Lufkin vs Woodlands

[VB Pack Fan]

Ok Woodlands fans some of you guys been talking about this game for two weeks , trying to get my panthers looking ahead. Well now the talk can start, about this coming friday night. Hope you have a safe trip down to this big city and enjoy the game, it should be our best so far. How did you all fair with Conroe, heard the game was close for a while, never heard the final.

[WoodlandsHigh]

Game was too close for me. Conroe was ready to play as they started with you guys (Lufkin) with their opening drive & TD.

Conroe took too many injuries against Lufkin. Also, they were "hurt" with grades (no pass, no play). They are a much better team than their record.

Looks like Huntsville put some yards on Lufkin this week. Resting players?

Regardless, the playoffs are coming with the winner of Klein vs. Klein Forest taking the 3rd spot.

Let's have a good game & prep for the playoffs. No injuries on either side! Let's represent the district well.

I take The Woodlands by 3 pts. It will be our best defensive showing yet. It will push our safeties to their finest moment now that we must worry about the pass. It will be very interesting.

[pack0808]

They had 205 total yards and the 2nd string defense played since the early 3rd quarter on wake up!! The Woodlands will get a major reality check next week i promise.

[EasTex9]

Really been looking forward to this one for a while. LP will be up for this one!! THWS fans have a safe trip up to Ole Abe.

[VB Pack Fan]

TWHfan to answer you. No1. yes, No2. maybe No3. yes ,but you should me able too park further from the stadium and walk :D

Woodlandshigh, the pack will surley be ready and hard to contain, two good running backs and four good wr,s plus a qb that can run.

Plenty of typical fat foods but do not get the popcorn whatever you do. Good hot dogs and nachos and pizza but do not get the popcorn. The worst i have ever tasted. Heavily salted with no butter and stale! God awful!! :eek:

101.1 does broadcast the game

Get the pizza at the concession stand

Parking won't be impossible, just park at the trinity church across the street, they just take donations and its easy to get out when its over with.

[PantherStang84]

if ur gonna eat at the consession stands u better bring some money... i think 2.50 for 1 slice of dominoes pizza(pepperoni) and 2.00 for a bottle of water... popcorn isnt the best...

lol a ticket isnt garuanteed

[wide-e-wide]

Just go eat at Catfish King across the street...
Getting there at 7pm might be pushing it...you might
have to park at Catfish King and walk...hahaha

Hey Duke a suggest you buy a big bag of our wonderful popcorn while enjoying a Highlander defeat. :D Seriously you have to try the popcorn because i want to know if you think is the worse you have ever tasted!! LOL The peanuts are good!! Rusty's!! My friend and old junior college coach makes those. He has his own personal peanut company now. But please try the popcorn duke!! LOL

Will do, double or nothing huh, what is the spread gonna be? Give me 14 (you have home field advantage :D) and I will do it. Sounds like I will be getting peanuts instead of popcorn. How can it be bad? I mean, how do you mess up popcorn?

Just try it and you will see!! It is heavily heavily salted with no butter and usually stale i kid you not!! 14 point spread?? Come on duke don't you have more confidence in your team then that?? ;)

[old football fan]

after seeing them both i think it wont be close and lufkin will win by at least 20

[rich_pack]

Hey guys, I am coming down from Wylie, does anyone know if Ray's Drive In stays open late on Friday? Or what time do they close? Man, I sure miss those good Steak Finger baskets!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TWHPA]

Duke,

You're not coming to the tailgate...we're having BBQ Panther....

[TheDuke]

Duke,

You're not coming to the tailgate...we're having BBQ Panther....

Oh well in that case I will have Panther! Sounds better anyway!
;)

[TheDuke]

Just want to make sure I can double up on the beer that's all!
:D ;)

[TWHPA]

That panther is pretty nasty tasting so you will need lots of beer....

[TheDuke]

That panther is pretty nasty tasting so you will need lots of beer....

That shouldn't be a problem since Pack0808 has 30 for me already!
;)

[pack0808]

I really cannot wait for this game!! The Woodlands will be formally introduced to Abe and i cannot wait to see them slumped over and helmets down after the 4th quarter is over. But before that happens they will have that deer caught in the headlight's look ;) This is going to be fun!! :D

Don't get to carried away with all this helmet down crap Pack, we will show up for this game, not gonna be as easy as you think it will, or everyone else for that matter, we are gonna play well. You will see, this will be the best team you guys have faced so far this season, I gaurantee it!

[Geaux Hard]

Woodlands will not be able to handle Lufkin's defense. This one may be close early unless Dez catches a deep ball or two. It may be ugly at the end though.

[TheDuke]

I think our Defense is what is gonna surprise some people in this game. If we can hold on D and run the ball, then we have a shot at a good game at least.

[Favpack]

I will continue to use my (to be expected) conservative outlook. TWHS will offer up the best D Lufkin has seen all year - by a long shot. Is the Lufkin O up for the challenge? I can tick off 2-3 areas the Lufkin O needs improvement on with my white glove inspection. Some Lufkin fans call me too demanding. We'll see.

