The Lumberton Raiders kept their play-off hopes alive with a 63-53 victory over the Vidor Pirates in a game that had many twists and turns. Lumberton had an early 4-2 lead in this game and Vidor scored the next 15 points to lead 17-4. Zander Lindsey and Brayden Root were doing much of the damage for Vidor.

On a night when Jimbo Fisher, head football coach at Texas A&M, was standing in the door on the east side of the Tiger Den and another semi-disguised fellow from the University of Alabama was perched near the entrance to the Tigers’ locker rooms, Dre’lon Miller, who was thought to be the reason for their visit to Silsbee, was putting on a show. The 6’1” guard started the game in his usual fashion dishing the ball to waiting teammates and doing everything he could to improve their play while making an occasional lay up and grabbing an occasional rebound.
