10-0 Lamar End 1

3-0 Lamar 747 1st

Small crowd. Still plenty of time to come out

Stats at the bottom of the post. [Hidden Content] Before kickoff, the night was already special. Coach Forrest Wiegand was honored with his Greater Houston Football Coaches Association Hall of Honor ring. La Porte’s hometown heroes carried a massive American flag onto the field, and the LPHS Choir delivered another breathtaking National Anthem. The pageantry set the stage, but the moment the ball was kicked, you could feel that tonight was different. Winning the toss, the Bulldogs deferred to the second half, trusting their defense to make an early statement. And they delivered immediately, forcing a fumble on Port Arthur Memorial’s second play from scrimmage. One play later, the offensive line opened a huge hole, allowing Sean Simon to burst 35 yards to the house. Just 30 seconds into the game, La Porte hit the board first! The energy inside Bulldog Stadium was electric, but facing the #4 team in Texas meant a hard-fought battle was guaranteed. On the very next drive, Titan power back Piere Gray found the right edge, sprinting 70 yards down the sideline for a touchdown to tie it up 7-7 before a full minute had elapsed. Port Arthur came in boasting one of the top defenses in the state, allowing under 9 points per contest. But it was the Bulldogs' bend-don’t-break defense that turned the tide, repeatedly forcing field goals while the La Porte offense finished drives with touchdowns to take a 24-20 lead into halftime. And at halftime, there was no letdown there either! The Titan Marching Heat, Marching Flames, Chatos, and Mighty Bulldog Band kept the stadium pulsing with energy. The second half brought immediate adversity. The Bulldogs went three-and-out on their opening drive, and Port Arthur seized the momentum, taking their first lead of the night and demonstrating why they are ranked among the state's elite. After another stalled offensive drive, La Porte faced a defining crossroads. Punched in the mouth, how would they respond? Great teams answer the bell, and that’s exactly what these Bulldogs did. Taking full accountability, the players rallied to win play after play. Sean Simon ran with pure determination, setting the physical tone behind a dominant offensive line. Josh Wells displayed remarkable poise and growth under center, guiding the offense with confidence. On the outside, Smith and Wallace executed crucial blocks and kept the secondary occupied, while Reynolds came up big when his number was called, but his priority was neutralizing key defensive threats, and he did! "KD" Dieudonne provided explosive runs to keep the Titans honest, while Francisco Guzman and Tim Giddens anchored the line with the heart, grit, and leadership their former Trench Bullies would be proud of. Defensively, holding a team with Port Arthur's caliber and athleticism to just two breakaway touchdowns showed tremendous growth. Titan stud Brandon Richards has the kickoff return for a touchdown, but the Bulldogs did a great job of minimizing his impact offensively. The communication, scheme execution, and relentless "Dawg" mentality were fully present. You could hear and feel the collisions in the press box, and it was obvious La Porte wanted to set the tone. Paired with an offense averaging nearly 52 points per game in district play, this team proved it has all the ingredients for a deep playoff run. This victory was another major milestone checked off, bringing the program one step closer to its ultimate goals. As Coach Berneathy and his staff continually preach: when you focus on what you can control and win the single play in front of you, the results will follow. Overcoming tonight's trial embodied Coach Berneathy’s core belief, "Tough times create tough men, tough men create good times." Make no mistake: these Bulldogs are tough, resilient, and growing stronger every week. While this statement win carries huge momentum, the job is far from finished. The schedule now shows we went 1-0 for week 7. That is how it is supposed to be. You don't get bonus points because of the rankings. Our focus is to be 1-0 at the end of every week regardless of opponent. The Bulldogs now turn their attention to another proud and formidable opponent, Baytown Sterling, as the journey continues. Last night was what Texas High School Football is supposed to look like under the Friday night lights. Fierce competition, great bands, drill teams, cheerleaders, and proud communities showing up in support for the kids, and to enjoy fellowship with neighbors and friends. The awesome thing is we get to do it again next week as Bulldog Nation heads to Baytown’s Stallworth Stadium to take on the Rangers. Until then, enjoy this great weather, stay healthy, stay safe, enjoy your weekend and be ready to take this show on the road next week! Go Dawgs.

146 yards of offense ain't winning you any games. My Aggies need a some help desperately on offense.

Indiana came back and won. South Carolina making Florida look like Napier's Gators currently.

That is definitely the toughest district in 3A

Indiana is in a ballgame in Nebraska. 👀

True. Could go either way. Nederland kids are pretty prone to injuries these days, so I personally would take more caution.

Be interesting.

Halfway thru the 3rd quarter and we have 74 total yards and 2 first downs. Reed is 7-16, 54 yards and 2 INTs. Not good

I don’t necessarily want my starters sitting for half of three games in a row before starting a stretch against png, Texas city, and Dayton. Nederland might go as well as 3-0 in that stretch, but just as easily goes 0-3. Can’t afford a slow start just because the last couple weeks were blowouts.

I am afraid that is the case.

Marcel Reed is so bad. Hard to believe the backup is worse

Pot calling the kettle. Nice tribute to Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026.

