Shawn Nixon is in line for a special year. He had a 70 yard td run and a 35 yard td run against the twos and a spectacular 50 yard catch and run from one sideline to the other against the ones. I don't know if he is the best RB in the state but I would think that he is in the very elite group. He did not play a ton but he does not really need to. I think he will catch a lot of passes this year too.

The QB will be Dominic Delira. He can really throw the ball and throws a beautiful deep ball. He is an exceptional scrambler as well. He is not as accurate yet as some of the past LT QB's but he can make every pass. He is definitely a threat to throw it down the field. The real question on him will be when live action starts. The junior to be has not played at the varsity level yet.

The oline looked better. Some of the kids that were forced into action last year are a more cohesive unit now. They are not physically dominant, but there are some pieces to work with. If Ty Anderson comes back from his injuries, this unit will bet bigger as well as better. If they can give the QB time to look over the field, the offense can be really good.

The WR's were a mixed bag last night. There were more drops than I have ever seen from LT WR's but it was a wet night. They wil need to tighten that up. The bright spot was last years soph. Sensation, Grant Foster. He took up where he left off last year with two touchdowns and a spectacular 40 yard diving reception. He is LT's next big thing at WR. The other receivers certainly look the part and made some plays, but they will need to be more consistent.

The defense will be excellent. The dine will be led by All State tackle, Zach Davies. He is 6'2" and 240 pounds of mayhem. He wrecks shop in the offensive backfield and should do it again this year. Last year's soph. DE, Feno Pearson looks bigger and stronger as well. This has the potential to be one of LT's better dlines.

The LB's are experienced and very athletic. Last years soph. starter, James Bailey, has put on some weight and I expect a breakout year from him. If you start on LT's defense as a soph, it is pretty rare.

The question mark on defense will be at CB. They lost both starters and will need two guys to step up. The safeties will be a strength led by 3 year starter Luke Hutton. Luke started two years at LB/Rover but this is his natural position. He will team withChris Roller and LT will be tough up the middle.

In summary, the LT defense may need to carry the team early in the year. They are breaking in a new QB and that is always a question. I am certainly not ready to predict a state championship for this team, but I could see them making a run. They have two stars on offense and a tough, aggressive defense. They have a chance to run the table in the regular season but have to navigate a tough region 2.

It should be a fun year. ]]> 5A Statewide Forum Ltcav83 http://forums.5atexasfootball.com/showthread.php?76123-LT-Spring-Game http://forums.5atexasfootball.com/showthread.php?76122-Colleyville-Heritage-SQT&goto=newpost Sat, 25 May 2013 16:27:54 GMT Any updates greatly appreciated.

There many fans that thought this past team would be one an done in the playoff. Myself an lpnation67 told many fans to give this team sometime. They are young an lack experience, but have good poteintal to be a really good team. Some worried about where we played in the playoff. Blowers stadium in huntsville tx.
Cause we haven't had any sucess there. This young team proved alot of people wrong going three rounds in the playoffs.
Losing to plano west, an what a game it was, being down 24 points, plano score on every possession in the first half,only two were fieldgoals. I watch alot of highschool football games, there aren't many teams that would recover from being down an being dominated like we were in that game , but lufkin did , i recall coach outlaw attending a coaches convention , he said they asked him about our young men , they told him that lufkin is never out of a game, they maybe down 20 or 24 points , lufkin nevers quits playing.
Again they aren't one of the best anymore , they are trying to regain that status again, but our program has never lost this, if you play lufkin you will be in a tough game, we don't have the talent like we use too, but we still have heart, an i still beleive were not the team you want to play in the playoffs. ]]> 5A Statewide Forum LPPACK85 http://forums.5atexasfootball.com/showthread.php?76119-Is-lufkin-one-of-the-best-again http://forums.5atexasfootball.com/showthread.php?76118-Boy-Scouts-approve-plan-to-accept-openly-gay-members&goto=newpost Fri, 24 May 2013 16:00:36 GMT Save this pic.

I got a warm fuzzy feeling about next season. Lufkin defense dominated the spring game early holding the highly touted Lufkin offense scoreless for the first 46 plays. Although in the final 21 snaps Trey Cumbie tossed 3 td passes. First team offense finished the night I believe avg 3.7 per play. This defense will be pretty damn good next season it looks like. ]]> 5A Statewide Forum GameTyme http://forums.5atexasfootball.com/showthread.php?76117-Lufkin-Spring-Game http://forums.5atexasfootball.com/showthread.php?76116-Happy-Birthday-Yankee!!&goto=newpost Fri, 24 May 2013 11:11:48 GMT Have a good one.

Interesting Veterans Statistics off the Vietnam Memorial Wall There are 58,267 names now listed on that polished black wall, including those added in 2010.

The names are arranged in the order in which they were taken from us by date and within each date the names are alphabetized. It is hard to believe it is 36 years since the last casualties.


The first known casualty was Richard B. Fitzgibbon, of North Weymouth, Mass. Listed by the U.S. Department of Defense as having been killed on June 8, 1956. His name is listed on the Wall with that of his son, Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Richard B. Fitzgibbon III, who was killed on Sept. 7, 1965.

There are three sets of fathers and sons on the Wall.

39,996 on the Wall were just 22 or younger.

8,283 were just 19 years old.

The largest age group, 33,103 were 18 years old.

12 soldiers on the Wall were 17 years old.