[TheDuke]

I hope #90, Blake Hinton is back this week. He is by far our best D-Lineman and is needed for this game. Any Woodz fans know if he is playing this week?

[TWHPA]

Word has it he will be back....I saw #1 went out with ice on the anckle....he didn't come back in the rest of the game.....Hipe it was to keep his health for LP...

[pack0808]

I know this is the best team Lufkin has faced this year and i know The Woodlands has a very good defense but you know i have to talk a little innocent smack!! ;) In my honest opinion i say Lufkin 28 or 31 The Woodlands 7.

7 ???? You haven't seen a RB like we have right now either! If you think we are gonna give up 28-31 and only get 7 your dreaming Pack! This is NOT the same team that played against Katy my friend. I can't wait until this game! I love the talking we do to get ourselves hyped up before Friday! It is only Monday too!! :D

[wide-e-wide]

Lufkin-35
Woodlands-14

That better Duke?

[Fleeman93]

From an outsiders standpoint. Northshore has a much much better offense than Lufkin from what I have read. The Woodlands held Northshore to 7. So I do think the Woodland's D can keep the Lufkin score down. I really don't see the Woodland's O putting up much on the Lufkin D either. I would say this will be a very low scoring game with the pack winning by about 6. A turnover or a penalty at the wrong time could swing the game in the other direction.

[TheDuke]

Lufkin-35
Woodlands-14

That better Duke?

NO! How about

Woodlands -13

Pack - 10

That is better!

(I'm your Huckleberry! Why Wide, Looks like someone just walked over your grave!)
:D

[panther96]

NO! How about

Woodlands -13

Pack - 10

(I'm your Huckleberry! Why Wide, Looks like someone just walked over your grave!)

There is no way that Woodlands will beat Lufkin 13 - 10, it might be close but Lufkin will win by 13 or more points.

[TheDuke]

OK,

How about:

Woodlands - 20

Pack - 17


:D :D

[TheDuke]

Looks like Lufkin has a good kicker also!



"Jaime Fernandez, Lufkin — The junior kicker nailed field goals of 42, 44 and 47 yards and had four PATs to finish with 13 points in Lufkin's 37-21 win over Klein Forest on Monday. He followed that performance with a 22-yarder and three PATs in the Panthers' win over Huntsville to total 19 points for the week."

That is a secret weapon fo some points! :eek:

[LPanther]

Hey guys, I am coming down from Wylie, does anyone know if Ray's Drive In stays open late on Friday? Or what time do they close? Man, I sure miss those good Steak Finger baskets!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You and me both rich_pack!......no steak fingers like Ray's anywhere here in the metroplex. Everytime I go to Lufkin I have to hit Ray's and/or Lufkin BBQ. I'm thinking Ray's is open until 10:30 or 11 on Friday nights.

[rich_pack]

May not make it there in time , but I will go Sat. for sure. I think Del Rios stay open late that friday.

[VB Pack Fan]

Woodland fans remember this is not Conroe you playing and we are at home. Looks like you guys had a hard time putting points on them. And as for running the ball on us, you better get lots of points in the first half because the pack don,t give up much after halftime.Just look back over this season and last, we get stingy in the 3rd and 4th quarters. :eek:

[eagleike]

Seen both these teams in person this year......I will say that The Woodlands has improved offensively since Katy, but Lufkin feels invincible at home.

Pack 31
Highlanders 17

[TheDuke]

When was the last time Lufkin lost a home game?

[PACK '97]

good Question...I'll try to find out

[PurpleNation]

When was the last time Lufkin lost a home game?



2002

Tyler Lee 21 Lufkin 20 Overtime (Boy did we get hosed on converting the point conversion twice)

[PACK '97]

beat me to it

[TheDuke]

2002

Tyler Lee 21 Lufkin 20 Overtime (Boy did we get hosed on converting the point conversion twice)

WOW!! That was a close game! I guess we will have to break that record of home wins this weekend!:D

[pack68]

Guys the radio station for Lufkin is 100.1 KYBI. Also parking at Trinity is free no donations necessary. The Assembly of God Church does take donations for parking at their church.

[Packstatechamps05]

we do not lose at home

[WoodlandsHigh]

Earlier, I picked The Woodlands by 3 points. I did not predict the score. That is impossible.

The only wildcard is the home field advantage; but only due to the officials -- of which are locals. I hope we have a fair game if it gets close at the end. I still remember Humble (in Humble) two years ago. Just brutal.

Here is how it will play out.

Lufkin will be unable to run the ball for large gains. The pass will be successful for a few big gains as they will keep our defensive backs honest. They will score & the kicking game will be very important. Lufkin will fake at least one field goal.

The Woodlands will be sluggish early on offense. They will go into the locker room down by 10-14 pts, but come back in the 3rd quarter. It will take the last two drives to take the victory. Lufkin turnovers will prove costly as The Woodlands will turn them into points.

Bottomline, if our WR's & TE block, we have a chance. Getting to Lufkin's outside LB's will be the deciding factor. Linemen cannot just block once & look. They must pancake their assignment & take the player out of the play. That is the only way we will be able to score.

