There is no way Lufkin is larger than Longview, we turned in 2199 last go around and Longview turned in 2192. Have a good friend who works in the Longview ISD that says Longview High is very near 2300 student this week. You guys will need to come up with a few more part time working 1/2 students to get under the cut off this time. Everyone knows how this works.

I have to go with the Panthers this year. Hate to pick a score, I'm never right, but I'll say 42-7

You may be correct. The history I found on it did not designate where they played. I am positive NAC has defeated Lufkin in Lufkin somewhere down the line, but it has been a long time ago. If 1982 was the last time, that's 41 years ago, a couple generations have come and gone.

I'll just say the Panther teams of the last few years are not playing in this game. This group is different, a young feisty bunch, I'll just wait and see what they can do. This Lufkin football program still has much to prove considering the last couple of disappointing years. Still, the Panthers did beat Legacy in Tyler last year 31-23, and I believe this years group are a much better team than last.

There is no disagreement here from many Lufkin fans watching this happen these last few years. Many of them are ready for a new direction in leadership. Yes, word does get on the streets pretty quick, yet it's funny the leadership don't see themselves as failures.

It all really doesn't matter to me. What you think doesn't matter. I don't really care one way or another what these players decide to do. It's not in my wheelhouse, and someone may or may not benefit from a transfer. Nothing is guaranteed, I think the UIL has made transfers some easier than in the past. I'm already tired of talking about the whole mess, wish I had never responded, just ready to go on down the line with whatever players are on the roster. That's the hand we are dealt and have to live with it. We have our own set of issues over here that we have been dealing with for some time now. No playoffs the past two years and very little playoff success even longer.

Yea, it is whatever it is. Too close to the season to worry about a player or players who want to be elsewhere. Your right, you can't compare 2A to 5A DI, it's quite a bit different. Hey, Lufkin has a darn good team this year, their playing in the toughest 5A district in the State, so don't jump that horse too quick on Lufkin. Happy that Corrigan Camden football is on the upswing, I'll be keeping an eye to see how that Pro Style works for you guys. Does CC ISD have some sort of open enrollment for transfers? I thought a guardian still needs to live, work or reside in a district for that to happen. Anyway, good luck, enjoy our players if you got them, we will just give some others an opportunity to get a lot more playing time. It's all good.

The LB you speak of started on the Freshman team last year, he is now back at Lufkin. Sometimes a parent thinks their kid is ready for the big time in a 5a DI program when the coaches think they need a little more seasoning on the JV. Not aware of any other players you spoke of, still checking. I've been told ALL Varsity starters from last year are at LHS and on the Panther Roster. How does it benefit a player to transfer from 5A DI football to 2A? Doesn't matter one way or another, the guys who want to be there are getting ready now, if their is an opening, it's just another opportunity for someone else.

Great coach, better man.

Looks almost exactly like the New Caney ISD (Randall Reed) 9000 seat stadium built 6 -7 years ago. Must be same architect and contractors. Melissa is up in that North of Dallas urban sprawl with McKinney right on up Hwy 75 toward Sherman, which is really growing too. I remember when Frisco, Prosper and Little Elm were nothing but small towns in those areas. Now they are all 5A and 6A schools with nice state of the art stadiums.

I hope Lufkin gets out of the McKinney North, Forney, West and North Mesquite loop. I'm not overjoyed about Lancaster, at least they are further South in the Metro-plex. Playing South has been a little easier travel in the past for all extracurricular travel purposes.

Leave Lufkin out of the North. We had better travel going South, competition just as good. You guys are closer.

Tyler High girls beat Lufkin girls 52-43 in the bi district round. Lufkin boys won @ New Caney Porter 56-25 to finish district play. Hallsville defeated Longview 50-43. Lufkin and Hallsville will play at Timpson next Tuesday.

Lufkin 84 Huntsville 50 Nacogdoches 53 @ Kingwood Park 51 OT NAC is now a solid 2nd seed and KWP 3rd seed. Don't sell Kingwood Park short at 15-18. They took their lumps early playing a bunch of 6A teams in non district, those guys are very well coached and fundamentally sound. Nacogdoches has overcome their early season injuries and are playing the best I've seen them all year. A very athletic bunch. New Caney Porter 50 Dayton 36 New Caney Porter now has the edge over Huntsville for the 4th seed. Lufkin played without two starters tonight, and other starters played fewer minutes, also played a JV center who had just moved up about 1/2 of the game.
