PurpleNation Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 I think that has been the most competitive district Lufkin has been in since 97 from top to bottom. When you had John Tyler, Longview, Lufkin and Marshall all ranked in the Top 10. Tyler Lee was also good that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played all them close except Longview. Lufkin coaches didn't come close to unlocking this years team full potential. I get sick to my stomach thinking about how good we could be under a competent staff. All we got was another wasted year of some exceptional talent. Watching several of these games tonight back and forth. I definitely saw where we lacked the most on offense and will not discuss that here. Season is over, so we move on. Next year will be better, can't speak for the OL or the OC. . As far as Green, most of these OC I'm watching tonight from Ryan, Abilene, Forney, Richland, Longview, there is just no comparison here in Lufkin.

PackAttack Posted November 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 Richland comes from behind, down 34-9 in the first half to Barbers Hill, to win 48-47 in OT. Richland will now play Forney. Bet there is a bunch of mad BH fans right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough way to go out your SR season. I watched the game. Tatum hurt his shoulder or something on a run, he just ran off the field before half. Trainers were looking at him, couldn't tell. Just know he didn't play the 2nd half. However, Longview has two capable back ups that work well in their system. The Lobos didn't miss a beat when Tatum went out.

Not against Reedy but with Lancaster and possibly Forney looming again they might. Any chance of them beating Aledo may have just went out the window if Tatum can't go. I hope it's just preliminary why they held him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that Frisco district isn't quite as strong as they were 3 or 4 years ago or 7-5A DI was exceptionally strong this season. May turn out to be the strongest district in all of 5A football.

I'll take anything that'll keep him in a cast and able to play however. Those Reedy boys were going out of their way to try and take him out of the game, but of course it's the one that is as innocent as can be that would hurt him. We'll see what happens next week with him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember QB Jeremy Claybon in 2005 getting a fracture just above the right wrist, his non throwing hand. They would not let him play anymore, RBs get hit even more. Tough call, you just hate it with the timing of these things. Lobos have great backups, I think it will be different, you'll find a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeout! Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 Never like to lose a player the caliber of Tatum. Longview will rally behind the guys stepping in. Unlike like Lufkin, they actually give their backups reps throughout the season. The system will take care of the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