Woodlands by 3 pts.

You are right The Woodlands will need to get to the edge on our defense to have a chance to win. But if you are down by that much a halftime and usually we play the best defense in the second with all the adjustments Coach Quick makes then you are in trouble.

I will be very interested to see how your prediction plays out. So are you predicting a Woodlands win? I usually root for the underdog but since it's LP I have to say they win, and maybe big since it is at home.

[ktCarl]

BTW, how has the Woodz been doin' lately? What's their record now?
Looks as if The Duke has survived. How 'bout the QB situation that almost gave the Duke a heart attack earlier in the season?

[Red Raiders]

WOW!! That was a close game! I guess we will have to break that record of home wins this weekend!:D

YEP! Tyler Lee Sophmore QB was Preston Hill! when his brother was hurt. It was amazing how #6 Tyler Lee beat was #1 Lufkin at Lufkin Stadium with only soph. QB. Lufkin also lost a game in the BI-District which was very ridiculous and I do not know why and same with Longview lost their BI-District too. Its wierd that I still don't know why...

[TrojanHorse03]

I can't think of many teams that can survive been down period going in to halftime with lufkin, much less 14 pts down and at Ol' Abe. And on top of that Coach Outlaw's staff is one of the best at making halftime adjustments if not the best.

[WoodlandsHigh]

10-14 points.

I was being realistic. I see one big healty Lufkin pass for 1 TD; and not to Dez. It will be the wake up call.

Our defense does not quit. No more Javorski Lane. He had his best game against us as we continued to blitz. Lesson's learned.

The key to victory will be blocking. As simple as that.

Does Lufkin allow BBQ pits going prior to the game? I think I will skip the pizza in the concessions.

[Bootsdaddy]

This will be great. This will be the kind of atmosphere we were used to playing in the old East Texas district. PACKed houses and two great teams.

If The Woodz' O has been struggling I dont think they are going to get well at Abe against this Defense.


Lufkin 21 TWHS 7

[rich_pack]

I love it when people keep bringing up Javorskie Lane. From what I hear, expect alot of new plays from Lufkin this week that will really surprise the Woodland team.

[pack0808]

This Lufkin offense is very explosive at times but they are not completely consistent and they are not an offense that eats a lot of clock up or the defense would have even more gaudy numbers. :eek: It seems like they either score very quickly or they have a bad 3 and out series!! They are averaging 38 a game and they would be a lot more if Lufkin's 2nd string qb had not been struggling so much because the 2nd string has played a lot. They are only getting better with each game. One of my biggest problems with Lufkin is 3rd and short plays. It is almost a guarantee they will run!! about 99 percent of the time now that i think of it. That was ok when Lane was here because you could not stop him but not with the smaller rb's and an inexperienced o-line. i would mix it up more. I have seen several 3rd and short's failed due to this. I would like us to throw a stop route or a quick slant or out on those downs sometimes. I am sure Lufkin has a few plays for The Woodlands and they will be very unpredictable at times in their play calling. They are always unpredictable when playing good to great teams. I cannot wait for this one!!

[unbiasedobserver]

The Woodz gets 97 yards of total offense against KF. They manage 23 points against Conroe. Then they get 7 points at Katy, 6 Points against Northshore and 17 against Klein. If Lufkin scores twice, then this game is over.

[TheDuke]

BTW, how has the Woodz been doin' lately? What's their record now?
Looks as if The Duke has survived. How 'bout the QB situation that almost gave the Duke a heart attack earlier in the season?

Well, we have won 6 in a row and have found a QB who I think should be the starter. For some reason the JR. seems to get the start but the other always plays (who is a SR.) I think the big lift for the offense has been the transfer from LA. to help out undersized Burns at the RB. Our secondary could be one of the best I have ever seen from a Highlander team who are on almost every tackle and will be returning next year.

We have a good Defense this year and so does Lufkin so I say which ever team gives up the big play in this game will come away with the win.

I know you Pack fans say you never lose at home and your home record shows that but I wouldn't overlook this Highlander squad, they are coming together as a team now and I don't think that a road game scares them. They have played in bigger games with bigger crowds then this many times. Good luck to both teams and I am really looking forward to this game.

How about some directions once you take 59 to Lufkin?
:D

[pack0808]

Once you get into Lufkin on 59 you take a right on south medford or right on the loop. You will see chicfila and a scholtzky's and a applebee's when you turn. You will go under a under pass or two?? and then just after you pass 69 you will see a sign that says Abe Martin next right. Go all the way to the stop sign in front of the school and take another right. Self explanatory after that!!

