The original point was completely taken out of context by a few of you football geniuses. We have a guy who is being heavily recruited as an edge rusher and wasn’t being used as such. Adjustments were made defensively. Outside containment was much much better and defensive front was dominant. The O line was spectacular throughout district play. Overall best offense I’ve seen at Lumberton. Very impressed with the coaching staff. Some of y’all should have stayed in truck. 

Could the reason be that maybe during non district the coaches didn’t wanna show what they had?

I'll trade places with ya!!! You could be on the Bulldog bandwagon and have gone 2-8.  In short... SHAT UP!!!  I'm kidding.  Seriously though,  you should be thankful.

Raiderfan4life made some very interesting observations and is not far off from reality. The fact that Lumberton came in with really high expectations and appear to be under performing, is cause for concern. I attended the HF game and saw a team that did not play with much passion and sense of urgency, players and coaches alike. My guess is Lumberton will be just fine once district starts and will finish 2nd or 3rd, LCM will win the district.

 

Sure am glad you were wrong about that. I for one never doubted my Raiders even when they lost to St. Thomas. Now it's time to take care of Palestine and see just how far we can take this thing.

Congrats to Lumberton on their first outright DC in school history

With all due respect, you may be confused on the front and the coverage. And they do have decent talent in the D line, but I don’t think it’s the best in the last 10 years. 

Please elaborate on when you have seen a better D-line unit. Not sure what year you may be referencing.

Sounds like you should go get a bachelors degree and a teaching certification and get to work coaching! 

Yes, and I bet he look down on the field and tell you what the QB or coach is thinking. He is way ahead of me, the only one I have been able to figure out is when I see a baby squatting down with a strain on his face.

Well I coached Jr League Football, and didn’t realize until now that it qualifies me to give constructive criticism to the Raider staff.  For instance, when playing Vidor their pass defense did a wonderful job.  The Pirate receiver was covered, but they let Pirate RB’s run free.  One broke loose for 8 yards once.  Yes, need to tighten up that DL.

Hey, got on my 2018 Raider Basketball Playoff jersey.  Today I’m a Raider and Dist 10 fan.

Go Raiders!

Go Lions!

Coach, "Mayor" and Raider Fan, this bandwagon is loading up.

Umm ok but that's a complete 180 from your initial post. Congrats?

Ah I see. Your son was being recruited as an "edge rusher" and since he wasn't being used for "edge rushing" you  assumed all his dreams would die due to Reyes scheme on defense. A scheme that just won you and your "edge rusher" son a district title in a district with LCM, Huffman and Vidor, and a pretty good chance at a DEEP playoff run. Don't worry, I am sure your son will still be allowed to "edge rush" at Austin College, or whatever program told him he was being recruited as an "edge rusher".

Lumberton has best football season in school history… fans question the coaching strategy.

Yep.  Sounds about right.

[Guitar Man]

Good God, if this isn't the most Lumberton thing I have ever seen. The team went 9-1 (with wins against some really impressive teams in the regular season), went undefeated in district, and at the end of the most successful season Lumberton has seen in decades you choose to COMPLAIN ABOUT and QUESTION defensive coaching strategies?!? smh...

I agree wholeheartedly, but calling it a "Lumberton thing" is probably off target. 🏈

[spidersal]

I certainly agree that L Town is having a tremendous season and hope they continue for quite sometime , a State Championship would be awesome 

The only thing I disagree with on Guitar Man’s post is the impressive teams they have defeated. 1 HF
