Therefore can’t have a down week

Way to go Bulldogs a big game vs KP next week. Enjoy this super win and do not let down next week. If you win vs KP you will be no worse than 3rd seed in district. What a great win Crosby 5-0 Nederland 4-1 BH 3-2 PNG 3-2 KP 2-3 TC 2-3 SF 1-4 Dayton 0-5

He was successful, but not his overall record and I agree with SmashMouth, let’s move forward

Coach Babin is a very nice well respected person. I have really like him and he worked extremely hard at Lumberton The majority of the players liked him and he increased the number of participants in football. He will do well in his next position and I surely wish him well However he was not very successful at Lumberton. He had a couple of playoff appearances, but if you look at his record it is slightly below .500. That should give everyone a good idea of how tough it is to win at Lumberton

You are certainly right on the high standards and tough skin

Nederland got beat by an over rated Lufkin team and only managed 21 against a PNG defense that is giving up close to 35 a game. I am thinking a repeat of last year where BH put a tail stomping on them. I love the Bulldogs but just don’t think they are very good this year

Their teaching stipend has everything to do with experience the longer you have been in the teaching profession the more you make coaching stipends are different. In football offensive and defensive coordinators get more than other assistants and varsity coaches get more than freshman or junior school coaches in other sports the head of that sport will get more than the assistant The problem is that the stipend scale at Lumberton is not very good

Money is important, however lumberton ISD pay scale compares to smaller schools like Orangefield, Bridge City, and Hamshire Fannett. Just about all assistant coaches teach in the classroom so their stipends are determined by their experience. I think they can get a well qualified coach. They need to make sure they get one ready to change the football culture. I am talking about one that will get the OL and entire defensive unit more physical. Also one that teaches discipline by eliminating mistakes and penalties. In my opinion, a strong defense has to be the #1 priority. A coach that will teach the importance of being successful in athletics, the classroom, and life.

Hoping the Dogs win but my take is that BH is more physical and has a better coaching staff BH 35 Nederland 14

Well I wonder why teams like Katy, Denton Ryan, Highland Park, Southlake Carrol, WOS, Aledo, and North Shore continue to always be successful. I know they usually have talent, but I also know that winning is extremely important to every class. They have a great desire to be like the winners before them. I would certainly say that is a mental aspect. Do the Lumberton players want to win? Sure they do, but they are so used to losing that if they win, they are happy and if they lose, it’s oh well we tried.

It’s fairly simple, they start getting that doubt as soon as they fall behind during a game. Example: oh no here we go again. You are correct about parents and coaching being a big part of it. I agree that being soft is due partly to the coaching staff. However , I also believe that winning must become very important to you as a player. Basically the parents, community, coaching staff, and players are all responsible for a winning culture.

Coach Babb did a very good job. He raised the participation numbers and worked extremely hard, He is a good man and cares for his players. I know going back and forth to Houston on the weekends to see family got old. Being with family was priority #1. He also realized that winning football games at Lumberton is extremely difficult. There is not much talent and the players are used to losing. They work hard but just don’t have the mental aspect of what it takes to win. Who ever gets the job is going to have to change the losing culture. All the best to coach Babin and his family.

As I always state, you must improve to continue to win. Got the win tonight but took a step back with no improvement will be at least a 14 point underdog vs BH. Hopefully will beat KP in 2 weeks to come in 4th, get a playoff berth vs FB Marshall and bow out at 5-5 which is an improvement from last years 4-7

Boy I really have to give the Vidor faithful a lot of credit. They are always a bunch of post for them. A big credit too their loving fans, especially since you can count on one hand the number of years they have had a good team

Certainly about improvement that is how you continue to win

Hopefully they will continue to improve each week. It’s going to take a thorough improvement to be able to beat BH and Crosby. If not 4th place at 5-4 and one and done vs FB Marshall finishing 5-5 not what you want

Another good win, as of now 3 way tie for 2nd with BH and PNG. Let’s continue to improve and beat Dayton for win #3 in district. Appears that defense played better, but struggled on offense. Must continue to get all 3 phases of game going. Hopefully this will happen

The Raiders started the season FRIENDLY and finished the season FRIENDLY. It will be interesting to see if the new AD/head football coach they hire addresses the major problem of being extremely soft and not being competitive. There must be a complete culture change and completely different attitude if the Raiders plan on winning

I certainly hope Razor is right

I certainly hope they can, however last year BH handed them a tail kicking and for some reason they do not play well against Crosby and they have to play both games on the road

Simply according to how much Nederland improves from last week. They must continue to improve. Texas City, Dayton, and Kingwood Park games are crucial for Nederland since I don’t see them beating BH or Crosby. I simply think they must improve each week. Remember that Lufkin is overrated and that tough loss to the Indians really hurt, so these next games are crucial in my opinion