[TheDuke]

Thanks Pack0808!! You talk with your better half yet? :D :D

[pack0808]

Thanks Pack0808!! You talk with your better half yet? :D :D


Is doubtful but you never know?? Will you take cash instead?? It would probably have to be at my house if we have some beers because she will flip if i go to some bar or restaurant with 2 guys she does not know. LOL

I totally understand, I will be with my wife at the game as well so it isn't like I will be running around drinking beer like I was in school again. I am just giving you a hard time about it. I could care less if you even give me the 30 pack actually. I like to have it on my signature, it is a nice touch! :D

Yeah nice sig jerk!! LOL Hey if you have your wife with you i have a much better shot!! I pay my bet's one way or the other. I will ship it to you if i have to. ;)

[TheDuke]

AAH no man, don't have to go that far. I am sure one way or another it will happen. Maybe we can go double or nothing next year when my Longhorns have home field advantage. Or if they win out and USC wins out (if your a USC fan) we can double it then.

[oldmanwoodlandsfan]

I guess we're just going to have to hold them to less htan 2 scores. We've done it to jsut about everyone but Katy so far.

I am not a Ohio St fan i just thought they would win at the shoe (glad i was wrong besides the 30 pack) and i am definitely not a USC fan. You know i am a Iowa Hawkeye all the way but i do cheer for UT 2nd. I cheer for the Lufkin players where ever they are at unless they are playing my Hawks. ;)

[wide-e-wide]

Bad news....Wide can't come to the game.
My daughters are cheering at the Midway High vs. Killeen game on
Friday night. It is a really big deal to them...and I want to see them
down on the field with the big girls...They are really excited.

But....................Lufkin will probably play at least one playoff game here in Waco...so we can hook up then...or if the Woodlands plays here...either way...it's cool.

Hey Duke...why don't you come to the UT/Baylor game in a few weeks. My wife and I are going to the Hornfans tailgate...it would be awesome if you could make it up for that one. I'm trying to get me Dad to come up...
Whatcha' think?

Tickets are just $35...cheapest in the Big XII...

How are you a Hawkeye fan. I believe you are the only one I know(LOL) just giving you a hard time. Did you see were my horns leaped froged USC in the BCS maybe I like this system after all.

Back tot he Subject I really think the Woodlands will be in for a Suprise when they see our WR's. The only thing that bothers me is the play calling at times. But I think well really hoping this will be another Lufkin "W"

Lufkin 28 The Woodlands 10

[oldmanwoodlandsfan]

NO team has scored more than one TD on the Woods except for the first game of Katy. No other team since then has scored more than ONE TD. Including the Katy game The Woodlands has only allowed 680 yards passing total. That comes out to about 80 yards a game. Hopefully the refs will let the kids play, but from what I've heard they are pretty partial to the Pack. I really don't think ya'll Pack fans have any idea how good this defense is.

You just dont know how good Dez Bryant is but you will find out soon. After that we Have EJ Shankle, Ralph Thomas, Marcus Rains, Thad Gordon. Michie McDuffy.

That sounds like fun! Your wife gonna be there? Or is it just you and Pops?

$35 is a pretty good price, Sucks that your not gonna be at the Woodz/Pack game but I understand.

Send me a PM of your email, I got to send you this.

They won't get to many catches if the QB is on the ground!

Just Lob it Claybon let Dez(6'3 215 40inch vert) Do the rest.

[PackAttack2005]

Wide, are you related to any of the Booker/Armstrong family? Too bad you can't make it over Friday should be a very good game, hey I understand you can't miss watching your kids, those times are a must do for them.

[WoodlandsHigh]

Lufkin has nice WR's; however, the Woodlands has a good crop of players.

Matt Bova is leading the charge with sure hands. Drabek & Grote are explosive, althought Drabek is in a horrible slump compared to last year stats. Our QB woes is part of the problem & agree with TheDuke. We seem to go with the junior (Parsons); yet, the senior (Pound) is delivering with more zip on the ball & accuracy (at least in my opinion).

I understand why you would go with the future as this was the case in Jordan Dotson's JR year. However, we need to do everything to go to state as possible.

Back to WR's & TE. They simply do not block. This is the difference in making big plays. I hope we see a better game & no dropped balls. It has been tough enough for the QB to get the ball to them... by god, don't drop it.

I change my mind. The Woodlands by 4 pts. If I had to guess? 24 - 20.

[wide-e-wide]

Wide, are you related to any of the Booker/Armstrong family? Too bad you can't make it over Friday should be a very good game, hey I understand you can't miss watching your kids, those times are a must do for them.


It's possible. Not sure would have to ask my Dad.
But my Great-Grandfather had 33 kids...no joke...
There was a big write-up and about him in the Lufkin Daily News
for holding the national record for most kids.
I framed it...with a picture of him...and gave it to my Dad as a gift
a few years ago...
So there are a lot of families with Wideman roots around the Lufkin area.
Why...does somebody know me?

[wide-e-wide]

That sounds like fun! Your wife gonna be there? Or is it just you and Pops?

$35 is a pretty good price, Sucks that your not gonna be at the Woodz/Pack game but I understand.

Send me a PM of your email, I got to send you this.


Oh my wife is coming...she will be the one in burnt orange...ahhahaha
My Dad and step-mom might come if possible...
you should come up dude...bring the wife and we can all make a day of it.
Plus.................there will be plenty of cold beer at the tailgate.

