PNG fans after they lose Friday

Trying to follow all those different scenarios has given me headache. WOS is the only undefeated team left in district play. The last home game, and it's for the outright district championship. That's all that need to be said.

If Bridge City and Lumberton win on Friday, then Bridge City would get the final spot regardless of the margin. If Bridge City wins and Lumberton loses, then that would create a 3 way tie for the 3rd and 4th spots between Bridge City, Lumberton and Splendora at 2-3. The first tiebreaker would be head to head amongst the tied teams. A Bridge City win would give the three teams a 1-1 record against each other. Then the tiebreaker goes to positive points (the combined margins of victory/defeat in the games among the tied team. Lumberton currently has a positive point total of +8 (29-0 win over Bridge City, but the margin of victory for figuring positive points in 11-4A-I is capped at 15; 7 point loss to Splendora. Splendora currently has a positive point total of +7 (7 point win over Lumberton). Bridge City has positive point total of -15 (29 point loss to Lumberton capped at 15). An 11 point win by Bridge City would have BC and Splendora having a positive point total of -4 with Bridge City having the head to head. Congratulations, Cardinal fans! Just when you think you had no other reason to root against LC-M, you were just gifted one.

Might as well include the Cougars in that early exit prediction

Do you remember, before the internet, that people thought the cause of stupidity was the lack of access to information? Yeah, it wasn’t that.

Who can clinch what this week: West Orange-Stark can clinch the #1 seed with a win or a loss of less than 7 to Hamshire-Fannett. Hamshire-Fannett can clinch a #1 seed with a win of more than 7 over West Orange-Stark. Silsbee can clinch the #2 seed with a Hamshire-Fannett loss or with a West Orange-Stark loss or more than 10.

It looks like Nate is getting his passing game together which means Newton will be much harder to beat going forward. The running game has always been there, as has the strong defense. I don't do score predictions since it is so arbitrary anyway, but Newton will win this game going away, and start preparing for their next opponent. By the way, I just finished the book between the white lines by Dave Burchett. I highly recommend it. It's about a tough man and a great coach - W.T. Johnston. You can probably pick up a copy from the Newton County Historical Commission 213 E Court st. Newton Texas 75966. Part of the profits go to the W.T. Johnston Scholarship Fund in Newton Texas. After reading it I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride at spending eleven years in that community, and a close friendship with Coach Barbay. I still have some dear friends there. Newton Pride Never Dies Go 🦅

That's what I'm told also...

Actually the 1st project is slated to be the turf and will likely be the 1st project completed.

Some got told to quit using the big fat pencil. That cut down the traffic.

Center plays Jasper this week, should get a good read about Center from that game. Jasper picked to win but in a tight game.

What do you mean just this Friday? This is all of us Indians fans, every day.

Great honor. Fierce competitor. They should induct him in the Player HOF because he was on the field most of the time.

No hurt feelings here but I have been to every game and I have seen the dropped passes, bad passes and holding onto the ball too long.... It’s a team effort and they all need to do their part. I hope our entire TEAM has a great game and gets the win in an injury free game Friday night! Go Indians!

Can we please stop keeping this thread alive? It's Thursday...go to the new thread Here they are for both teams Splendora Lumberton

Watch out you might make him be conservative and make less trick play calls, you know Lee's only chance in this game.

Looks like we will not be getting as much rain as Nederland hoped for. Time to call in the NFD to save the day. This might be blasphemy from a PN-G fan but I like the atmosphere at Nederland stadium even if their stands were built for only a 105 pound soccer mom to sit in.

Shame on the other employees that didn't stand up for victim. But the blame falls on the manager. Too bad he only got 10 years.

Just made a call to check it out and from what I was told they were all at Media day as of yesterday so if kids did transfer it was'nt the basketball players..

My grandson plays for Coach Babin and the raiders and he speaks highly of the entire coaching staff because the coaches care about those kids. Now if you think they should all be fired @Raider27 you should tell all of those coaches that to their face. I even googled coach Babin’s Email for you to make it easy, [email protected]. If you are man enough to email this head coach and all of his staff who are terrible and need to be fired, please post the replies here so we can get a good laugh. If you are a community member and you bash any coach where your kids and your neighbors go to school you should be ashamed of yourself.

I will say something on this...yes sponsors paid for this with the push of the booster club. We attempted to start a basketball booster club a or so before the first state championship. We elected a board and had a few members but could not get the needed support from enough fans or parents to function. The founders of the booster club did get a new scorers table purchased by a sponsor. And I believe the same sponsor has purchased a scoreboard not long ago. I think it is a shame there hasnt been enough support to put up the recognition that the Tiger basketball team deserves. One problem is the number of participants, a whole lot more football players than basketball. Its a shame at times to see the support basketball has got from the community through the years. Basketball has been the sport that has shown the most consistent success through the years yet generally you have seen little support in the stands until a big game or the playoffs.

