lufkin qb breaks his arm!!!

[lufkin guy]

lufkin beats cove, but looses qb jeremy claybon.

[Red Raiders]

lufkin beats cove, but looses qb jeremy claybon.

What will happen if they play Southlake Carroll, I guess it is ok anyway, they just need alot of defense for that game.

[lufkin guy]

A great junior yr for J Claybon. Broke Reggie McNiels single season TD school record.

[rancher52]

Is this for sure... they already have said it was broken... what a shame.

The Cove offense is not a bunch of slackers thats for sure. They appeared to be well balanced. In the second half, they had their way with the LP D. SLC must be licking their chops right now. ;)

[lufkin guy]

lufkin's got a solid ground game with Kibble and Turner. The receivers will make it somewhat comfortable for b/u qb Ralph Thomas. However, b4 tonight, Thomas hadn't seen 5 snaps or so....next wk will be a nail biter.

[lonny23]

Is this for sure... they already have said it was broken... what a shame.
Probably. The broadcast kept coming in and out, but they said he wasn't coming back into the game.

[rancher52]

During the game the announcers said on more than one occasion that Hewitt was not 100%.... what is the problem? They will definitely need him if facing SLC passing game.

[lufkin guy]

outlaw is quick to credit another team, he said we stopped cove in their tracks the whole first half, then we sat on our butts and let them push us around. outlaw says cove didn't adjust much at the half, our D just took a break. We can't let that happen next wk. it's a 4 quarter game.

[PantherStang84]

It's for sure. They just said so on the radio.

[lufkin guy]

the news of the broken arm came from a sideline interview right after the game.

[lufkin guy]

next wk is TS or SFA

[Aggie]

A great junior yr for J Claybon. Broke Reggie McNiels single season TD school record.
Who is this Reggie McNiel you speak of?

[lufkin guy]

lufkin stats

525 total O
28 1st downs

[lufkin guy]

sorry, is it McNeal??

[LoneStarProud]

What a shame. I hate to see an injury like that so deep in the playoffs. Congrats to the Pack on the victory. Sure hope to see you next week.
Cove...heads held high..great season.

[lufkin guy]

I don't know how well Lufkin has played Plano in the past, but I know the two times SLC put Lufkin out in the semi's, the margin was less than 10 pts.

[rancher52]

Can anyone answer my earlier post about what is wrong with Hewitt? That might be just as important as losing the QB.

[lufkin guy]

I don't know what's wrong w/ hewitt. It's a speed issue.

[lufkin guy]

lufkin = region 2 champs 4 of 5 last yrs.

[lonny23]

I don't know what's wrong w/ hewitt. It's a speed issue.
You mean he was at the SLC game with Irvin?:p

[PawPower]

I don't know how well Lufkin has played Plano in the past, but I know the two times SLC put Lufkin out in the semi's, the margin was less than 10 pts.

Last time Lufkin and Plano played was about 5 years ago in Waco. Lufkin won by less than 7 if I'm not mistaken. Your quarterback was a future Aggie!

[rich_pack]

I noticed Hewitt limping last week against South Garland as well, I kinda wonder if its that acl he tore last season coming back

[Sakatha]

There's a good reason Hewitt isn't receiving the type of attn from the big time D1 schools that he probably should..

Some say it's the ACL.. Some say it's grades.. I don't think which, but where there's smoke, there's usually fire.

I think that kind of injury it takes 2 full years to come back from ala Willis McGahee.

[dragonfootballfan]

I think that kind of injury it takes 2 full years to come back from ala Willis McGahee.
it was not near as serious as willis mcgahee. Hewitt was able to come back and play just a few weeks after the injury against Carroll. If you saw the play that mcgahee blew ut his knee on, you would know that coming back in a couple of weeks was just not possible

[rich_pack]

Hey dragonfootball, Where will they sell tickets to the game next week if it is at Texas Satdium? I was wondering if you can get them ahead of time, or just pay a little more at the gate

[dragonfootballfan]

they usually sell them at the schools and at the gate at the stadium. I think there is a 1 dollar discount on adult tickets if they are purchased early. I am not sure about student ticket presales, but all tickets at the gate are 10 dollars.