[TheDuke]

Just Lob it Claybon let Dez(6'3 215 40inch vert) Do the rest.


Sounds like Dez is BIG! :eek:

[pack0808]

How are you a Hawkeye fan. I believe you are the only one I know(LOL) just giving you a hard time. Did you see were my horns leaped froged USC in the BCS maybe I like this system after all.

Back tot he Subject I really think the Woodlands will be in for a Suprise when they see our WR's. The only thing that bothers me is the play calling at times. But I think well really hoping this will be another Lufkin "W"

Lufkin 28 The Woodlands 10


I am sure i am the only hawkeye fand you know considering we live in Texas!! ;) I bet somebody in Iowa would say the same if they met a Longhorn fan up there!! Well on second thought Iowa has several texas players like baytown lee's drew tate slc's Scott chandler and dallas ft worth's clinton solomon and on and on so i am sure there is more then me. LOL My parents were born and raised there so that is where the connection is from. My dad did it to me. top 10 for 3 years straight and a BCS bowl in 2002 is not bad. That streak will come to an end just like their 22 game home streak did this week. By the way, did you know Iowa is 3rd in putting players in the NFL over the last 3 years!! :eek: Several 1st rounders too!!

Ok onto the woodlands!! We know they have a very good defense but so does Lufkin and Lufkin's offense is much better then The Woodland's offense and they are at Abe. So there you go!! Wide i am proud of you for going to watch your kids over the big Lufkin game but i know that is going to drive you crazy not knowing what is going on. admirable though!! You done good boy!! ;)

Might have to get you or Duke's cell #'s so I can call during the game.

[oldmanwoodlandsfan]

You just dont know how good Dez Bryant is but you will find out soon. After that we Have EJ Shankle, Ralph Thomas, Marcus Rains, Thad Gordon. Michie McDuffy.


You just don't know how good this defense is, but you will soon find out.

Name whoever you want, this D will come to play.

[EasTex9]

You'll have your chance to show it soon enough. ;)

May want to bring something warm, supposed to get into the lower 60's to upper 50's by game time with a low of 45. :eek:

Clear cool night, how much better weather for football can it get!!

You'd better bring an offense that can play keep away or your D will be in for a long and tiring night. LP O is very fast, with a lot of weapons, but we'll see which O shows up for LP.

Line'em up and let'em play!!!!!! :D

LP - 28
TWHS - 10

[PackAttack2005]

You just don't know how good this defense is, but you will soon find out.

Evidently, you don't give the Lufkin defense much credit, but you will after Friday night.

[rich_pack]

This topic was on page 2, just had to update it,,,hehe

[WoodlandsHigh]

Earlier, I picked The Woodlands by 4 points. I did not predict the score. That is impossible.

The only wildcard is the home field advantage; but only due to the officials -- of which are locals. I hope we have a fair game if it gets close at the end. I still remember Humble (in Humble) two years ago. Just brutal.

Here is how it will play out.

Lufkin will be unable to run the ball for large gains. The pass will be successful for a few big gains as they will keep our defensive backs honest. They will score & the kicking game will be very important. Lufkin will fake at least one field goal.

The Woodlands will be sluggish early on offense. They will go into the locker room down by 10-14 pts, but come back in the 3rd quarter. It will take the last two drives to take the victory. Lufkin turnovers will prove costly as The Woodlands will turn them into points.

Bottomline, if our WR's & TE block, we have a chance. Getting to Lufkin's outside LB's will be the deciding factor. Linemen cannot just block once & look. They must pancake their assignment & take the player out of the play. That is the only way we will be able to score.

Woodlands by 4 pts.

No.. the subject was on page 3. Here is what will happen.... unless the refs call the game..

[oldmanwoodlandsfan]

I never underestimated the LP defense, I never said anything about them. Although you obviously underestimate he Woodlans D. You have no idea what is coming.

[Kingwolf]

SOMEBODY TAPE THE GAME, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be in mesquite watching my Lobos hammer NM.......


Lufkin 31 TWS 13

[pack0808]

I never underestimated the LP defense, I never said anything about them. Although you obviously underestimate he Woodlans D. You have no idea what is coming.


We saw them last year and Lane had about 220 plus and Lufkin had well over 400 total yards and 35 points!! ;) Nah, i know they are a much improved defense just like Lufkin is. Lufkin still had a top 10 defense last year even though The Woodlands had their share of yardage and points also. This year's LP defense is 10 times better and i am sure the same goes for the Woodlands. I think these are 2 of the best defense's in the state going at it Friday night. I think the top 5 defense's are 1. Lufkin 2. westfield 3. Katy 4.NS 5. The Woodlands I think Schertz Clemens is right up there also with Longview, Dallas Carter and maybe even SLC!! :eek: Should be fun to watch these 2 defense's.

