Lufkin VS COVE

[pack98]

Let the picks start.



I am going with Lufkin by 7 on this game.

going to be a great game to good teams man this one can go either way. it is sad that a team is going to end 13-1 after next week.

GO PANTHERS.

GOOD GAME S.G. your d played well in the second half

[DawgsFanForLife]

LOL i knew this was comming soon.
I think Lufkin has the advantage but you better be ready as i can assure that Cove will be ready to pull off the upset. HH gave you a scare so we are pumped and ready to get the job done.

DFFL

[SLCDRGN]

Should be a great game!! I have to go with Lufkin by 14. They have been there and know what it is all about. I believe it will be a great learning/growing experience for Cove.

And the following week......

SLC/Lufkin....Round 3!! Would not miss it for the world!!

[pack98]

you got to have this poll.

i dont think that it would be a upset if cove wins the game. they are 13-0 and have a senior team and can play football. the surprise of this game would be if either team just shuts out the other and beats them like SLC did abaline that would be a surprise.

this one is going to be a good game. good matchups across the board. cant wait for this one. going to be fun.

GO PANTHERS

[FootballJunkie]

Well I guess it's pretty much official now. I am hearing KYLE field as a location although nothing is in stone yet. I will be pulling for COVE and it should be a great game. Traditional power vs Newcomer. speed vs speed. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!:D


Better watch those penalties next week LP!!

[supercentex]

I just heard Waco ISD Stadium also.....if so that would be SRO

[pack98]

outlaw is talking to the cove people. Waco is nice but that stadium will be to small for these 2 teams. maybe we can play at floyd case. but not waco isd were you going to put all the fans. talk about tons of people just coming to the game to see the matchup i expect atleast 20,000 for this game.

GO PANTHERS

[BAMF cowboy]

i say lufkin, they just have too much playoff/big game experience

[CCDawgs05]

Coach Welch told us that if Lufkin wins, it would be Kyle Field on Satuday at either noon or 2pm.....he said he wanted Waco ISD but it would be too small for a game like this.....

[pack98]

Going to be dang good game today the pack had NFL player on the sidlines and the aggie star. javoskie and reggie. that is what i love about being a panther all the former panthers show up and support our team no matter what. I am proud to be from lufkin and love the panthers.

win or loose Panthers will always be #1 in my heart and hey just have to get ready to play next year.

GO PANTHERS.

Ps. j. clayborn broke Reggies td passes on the season set the year that lufkin won state.

[CCDawgs05]

what kind of offense does lufkin run????....do they pass or run more????

[supercentex]

They are saying Floyd Casey now.........but Cove coaches want it at Kyle......

[pack98]

wide open spread the field and throw and run. same like SLC we will lineup in 4 WR sets 5 wr sets or with a RB. it all depends we got 4 good WR and 2 all state players at that spot in E.J. shankle and Dez bryand and we got a all state CB in l. Hewitt and a great lb in mandella roberts.

this game will be college scouts all over the place.

[wide-e-wide]

They are saying Floyd Casey now.........but Cove coaches want it at Kyle......

I say Floyd Casey ...:D please

[CCDawgs05]

i hope its floyd casey too....dont wanna go all the way to college station

[supercentex]

Friday! 730! Floyd Casey! All Cen-tex Will Be There!

Cove fans will travel where ever the game is played. You don't sound like a true DAWG fan. If you are than you know the fans of Cove will travel any where. It's does'nt matter where we play Jack and staff will have the bozy ready

Pack98 make sure you also bring your A plus game. Don't play like you did against Haker Heights our third place finisher.

[trooper82d]

i say lufkin, they just have too much playoff/big game experience
Here we go about the history thing. This is 2005 DragonCrew06.

[pack98]

Lufkin will bring there A game. hey harker played a good game i see over your schedule that you onlybeat waco 29-21 what happned they did not even make the playoffs. you can say lots of things about who we have played who yall have played the simple thing is this is going to be a great game and next Friday at Flyod case the panthers will be ready and i am sure that cove will to.

keys to Victory for both teams.

1. win the turnover battle

GO PANTHERS

[Ailani]

I've been looking forward to this match-up since the middle of October. Should be a great game. Heard a lot about the Panthers. Never seen them in person so this should be a treat. Old time powerhouse versus up and coming powerhouse. Speed versus speed. Good coaching versus...well we get the picture. I hope it is at Floyd Casey, but would travel anywhere to see this match-up. If I'm not mistaken, this will be Cove's first game at FC. First game and first win. LOL

I predict Cove 24 - Lufkin 20.

Get 'em Dawgs.

[supercentex]

ON A FRIDAY at 730PM? You think all those Pack fans are going to travel? I don't think so...it takes them 3 plus hours to get to Waco. It takes Cove a little over an hour.

Stop crying about how long it will take the Purple Passion fans to travel. Did you here the Cove fans complain about traveling to Round Rock ISD Stadium to play Leander. Leander was only 15 minutes away. Who cares about the time distance. If you are a true fan, you will be there supercentex. Cove rules Supercentex.

[PantherStang84]

You think all those Pack fans are going to travel?