5 soldiers on the Wall were 16 years old.

One soldier, PFC Dan Bullock was 15 years old.

997 soldiers were killed on their first day in Vietnam ..

1,448 soldiers were killed on their last day in Vietnam ..

31 sets of brothers are on the Wall.

Thirty one sets of parents lost two of their sons.

54 soldiers attended Thomas Edison High School in Philadelphia . I wonder why so many from one school.

8 Women are on the Wall. Nursing the wounded.

244 soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor during the Vietnam War; 153 of them are on the Wall.

Beallsville , Ohio with a population of 475 lost 6 of her sons.

West Virginia had the highest casualty rate per capita in the nation. There are 711 West Virginians on the Wall.

The Marines of Morenci - They led some of the scrappiest high school football and basketball teams that the little Arizona copper town of Morenci (pop. 5,058) had ever known and cheered. They enjoyed roaring beer busts. In quieter moments, they rode horses along the Coronado Trail, stalked deer in the Apache National Forest . And in the patriotic camaraderie typical of Morenci's mining families, the nine graduates of Morenci High enlisted as a group in the Marine Corps. Their service began on Independence Day, 1966. Only 3 returned home.

The Buddies of Midvale - LeRoy Tafoya, Jimmy Martinez, Tom Gonzales were all boyhood friends and lived on three consecutive streets in Midvale, Utah on Fifth, Sixth and Seventh avenues. They lived only a few yards apart. They played ball at the adjacent sandlot ball field. And they all went to Vietnam.

In a span of 16 dark days in late 1967, all three would be killed. LeRoy was killed on Wednesday, Nov. 22, the fourth anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination. Jimmy died less than 24 hours later on Thanksgiving Day. Tom was shot dead assaulting the enemy on Dec. 7, Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.

The most casualty deaths for a single day was on January 31, 1968 ~ 245 deaths.

The most casualty deaths for a single month was May 1968 - 2,415 casualties were incurred.

For most Americans who read this they will only see the numbers that the Vietnam War created. To those who survived the war, and to the families of those who did not, we see the faces, we feel the pain that these numbers created. We are, until we too pass away, haunted with these numbers, because they were our friends, fathers, husbands, wives, sons and daughters. There are no noble wars, just noble warriors.

It's been a long time since I posted on here. I literally haven't even read the board except for a few minutes about 3-4 weeks ago. I wouldn't mind posting some, but my schedule is so packed and other priorities dictate my absence.

I enjoy living in Long Beach and am glad I retired from the Air Force in 2011. These last few years have strengthened my relationship with the Lord more than ever. It's been tough, but the Holy Spirit has comforted and guided me every step along the way. I was unemployed from July 2011 until the end of March 2012, but the Lord watched our finances and we survived. My wife had surgery late in 2011, but made a full recovery. Since I started working, I've gone from a part-time job to working two jobs, and back to one job paying more than the other two. It's been tough and the hours have been crazy and still aren't what we desire. My job is about 40 miles from the house and I've needed my angels on many occasions. The hours, the drive, and a packed schedule at home have led to a fatigued lifestyle, but the scriptures are true because angels have protected me every step along the way. I can't tell you how many times they've awoken me and kept me safe. Our lives are truly in the Lord's hands!

My main reason to post today is to praise the Lord for answering my unwavering prayer since 2003. As many of you know, I was divorced and didn't get custody of my daughters even though I wanted them. The girls loved going to California with me on vacation in 2010 and really enjoyed their summers in 2011 and 2012. Last year, they asked for us to get custody of them and we went to court a few times at the end of the year. They did a social study and we didn't even have to argue against my ex-spouse in court. The judge gave us custody and the girls traveled with me to Long Beach the days after they got out of school for the holidays. They're adjusting well and enjoying life here. Praise the Lord! ]]> The Yard lonny23 http://forums.5atexasfootball.com/showthread.php?76113-Checking-in-with-you-guys! http://forums.5atexasfootball.com/showthread.php?76112-In-yesterday-s-news&goto=newpost Thu, 23 May 2013 17:14:54 GMT Jet QB Sanchez basically hands the job over to Geno Smith by going 6-11 with 3 ints and a sack.:cool: Jet QB Sanchez basically hands the job over to Geno Smith by going 6-11 with 3 ints and a sack.:cool: ]]> NFL Discussion E-Vol-ution http://forums.5atexasfootball.com/showthread.php?76112-In-yesterday-s-news http://forums.5atexasfootball.com/showthread.php?76111-This-Is-Why-I-Like-Ted-Cruz&goto=newpost Thu, 23 May 2013 13:35:04 GMT I like the new kids on the block.

At least one person was fatally shot about 7 p.m. Wednesday in Southlake Town Square by someone who fled in a white sport utility vehicle, police reported.

Police radio broadcasts indicated the person was shot multiple times. He was pronounced dead at Baylor Regional Medical Center at Grapevine, according to Kim Leach, a Southlake police spokeswoman.

Leach said she had no further information.

Workers in a Banana Republic store said they heard shots and saw that one person was wounded.

In Keller, police were monitoring reports of a white sport utility vehicle that was described as a getaway vehicle.

Lt. Brenda Slovak, a Keller police spokeswoman, said officers stopped a similar SUV but it turned out not to be the suspect vehicle.

Slovak noted that the shooting was described as a “drive by.”
