bh89-2 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Posted September 8, 2009 Lumberton runs as Barbers Hill falls again By Robert Chambliss Correspondent Published September 5, 2009 The Barbers Hill Eagles lost their second consecutive game this year when they played the Lumberton Raiders on Friday night. The 35-29 final score pushed the Eagles to 0-2, and head coach Don Price had little to say about the result. “It is what it is,†Price said. “We have dropped the first two, and we haven’t done what we have needed to win the football games.†The Eagles looked shaky at the beginning of the game, when they gave up a 14-play, 67yard drive that ended in a Raider 21 yard field goal. The Eagles however, responded with an 11-play, 63-yard drive of their own. “Well there wasn’t a lot of punting tonight,†Price said. “It kept going score after score. “We need to keep our offense like it is, but we have to force the other team to punt.†The Raiders’ Ryan Asher was the real trouble for the Eagles defense. Asher finished the game with 19 carries for 66 yards and four rushing touchdowns. “Well what we have to do in the coming weeks is work,†Price said. “We must work on all aspects, including defense, so we can become a better football team.†Lumberton’s quarterback Ryan Hughes also had a terrific game rushing the ball. He led his team in rushing with 17 carries for 106 yards, and finished with 128 yards and a touchdown on 8 of 18 passing. For the Eagles, Matthew Viverette was their offense. On the ground, Viverette carried the ball 18 times for a total of 91 yards and a touchdown. And in the air, Viverette went 23 for 32 for 286 yards and three touchdowns. Wade Duke and Caleb Stork each had seven catches for BH. But when it came time to score, Caleb Stork was their man with seven catches for 120 yards and all three Viverette touchdowns. “It all came down to our penalties and our special teams tonight,†Price said. “We missed a few extra points and that hurt us. And we had a lot of penalties which really hurt us. “Because of our holding, we were giving them short field position, and they did what they needed to with it.†The Eagles finished the game with six penalties for 80 yards including two holds in a row on their ensuing drive to catch Lumberton. “What we are going to have to do over this week is work,†Price said. “I can’t say it enough, we must work to get better, and play better football in the weeks to come.†The Eagles’ next game will be next Friday at 7 p.m., when they host a first-year school Cypress Ranch.

ncplaya Posted September 8, 2009 Report Posted September 8, 2009 It's good to see that are idiots everywhere!! Every school and team goes through spurts of winning and losing. It happens. There are good classes of kids and there are classes that aren't as good. Get over it. Barbers Hill will win again. For now they are getting out athleted.

Not knocking the kid at all, he is playing his heart out, but at some point you got to admit when help is needed. By the way, after Crosby fell the way they did, I might as well buy you that shake in advance. Not looking good ofr my bet at this point....LOL