The Panther Nation will be there, but go ahead and keep thinking they won't show.

[FootballJunkie]

The Panther Nation will be there, but go ahead and keep thinking they won't show.

I believe it will be packed!!! Purple on one side and Blue on the other. Can not wait to see this one!!!

GOOO DAWGS!!!:D

[taco_bockley]

It does not matter if lufkin played at 3 am in elpaso at christmas the fans's will follow including my self

[lonny23]

I go down swinging. Give me Cove by 7.

[LPanther]

Old time powerhouse versus up and coming powerhouse.

Making it to this round for the first time in school history makes CC an up and coming powerhouse?

[pack0808]

Pack98 make sure you also bring your A plus game. Don't play like you did against Haker Heights our third place finisher.


And make sure yall do not play like you did vs Waco?? Didn't HH have a 4th quarter lead on yall also? Wait HH never had a 4th quarter lead on Lufkin? Keep using the HH game as a measuring stick that is fine. Hays was saying a similar thing last week about stuff like that because they beat Cedar Park by 14 and Cedar Park beat HH's 35-0. head to head is what matters and Lufkin simply knows how to win. By the way, Lufkin has won region 2 three out the last four year's not Cove. Region 2 belongs to Lufkin until somebody beats them.


Tell me you are a teenager with all this insane smack talk you dish out on a weekly basis right?

[Favpack]

Lufkin VS Cove

Playing @ friday 7:30 floyd case stadium
Was Kyle Field not available? Seems LP would have preferred that site to Baylor? And, why Fri at 7:30 - just seems odd if A&M was available.

[FootballJunkie]

Was Kyle Field not available? Seems LP would have preferred that site to Baylor? And, why Fri at 7:30 - just seems odd if A&M was available.

Considering Kyle is closer for Lufkin that would have seemed logical. I guess LP coach likes Waco since 3 of the 4 this year will have been their. It is interesting though:confused:

[supercentex]

Lukfin got greedy and tried to win another game at Nac.....they lost the flip and Cove coaches got Baylor Stadium on Friday.

[Favpack]

Lukfin got greedy and tried to win another game at Nac.....they lost the flip and Cove coaches got Baylor Stadium on Friday.
That makes no sense Super - seems you guys would have selected A&M - was this a home/home flip? I haven't heard - just seems both teams probably wanted Kyle -- I don't care that much but I always prefer Sat. afternoon over Fri. night.

[supercentex]

Why A&M? Waco is alot closer than College Station.

What happens is they flip first for a home and home...or neutral. After that flip if it's home and home...they flip for that either NAC or Baylor. Cove won that.........

[Favpack]

I'm not following you at all. IF the coaches can't decide on a neutral site at all - then they flip home/home. I assume what you're saying is correct - they flipped home/home and CC won and selected Baylor. Which is closer to CC - Baylor or Kyle Field? Floyd Casey is a bigggg stretch to be your home field IMO - whatever, it doesn't matter.

[supercentex]

There is really nothing big enough close to Copperas Cove.........Baylor is the closest big stadium and it takes about an hour or so to get there from Cove..........

Lufkin coaches did the same thing they did last week.....


1. Both coahces flipped for either a home and home.....or a neutral site
2. Since the flip came up home and home........
3. They flipped again to see where it would be......Texas Stadium or Nac (Baylor or Nac this week)

[Shoot2thrill]

Cove fans will travel where ever the game is played. You don't sound like a true DAWG fan. If you are than you know the fans of Cove will travel any where. It's does'nt matter where we play Jack and staff will have the bozy ready

Like your team has a lot of experience at this. Gimme a break.

You don't know what you're talking about. Lufkin opted for Tyler as a neutral site - but Garland wouldn't agree - so a home/home flip was made. Lufkin wanted Kyle Field as a neutral site - if CC didn't agree to it - then the home/home toss was made and CCove won. To my knowledge Lufkin ALWAYS opts for a neutral site because we travel so well. Don't come here saying what Lufkin did Super when you have no clue.

[PowerPack'd]

LOL i knew this was comming soon.
I think Lufkin has the advantage but you better be ready as i can assure that Cove will be ready to pull off the upset. HH gave you a scare so we are pumped and ready to get the job done.

DFFL
I'm not sure we have the advantage. You guys are scoring more and giving up fewer points than we are in the playoffs so far.

It should be a good game. Hopefully we will rise to the occasion like we did today against South Garland.

You may be right. I don't know how they do it, but why would you flip if the coaches agree on a neutral site? Also, I did hear that there were three flips for today's game, but I don't know what each one was for. Where did you get your info?

[supercentex]

Well whatever they picked Tyler last week...I don't really care....all I know is they flipped THREE times today.....I don't know the exact thing...but this is from the LUFKIN PANTHER WEBSITE ON WHAT HAPPENED.....


Disappointed, you should be, because Outlaw lost the flip. The Copperas Cove coaches got exactly what they wanted.

They have a huge fan base and now only need to drive 1 hour to the game Friday night, it was their intention all along was to get an advantage on Lufkin. They are not dumb at all, they knew Lufkin had a big fan base and they also knew it would bw hard for Lufkin fans to make it to Waco on a Friday night.

