Greetings, Lion fans, we’re down to the nitty-gritty of the season. With two games left in the regular season, on one hand, I wonder, “Where has the time gone?”, while on the other, two games to get to the playoffs seem like an eternity. This week, it’s a trip out west to Odessa, and the…
Greetings, Lion fans….normally, you would be seeing 5 Minor Thoughts, or the Pre Snap Read, but we received a question about the regional rankings, what they are, and how they affect playoff seeding. We here at The Wire welcome any questions our readers might have, and we’re more than happy to answer. To begin, Division…
A LOT TO GET TO, and sorry for the delay. Volleyball: A huge congrats is in order for Coach Craig Case and his netters as they are currently 23-5 overall, second in the Lone Star conference, ranked 21st in the nation, and 2nd in the first round of regional rankings for the NCAA tournament. If…
This was a total team win. Offense looked better, not explosive, but they were moving the ball much better than they had been in prior games. Kane Wilson did not need to throw for 400 yards, his 131 yards from 12/15 passing and 1 passing TD was more than enough. Ovie Urevbu had 118 yards…
Will Expand on this tomorrow in the 5 Morning after thoughts, but just for now…. The Running game is getting stronger and we will need them down the stretch. Special Teams were vital to this win. Congrats to Kristov Martinez, who is now the leading scorer in LSC history. The defense bent but never broke.…

“Offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships.” Paul W. “Bear” Bryant Greetings, Lion fans. Well, here we are again, on the verge of another extremely important Lone Star Conference matchup with the Buffs of West Texas A&M. The Blue Gang showed up huge last week in the 55-7 over Western New Mexico, returning two interceptions…
“Winning isn’t the only thing, but making the effort to win is.” Vince Lombardi And that’s what it’s about right now, Lion Fans. Three games. West Texas A&M, UT-Permian Basin, and Angelo State. Three wins, and your Lions are playoff bound once more. It’s not about a Lone Star Conference title. Conference titles are nice…
A lot of sports to get to so let’s get to it. Volleyball- Craig Case’s Volleyball squad continues to push their season to the limit as his squad has now notched a 20-5 overall record and a 12-3 LSC record notching them a number 21 ranking nationally and second in the Lone Star Conference. The…
Well Lions here we are again. Not much needs to be said as we know what the task ahead of us is. First thought…well maybe we had our hope’s up a little high. Maybe we expected too much too early. Maybe we didn’t think the dreaded championship hangover would get to us. Either way this…
Let’s get right to it. We needed a win like this. A dominating win that was really never in question and one that went a lot better than the last time we trekked to Silver City. That being said, a blowout win where you really did not play all that well, but you made some…
The Sun is back out in North Texas, so enjoy the rest of the day and this win. Five Morning After Thoughts Tomorrow Morning.
Bring us home, Lucky Lions, bring us home.
Lions have blown this one wide open due to superior defense and special teams play. Reggie Kincaid took a kickoff and blew past everyone to get his third TD return off a kickoff. Lions will kick to start the second half.

Greetings, Lions fans, after the frustrations of last week, it’s time to turn our attention to the Mustangs of Western New Mexico. Let’s get to it. OVERVIEW-To say the Mustangs are young is an understatement. Starting only one senior, Western has struggled on offense to date, having failed to score a rushing touchdown, and have…
LOOKING BACK-Lion fans, I must apologize. As uncannily accurate as I was during the playoff run last season, I’ve been that far off this time around, especially last week. I will say this once, and then I’m done with it. It’s hard not to say that the officials cost a team a game, but in…
Dear Lion Staff and Players, It is a tough time for everyone right now. It’s understandable. You just got beat by four scores at home. There’s reason to have hope, and I’ll tell you why ” A wounded Lion is still fiercer than a strong wolf.” Matshona Dhilwayo, Author First of all, I refuse to…
We have received word that a true East Texas State Football legend, Stumblin’ Sam McCord, has passed away. McCord was one of the greatest quarterbacks in Lion football history and was in a long line of fantastic Quarterbacks during “the Golden Fifties.” McCord played quarterback for East Texas State University for three years after transferring…
