I almost predicted the attendence correctly. Total was 3,457, this is what I predicted on another thread:

I say there will be less than 4,000 in attendance. Probably just over 3,000.

I'll predict 3,237.

I knew that some of you were wrong when you were expecting 4000-6000 at this game. Maybe if Lamar gets on a win streak the crowds towards the end of the season will get bigger.

I hope the crowds pick up.This type team feeds off the crowd and can turn it up a notch with the long ball when they get pumped.Was it just me tonight or was the officiating as bad as it looked?It didn't favor anyone just looked like a really weak crew to me.

Actually I disagree. They missed a few travels and a few calls, but they let them play. That's what is wrong with SLC Crews usually they call every ticky tacky play. Get out of the SLC and the big dogs get physical and the officiating allows them to play.

You are right, the crowd looked nice, but it was about as quiet as it could get with 3400 people there. Jay Brown did have some monster rejections, he kills that ball when he wants to block it, I can see that highly regarded talent that rivals talked about come to life, he truly is a beast for us. KD... what needs to be said, for us to win the Conference Championship, he has to be the best player on the floor night in and night out, and he's done that so far. Hall had the best game he's had for us too I feel, he also had some no calls when those lions were all over him.

All in all, except for the uninspired play the last 2 minutes, you have to feel good about this game, however, this team has a tough game wed against UTA and then another tough one against McNeese, if we don't play our best we could head into next week 1-2.

the spring semester hasn't started yet, so i think the crowds will get bigger once all the students are back on campus. 

I thought there was a nice student crowd last night, not loud, but still a good size for it still being the break.

I don't mind the officials letting em bang.The calls I was referring to were traveling(no calls) and phantom possession calls.One right in front of the LU bench in the 2nd half and the other on the LU base line in the 2nd half. Both stopped play and gave the ball back to the team in possession which was LU but killed a scoring drive both times.

      Barbers Hill (28) vs La Porte (55) - FINAL

      This is good info. It doesn’t really break out for student athletes though. LP & (I think) DP are open enrollment because of the way the towns intertwine. That’s the way it’s been for many years anyway. I assume it still is that way. The kids have a choice after Jr. High to go to either High School because LPISD has elementary schools in DP. As I recall, DP didn’t want to build out more (Robin Hood issues), and so DPISD & LPISD came to an arrangement because LPISD is one of the highest givers to Robin Hood in the state, and it helped both keep more funds in district. Of course, LPISD is open to all. Not just DP, and LPISD is rated well. So, I assume they have kids from elsewhere also. Not positive though. They used to have a lot because—for decades—DeWalt was the only dedicated public school in the GHA that specifically catered to special needs kids. Families from all over enrolled. But, they didn’t participate in extracurricular activities like sports. So, LP’s total enrollment made them 6A. But, they were really a 5A school all along for sports program sake. This is all as best as I can recall from when I was more involved in school issues. I’m sure a lot has changed since then. My kids have been out for 20 years.

      Newton vs Daingerfield

      Our playoff rivalry. They hold a 6-5 edge in the series. I think Newton continues the win streak in a hard fought contest. What say y’all?

      Has Elmo gotten his aggy premature extension yet?  Pay him already because you guys were exactly right - he really does “get you.” 😂🤣

      It’s been awhile, but I seem to remember 5 D starters out & 2 O starters out (OL). A big difference is that Simon wasn’t involved yet. He’s totally changed LP’s rushing attack from last year as a bruising, explosive addition to Barnes, Sandolph & Bright. Last year—and early this season—LP was missing that element. Now, Coach Berneathy is not making talented players wait like many other coaches & even his predecessors at LP. If the kid can produce at the varsity level, they’re moved up. And man, has Simon produced! Over 1200 yards & 20 TD’s in less than a full season so far! It’s allowed LP to alternate RB’s where Barnes doesn’t take all the pounding. Barnes and Sandolph are also able to split out as receivers as desired to add threats that weren’t really an option last year. The PNG/LP game was a full-on tilt & good for both squads. I remember Gary Joseph in the end zone giving his son pointers as an extra set of eyes since he’d had experience with LP in past PO matchups. That was a good game. The score wasn’t really indicative of the game. Not sure anyone felt it was over until the final whistle! Good luck to y’all in Cajun Country. Bring back a win for SE Texas. (Yes. La Porte is still SETX. Ha!)
