I do know the head coach was  still out and they have 3 starters still out.

Coach Mitchell was COACH OF THE YEAR last year and is at least worth 20 points a game.  Did you hear that he is out with covid?

I don’t know how many points he's worth but I know he was out and they still have important players out.

They are.

Raiders will be just fine.... Coach Mitchell and the star player will be back soon. When that happens everybody look out. 

[catfever]

Is the “star” player injured or the one who quit/kicked off and is being allowed back on? 

[Cherokee88]

Great question... I just heard whoever they are missing is supposed to be as good as the young man that played for them last year and is now at Lamar.

Come on now that was a special player last year, so I don’t know about that one. I do know they are missing 3 starters though

Oh come on. Whoever told you that should lose all credibility of knowing basketball. There is no one on their roster that is anywhere close to as good as Brock was last year. I am not taking anything anyway from any of those kids, but that was how good he was. Sometimes adding players who haven’t been around in a while can mess up chemistry also.

lumberton and tarkington split 

L by 20 week ago

T by 12 tues

both team started same players 

but you have to show up and play

[The Observer]

also when you have a star, you can become one dimensional when you are playing a team sport

Brock was a good player but good teams took him out of his game and either won or had opportunities or win

[The Observer]

who is star player on the bench?

i would say lumberton has no star player

they have two big guys (6'4" and 6'3") on side that can greatly help with lack of size underneath - neither a star - one was a starter last year, other got minimum playing time

you have a 6'2" forward that at time plays great and at other times cant get the coach off his A....

thats 3 hurt guys on bench

 

[The Observer]

on floor you have 3 guards that have been playing and each has different contributing factors

thats the main 6 there

[The Observer]

no superstar in the bunch

now a good group of guys that once 100% healthy and playing as team

can win some games and at best finish 2nd in district

unless covid crashes Silsbee

[The Observer]

like them or love them Silsbee is a good team and team to beat.

Lumberton struggles against the press - and if i was a betting man - Silsbee gonna put some press on them

Nederland, HF, Santa Fe, and LCM (for about a minute until they started playing games) all put press on raiders and allowed many points to get counted and a Lose when final buzzer sounded

Isn't that what happened last year when Lumberton beat Silsbee?

Nobody took him out of his game last year.

Lumberton has  a first team all-district post player from last year that is hurt on the bench right now and another kid that started for them last year and this year but he broke his wrist. Those guys were starters last year.
