Rattlers End Bears Season

You've heard coaches use the cliche that "the game is won in the trenches."  That could've been used Friday as the Navasota Rattlers controlled the line of scrimmage and ended the LCM Bears season with a 38-7 loss in Huffman in the 4A DI Bidistrict round. The Bears (4-7) could only muster 151 yards of offense while the Rattlers put up 461 yards with 280 of that coming from the ground game. Navasota jumped out to a 17-0 lead before the Bears posted their only score.  Quarterback Adam Pope called his own number from the two yard line after setting it up with a 35 yard run to make it a … [Read more...] about Rattlers End Bears Season

Bears Looking For First Win Since ’97

KOGT has uncovered the secret of LCM quarterback Adam Pope having the "hot hand" lately.  Last week on a chilly Friday, Pope was using a Chick-Fil-A bag to keep his hands warm.  He picked a part the Lumberton defense with an 18-0 win. LCM Trainer Sherry Hoffpauir said the bag came in handy after Chick-Fil-A left the bag and has yet to pick it up.  The Bears used the bag to keep the footballs warm and the homecoming king followed suit.  There's also the unconfirmed rumor that he really went to the bag hoping to find a chicken sandwich and then realized how warm it was inside the … [Read more...] about Bears Looking For First Win Since ’97

Bad Dog

An Orange police officer used his Taser shock gun Wednesday afternoon to try to subdue a loose dog that was charging at people.