Didn't we score 28 points on that Lufkin Defense? I think we did!!
:D

[pack0808]

Didn't we score 28 points on that Lufkin Defense? I think we did!!
:D


Yeah it was the 2nd most points Lufkin gave up all year. The only team that had more vs Lufkin last year was SLC with 37. This defense is so much better this year it is not even funny. They are scary good and it is at Abe and The Woodlands has struggled on offense this year. Yall will be lucky to get 10 unless it comes from special teams or your defense causing turnovers deep in Lufkin's territory. And besides 35 is bettter then 28 duke!! ;)

[TheDuke]

With out Lane you wouldn't have had 35 Pack!

I love how you think your gonna score right and left on this Defense. I can't wait until tomorrow night!!

LET'S GET IN ON!!!

GO HIGHLANDERS!!!! :D

Who on earth said that Lufkin was going to score left and right on The Woodlands?? I know i did not?? :confused: And the Lane thing kills me!! LOL We heard the same thing about Reggie!! Lufkin is only averaging 38 points a game this year without him and every good offense has a stand out that they use more then other's come on man?? That would be like saying if the Colt's did not have Manning or if UT did not have Young etc etc etc I know The Woodlands is by far the best defense Lufkin has faced so i do not think they will get near that many. I say 24-7 or 31-7 with a defensive td. We will see tommorrow?? It could be a 10-3 game with these defenses??

[TheDuke]

Nobody has to say it, when you Pack fans are predicting a 31-7 or 24-7 win over us I just assumed you ment your Offense is gonna roll over us! They are averaging 38 point s a game against SCRUBS!!!

Did you know that Shore averaged 40 + a game and we held them to 7? Hmmmmm........ GO HIGHLANDERS!!

[oldmanwoodlandsfan]

24-17 Woodlands

[LPFAN]

24-17 Woodlands
If we lose, no excuses here. If you lose will we hear excuses? I don't know if the officiating crew will be from around here but I have already seen one of your guys already trying to use that as an excuse if you lose. Was it you?Someone tried that a few games back but the crew was actually out of the Houston area. I don't think we will lose but that does not mean it is not possible. So if your team loses take it like a man and don't make excuses.

when i say 31-7 it is because i think the defense will cause turnovers and pin The Woodland's deep. Plus i know Lufkin is capable of having some big passing play's on anybody. Some of those SCRUBS you are talking about Lufkin played gave The Woodlands hell and The Woodland's had trouble scoring on them besides Huntsville. Either way i know The Woodlands defense is very good and i am well aware they held NS to 6. I also know that Katy put 30 on them but that had a lot to do with a very bad Woodlands offense in that game. I think Lufkin can do a similar thing that Katy did to The Woodlands. Just my opinion nothing more. We will see?/

[TheDuke]

Are you saying if you lose your not gonna say anything or make excuses? Come on man! You guys have alot more to lose then we do in this game!

"Nobody wins in Ole Abe"

I have been hearing that for weeks! So who has more to lose here? I have a feeling if we can pull it off (and the odds are against us) We are gonna hear all kinds of excuses from Pack fans! I know it id gonna be loud and purple but that doesn't matter to us. We will play good Football on both sides.

I hear ya! Katy is much better then us, and we are a totally different team now. I think Katy would beat either team. We will see, I am ready, just got my tickets. How long a drive is it? Less then 2 hrs.?

If you are referring to me please note that I only speak for myself. Did I say that you would not hear any excuses from all Pack fans? No! I said you would not hear it from me. I never said I would not say anything if we lose and I never said anything about nobody winning at Abe. Besides that is not true because the Pack wins there all the time. I know you were really trying to say that Lufkin fans say Lufkin does not lose at Abe. Well they haven't lately and they don't plan on doing it tomorrow. I am not saying it can't happen but I still say it is not likely to change tomorrow night. Don't get my comments mixed up with other Lufkin fan comments and don't try to tie them all together and respond to me. My statement was plain and simple.

[TheDuke]

Your are correct, my mistake. See you at the game. :D

GO HIGHLANDERS!!!

[oldmanwoodlandsfan]

I would put a lot of money on Katy winning state again this year. No one has come close to them and they look very good. I hope to see them beat the you know what outta SLC when the time comes.

On to TWH v LP. I know whoever loses this game will be making excuses of some sort. Excuses are like a**holes, everybody has them, they all stink.... BUT you still need them. :D :D

[TWHPA]

Tyler Lee beat them at home 2 or 3 years ago and then they beat Tyler Lee at their home.....if I remember right.

[unbiasedobserver]

I can't see the Woodz scoring on Lufkin. We have not been able to score more than three TDs on even the middle of the pack teams. I also worry about the pass defense. Katy lit up the secondary like it was Christmas. We have not seen a decent passing game since then. I think all the references to the Northshore score are a little out of place. Their coach gave up 3 extra point distance field goals to try for seven. The Shore had no passing game and this Woodz defense can definitely stop the run. If we win it will be with special teams and/or points from the defense much like the KF game.
This should be a good test for Lufkin's O line which from what I have read(not seen) is the weak spot on the team. If Lufkin wins it will be with big plays. I don't think they will be able to consistently move the ball on long drives against the Woodz front seven. I look for Bryant to have a big night.
Lufkin 30 The Woodz 7...same as Katy.

