BC is much improved and Smalley is one of the top coaches in the area

Lumberton is young and back to the friendly Raider days and by the way has the coach that left after the talent was gone have a win at Palestine. NO

The previous AD at Palestine made $136,588.  Maybe it was better to lose where he'd at least get paid.  I don't know what Lumberton pays their AD.. but they aren't burning the world down in football either.

Do they have the same head coach that all of their fans wanted fired a year ago?  Or did I miss something?

They are considered overachievers because of the turnaround from last year. Truth is, with a different head coach, this team is talented enough to be making a title run this year. Instead, I'd assume a second-round loss is in the cards.

Yeah, almost exactly the same. Prior to this year, Lumberton had 5 winning seasons out of 6. The last 2 were 5-0 which I think means they even beat everyone in the district (including L-CM) if my math is right. So yeah, just like L-CM. 

You're trying to infer that Lumberton is just as good or as bad as lcm... and that's just not the case. Lol Lumberton has been competing not to be last for the past 20+ years almost every season give or take a few seasons...

I think most folks expected HF to be very good this year, So can't say they are over performing.

Ranked very high in preseason polls and picked by all the experts to win district.

They were my preseason pick to win district. Now I have WO-S winning district.

Curious to see what WOS does against Silsbee this week.  I'm not one who's generally guilty of the "common opponents" game, but HF absolutely dominated Silsbee and Jasper, with those games being complete blowouts until the second string gave up points in each game. WOS was very lucky to escape from jasper with a 39-36 win.  HF was up 42-0 after three quarters on jasper one week later, and I don't know that Jasper had more than a couple of 1st downs up to that point.  WOS needs to comfortably beat Silsbee this week or HF should be a big favorite going into that final game.

I prescribe to the Janet Jackson rule. It’s called “What have you done for me lately?“

And for the last few years while your Bears have been doing so well, the L-Train been right there.

I didn’t see any backups for hf in the Silsbee game, take away the 14 pts on 2 pic 6s, hf  offense only scored 21 pts. But yes they were the better team by far, and they should beat WOS , regardless of this weeks outcome.

      Orangefield 65 Livingston 83/FINAL

      By Cu Chulainn · Posted

      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 McNeese 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 obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
