67-62 Final

Raiders Win!

Too close for comfort. Props to WOS. 

[Jack of All Trades]

Lumberton was at the line all night.  Refs took over this game but as usual WOS has to beat them and we couldn’t tonight.  24 shot more free throws than all my Mustangs.   My nephew #15 Bryan Keller was on fire.

 

We will be fine and I like our chances in the playoffs.  Great day to be a Mustang!!!

By the way it was 68-62 just one point but still

Didn’t Wos almost beat Silsbee last week ?

Lumberton lived at the line all night.  If my Mustangs breathed on the they went to the line.  Good team but the refs had too much of an impact.

 

I don’t see Lumberton coming close to my Mustangs next year.

I promise lumberton coach will have Lumberton ready to go, he’s one one of the best coaches in the area.

Lumberton at this rate if the get HF lose 1st Round get Shepherd win and get blown by Washington 2nd all in all it’s only a few days of Lumberton ball left unfortunately but we have United to make a run in the Area

I believe the #4 in the other district could very possibly win this district.

No doubt, Fannett healthy is tough but Fannett and Lumberton better than Washington

@Benchwarmer9 don’t know ya’lls coach but I know ours and I know Wilson will have our boys ready.  We also return a lot.  Plus our JV last night beat ya’lls with mostly freshman on it.  Your coach is going to have to have them ready or you guys will get blown out.

 I know you won’t have #24 to lean on and that’s why I see you guys losing first round.  Under Wilson these ain’t the same Mustangs

Lumberton has 8 guys returning and 4 3 starters back, they lost 5 key guys last year and picked this year to not make the playoffs.

I think you’re right, if healthy.  Should be an interesting first round slate or games.   
 

HJ is still the biggest threat to Yates in this region.   Here’s to all our teams staying healthy.

I predict Lumberton and WOS will be battling for 2nd next year.  But let’s let this season play out and then that will be a good argument over the off season. 

[underdog15]

24 and 4 combine for at least 50 points and 16 rebounds every game I can’t see Lumberton recovering that and everyone keeps saying Lumberton is young they aren’t young they just have a BIG TIME PLAYER IN 24 who is carrying those guys you remove him it will make it hard for them to score because he’s one of the most efficient shooters in the state

If Lumberton battles for second next year then Coach Mitchell will be working some magic. Not much help moving up from the under level program. I agree though, let’s let the Raiders enjoy this season. Josh has started changing the culture around there, they will start to get better year in and year out. Somewhere in south Hardin County there’s a kid imitating Brock McClure’s jump shot. That ain’t ever happened before in Lumberton Texas. That’s the first step in building a successful program and the Raiders have taken it.

Lumberton has 3 descent sophs a freshman post back and the starting post back, when you have 6ft4, 6ft3, and 6ft3 in starting lineup you will give teams trouble.

Not necessarily. Seen many teams with that kind of lineup lose badly to teams with much smaller lineups. Something about one team not being able to get the ball across half court.

Height is nice when the guard play for each team is equal but it certainly isn't the end all be all.