[TheDuke]

This all could be true BUT...... I think we are much better team since Katy! We have a solid RB now that we have the transfer, and if the same QB that has been playing can get A LITTLE time to throw then we have a shot at scoring. We have to carry the Offense with our Defense.

NO BIG PLAYS or we lose!

[unbiasedobserver]

We won't know til Friday night. I am headed down with the family. I graduated from LHS and my kids go to TWHS. Its a family fued this week.

[WoodlandsHigh]

Sorry to disappoint anybody, but Woodlands by 4.

Last few drives & Lufkin turnovers will benefit us.

[pack0808]

Speaking of Katy and playing at Abe ask them how they enjoyed the trip in 2003!! Trust me it was not pretty!! ;) Katy only went 15-1 that year and won the div2 5a state championship over SLC. That is how tough it is to play at Abe. Lufkin is scary tough there. We are not making it up!! Yes the last loss at Abe was to Tyler Lee in 2002 when Lufkin lost 21-20 in ot in pouring rain. Lufkin has beat Tyler Lee at Abe 2 times in a row since including last year when Lee went on to win the div1 state championship.

[pack98]

well i am going to steal a quote from a Seal friend of mind out here in sandiego.

"just realize the panthers are going to win and get over it"

he really says "just realize you are scared and get over it and kill someone"

those navy seals are crazy but he is a good guy and it is nice to know that we have people like him out there that are just willing to do anything to defend our freedom. sure i am in the navy but i am safe considering what all he has to go threw.

just thought i would say something. Go panthers just win at abe and move on to next weeks game.

GO PANTHERS

I had some great news this week. I'm going to be a grandfather. & an old friend(room mate from college/ football) called this week & he is coming up for The Woodlands game. His son is a back up WR for The Woodlands. We haven't seen each other for 20 years. We will both be on the sidelines to watch the game(better news). He will have a ticket for sale. See yall at the game.

There you go again, pack, raggin' on us poor ol' Katy fans about the 2003 debacle at Abe. At least this time you mentioned that we won State that year. I missed both Katy/Lufkin games 'cause I rarely travel that far unless it's a playoff game. I still would like to see the Abe stadium sometime.

NEWAY, I predicted earlier in this thread a Lufkin win. Should be a good game for fans of both teams. Woodz has a good D and it will be a good playoff warm up for Lufkin's O and coaching staff plus a good measuring stick on how much Woodz has improved.

[PackAttack2005]

Abe will be rocking tonight. Lufkin 24-13.

[Pantherdan]

I am glad to hear that the Woodz has improved on offense. I am also glad to hear they have an impressive defense. I would still have to repeat what is being said here. IT AINT EASY TO WIN IN ABE!!! With that being said this game is the game of District. I hope its clean and fair. With all the support those great Woodz fans showed last year while Lufkin made that deep run in the playoffs. Two great teams with great fans. I hopw for no injuries and wish luck to both teams in coming games.

I knew you would get me for that!! LOL I was just making a point how tough it is to win at Abe. Everybody knows Katy got the last laugh that season.

[Pantherdan]

Ive allways been here. Just when everything I want to say has been said why repeat it lol. I think Lufkin wins this one myself. 33- 14. These guys are pumped as well as the Woodz players. Regardless who wins I will be behind both teams come monday. Friday is all about the Panthers though. I will be unable to attend as I have a youth camp to attend. I will have all the little tikes gathered around the radio listening though. lol.

[TheDuke]

I don't know about the rest of the Woodz fans, but I am ready to see Ole Abe!! Everyone has been talking about it so long I can't wait to see it. Got my tickets and will be heading that way around 5. Regardless who wins this will (I hope) be a great game with some good athletes and some good support. Good Luck to all and see you tonight!!!

[TWHPA]

5:00 puts you there at kick-off...it will be standing room only at that point...someone on another thread said it only holds 10,000....

[PACK '97]

This is true...I (if possible) would leave earlier...maybe by 3 or 4....just so you can have a seat.

[c-lisle]

Earlier, I picked The Woodlands by 3 points. I did not predict the score. That is impossible.

Bottomline, if our WR's & TE block, we have a chance. Getting to Lufkin's outside LB's will be the deciding factor. Linemen cannot just block once & look. They must pancake their assignment & take the player out of the play. That is the only way we will be able to score.

[LPFAN]

You just don't know how good this defense is, but you will soon find out.

Name whoever you want, this D will come to play.
Still waiting to find out. Not that they were bad but you made it seem like our offense would not even be able to score.

[WoodlandsHigh]

keep this guys prediction in mind....i will be watching to see how it plays out

Wow!

Here is how it will play out.

Lufkin will fake at least one field goal?

* Did not have to.... The defense was too busy scoring.

The Woodlands will be sluggish early on offense. They will go into the locker room down by 10-14 pts, but come back in the 3rd quarter.

* Well, we just did not do it.

Lufkin turnovers will prove costly as The Woodlands will turn them into points.