Copperas Cove took the gamble and won the coin toss, they got what they wanted.

[PowerPack'd]

Cove will have more fans there.......... you have to think being on a Friday night....Pack fans won't just be able to leave work and go.......
You under estimate the panther fans. When the pack is in the playoffs we roll up the sidewalks!

[PowerPack'd]

Making it to this round for the first time in school history makes CC an up and coming powerhouse?
Up and coming...yes. Powerhouse? Only if they can repeatedly go deep in the playoffs.

[Lp78]

SuperC, It really dosen't matter if we play Wen,Thur,Fri, or Sat. 7:30 pm or am. The best team will win this game. Waco is nothing new here. Believe me, Lufkin fans will be there in the #s. Should be a great game!

[grayowl60]

Tradition and playoff savy (especially for coachs) does make a difference, Very few teams making a deep playoff run for the first time, get a ring. Lufkin will match speed for speed, and can pass, Garland could not. Hope they can cut down on penalties. Cant wait for the Lufkin, SLC rematch. just dont play it at Texas Stadium.
My guess:
Lufkin 31
Cove 24

[KT2000]

I think Lufkin needs to play one of their best games of the season to win this game. Cove is playing very well right now, and beat three quality opponents impressively to be in this position. Lufkin has also done a few things right to get in this position, but I think Cove is playing better football right now. This should be a great game.

I'm not sure how well Cove travels, but I know Lufkin will bring their normal big and vocal crowd.

i agree w/ this...Cove will definately be the best opponent we have faced all year....here they have a great defense and the offense can score some points...sounds like a direct reflection of the PACK...I have to say Lufkin can win this game (any team, anytime)..pending on if they come out and play to their ability and play smart...Its going to come down to execution with 2 great teams playing each other....Any given weekend for either team...We can talk all the talk, but we'll have to wait 6 days to see who walks.

If I am correct, you will soon be saying Region 2 belongs to Lufkin in the past tense.

This is from a previous post of mine:

One never knows.... for instance to me one of the hardest opponents Cove faced this season on a particular Friday night was the Waco Lions who only won maybe 2 games this season. However on their big rivarly night with Copperas Cove, they played their best and Copperas Cove had to play their best in 3 OT's to defeat them. On that particular night Waco could have beaten many other teams in our region.

That game is one that helped us prepare for the playoffs.......

[supercentex]

What was the score of the Klein Forest/Lufkin game?

[DawgsFanForLife]

This game will not be decided on this message board but by the men on Friday night in Waco.

Go ahead Dawgs - Pull on that pussycat's tail. 13-5A didn't quiet get a clean sweep on 14-5A in that first round, finish the job Heights started.

It's going to be a tight game. Too close to call. No doubt Lufkin has a good team. Cove does too. One thing for sure, Friday nite in Waco is gonna be a blast. GO DAWGS.

[PACK '97]

Will someone tell me if i had an inferior education...please

We changed this a few years ago when the whole ebonics thing was getting kicked around. Hell i like it. It may not be correct to what the old timers are used to but we all have to change or we get old. LOL no offense to your possible age.

DFFL

[nowsthetime]

The choice of sites can go three ways. Both coaches can agree to a neutral site, in which case there is no flip. Or they can filp for a "home neutral" site, which is what Waco is for Cove. Or they can flip for "home/home" in which case they play at the home field of whoever wins the toss. They also flip to see who will be the home team and who will be visitor.

Dont worry...im not offendend by my age (under 30 and love hip/hop Dawg..yous knows what i be statin')

just chatting late night with the DAWG fans

[KT2000]

Pack 97, I definitely think Lufkin can win this game. However, my honest thinking on this game is that Lufkin needs to play much better than they have so far in the playoffs, and Cove needs to be careful and not get caught up in themselves.

Cove has never been this far before, and it'd be easy to lose your head as a team. However, focus must be maintained. Lufkin has been here and done this many times, so I don't think they'll be phased at all.

Experience counts for a lot in my opinion, so I really think Cove needs to be careful and not get caught up in the hoopla this week. Lufkin can embarrass them if they do.

From a pure football point of view, I don't think I'm stretching it to say Cove is playing better football right now but we'll see how much that means when the ball is kicked off on Friday.

[DawgsFanForLife]

LMAO i figured i was older than ya and i did not say that to offend anyone that might get offended.

Dogs was just proper and old and had a history with our losing seasons. Changes have been good and since the change we have actually won a few games and made the playoffs.

Is a state title posible? So far the answer is yes, at least for 6 more days and after the game it may be another week possible til the end.

Go DAWGS lets do it all this year.

I am slowly giving into the aging effect. I also catch myself looking at what the hs kids are wearing and asking how that is possibly in style? What happened i was just 18 I swear?? :eek: I still feel and act like a teenager at times though. :eek:

Just a side note to Dawg fans, if I do pick Cove this week I wouldn't get all that excited ;) because Lufkin wins every time I get the nerve to pick against them!

