Lufkin moved up to #20 in the 5A rankings. 15-1 in the last 16 games. Has been a pleasant surprise this year.

It was always about the 25 class. We will have more experience and I think the better players next season. I don't wanna hear any excuses about it being week 1.

This was always supposed to be the year for Lufkin. I don't want to hear any excuses about it being week 1

Lufkin was going to make the playoffs in either district. We got something this year. You guys gonna see.

Lufkin is definitely going to surprise teams next season if this is the thought process.

Lufkin is officially 9-5A

I've heard the 21st but the appeal process takes place on the 20th in Austin if I'm not mistaken. I fully expect Lufkin to go 9-5A. Angleton is also appealing 9-5A to move to 11.

I agree. Lancaster can easily win this game.

I like Longview by a few scores but I do think the game will be a little bit more competitive this go around.

Lol that's sad. Get complaints for doing a good job

I think the HS broadcast should get priority but I get it.

Fair point. I guess I would like to know why Longview waited so late. Were they waiting to get permission from the UIL because Texanlive was broadcasting the game? Even then Texanlive knows Longview broadcast every game. I just think it could of been handled better but hey as long as you can make a dollar right.

Some people can't afford to go to games. If a school wants to broadcast the game for free on whatever day of the week they want then noone should be able to stop them. Longview being denied the press box to stream is just wrong.

What happened? I turned it off at halftime. They couldn't defend themselves lol.

He's a stud just a sophomore. Has some pretty big offers

Has Forney pulled the starters

Lufkin 14 Lancaster 7 Half

I could see that scenario unfolding and Lufkin was already checked out at that point. I would have sent a few deep shots to McFall. He surely would of made a play. Tyler absolutely botched that scenario. It's all about probability and statistics and that all points to Tyler should have went for a TD.

I tried to tell people Tyler shouldn't have kneeled the ball vs Lufkin. It just didn't make any sense when the 3 way tie breaker was probably their best shot. Granted Lancaster probably beats Lufkin anyway making this point mute. I also don't think Forney is going to rest players and give Tyler a easy win. They will try to run it up Friday. That's just what they do.

Had to go back and confirm it but he was also the 49ers 1st RD pick coming out of Oklahoma St.

I have a hunch them demographics might come into play

Thank you.

Let's say Tyler loses out which is probably a likely scenario. Would we have to beat Lancaster by 6 points or would 5 points be enough? I'm just curious what the tie breakers are for a 3 way tie. I'm guessing point differential between the teams and if two teams are tied after that does it go head to head? If anyone knows the scenarios it's you lol

100% agree. My son told me that Green and #18 Preston were getting into on the sidelines last night. Preston was demanding the ball and Green was saying wait your turn. Talk about not having a feel for the game but he will be back next season doing the same stuff.

I agree go beat somebody and you're in but I still would of at least took a few shots at the end. Lufkin was already checked out at that point and you have the best player on the field in McFall. I'm glad you guys decided to kneel it but I definitely would of tried to tack one on lol. Longview is a completely different animal. I'll give you a punchers chance against Forney. But if we're just talking probability it would of just helped to have those points in your back pocket. Especially in 2 weeks if you look up and you see Lufkin beat Lancaster by a TD. I think we just need to beat them by 5 points and you guys lose out. For the record I'd be shocked if we beat Lancaster but I imagine it will be another close game for us.
