THE SILSBEE BEE FOOTBALL CONTEST
Key to contest win is in number picks The Silsbee Bee will again hold its football contest this season. The winner will receive a $20.00 prize. They will get their picture in the paper and have bragging rights for at least six days. The contest is very simple and yet it is very challenging. It brings into question ones knowledge of football and places in question whether loyalty is more important than victory. Each week the paper will post 15 games in the paper. Contestants must choose a winner in each of the 15 games. The contestant must then assign a point value to each game using numbers between 1 and 15

as the point value. They can only use each number once. The key element in the contest is to assign the 15 value to the game they feel most confident about and the one value to the game they have the most questions about. When the scores are tabulated the points for he games the contestant gets right are tabulated and the points for the games missed are subtracted. The idea is to get the high number games right and if you miss to make sure you do it on the low number games. Every effort will be made to pick the games form high school games being played in this area.

Lumberton High School Freshman Football
RAIDERS Duvall, according to Credeur, has played quarterback all the way up through the Lumberton football system and had played defensive back until this past season. “With the defensive scheme we played last year, he fit perfectly at the defensive end position,” said Credeur. “If (Hughes) can handle it, he’ll play some quarterback.” Credeur said the main reason he would play a sophomore at QB is to maintain the defensive prowess that Duvall offers on the defensive side of the ball. “We’re limited in the number of guys we have back on defense, so if we move Kendall to QB, then we’re stealing from our defense. If we can keep from doing that, it helps us out.” The Raiders lost their key tight end when Cody Evans graduated last year, which means the search is on for a replacement. Ty Choate and Caleb Schexneider will vie for the job. Ryan Asher, a sophomore, and
From Page 24 senior Crew Marlow will work at fullback, making the way for Hanna and Beard at tailback. Trace Freeman played some at wide receiver last year and will return at that position in 2008. He will be joined by Taylor Granado, who struggled with a staph infection inside a bone but is back for this season, along with Tyler Wilson and Kyler Keith. On defense, the Raiders lost their entire linebackers crew and all of its secondary group, leaving coaches searching for new stars beyond the defensive line. Hanna will play defensive end and Murrill and Kyle Gillam will each stand in at noseguard. Anthony Beard is a big runner on the defense and will play middle linebacker. Several players are vying for the outside linebacker spots, including Dylan Duhon, Marlow and sophomore Justin Potter. Kevin Brackin played special teams last season and will come on as a cornerback in 2008,
joined by Freeman. The Raiders will also move Granado to one of the corner positions. At safety, Jesse Sparks is looking solid with Trent Latino and Kyler Keith also working for a starting spot. “We just don’t have the numbers not to play some guys both ways, but we’ll avoid doing that as much as possible,” said Credeur. “Last year we had 30 seniors and this year we have 24. So there’s not a big dropoff as far as numbers of seniors goes. It’s just that our depth is not as good.”
