The stupidest thing I’ve maybe ever seen. Your senior linebacker in a 56-0. Just when I think this staff can’t make anymore mistakes they do it again.

Yep! No need for him to be in the game at that point.

Also irks me to see Green calling Qb keeps for Kevo this late in the game. Why risk getting one of your most dynamic offensive weapons at wr getting hurt playing qb this late?

[ConcernedFormerPanther]

Glad we finally put up some points and got a win 

As much as I hate to say it, we still have a lot to work on 

Nac is horrible 

I know Wr Preston is frustrated teams don’t have to stop him we simply limit him ourselves, we have a huge deep threat but can’t complete a pass over 7-10yds you can’t tell me there are no other kids in the program that can get the job done

When QB1 comes back, things will change.

I’m hoping you’re right!

It was a 56-0 win. Nacogdoches was outclassed, they have some things to work on, like snapping the ball. However, they have some skilled players with a ton of speed and moves. They play in a tough district.  

The officials missed a bunch of holding tonight, but it didn't make a difference. 

Lufkin had 5 or 6 offsides penalties,  need to fix that part. D played well again, did everything they were suppose to do. It was a shut out. 

Kicking game and special teams were superb, those two are going to pay dividends all year, no matter who we play.

The O needed this game the most, got a ton of good work in. WRs were involved, running game has several who can tote the ball, Coutee had a good night. Have a lot of talent to unleash on that side of the ball. 

Nac was not great, Lufkin needed the work, and it was a big win.  Pack are 1-1 headed to Texarkana next week.

Going to give a compliment, thought the play calling and execution was good tonight. I complain about that a lot, so I give thumbs up when it is a good job  Hope that continues the rest of the year.

We gotta keep him healthy. Just hope Green don't run him in the ground. 

Johnson will have one warmup game against a weak Tyler High team. And then things ramp up significantly against Barbers Hill. Not sure how much better we can get with the remaining non-district schedule.

Big Hoop is ok.

Only giving up a total of 7 points in two games is still nice. Hope Hooper is ok.

[PurpleNation]

Lufkin did what they were supposed to do to a bad team. This is exactly what I wanted to see tonight. We scored and pitched a shutout. Coutee looking more comfortable throwing the ball. The ceiling is high for these guys.

Just more testament to our Defense in my opinion.

Barbers Hill must not be nearly as good as I thought. PAM also has a surprising score tonight. Houston Legacy is not a good football team. Consolidated also beat Forney tonight 35-34.

6A Manvel, 5A DII Texas City, 5A DI Galena Park and 4A DI Lumberton are terrible teams, as was Nacogdoches. 

Houston Legacy  (School of Sports Sciences)  is terrible, they beat a 3A team by 1 point last week.

Hard to judge.  It will be all about matchups when district begins.

I thought he was about to get a pick 6 😂. Bad call on the PI on the CB if any it was offensive. Good play by Sam Smith to tip it to Jordan. He did knock the QB out the game briefly in the 3rd

We should win it.

I have a complaint tonight, it's a big one.  Do not want our kids maybe costing this team a big game down the road because they can't keep their composure.  Those unsportsman-like penalties are unnecessary.  Those things must stop.

And it's the same kid. He's a good player but my goodness he had a big one against Lancaster last year that cost us.

Lufkin’s offense was clicking all night, the defense came up with three turnovers and the Panthers blanked the Nacogdoches Dragons 56-0 on John Outlaw Memorial Field at Abe Martin Stadium in the 105th meeting between the two rivals.

Kenneth Waters rushed for 132 yards and three scores and the Panthers got interceptions from Desmen Hood and Kenneth Timmons, and Elijah Alexander had a fumble recovery, his third of the season, in the Panthers’ win.

Lufkin held the Dragons to just 151 yards on the night. Tyren Mathews led Nacogdoches with 24 yards on the ground on 17 carries and was 7 of 17 passing for 51 yards with two picks.

In his second start for the Panthers, QB Quincy Coutee completed 6-of-9 passes for 103 yards and scored on a 38-yard run. 

“The offensive line was really good tonight as far as being able to run the football,” Lufkin head coach Todd Quick said. “Our timing and us being efficient offensively with Coutee and everyone around him was really good.

“On defense we were able to steal some possessions. They did some things a little bit different early, but we were able to get off the field.”

Ke’Vondrick Taylor had a 52 yard punt return for a TD.  Kenneth Timmons had a great INT he returned 49 yards. DeMarkus Chinn had 66 yards rushing. 

Lufkin (1-1) will face Little Rock Southwest in Texarkana on Friday. Nacogdoches (1-1) will host Livingston on Friday.

The Lufkin D has created 6 TO through their first two games.  The O has 3 turnovers in two games.  Lufkin had the one TO at the goal line last night that turned into a touchback.

Although the Lufkin article gives the total stats for Nacogdoches on the night,  it mentions Lufkin passing total of 103 yards. Although the LDN doesn't say, the Panthers  probably had over 250 yards rushing against Nacogdoches.