Didnt say it was as serious. I think McGahee tore his ACL and MCL. But sometimes it takes more than a year to be back to 100% from a serious a knee injury.

[Primetime536]

yeah, hes done, i was at the game, and im 100% sure he broke it. whata shame

[wide-e-wide]

Anyone else that was at the game see #90 for Cove get absolutely destroyed on that block...

I have watched a lot of football this season... and that was by far the biggest hit I have seen at any level...NCAA and NFL included.

Homeboy got JACKED UP! I mean feet up in the air...helmet flying 10 yards one way...and mouth piece flying the other way...
It was a HUGE hit.

Haha, if you read wides post and thought he was exagerating, Pahhh, he isnt, he got straight up BANGED. Other then this, LPs #12(higgins or something like that) and Lenard Hewitt are the best HS players i have ever seen. AMAZING

[lufkin guy]

are you talking about ralph thomas hitting ? thomas (cove)?

[wide-e-wide]

If I'm not mistaken...he got smashed again in the 4th quarter when Lufkin was called for clipping. They had to help him off the field.
Dude must have had a bullseye on him or something.
He is gonna feel like a bus ran over him in the morning.

[pack98]

go to orangebloods.com it is a texas website they are talking about L. hewitt and how texas now wants him.

GO PANTHERS

it was round 2 of 2001 and we won 24-19...won by comeback...down 19-17...i think thats how it happened

That's a serious misstatement if it's what he said. Cove definitely made adjustments, most notably in their playcalling. The 1st half was filled with plays that took forever to develop, playing right into Lufkin's speed on defense. In the 2nd half, however, Cove went to more quick hitting and misdirection plays that either took the speed element out of the equation or had the Lufkin D pursuing the wrong player as the one with the ball ran the opposite direction.

[pack4life]

Number 90 got jacked twice.

Once by Shankle where his earpiece flew out of his helment and his helment flew off.

The other by Ralph, this time his mouthpiece went flying.

That dude will be having nightmares for awhile..

[WildcatFan]

lufkin beats cove, but looses qb jeremy claybon.

Man that's a bummer from what I hear he is a good kid and great ball player.

Our prayers are with him!!!!

I almost fell down the bleachers at Floyd Casey when the Ralph hit happened. That hit needs to have a nickname in panther nation.

The report is that Claybon has a compound factures in his non throwing arm.Surgry will be next week. We will be praying for the young man that all will be ok, and he will be ready for next year/:(

Who is the back-up. Senior or Junior. What are his stats?

[Favpack]

I saw no major problems with Leonard - but yes, he did not look 100% - I think it's probably just 14 weeks of football - not sure at this point - sorry.

I got a little misty-eyed reading about Jeremy this morning - we could only speculate from the stands and didn't know for sure - but were hoping he'd be ok. What a great kid and terrific year for Jeremy - single season TD record holder for Lufkin! He will be very special next year.

It was a HUGE hit.

u must have missed the other huge hit that ralph layed on #90 when E.J Shankle was looking like reggie bush on that reverse e.j almost got hit in the backfield came back running to the other side of the field that's when he sen #90 and he pointed at him ralph creeped up on him and leveled him and he lost his ear pads

[PantherStang84]

Is this a premature gesture?

It's possible. Look Thomas was a WR so he knows the receiver routes. The big question mark will be how he reads the defenses. If he reads well, then he will make smart decisions with the ball.

It took Claybon almost the whole year to develop his defense reading skills. Thomas will have to be a quick study thats for sure.

[Favpack]

Pack,

Absolutely Boto - particularly if Plano wins today:eek:

woo.....the first one on him was crazy.....i couldntreally tell from the sideline but i saw his feet in the air and he bounced right back up and it took him forever to find his earpiece......well the next play we had a huge stop.....but claybon's arm was broke pretty bad.....i was in on that play and its going in a direction its not supposed to be.....prayers to him.....then i want to give it up to yalls back up QB.....yall didnt lose a heartbeat when he came in.....ya made the bis plays and were just plain ole faster than us.....lufkin.....please take it all the way....i dont want SLC winning it all again......

