My thoughts about the first half:  Lamar's pass-blocking is very good, and Bevil has a great arm.  He's made a couple of dumb throws when he should scramble, but he's generally done well.  The running game needs some serious work, and it needs to start at the line of scrimmage.  On defense, the pass rush is pretty good, and coverage isn't bad.  But McNeese is getting big push on running plays, and Lamar's linebackers don't seem to be reading it well.  Tackling hasn't been very good, and that's what's led to the big runs.  The McNeese fumbles were all caused by big hits from Lamar, so they have the speed and strength, but they really need to work on their tackling.

I'd say that Lamar's best player on offense is Bevil, and their best player on defense is linebacker Asim Hicks.

Overall, it's a good first half after a 21-year lay off.

4th and goal at 1, lu fg trail only 16-13. Going to go ahead and say it now , no one could have expected lamar to be hanging with a div 1AA power like mcneese currently ranked #8. Lamar has had 2 years to prepare yes they need to improve in many areas but hello only trailing by 3pts. With the facilities they have now and the talent in the area, give lamar 3-4 years and they will be another consistent slc team to be reckoned with nationally on the FCS level.One other note i am listening to this game in illinois. wish i could be there for home opener,should be awesome. Win or lose the game lamar has all ready won some respect.

Let's just hope the Cards can keep it going and stay focused. They don't seem to be intimidated at all by McNeese. I felt going into the game that the "mental" game was the most important for the Cards. They have been practicing for two years and it made no sense to me for people to think they would just roll up and die, even for McNeese. They have talent and a good system in place. They just needed to believe they could play ball and not get caught up in being the "new" kids on the block. So far, they've managed to play like they never took a 21-year break.
Just hoping they can keep moving the ball and scare the bejeezus out of the Pokes...HA! I'm sure McNeese is making adjustments as I type this...so we'll see what happens! Either way...a good start for the Cards!

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

      I don’t know about any rivalry there because I don’t live there but although LP and DP play in different classifications they still have a lot in common.  I mean, both beat Barber’s Hill this year!

      I’m super excited for this game.  PNG has the team and game plan that will slow TH down.  No way we can stop them the entire game, but I feel if we slow them down we can win similar to what we did last year to Lake Creek and SOC.

      Well Mustang fans it's time for my annual end of season rant. I've had so much company up here on the soapbox that I may have to start charging rent. After 3 years I don't think anything needs to be said. We all know what's wrong. We all know why. So what's the decision at the next board meeting? IMO, there's been enough imaginary success for the board to rubber stamp the Superintendent's vision for our future student athletes. #make every second count Due to soft scheduling and a weaker than normal district. The luck of knocking off 2 ranked opponents early when they were not healthy or still trying to figure it out. Also led to a premature ranking and a hollow DCTF weekly award. The 2 late season losses vs ranked teams proves what we know has been the biggest problem.  Football 19-15 .559 Baseball 9-35 .205 Basketball 19-35 .352 GBB 11-29 .275 Softball 1-22 .043 Volleyball 0-38 .000 Overall 59-174 .253   For anyone living in the district, I ask that you contact you're elected board members publicly and privately. Don't let them think this is exceptable. Be the solution to the equation. Not the divisor. This starts at the top and falls heavily upon those walking the halls. They deserve better.

      I don't think it's 6-5 maybe 4-3

      Sounds like a good idea, and something’s been needed for a long time. I know—where my kids & grandkids live now (DFW area)—schools are like revolving doors for athletic purposes. I don’t think the DPISD & LPISD option enrollment are anywhere like that. I assume it’s pretty above board since it was an arrangement apparently agreed to also by the state. I do know some kids that went to LPISD elementary schools in DP chose to go to DPHS because of the district rating. (Of course, at the time, DPISD and DP in general wasn’t very racially mixed like La Porte.) LPISD has a high number of kids on assistance programs compared to DP. Say what you will, it does make it more difficult for educational purposes and scores can reflect as much. LPISD is still rated high even with that challenge. Some of the kids that chose DPHS were very solid athletes that I’m sure LP would love to have had attend LPHS. Of course, part of the big rivalry between DP & LP has always been because DP ‘looked down’ on LP even though we worked side-by-side. Now that Shell DP refinery has been sold to PEMEX, DP is changing. Some aren’t happy about it. Some of us in LP are kinda tickled about it after the history.