KT

I do agree with you in all aspects...LP cannot make the mistakes they have made the past 3 rounds and expect a win...personally, i have not seen Cove play this year, but their record speaks for itself...period...13-0 in a tough district....all i hope for is the best out of the PACK on friday...Its all about matchups, and we will see in 6 days. I'm not going to lie...I (being from LP) believe the PACK can definately win, but your right...they have to bring it with minimal mistakes.

--main thing im worried about is the mental mistakes and discipline (it showed today)

[DawgsFanForLife]

ROTFLMFAO AGAIN!!

I did that too. I look at my youngest who is in to all the new style stuff and i figure i can't beat him so i will work with him and accept the things he likes.

Amazing how we change as we get older.

HAHA kt you have to go with Cove man please?? ;) Wait, you picked Lufkin to win both times vs SLC correct? If Lufkin wins this game you have to go with SLC Period!! No excuses at all

[Ailani]

Making it to this round for the first time in school history makes CC an up and coming powerhouse?

I believe so. And I emphasize UP AND COMING. We're not there yet, but we've done everything else. We've been to the playoffs 7 of the last 8 years. We've won a bunch of district titles in what has proven to be a tough district. We have accumulated a large fan base that follows it everywhere. We've put over 50 kids into the college ranks in the last 5 years. And we've had several make NFL rosters. Again, I know Lufkin and many other POWERHOUSES have much better numbers than that. That's why I say we're not their yet, but we're up and coming. We've gotta continue to make it to the playoffs every year and go deep into the playoffs and win state before we can claim powerhouse status. But all the pieces have been there for Cove and they've taken a couple of steps this year.

If the post comes off as being defensive, it's not meant to be. I look forward to seeing the Purple Nation and the Panthers for the first time and especially to a great game Friday night. I believe Friday will be Texas high school football at its best.

[LPanther]

And we've had several make NFL rosters.
Hmmmm.....interesting, who are these "several" NFL players you speak of?

[FootballJunkie]

Hmmmm.....interesting, who are these "several" NFL players you speak of?

Charles Tillman for the Chicago Bears for one.

[Ailani]

Hmmmm.....interesting, who are these "several" NFL players you speak of?

Charles Tillman is a starting corner for the Bears. TJ Hollowell is with the Giants. I know he made their practice squad and I heard he got moved up. But don't quote me on that. We also had a QB for the Oilers, can't think of his name right now, back about ten years. He was a backup.

The point I was trying to make is we've begun putting the pieces together, and that includes putting people into the pros. Not a lot, but since Jack Welch came along about 10 years ago, we've slowly built our program.

Cove -V- Lufkin should be a very good game between 2 very good defenses.

Cove-If you have seen Cove play you know they are a VERY well disciplined.Jack Weltch gets this team prepared for Coves oppent as well as any coach in High school football. Cove has good team speed, and a overall GREAT defense. The D lead by Tim Achinenson, doesnt seem to be prone to giving up very many big plays over 30 yards. I think this team can contain Lufkins offense.

Lufkin-Has a GREAT defense. I have watched a couple of Lufkins games and they are straight up fast. There speed is simple electric. I think Lufkin will dominate coves rushing attack and force Gardner to pass. I may be wrong but gardners never throws the ball very much in a game,correct? I wonder if Gardner can hold the weight of the Lufkins defense of his shoulder............If Cove cant run the ball, Id say LP wins big.


In the end I say lufkin wins in a close game. I think lufkins athletic ability will be a little to much for Cove...

[CoveDawg2000]

Charles Tillman is a starting corner for the Bears. TJ Hollowell is with the Giants. I know he made their practice squad and I heard he got moved up. But don't quote me on that. We also had a QB for the Oilers, can't think of his name right now, back about ten years. He was a backup.

The point I was trying to make is we've begun putting the pieces together, and that includes putting people into the pros. Not a lot, but since Jack Welch came along about 10 years ago, we've slowly built our program.


You are correct Tillman plays for the Bears. Howard Hodges plays for the Charges, TJ Hollowell signed with the NY Jets. TJ was practice squad of the Giants but signed with the Jets. Vontez Duff drafted buy the Texans, cut then was on the practice squad of the Steelers; as far as I know he got cut and is not playin.

[CoveDawg2000]

I would like to correct myself, T.J. Hollowell signed with the Jets then was traded to the Dolphins

[COVE THUNDER]

I see that we are the underdogs in this pole. I like it.. Go Gettem Dawgs..;)

[Jordon1804]

Cove is the most underrated ranked team in the state. They are carrying a chip on their shoulders from last years surprise play-off loss. Neither team will not over look one another and they would be crazy to do so. So that means they weill be focused as will Lufkin. Cove does not make mistakes and I think that will win them the ball game. Lufkin is good and I have watched them play but I just think this will be Cove's comming out game. It will be tight and intense for the whole game. Lufkin could come up and take it to another level but I see it staying close. I have no problem with Lufkin being the odds on Fav but don't insult Cove by picking Lufkin by double digits. Can not wait to see it, will be a barn-burner.... cove sneaks by Lufkin.

I dont agree with you on that they have a chip on there shoulders from last year or any other years.. but do appreciate your support...

[huge-cove-fan]

i do like to be the underdog. But we still have speed to, so dont think for one sec. that there all faster then us

[CoveFan05]

Vontez duff......