* It turned out to be the other way around

Bottomline, if our WR's & TE block, we have a chance. Getting to Lufkin's outside LB's will be the deciding factor. Linemen cannot just block once & look. They must pancake their assignment & take the player out of the play. That is the only way we will be able to score.

* This was a big disappointment. When I saw the Lufkin RB turn it the other direction & score a TD, it was because the other players took note & just blew away some Woodland defenders which allowed for the score. We have two holes in our blocking & it showed.

Congrads ! Lufkin will do well in the playoffs. Right now, I'm licking my wounds. I don't see how we are going to get pass SLC. Not if we don't block.

Woodlands by 3 pts.

* You have to be positive.

[LPFAN]

With out Lane you wouldn't have had 35 Pack!

I love how you think your gonna score right and left on this Defense. I can't wait until tomorrow night!!

LET'S GET IN ON!!!

GO HIGHLANDERS!!!! :D
2004 With Lane - 35

When will people realize that Lufkin can get it done without Lane?

Thanks! I say you have just as good a shot at SLC as any other top notch team in Texas that can step up to the challenge. Look what happened to them tonight. They pulled out the win but it was not easy. I really look for some suprises in the playoffs.

[WoodlandsHigh]

I just review the game stats.... We really put it on to Lufkin. When I said Woodlands by 4 & how, it was just the opposite.

Our defense really held you guys up & rush the ball.

Yeah you guys had some massive rushing yards too. Wasn't it like well over 200?

Great game and atmosphere. What can I say? Our senior defensive leaders - Leonard Hewitt; Mandela Roberts and Jamie Harris - all had touchdowns from the defensive side. These guys will be missed next year.

EJ Shankle and Dez Bryant both had 60+ return yards - giving LP a short field on at least 4 occassions.

I was actually much more impressed with The Woodz O than D. They ran all up and down the field last night - both Smalls and Montague. Not sure why your coach trades out qb's so regularly - no. 18 appeared much stronger than the first qb. Of course, remember -- when a D puts up 21 points-- the downside is you go back out on the field -- and TWHS had long drives after each D td -- maturity on their part. Conversely, the Highlanders D seemed very slow to me - they played smart and did well on the run, but I honestly think we would have scored 35 on them by pass if the D had not been scoring.

TWHS band was great - and huge. Sorry to Duke and gang the introduction to Abe had to be with 3 defensive TD's -- but it's a tough place to play in.

With out Lane you wouldn't have had 35 Pack!

I love how you think your gonna score right and left on this Defense. I can't wait until tomorrow night!!

LET'S GET IN ON!!!

Hope you got what you wanted out of the game Duke. :)

Rich - their D was pretty decent, but we moved the ball effectively. When your D scores 21 -- it kinda messes up your O's momentum :) -- I'll take as many of those types of wins that you give me though against a good team.

Amen! A great performance on both sides of the ball. I for one was happy to see the D get on the board for a change. Made the game more fun.

Would have been nice if we didn't turn the ball over for 3 TD's but hey, Pack is a MUCH better team then we are.

Also, Abe Martin, One of the best stadiums I have been to (Love the Purple LP sign from far away!) Very nice field and everything. One complaint, Don't play commercials in between plays, very annoying, but I guess you have to pay for that score board somehow. Had a great night, great night for Football, Lufkin looks good on Defense, Offense is so so, but WOW, You guys got some SPEEEED!!!! Good Luck, and Congrats in another 14-5A District title!:D

2004 With Lane - 35
2005 Without Lane - 42

When will people realize that Lufkin can get it done without Lane?

Come on now! Don't forget about 21 points from the Defense!

With Lane - 35
With out - 21

Hey woods fans it takes a team to win, that is why there is offense and defense. The Ravens won a super bowl with no offense and a killer defense.

I know what the defense did. It is very simple to understand. Everyone thought we would not be able to do much this year without Lane. Take Lane out of the equation and we have a TEAM effort on BOTH sides of the ball to win games. All games are not won by offensive or defensive stats or scores alone. It takes a TEAM effort to put up points on the board and our offense and defense managed to do that well against the Woodlands. 3 TD's on both sides of the ball is pretty good. Good Luck in the playoffs. I have a good feeling that there will be some suprises in D1. More on that later.

I agree with you about the commercials Duke- annoying is mild - do all teams with replays do that? Our goofballs still occassionally run commercials when an opposing team player is down on the field - how moronic is that? They have gotten better - but still bad. Our O was a bit sluggish - but, seriously it is hard on the offensive rythm when the D scores 21.

If we lose, no excuses here. If you lose will we hear excuses? I don't know if the officiating crew will be from around here but I have already seen one of your guys already trying to use that as an excuse if you lose. Was it you?Someone tried that a few games back but the crew was actually out of the Houston area. I don't think we will lose but that does not mean it is not possible. So if your team loses take it like a man and don't make excuses.
Well I guess the excuses have come out anyway.

Hey Woodlands....let it go!
It's not like the score was 21-20...
it wasn't even close.

Give me a break guys, GOOD GAME!! DON'T LET YOUR HEADS GET ANY BIGGER! :D :D