WO-S survives wild ride, 42-28 By Tom Halliburton Disney World may never offer a more bizarre roller-coaster ride than West Orange-Stark and Hamshire-Fannett would experience in this strange district opener. From the dangerous dungeon of 21-0 as a Longhorn Stadium visitor, West Orange-Stark hopped onto the high rails for 35 unanswered points and claimed a hard-earned 42-28 victory Friday night. The Mustangs (4-2 and 1-0) survived by changing their defensive approach at halftime, summoning Channing Larkin and his friends to pressure H-F passer Blake Broussard while the offense unveiled its own clutch air game. Yes, Orange County, this WO-S team can throw the ball too. Senior quarterback Kwalin Dugas proved it time and time again in the second half, complementing the dependable ground work of Khelvy Jefferson who punched in just another five-touchdown night and settled for quite a few one-yard gains. WO-S sat back for a half, pressuring the Longhorns passer very little. Broussard threw two scoring passes and caught another one. The talented H-F quarterback was 7 for 7 before the bands played. That’s when WO-S coach Hiawatha Hickman decided his defense had to make the ride more scary for H-F and send pressure with man-to-man coverage gambles. The Mustangs’ journey turned way more pleasant after that. “We had to start bringing pressure,” Hickman said. “We stopped covering them and had to start doing what we do. We didn’t plan on being down like that…. We just manned up and let the chips fall.” H-F entered nose tackle Channing Larkin's brutal tunnel in the second half. The Mustangs’ pressure started with Larkin, a tenacious two-way all-district player who never came off the field. Larkin batted down passes, bottled up runs, hurried H-F’s plays and often just flat destroyed them. If Larkin wasn’t doing it, Anterrion Fontenot or Alexander Thomas was. The Mustangs decided they were going to enjoy the rest of the roller coaster. The result: H-F scored no second-half points and managed 80 yards after enjoying every twist and turn of the ride’s first half with 28 points and 183 yards. Meanwhile, the visiting passengers found the roller coaster became much smoother. Jefferson delivered his usual expected superior trip, carrying 25 times for 176 yards and five touchdowns. In spite of that outing, Longhorns coach Mark Waggoner felt his team did an acceptable job of enduring Khelvy's sprints and pivots. “I thought we bottled him (Jefferson) up pretty good,” Waggoner said. “Khelvy is an incredible player and the most prolific back in our area.” Jefferson managed two dashes of more than 12 yards. One covered 58 yards, setting up the Mustangs’ early touchdown. The next one turned the momentum in the first two minutes of the second half. The remarkable senior took a sideways handoff and ran 64 yards, cutting H-F’s lead to 28-20. This roller coaster offered an incline the H-F coaches had not anticipated at that point. Broussard went a shaky 4 for 13 after half and the lesser-heralded passer sent H-F on a painful, downhill skid. Dugas completed 8 of 9 second-half passes, finding five different receivers and connecting five times with junior Braydon Gipson for 111 yards. “We really hadn’t seen that (WO-S passing skills of Dugas),” Waggoner admitted. If the Horns could have changed one portion of their roller coaster suspense, they would have liked to alter the outcome of one snap early in the fourth quarter. That’s when Broussard threw a costly interception with the score tied at 28-28. The Horns passer was flushed out of the pocket, chunking a rainbow that bounced off the helmet of teammate Parker Sebastian near the goalline. Mustangs defensive back Travon Williams took the carom toward midfield. Near the end of the play, it became more disastrous for H-F when tackle Riddick Hurd sustained an upper arm fracture. A lengthy delay ensued as the standout senior was carted off the field. If H-F’s ride was going to improve, the Horns had to stop a third-down play nearly midfield in the final three minutes. That’s when Dugas solved 3rd and 7 with a 51-yard throwback pass to Gipson inside H-F’s 5. Dugas struggled with his accuracy early in the ride but finished 12 of 17 for 174 yards and a touchdown. He also carried the ball 10 times for 52 yards. “I put a lot of work (on my passing) behind closed doors,” Dugas said of his off-season efforts to improve as a passer. “We showed we could be more versatile.” Tom Halliburton is a sports correspondent for the Beaumont Enterprise

Amen

So the change in coaches made the district weaker? It’s the exact same teams in the district for at least the last 15 years, except for shepherd . Yall will say the most ridiculous & patently false ish to justify yall, so when yall don’t like the coach, any success he has is either due to weak competition, extraordinarily great talent on the team, or the other coaches are just letting them win. When it’s the coaches yall worship, they were beating NFL teams and NEVER lost? You don’t even see the contradictions in your own comment. “ The teams they play today talent wise(or , learn word usage) are nothing like the teams of the past “ then the same genius that made that statement, which is you , proceeded to say “ our general area has remained the same” which one is it either there’s no talent left in our local district & we’re only playing WEAK teams, or nothing’s changed , according to you our area has remained the same , and we’re not beating weak teams??? The cognitive dissonance you have is astounding, you can’t bring yourself to admit the truth because it would destroy your world view. That “ other coach” who yall claim is a great coach, & better than the coach at WOS , in 15 years, has never won a playoff game, never been to the second round, has never won a district championship, has an overall losing record as a head coach, but you and your ilk insist that he’s a great coach. That’s how you know yall are full of what goes in the toilet

Neumann kept starters in until 1st series of 3rd qtr in blowouts. I guess the coach felt they had something that needed working on. Tougher games are coming up.