Cove -V- Lufkin should be a very good game between 2 very good defenses.

Cove-If you have seen Cove play you know they are a VERY well disciplined.Jack Weltch gets this team prepared for Coves oppent as well as any coach in High school football. Cove has good team speed, and a overall GREAT defense. The D lead by Tim Achinenson, doesnt seem to be prone to giving up very many big plays over 30 yards. I think this team can contain Lufkins offense.

Lufkin-Has a GREAT defense. I have watched a couple of Lufkins games and they are straight up fast. There speed is simple electric. I think Lufkin will dominate coves rushing attack and force Gardner to pass. I may be wrong but gardners never throws the ball very much in a game,correct?

Last week Garner was 14-17 for 180 yds and 2 td's. His incompletions were a dropped TD pass and 2 balls thrown out of bounds

[pack98]

The pack D showed up against S.G and the O put up the points it needed and the pack won the game now we play COVE. this is going to be a good game. if the Pack D can shut down the running game of COVe like it did S.G and make them pass then it will be a long day for the Cove players the pack secondary is very good. This is going to be a fun game and dont worry lufkin fans will be there. it is going to be fun. i would say that there is no underdog in this game both teams are the same and it is going to come down to the turnover game who ever makes the most will get beat. that is what you can say about football for the most part turnovers and flags loose games. the pack has to cut back on the flags and play a turnover free game.

I say lufkin by 7. either in a high scoring game or a big time D game.

GO PANTHERS

LETS GO PANTHER NATION LETS KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE.

NOTHING BUT PURPLE AND GOLD ALL THE WAY LUFKIN PANTHERS!!!!!LETS GO!!!

[PurpleNation]

It will be key for Cove to Pass the football. If they come in trying to pund it down the throat of the Purple Shirt defense there in for a rude awakening. Lufkin must play there game with as few mistakes as possible. One simple turnover can cost either team. Saturday Lufkin erupted in the passing game by dismantling the best secdonary it had faced all season. Claybon had an outstanding game throwing 3 TD's in the first half before costing for the easy 25-7 win. Cove has that bend but dont brake defense wich can cause Lufkin problems. Coves offensive is explosive some what like Budda Hays. Cove can strike quick and often. But for Cove to win this game there defense will have to play the best ot has played all season. Lufkin has one of the best WR corps in the NATION. If Claybon can get the ball to the WR's like he didi against SG then Lufkin will have success and will beat Cove. SG had 2 D1A players in there secondary and they felt the burn of they Pack now we will see if Cove is up to the challenge. One thing is for sure I will be there rooting on my Boys in Purple win or loose either team congrats on a great season.

I will leave it at this my prediction

Lufkin 28

Yes, you have a good football program. I saw you guys play against Heights and S Garland. Your not that good. Another highly over rated football team. Just like Abilene. GO DAWGS GO

[pack98]

dude you are sorry trooper lets break this down.

yall beat waco in 3ot. and won cool that is fine they did not make it to the playoffs.

we beat your 3rd place team that beat wacon in regular 4 qrts. again fine.

now none of that means nothing. football is played on that day and anything can happen you may have seen the panther twice play. but many other have seen them play for years and you figure all the success we have had over the years and this year. you act like lufkin is nothing. we have something to be proud of in Lufkin. Cove does to this is there first time at this stage so do us a favor. bring some good football thesis and subjects not how you think Lufkin sucks so much and how we think we are all of that.

You barely beat a sorry *** Waco team(2-8) in 3 OT's. Wake up you pump Cove up as if they have won a State Championship before. So when ever the Dawgs geta ring and you get a life holla abck at me. Till then Shut your mouth and watch big brother piss on your fridaynight.

Plus HH had twice as many yards as Cove and had 19 firstdowns to your 9. looks like Cove was dominated but got some lucky turnovers. Im ready for fridaynight Cause when you see Dez Bryant jump over your DB for that first TD you will known that you just ran into a Giant.

I sincerely doubt that - you drove to SFA and sat in the pouring rain - yeah right - let's hear your take on the game Mighty Mouth. Gimmee a break - you didn't drive over here to the game unless you're a coach - and if you are you need to learn how to not disrespect quality programs like Abilene, Lufkin and HHeights so much. You're a fraud - admit it.

Hes not a fraud he is just a special person with special problems. But hey this is Cove's first time here so there are excited. But we are used to it so theres no need to bragg. Honestly is he is happy with being 13-0 then let him. Im eyeing that 16-0 state ring.

And we are still not impressed with your Dumb @$$. It just gets worse but keep it up while the rest of the state gets a good laugh out of your stupid comments. They are not a reflection of true Cove fans and football fans in general. You must be one miserable dude. FNG!!!:eek:

[pack98]

you are right you dont have to me impressed with the panthers no one hsto be but you have to do on thing just like we do with cove and other programs in the state and that is

GIVE SOME RESPECT.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have to respect the panthers and what coach outlaw has done since he has arrived here just like your coach got to cove yall did not make the playoffs for 37 years tell 1998 and you got there and after that yall have had a good program.

