Back in the late 80s, early 90s, Larry Haynes had the Raiders 7-3 and 8-2 in consecutive seasons when they dropped to Class 3A for two years.

In the 8-2 season, they lost to Hamshire-Fannett and Liberty in district. At that point, only two teams advanced to the playoffs, so Lumberton stayed home as the third-place team.

They've been a few times. I think the last time they went was about 5 years ago. Actually, the longest Orange County drought is in north Orange. The bears haven't been since 97.

But WO-S has been a school about 40 years less than Nederland or PN-G.

More like 52 years less
