Jasper beat Lumberton  :(

[quote name="raideroldtimer" post="1230885" timestamp="1339868748"] [quote author=SmashMouth link=topic=97758.msg1229865#msg1229865 date=1339430843] [quote author=dogpile link=topic=97758.msg1229309#msg1229309 date=1339124626] The problem in lumberton is NO PRIDE in the schools.  Some campuses will not allow the students to wear homecoming  mums!  The band marches on the the field in black...(bet you would not see  anyone from PNG step on the field in anything but their school colors!! ) middle school students are kicked out of athletics for getting too many tags (could be from tardies) and are not allowed to participate their freshman year.  really???? what happened to making them do GOLF?  I just wonder how many of these students will go down the wrong road now? take a look at their web sight ..... the only  sport to update their achievements was boys soccer; which i would assume was from  coach luttrell; which rumor has will be coaching at PNG. :'(  ....i could go on and on but my blood pressure is high...... so glad my kids are now out!  oh yeah.... what  happened to the lumberton baseball teams trophies and pictures that were in the case..... someone threw them out!  NOW that is SCHOOL PRIDE!!! PNG would have tar and feathered someone over that! [/quote] Sounds like you need to go back to PN-G!  Look, if the fact that the band marches in black is causing the Raider football team to lose games, then there is a helluva a lot more wrong with the program than anyone can EVER fix!  The fact of the matter is this: 1. Lumberton is at the bottom in the state enrollment for 4-A schools  (less players to choose from) 2. Hammerheads who are clueless calling for the coach's termination at every corner 3. Although Lumberton has SOME talent, they need a stronger core...like with the playoff teams from a few short years ago 4. A winning tradition backed by the community With all due respect (which is very little from the content of your mindless post), If a 3rd grader can't wear a homecoming mum, nobody in their right mind would associate that with W's and L's for the Raider football team.  The program needs a level of talent not offered with current enrollment; it needs support from the school district to fund the program and it needs support from the community who will stand behind the program...not complain about inconsequential sport updates on a website that almost noone visits anyway. Man...that feels better!  Keep the faith Coach Credeur...some people in this community still have a clue. [/quote] Just so you guys know, the Band Uniform slacks are Royal Blue (very dark) while the tops are mainly Columbian Blue. The royal blue started in a time when several different groups started changing their uniform colors, I always figured it was an attempt to get the school to change colors, even the football team slipped in some different colors. Thank God for the Raiderettes who remained true to our school colors. Now mote and more of the groups have gone back to the right colors on their uniforms. Hopefully the band will soon find a color mix that looks good and emphasizes our complete array of school colors. Lumberton has some good traditions, i.e. the Raiderettes, we just seem to have trouble transferring those loyalties and traditions to other activities, that's what I've always wished would change in our town. We have league leading soccer teams, cheerleaders, Raiderettes, a top notch band program and many other areas our kids excel at, we as fans need to just keep supporting the kids as a whole and not pick and choose. I don't have any dogs in the hunt here as my daughter went to school in California and north Texas but as an alumni I always make most of the football games and support all the kids participating, I try to make several soccer games, and basketball games, boys and girls. I also make an occasional marching contest, not every year mind you but I've been to several. To me this is what being a parent, relative or alumni is all about and Lumberton needs a whole lot more of this. [/quote] Great post!

[quote name="westend1" post="1227349" timestamp="1338410232"] I hate to knock it but I have been around a few kids who do it and I frankly haven't seen much difference. [/quote] My son did this the first year it came out.  There are about 10 levels.  My son ranked 4th from the top level on his initial tryout. The tryout consist of different speed drills, pull ups, vertical jumps, etc... After 4 months he moved up 2 levels, then we got busy and didn't finish.....He went about 8 months, twice a week. If you missed a qualifying day, you had to wait to the next month. I watched slower kids move up as well, but not to the top levels.  I think it does help.  Do I think it will take a slow kid and make him faster than average......no. 

I agree........ Just be careful and watch the weather.  I have seen my 22'6" center console boat be too small for sabine lake(and jetty).  I have never been scared, but when go down in a swell and can't see anything but water, it makes you more careful......lol

Didnt get me feet wet but I think it will work....

I'm out of town right now, so i can't physically go and see but judging from airial photos and reading up on Pine Island, it seems like my boat would not do well their. I have a 19' Nitro and a friend willing to partner up with a poster that has a 20' Skeeter. I have never fished there, so I really don't know. However, if you wanted to have a good river tourney, you could go a little farther north and launch at Steinhagen and have both the Neches and Angelina Rivers. Launching is no problem there and the rivers are wide. just a thought. [/quote] If we do Pine Island, you and your friend can launch first  ;D [/quote] haha! no thanks. last time i lauched where i shouldn't have, i liked to have never gotten out. glogged up my water intake in the process. [/quote] I'm afraid I will fall off the ramp :(

At first everyone was wanting to do it. Now no one has said they are for sure doing it. Lets get this thing done! I want to fish haha ;D [/quote] I have only said that I was open in May. At least one other person has said the same thing. Most people don't have boats. I don't see where anyone has agreed to anything except a couple of people have boats and a couple may not be able to make June. [/quote] It's always been tough setting up a tourney.  We have done two and I think best show was 4 or 5 boats.  I'm not even sure my boat will be able to launch there....I'm not sure how long boat ramp is.

[/quote] After MONTHS of consideration (and shopping) I decided on the Lowe, 17' aluminum.  It's similar to the style that I have now, but longer & wider w/ TONS of storage.  I think I'm gonna like it a lot.  70 hp 4 stroke. [/quote]  I went down this morning and looked at the AlumnaCraft 1860.  It's got a small tunnel and sponsons.  Looks pretty cool, but $13,000 for the boat and trailer(no motor), seems a little high.