So show some respect to the Lufkin program just like we respect the cove program. this game is between to great teams.

lets talk about matchups. trooper82nd ok???

how do you see your WR matching up to our DB"s L.hewitt, j.jackson. i am sure that hewitt will be on yall best WR unless they play like they did this week with the umbralla coverage and let hewitt rome free to make plays and safety and have man underneath coverage that was a good call for the pack this weeks.

[HeeeyyyyDawgsss]

Lufkin fans giving more respect to heights after the first round scare:eek:
its going to be a great game friday both sides will come fully prepared and it will be going into the late rounds ;)

[CCDawgs05]

we got 2 6'3" WRs for Hewitt to have fun with....hes a amazing DB.....how many INTs does he have????.....well talking to both teams, i think its gonna be up to the defenses to stop the offense.....whoever's D plays the best, wins.......cove can put some points on the board quick...just ask Garland....and our d will hit some folks in the mouth....our special teams game is really good.......the game wil come down to mistakes......so how big and solid is the Lufkin o-line?????

[pack98]

l. hewitt has 8 INT's on the year and he is amazing and plays special teams lots of teams so far kick away in punt returns and on kickoffs they kick it short because we got him back there along with E.j. shankle who can flat out fly and may be the fastest player on both sides he is a 4.3 guy you can go to rivals 100 and check him out he is amazing.

we have tall WR that can run and all state WR in DEz bryant. dont know the size of our D line we are undersize but can all run and make some plays if you want info about the pack go to

www.lufkinpanthersports.com it will have everything you need to know.

[pack98]

lat year hewitt had 11 ints onthe year and made a pick on SLC just a week after tearing up his ACL he is a amaing player.

GO PANTHERS

[PurpleNation]

I pretty sure Cove wont have a WR like we saw in SG in Phillip Payne the man was a beast and was comminted to Texas. We held him to 3 catches.

[pack98]

hey bro i would agree we held him to 3 catched but he did have 111 yards. but we did shut eveyone else down but i would admit that payne got his but he is one of the best WR in the state. the amazing thing about that game was that we held S.G to 0 yards Rushing that is amazing to hold a team to 0 yards rushing in the playoffs and in the 3rd round. the Lufkin d played a heck of a game and if they play like that against COve then i would be so dang happy only thing they got to do is cut back making mistakes like giving a late hit on a 3rd down that lead to S.G only TD take away that late hit it is 4th down and they dont score that whole game except maybe a Fg.

GO PANTHERA

[CCDawgs05]

na we dont have WRs like Payne.....but what makes them dangerous is running routes and the way we run our playactions.....and we also have some of our DBs play Wrs and they are good also....

[pack98]

another thing that lufkin has to do better is play the playaction pass. the hays QB was very good at the play action pass and got some yardage against us. we shut down there main RB and there TE and him got most of there yardage. our ends must stay at home and play sound football and we will be fine. cant wait for friday night i have to hurry up and get home from work. i am in sandiego so the game comes on out here at 5:30 got to leave the ship early and get ready for this game.

[PurpleNation]

Im just ready for some football.

[supercentex]

Waco was not a weak team...even tho they didn't make the playoffs.....Cove and Waco is a huge rivalry game......There was not one team in district that blew out Waco........not even Consolidated........even the Waco-Harker Heights game went down to the very end.

If you want to compare scores.....how much did Lufkin beat Klein Forest by? Cove played KF later on in the season and drilled them 62-12

[EasTex9]

Finally, some real talk about football.:)

Coming into this year very little was known at how well the offense would gel. After losing J. Lane (TAMU), a 2-year QB, and a Sr. OL. Evryone in Lufkin was waiting to see where we'd go. Yes, we did play a weak schedule (wasn't planned that way), but it did work to our benefit in that it gave time for the O to come togehter. I guess they did since Jeremy Claybon broke Reggie McNeal's single season passing record by 3 this past week. I am not saying Claybon is a Reggie McNeal, but it shows they know how to score. The offense if getting better each week. The O is probably man-for-man faster than the D, but may be debatable? 2 very good RB's in Kibble and Turner with different styles of running. 4 very good WR's that can break it long any time. The game with HH was not a very good showing of LP other than they did not quit and surged strongly when they had to. Hays took away the pass, so LP opened up the run...SG was strong against the run so LP went to the air. 2nd half just trying to run time off the clock, along with a huge number of penalties, which is kind of curious that LP wasn't committing these in the 1st half??

The "D" has been strong enough to allow the O to mature. The "D" is extremely fast, but sometimes prone to the big play, which will have to improve this week. Outlaw has been playing a lot of underclassman the past few weeks. The Int almost returned against SG was a Soph.

All-in-all it should be a great game and fun to watch...:cool:

[EasTex9]

The district was down this year, but keep in mind we played a few mid-week games due to the Hurricane...how did the cane effect your playing schedule? We only had 4-days between games at times.

Nobody should be comparing scores, because they mean absolutely nothing. in 2002 we beat Katy pretty handily here in LP, they went on to win state that year handing SLC it's only loss since entering 5A. Last year Tyler Lee got beat badly by Trinity only to come back and beat them in the playoffs. Heck just look at Converse Judson this year....looked at first like they were gone early, but they are still playing.....:eek:

[pack0808]

Waco was not a weak team...even tho they didn't make the playoffs.....Cove and Waco is a huge rivalry game......There was not one team in district that blew out Waco........not even Consolidated........even the Waco-Harker Heights game went down to the very end.

