Is it because Nacogdoches is renovating their Press Box at the stadium? Or has that already been done? If Lufkin has any plans for Press Box replacement or any stadium renovations, it has not been announced. There were rumors in 2021 that a new press box and some new LED stadium lighting may happen. That was two years ago, nothing yet. The main goal currently for the district is finishing the Middle School. Don't think ABE falling behind most of our competitors stadiums, even Nacogdoches, is high on the list for many in our leadership. Just a reminder, ABE is still using their original 1973 Press Box. Yes, Abe Martin will be 50 years old in August. Our folks know, because those same administrators attend Panther out of town games and see where our opponents play thier home games. An FYI add on, the Turf is worn and needs replacing too. Hey, there has been some postives, there are some new ticket booths, brand new concrete driveways and a new visitor parking lot by the soccer field, so things have shown some progress. Looking forward for the next phase of improvements whenever they happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackAttack Posted May 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 I'm asking this question to anyone out there who KNOWS, however primarily directed toward Purple Nation. Longview is known for tough physical and mental workouts, and play on the field. They are extremely physical against each other in their practice regiment. IMO that pays dividends to their success. How do you rate Lufkin's football workouts in comparison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you rate Lufkin's football workouts in comparison? I can't imagine Longview having a tougher off season workout or practice as to why they have been successful. I think it's important but they have just had more talent here recently. We can quantify that by looking at recruiting. Longview isn't going full pads blasting each other every day. That's just not smart. You don't have to do that and your gonna get kids hurt. King is a smart coach and they got good players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackAttack Posted May 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 Okay, no practice anywhere outside today. Looks like they are inside with the doors up. Headed back to house, maybe will get another glimpse of them Monday. I'm not really too worried about next season. All the Green experts say it's between the Lobos, Lancaster and Forney. I can hardly wait for the season to start. Go Pack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleNation Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 As for how I would rate Lufkin's spring practice. I'm not sure but they seem to be doing what we did and we finished 14-1. The do inside hull, and pass hull, team, individual circuit. A good mixture between half and full pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
