Not to rain on their parade too much because this has been a great season for Ltown to this point but I'm assuming they go back to middle of the pack and fighting for a playoff spot next season. Losing that caliber of a player they'll just be the good old lovable, friendly Raiders again. Everything will return to normal and Silsbee will dominate the district for the next 4 years. Of course Lumberton wont have to worry about them anymore, with the L-Train going to 5a soon. It looked like they were going to be moved up this season but luckily they weren't and now you have a district title to claim as your own. I wonder how they would have done in 5a this year, shoot PA might not even make the playoffs. Soon we will see how good of a coach they really have there but hey enjoy it while you got it, he's a hell of a player and fun to watch. We've been going against Brock since he was a little boy, you could always tell there was something different about the tall lanky kid from Lumberton, even in 7th grade he could hit those long bomb 3 point shots with ease. Glad he made it to the next level and gets to play at a local D1 school where we get to keep up with his progression. Congrats on the outright DC and best of luck in the playoffs friends, I know some Pirates that will be there watching and pulling for the Raiders.

Congrats to the Raiders!  What a job Coach Mitchell has done with that program since taking over.  Love to see good things happen to good people - and Josh is as good a guy as they come.   And regardl

Lumberton returns 8 players, they will have 3 starters back, they will be fine, Coach Mitchell will find ways to make sure this group has a chance to get in next year, they will be big and physical.

Yep, Lumberton will be picked to be the best of the rest (I.e., not Silsbee) again next season.  WOS and Coach Wilson may have something to say about that though.  Free for all for fourth again.

That means nothing.  Go look at any boys basketball program in the last 50 years (as long as I have been around) in SouthEast Texas.  If the team has a D1 basketball player returning, that team will finish 1st or 2nd in their district HANDS DOWN 10000000% of the time.  There is not an argument that opposes this fact.  

Shelbyville had a kid who average near 50 points per game and set the state scoring record one year. They only won 3 games.  Not sure if he was a D1 player or not.

I mean, it’s been a year a first for Lumberton basketball.  Let’s add a 10 page thread to the list!

I dig it. I was told well before the season Lumberton was gonna win district by a certain crazy girl.

      Orangefield 65 Livingston 83/FINAL

      Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McnNeese this Friday night at 6pm.

      I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