These are actual ticket prices for TS. I called Jerry today and he said the prices are higher because of recent wage increases for the ushers, janitors, food servers, and attendants that work there. They're now making $3.47/hour after the raise.

[PantherStang84]

Are the ticket prices accurate for TS?

That could be the only thing you did get right. LOL :D

Did anyone hear anything about Dez Bryant's dad last night? I was walkin around after the game and heard he almost died and was being rushed to the hospital. Can anyone back this up or was it just something I heard wrong?

No word from my end - his dad has been touch and go for a couple of weeks - keep the family in your prayers. Not sure what the illness is - but he's been in the hospital for a while - 2+ weeks I believe.

Go right ahead. I like that kind of attitude. It has a tendency to sneak up and bite you when you least expect it.

[pack0808]

Devastating loss!! That is the one guy i always said Lufkin could not lose. Last year it would have been ok because Lufkin had a very good backup that was just as good or better as the starter. Not only is Ralph extremely inexperienced at qb but it takes a major wr away. Thad Gordon is going to have to step it up like he did last night. It is the SLC curse!! Last year one of the best hs cb's in the nation Hewitt(Highly recruited Sakatha) tore his ACL completely and this year we lose our record setting stud qb. OH Sakatha you need to start studying up before you post. After the Oulaw post a few weeks ago and this Hewitt post i am starting to wonder about you? ;) Hewitt is not 100 percent no doubt. He is a little gimpy. Hewitt is usually up in your grill like a big time corner should be but he was giving big cushions last night. That tells me he is not close to 100 percent. Either way huge loss and it looks like the SLC curse will continue. Lufkin needed everybody to be 100 percent to have a shot to beat SLC. It would have been possible but now i am extremely worried. OH, all i can say about J Turner is #12 is i told you so. I have told yall about him all year. He is finally at 100 percent and he is a stud. The offensive line was the MVP last night though. They blew cove off the ball most of the night.

[lufkin_82]

College, he is only a jr. he still has another year to go.
hewitt is a senior this year

[pack0808]

hewitt is a senior this year



and a major div1a recruit and listed as one of the defensive backs in the nation. He had a complete ACL tear and he is not 100 percent yet. He still has had an all state type year.

[FootballJunkie]

Good job to the Lufkin team!!! I was impressed!! One of the best high school games I have seen!!! Again good job Lufkin and to the DAWGS you will be back again!!


PS. Did anyone see me with the VaTech hat on???:D

[PantherStang84]

That is the one guy i always said Lufkin could not lose.

You know Pack08 I said something similar last night and people jumped all over my case. I totally agree with you. Don't get me wrong Ralph is a great athlete. Hell. I have been watching the kid since he was 5 years old for crying out loud. However, Jeremy had developed so much over the course of the past month in terms of his defense reading skills. To have something like this happen at this point of the season is just devastating.

Now, if it happened a couple of weeks ago, then things might not be so bad.

However, Ralph has the skills to step up. If Jeremy can do some sort of Vulcan mind meld into Ralph to transfer his field general skills, then things may be ok.

Ralph has the necessary athleticism and throwing ability.

[lpfanforever]

jeremy claybon broke his right arm in two places.

on hewitt, my daughter has him in one of her classes at school and said that he was having pain in his lower stomach where he got hit last week by someone from SG. if thats true i don't know, that is just what she was told.



its sad to know that we not only lost jeremy but hewitt isn't 100%

o well we just have to step it up.

It is just a huge loss that is the fact stang i do not know why somebody would give you a hard time. Claybon is turning into a major star and shattered Reggie's qb td record. This would be like Lufkin losing Reggie in 2001 before the state semis. Huge Loss no matter who you look at it. I am not saying Lufkin cannot get it done but i sure do not feel as good. You would have to be an ignorant football fan not to realize this hurt's.
