Why not have confidence ,ya'll facing the #1 defense in the entire STJFL.

THEY ARE MORE QUICKER WITH MORE PLAYS. ALL YALL RUN IS THAT WEIRD OFFENSE WITH LIKE 8 PLAYS IN IT. AND IM SURE THATS NOT HARD TO FIGURE OUT FOR A SMART TEAM. BUT GOOD LUCK TO BOTH OF TEAMS. GO SENIOR NEDERLAND.[MY TEAM] [/quote] If I'm not mistaken, that crazy offense is undefeated.  Their defense is strong as well.......should be a good game.  WOS has speed and talent, but I say Lumberton takes it by 14 points atleast  ;D

I'm skinny.......but I got speed!!!!

HHMM IN JUNIOR ,SB  ,, LUM (white) vs WOS     I'll take LUM In senior     SB  LUM vs LUM      I'll take LUM (white)  Yes Im taking LUM In them all  , although I do think  I'll will be a much tighter race in the PEEWEE DIV [/quote] So, since you don't think the Jr. game is going to be close, do you have a prediction on the score?

Nobody is going anywhere, especially to Beaumont.  The raider fans are still here and we still have a chance to make that fourth playoff spot.  You're just another one of those idiots on here who don't know what they are talking about. Get a life. [/quote] I have nothing against the TOWN of Lumberton. I am from Baytown, TX. I am not an idiot. I know what I am talking about. I have a life. Thanks for your concerns. [b]1. Where are YOU from? 2. How long will you stay? 3.How and why did the population of Lumberton grow SO fast?[/b] Don't hate, elevate! [/quote] Those are easy questions for me........ 1.  I'm from Port Arthur 2.  Until my Son completes High School and probably longer 3.  The crime rate in Beaumont on a scale of 1-10 is a 7.  Lumberton is a 2.  To me, that is huge if you want to raise your kid in a safe environment.  The school districts are also rated better concerning education. Beaumont compared to the state is given a 3, and Lumberton a 6. So, those are the main reasons I moved to Lumberton. How's that for an evaluation?

My mistake. The rest of the analogy stands. How many coaches are no longer in the coaching field either because of age, monetary needs or other factors? I believe Coach Harper from Burkeville left the profession a few years back to take care of an ailing family member. He is now back coaching. If your not currently employed as a coach does that mean you know nothing of coaching? [/quote] Let me ask you a serious question...are former or retired coaches like Coach Harper in the stands screaming their guts out, criticizing the coaches on the field?  My point stands as well...that the few Pee Wee coaches who think they are God's gift to coaching are the ones that would look ridiculous going head to head against that same high school coach they criticize.  It's a different level when the kids are in high school and popping each other at trainwreck speed.  The game moves a whole lot faster.  Again, if you read my comments here, you will see that I differentiate between discussing a coach's and teams shortfalls on here WITHIN REASON, and the "foam at the mouthers" in the stands that wouldn't recognize a safety blitz package until it came up and rang their bell. [/quote] It's all about class. I have coached youth sports(bb,b-ball & fb) for about 3 years. I have been cursed & criticised by a few parents. 99% of the parents and fans are fine, it's that 1% that is the problem.  And the ones that always complain have bigger issues than a game.

Does Vidor have coaching position available? ;D

I really hate to hear that! No matter how much you agreed or disagreed with him, losing your job sucks period! I wish Dickie the best.

I agree with ya proud..........I still hope Lumberton takes it! If not, then I will support PNG......I lived there for a few years

Lumberton: Pissin in the Wind..........Jerry Jeff Walker I'm a Lumberton Fan, but I'm just sayin ;D

There are several things from peewee to jr. that are not right.......and I might agree because of your seed, you should pick you time....at the same time, be happy you get to play that day.

Here is the schedule (jr) from this year concerning 8:30am games: Week 1 8:30 AM NED - WHITE versus OF week 3 8:30 NED - BLACK versus BMT - GOLD week 4 8:30 NED - GOLD versus PNG - GREY week 6 8:30 AM NED BLACK versus VIDOR - WHITE All of these were played in Nederland. I have not heard orangeField, Beaumont, PNG or Vidor complaining. BTW, most teams get to the field an hour before game time. We even did it in flag.

all this talk about the 8am game............although you may not like it, does the other team you play have to get up at 8am as well? Looks to me like BOTH teams will be at the same advantage/disadvantage. Does not seem like a big deal. So go out there and do your thing.........may the best team win! P.S. I got your message WOS98.......I understand what you said and I agree.....you got some internal issues to work out!

I think your right BMTSoulja1 ..... Lumberton has had some tough losses shoved in their face and they are gonna come out Friday and play PNG with everything they've got .... I agree with a close score too, but I think PNG is gonna put another win up. .... Good luck to both teams and NO PENALTIES I'm probably wrong, but this game has UPSET written all over it!

My stats say PNG by at least 2 TD's. I think Lumberton will do some soul searching this week. I'm going with the upset, Lumberton by 7 points!!

Oh it was uncalled for?!?! Just like the way your coaches teach kids to cheap shot and play dirty is uncalled for?? But then again cant expect much from Lumberton............you guys diplayed that last year. Good luck Saturday BAM......should be a fairly easy win for you guys. Its just the cheap shots abd poor sportsmanship you have to watch out for!! HooRah!!! This sounds like "that parent" you don't want on your team. : Good luck to all the teams