If you want to compare scores.....how much did Lufkin beat Klein Forest by? Cove played KF later on in the season and drilled them 62-12


Considering Lufkin put their 2nd string offense and defense in the 3rd quarter vs KF go ahead and compare scores. KF 2nd score to give them 14 was on a turnover by our 2nd string qb early in the 4th. Lufkin still won 37-14 when they showed complete mercy. That is Outlaw!! Hey, do you want to compare records, or playoff records in the last 5 years or so? That is what i thought because that would be severely embarrassing to both Cove and their fans. Those teams are always the ones that say that is just history and it does not count. Didn't Cedar Park embarrass Cove just last year? The same team Lufkin beat 24-7 in the regional finals?? Lufkin has 12 starters back from that same team.

[pack0808]

Charles Tillman for the Chicago Bears for one.


Lufkin has 4 current NFL players and had 6 NFL players just 2 years ago. Reggie will make 5 very soon. Lufkin has produced the most div1a players in the last 10 years then any other program in the nation. Do not come to us with the talent stuff you have to do better then that. ;)

No one came to you about the talent stuff. The question was asked who is in the NFL from COVE and I answered. I gave one name of the current 3 or 4 that are playing. I personally could care less what Lufkin has done or is doing or will do...just answering a question so calm yourself.:eek:

Whos in big D-1 schools right now from lufkin, besides Mc Neil and Joworski Lane


Well they have 11 div1a signees in just the last 2 years but several are not playing for various reasons. Reggie, Javorskie, Alton Dixon, and Kevin Bryan are all at a&m currently. Alton a db plays as a true freshmen on nickel situations and made a strip vs UT last week. Bryan is a offensive lineman but was a te in hs for the pack. Parks is a qb at Baylor and has started several games. J Sheppard starts at corner for Rice, Mckinner Dixon ( one of the top dl's in the nation last year) starts as a true freshmen at Texas Tech. Rashad Hunt dl is also at Tech but redshirted as a true freshmen. Gardner and Hadnot play at Lousiana Lafayette, Chris Pilot defensive end, starts at Houston. Tyson Kirksey stud lb from the 2003 signed with Wash st but had to leave because of grades. Aaron Darks stud lb from 2003 signed with Kansas St but was kicked out because of discipline problems. That is all i can think of right now but i know i am forgetting a few? Lufkin has 4 current NFL players and 3 start. They had 6 just a few years ago but 2 are gone from the league now. Lufkin should have another 5 to 7 div1a senior recruits off this team.The only one that has given a true commitment as of right now is Shankle. Supposedly a&m??

well Cove put the 2nd string and alot of JV boys into the game in the second half, and the JV boys were moving the ball on Klein Forest....

but none of that has any bearing on friday night at all, unlike mr. trooper fan of 11 years as he said, he only knows Cove as a winning team, I have been a fan since 1976, my freshman year at Cove, I know the lows of year after year of losing. During those years I still followed the rest of the state and Lufkin is a school that was always somewhere near the top of the heap, year in, year out. I have watched this program grow at Cove, and this year's team is a product of that program and the best one Cove has fielded to date.
I really don't know which team will win this friday, I'm pulling for the Dawgs. This game will be the measuring stick for Jack Welch's program and could indeed be the coming out party for Cove. It will be the biggest crowd they have ever played in front of. I was at the Cedar Park/Lufkin game last year and saw how the Purple Nation travels, "ya'll bring it well". Nothing but respect for Lufkin, you have the history, the championships, and 13-0 record and you've earned that respect. I still think Cove can take it to ya, we'll see friday night.

Cove 34
Lufkin 24

I feel that Cove's discipline will win out, and make fewer mistakes

but none of that has any bearing on friday night at all, unlike mr. trooper fan of 11 years as he said, he only knows Cove as a winning team, I have been a fan since 1976, my freshman year at Cove, I know the lows of year after year of losing. During those years I still followed the rest of the state and Lufkin is a school that was always somewhere near the top of the heap, year in, year out. I have watched this program grow at Cove, and this year's team is a product of that program and the best one Cove has fielded to date.
I really don't know which team will win this friday, I'm pulling for the Dawgs. This game will be the measuring stick for Jack Welch's program and could indeed be the coming out party for Cove. It will be the biggest crowd they have ever played in front of. I was at the Cedar Park/Lufkin game last year and saw how the Purple Nation travels, "ya'll bring it well". Nothing but respect for Lufkin, you have the history, the championships, and 13-0 record and you've earned that respect. I still think Cove can take it to ya, we'll see friday night.

Cove 34
Lufkin 24

I feel that Cove's discipline will win out, and make fewer mistakes

classy post...
That's how you do it.

A real fan that knows his football. It is refreshing to see people like yourself with some common sense. I know T82's STUPID messages are not a reflection of Cove's great team and some of the respectable Cove fans.

