kingwolf Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Don't honestly know what to think about Lufkin at this point. Couldn't find any sub varsity info from the last few years on them. I think Legacy wins this game but wouldn't be surprised if a young but talented Lufkin team pushes Legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, they were pretty excited about their freshman team that came in last season. I know they pushed our boys pretty hard down at Abe, when we were blowing out every single team that we came across. No doubt though, they're gonna be incredibly young.

PA posted a good recap in answer to my question about the record. It seems like they were pretty solid and have some good numbers coming up with 2 Freshman teams. Hoping for a 2017 type year for them, start slow and then heat up for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our boys won that 34-14 I believe but yeah...that was the closest game that we had all season. Had us on the ropes there for a sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackAttack Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 Legacy is a 12 point favorite by Jerry's Pigskin Prep. That sounds like a sure deal to me. We'll see what Matt Stepp's odds are later in the week. I read the Tyler Telegraph article about the Legacy-Marshall scrimmage, Joe Willis made it sound like the Red Raiders were the physical team, and smacked Marshall around pretty good.

GOLEE Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Legacy should edge this one out. Playing in Lufkin is always a challenge. It wont be easy, but Legacy has a little Defense this year, against a Lufin team with 3 returning offensive starters. Week 1, Defense is ahead of offense. Should be the difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have 8 starters back on their offense, but lost about half of the defense from 2020. Huntsville won the controlled scrimmage portion 2-1. Don't have the break down whether it was against 1s or 2s, it doesn't matter anyway. In the live 2 quarter portion both teams scored three times, the difference was Huntsville missed on two 2 pt attempts, the score ending 21-19 for Lufkin. Lufkin has brand new faces at almost all key offensive positions, the Panther defense returns more starters from 2020 team that started 5 sophomores on the D. Huntsville is very good on offense this year, their D is decent too but they are replacing folks there like we are on our offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t do much vs marshall. On defense numerous deep balls were wide open and WR’s were wide open, marshall just didn’t connect on them. The offense is the same. 2 top notch RB’s, the occasional deep ball, and then screen or quick passes. As the year goes on I fully expect Sears to play QB as otherwise there isn’t a QB in the school. They need this win vs Lufkin because after that it could be 4-5 weeks before another win comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonG Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Sears won't be playing qb. He is the best option but it's not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
