On the other site some of their fans are talking about going to see Lindale vs Kilgore to see a good game - ergo Ltown vs CHill - won’t even be close. Let 'em go and when we fill the stands our 12th man will take the game over for us. Quote

A BUC 77 Posted November 21, 2022 Report Posted November 21, 2022 Just remember Lumberton, CH laces up they’re shoes just like you. You guys belong in this game. You’ve earned it. Go out there on the first play and hit em hard and don’t let up on the accelerator. Go Rebels, uh Raiders. Hagar 1 Quote

Next week the guys have to tighten up on those penalties some more although I thought the one pass interference was questionable, I thought it was actually an offensive pass interference and the facemask I kind of thought was incidental. We have the talent to beat these guys, we just need to get the attitude to beat them. We're picked to win by Calpreps 38-35. Just for a little bit of trivia since the first time we got this far was in 2007, I diid a match up and it came out 2022 Lumberton Raiders 35 - 2007 Lumberton Raiders 22. The debate of 2022 vs 2007 is, and will always be, nothing more than speculation and who is better can’t be proved. However, for my money, 2007 is better. They were playing up a classification against better competition, IMHO! If this team brings home a state championship, then that might change my mind. Tiger33 and KF89 2 Quote

Out of 552 games, WOS has been ranked 300x (>54%). When you get an eviction notice from another team. Use it as motivation and try to get revenge next season. We may not have that opportunity. Good luck this week and no injuries. December football requires all aboard. It doesn't get any easier. Quote

However I understand why lumberton hangs their hat on them this year lol I used to harp on them for it. But it doesn't happen often and dont see it happening every year based off what their fans are saying. With that said.. let them enjoy the ride this year they truly have a chance to be #1 Quote

Let's hope their opinions are right considering they apparently think we can take out the rest of our region, we're the highest ranked of the four teams left. Quote

raideroldtimer Posted November 22, 2022 Report Posted November 22, 2022 Got my tickets online tonight. We are visitors again. Best I can figure is whichever coach wins the toss gets to pick the site and the other team gets home because we've been visitors so far at every playoff game even though we've been the higher seed, at least for the first two.

purpleeagle Posted November 22, 2022 Report Posted November 22, 2022 Lumberton is a 1 point favorite. Go raiders. Quote

Seed has nothing to do w it.... It's a mutual agreement or a coin flip. In football being visitors during the playoffs really means nothing other than you get to call the coin toss Quote

Home vs visitor means nothing other than which side the fans sit on and what color jerseys the team wear (light or dark). Coin toss is 50/50 anyway no matter who calls it. Quote

Hagar Posted November 22, 2022 Report Posted November 22, 2022 Evidently this CHill offense is virtually unstoppable. Best as I can tell their longest drive was 7 plays. They put the Boom in explosive. Raider D has to step up - Big Time. Quote

They aren’t that great at predicting games between teams in the same season. I don’t try to make a living like they do with rating high school teams and predicting winners. I bet Calpreps has never had one of their people watch a Lumberton game so they didn’t get their eyes on either team. Quote