Very good and classy post. You might be correct but your post is very refreshing and i do not care if you picked Cove to win by 40.

call it like I see it guys......

The Panther defense will not give up 34 points to Cove. Both teams have the speed to burn so that will be a standoff there. I think the Lufkin defense is better and will be the difference.

Lufkin - 27

Cpperas Cove - 21

Now, if Lufkin goes out and gets 106 penalty yards again, Cove will have the advantage.

Lufkin is not an undisiplined team like a Klein Forest, please don't put us in that catagory.

not putting you in a catagory, or saying LP is undisciplined at all, for all I know Lukinf is very disciplined

What I'm saying is that Cove has a very disciplined defense, that "stays home" and does'nt make many mistakes and our offense is VERY good at turning opponet's mistakes into 7 very quickly

believe me, I know what catagory Lukin is in, and I see Cove in the same
I still say 34-24 Cove, with Cove having a special teams score somewhere in there

We dealt with the Klein Forest catagory as we should have, and not bragging, but the 62 spot put up on them was not running it up, it could have been much worst, 2nd team and JV played nearly all of second half

[yee freakin haw]

Go freakin Cove. This is coming from an AMC fan that will definetely be at the game on friday...and making fun of lufkin...cuz me no like lufkin. Cove by 14.

GO PANTHERS LETS GET THEM DAWGS.

GO PANTHERS

i wounder what S. Hamiliton is doing he was at the packers, plus what is J. sheppeard doing and D. manns all played in the league dont know what they are doing now.

[covefan2008]

Lufkin So cove gets the crappy seats yay!!!

[ruffshod]

Cove had a great season, but Lufkin will end it this week.

[c-town_scout]

Lufkin So cove gets the crappy seats yay!!!

hey we'll fill them crappy seats up!!

[Ladypack34]

Lufkin So cove gets the crappy seats yay!!!


Ahh...the seats aren't that bad...plus at a game like this it wont matter...neither team's fans will be in their seats anyways...I know I never sit during the playoffs

well (no offense) to the old people but they only stand up when we score,when the teams comes out and when we win!...but the student section NEVER sits down!!...do u have a student section? Are SS is extremely loud!

no we all just sit together...but..our old folks stand and stuff with us...so its all good...no one really gets mad about ppl standing...its fun bein on the Lufkin side...and plus as small a town as Lufkin is...you probably know everyone around you...

[joe_LP]

I've watched Lufkin play all year and have come to one conclusion.They never had to play hard until the playoffs.The defense especially never was challanged to play their best.It took 2 playoff games for the defense to play with all their effort and begin to know what it takes to play their best.Back when Lufkin played both Tyler teams twice along with Longview, Katy,Aldine Eisenhower,and Marshall in the same year,they were prepared for the playoffs and also banged up. This year they never had to play but one or two quarters.The SG game looks like they may be beginning to gell.It should be a great game against Cove.:)

[pack98]

I like that JOE LP

the pack D has not played a full game all year long for the most part they have cruised past everyone and not played. but in the playoffs they have played 3 good teams so far and this week is a Great Team. if the Lufkin D can come out and play like they did against S.G and shut down the run and make them pass i like the panthers chances better we have to make them tryo to depend on the passing game and shut down the running game. the pack D needs to show up like they did against S.G but play better and we will be fine cut back on the flags and even better.

LETS GO PACK 3 DAYS OF PRACTICE and Film and 1 day for the bus drive and just imagine your self on that bus ride making a big play and catching and tackling. this is not a road trip for us this is a BUSINESS TRIP. we are there to play Football win and come home. and get ready for rd 5 of the playoffs.

GO PANTHERS

[PackAttack2005]

As was said earlier, Lufkin does not have a student section, we all just sit together with our families or friends, Lufkin doesn't have pep rallies or big send offs for the team. We are all business and the fans know their football and how to support the Pack. We are one big community together and we know how to win big games. If I can get away with it, I never sit during a playoff game. You people from Cove will be surprised at how many Lufkin folks will make that 3 hour drive on a Friday night to Waco. We are use to traveling 2 hours to play district games on Fridays all the time, what's another hour going to hurt. The Lufkin fans can travel with no problem. We will be there Friday. The Panthers are 63-6 the past five years and the Pack fans outnumbering the home team on away game has been a big part in that winning combination.

Lufkin - 27
Copperas Cove - 21

Go Pack!!!

[singularity]

Definitly Lufkin by a TD...taken to the last seconds.

[PantherRock1988]

Yep - Lufkin by 7. Lufkin ISD decided to release students from school at 1pm on Friday to allow everyone a good, safe chance to make it to Waco for the game. Won't be no rush since we're getting out early. More will be there because of the early release.

I really think it will be Lufkin by a close mark, but South Lake Carroll will not be a game I'd want to see. I think SLC will blast us good! Afraid to see it or speculate.

Most of the Dawg fans are well aware of the "Purple Nation" that follows the team. I for one think that is great that there is so much support. Over the last few years the Dawg traveling fan base has grown to an impressive number, and hope it continues. I don't know if we will out number the "Purple Nation" but I do expect that this be the Dawgs largest crowd ever.
Good Luck