That has been tried but ran into too much trouble getting the signs. They have to be approved by the highway department and some other issues. I know something else is being worked on but am not at liberty to say anything.

But...It's hindering....and unfortunate.

Sorry to hurt your feelings but dropped balls has hurt us this season. Have you been to the games? How many times has the ball been right there and we didn't make the play? We are just lucky that we have a decent defense. Not trying to stir you up but we need to catch the ball.

I live in Orange County. I promise you there are plenty of homes up for sale. They’ll be plenty more once insurance companies have settled all their Homeowner claims. He can believe what he wants too but the numbers are dropping.

It's Wednesday...

School district did not pay for it. Sponsors paid for it. Basketball fam wants school district to pay for such things. Majority of Tiger fans like it. You always have certain few who think their kids (sport) gets the short end of the stick. But, I do wish the city/school had something other than the two banners in gym repping the state champions.

From what I’ve heard a lot of Silsbee fans/citizens think it was over kill. Especially your 2x state basketball fam.

Be nice to Crosby they would have beat BH if it wasn’t for the Refs!😂

18/19 3-20. Yeah.. surely they'll do better than that.

If I had to make a guess on this one.. I'd have to say that Vidor wins fairly easily and Epstein didn't kill himself.

Going with BC on this one 😂

Let me save everyone the hassle of reading through 7 pages of nonsense... mud, turf, bleachers, and powder. Yeah that sums it up... oh wait, there’s actually a football game that’s gonna happen??

A school district has to count the students that are at alternative schools if they are going to come back to main campus. Otherwise, schools could send several students to the alt campus just to lower their numbers for realignment then have them back the next week. Early College is a separate campus and should not be counted but Pathway students should be counted because they are still considered students at main campus. Also, Early College is mostly all seniors or vast majority are seniors and you don't count senior class in any snap shot for realignment. The Livingston ordeal was they purposely did not count students that were at their alternative campus. You have to count those students. Thing is, Livingston had been counting them for years but then someone had the "bright" idea not to count them that time just so they would drop in classification. What I don't get is why schools would fudge on numbers for realignment? Why would they report less? A school should report whatever their number is because that's where they get their money from the state. More students, more money. If you are going to fudge, then report more, not less.

Nothing questionable. He in a nice way said, it’s unfortunate that Nederland has the worst facilities in the district and one of the 20 in the state with a sloppy field.. It is no secret!!! Old timers in the city call it an advantage because they can’t pass bonds. But the real world knows the truth. So I have no problems with his comments. Call it like you see it. Throw some powder on it and try and clean the place up a little...

I had stopped drinking; I am thinking of starting back.

Are you at the games to see what is happening on the field? Our receivers may not be perfect but you can’t put all of the blame on them. Acting like the QB is perfect and the receivers are the only problem is just ridiculous.

Please remember that this is a high school football game, not a pansy powder party. Time before last our PNG student section brought powder to the game at Nederland. The wind was blowing it right at the stands. My wife, and the woman next to me had to leave, as well as their husbands, because the ladies had a severe asthma attack from the powder residue. Baby powder is for babies. Keep it at home, and try yelling for your team, not making your own fans sick. Oh yeah, let's keep the fireworks & flares away as well. Is this statement I am making here common sense, gosh I hope so! If not, the immaturity has surely overtaken the sanity at our high school. For those who say "...these are just kids having fun..." then I say that the immaturity has moved to those adults, and parents who tolerate this behavior. NOW LETS PLAY FOOTBALL!!!

I’m sure you sat over there a few times when Ryan was playing

Minority opinion for sure. It was the talk on the H-F side. Most were impressed.

This is the mental illness that happens when liberals run cities! Good for Abbott! Clean the crap up!!

Barbers Hill and Crosby disappointed me the most by beating PNG.

I may open this back up a little later. But it seems that we are at a point in this thread where things are getting taken just a bit too personally.

That is my prediction...Mr. Wick

The ones with the best athletes. Lol

Expectations are high. Solid group coming back 6’6” sophomore post really developing well. If it wasn’t for those Hawks we could make a deep run....Gestapo is in pre season training. Lol

I agree with all of the above - Two teams not mentioned to keep an eye on: Livingston and Tarkington Livingston has Mya Miles who is one of the best players in the area - they also have a new coach Tarkington - returns all of their players off a team that lost a close game in Area and finished second in 21 4A - I think they come out of 21 4A as the champion this year but the misfortune there is they would see HJ in the 3rd round. For all 4A teams in our region - the road to SA goes through HJ - no doubt about it. Another 4A Region 3 team to watch (although not in SETX) is Fairfield - they only lost one Senior off a team that lost to HJ in the Regional Final. SETX girls basketball is on the rise - IMO - we have some very athletic teams and some very good players to watch this season.

Good question. Seems our school systems have a lot of bs going on the public rarely finds out about.
