Just got to hotel. Scratching my head why PNG never rolled a safety over to help CB all night. SOC QB just threw it up and their athletes just do their thing. I think rolling a safety over the top would’ve help. SOC rarely was able to get to second level running ball. I would’ve took my chances. Also, PMG became too predictable on offense.

I don't see what PN-G could have done different defensively only giving up one TD is a good accomplishment

Extremely proud of this team! They kept getting better and better each week and went on the grind! STATE CHAMPIONS!!

I can settle this all right now lmao 🤣😂 Just like with Port Arthur Memorial someone had a bright idea to create a song before said game and go mini viral: i blame both losses on the songs lmao 😂😂😂😂

PNG has had a phenomenal season!! Good job Indians.

You wouldn't have commented if he was an A&M commit, your saltiness is showing

SOC definitely made some adjustments defensively, they are really sound on that side and have been for a few years.....the DC is well regarded and has worked at places like A&M and Boise State.....when PNG was pulling they were able to outnumber SOC because they had schemed SOC well and appeared to have figured out some of their rules....SOC made one adjustment on the fly in the 2nd Qtr, but it left them vulnerable w/o a 3rd level defender and thats wheh Nguyen busted the long one down to the 3 and they made it 17-5. They cleaned getting outnumbered on the pull and then they made a change at LB that helped. SOC offensively isn't complex, but sometimes being simple is best....they didnt trust Little in the 10 personnel (4 wide 1 RB)packages all year and PNG had a great scheme to deal with SOC's running game when they were 20 (3 WR, 2 RB) ....so they decided to trust Little more and we saw more 10 personnel in the 2nd half.....

Talent alone isn't taking you to back to back to back championships......period..... "Coach"

Congrats PNG. Any season that you play 16 games is a great season. Lots of good players coming back next season too.

History made for SOC and Coach Todd each. Unbelievable.

You’re on drugs. PNG is one skill pos away from having a state title. Just one dynamic QB or RB.

34-24 > 34-13 I almost got it. 🤷🏾‍♂️ PNG played better than I expected. Kudos.

GREAT SEASON PNG! VERY PROUD OF YOU! YOU REPRESENTED SOUTHEAST TEXAS VERY WELL!

Game honestly shouldn’t be close PNG outmatched at every position but props to PNG for being able to keep it close due to SOC being so poorly coached

Final Hardin-Jefferson 61 Goose Creek Memorial 53 With this win, this gives HJ head coach Clay Davis is 300th career win. Congrats Coach Davis on the milestone win!

86-45 Silsbee final

So much for the momentum change 17-5 PN-G 3:32 2nd

Halftime United 25 Cita 18 United went to spread in the 2nd. Cita only scores 2 points in the quarter.

You don’t shut down a can of whoop ass.

At this point I think there's more PN-G fans than South Oak Cliff fans

Maybe I should be a fan of the team that ran PAM off the court by 30 or the other unranked team(s) that beat you. 🤷‍♂️

Off the top of my head, roughly 9 or 10 on defense, and 9 or 10 on offense, but note that my post said "players", not "starters". Depends on how one defines "starters", since there were various starters due to injuries. As an example, #16 and #6, starting Sr linebackers, missed several games due to injuries, and #26 a Jr, and #43 a Soph, "started" against Dayton, Texas City, Willow Ridge and maybe 1 or 2 more games. Others that came up and played included RB #15, and WR #88, both Sophs if I'm not mistaken, and also #42 on defense. Others "started" on special teams, and were back-ups or otherwise saw playing time. The speedy WRs, #18, #10, #84, will be hard to replace, player for player. But the offense may have a slightly different look, presuming #19 becomes starting QB. Adams will be more of dual threat than Crippen was (with all due respect to Crippen); and he was a pretty good QB in middle school and part of his Soph season before he was moved up to varsity. Next season will be interesting.

Wish we could have best games in the title game, Glen Rose/Carthage, Longview/Aledo. I’m sure there are others.

Congratulations PNG! Great run, nothing to be ashamed of. You made to the Championship game against a team loaded with D1 talent and you came away with respect! I hope Joseph sticks around and you guys start making consistent deep runs and actually win another championship!

Yeah cause NS has the talent to match up with them…but the diff is superior coaching. Point is DV runs through the rest of the state solely off talent.

Yeah ill call you not smart. Back to back 5A state champs, took out 1,2 and 3 ranked opponents...

They called me crazy for saying this last night…but I’m debating with ppl who really don’t know the game, doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that these ppl are relying solely off talent and are poorly coached

This was a very winnable game for PNG. IMO, PNG didn’t make the needed adjustments at halftime. I was not impressed with SOC. However, hats off to them for the win. PNG will be back next year.

Don’t worry, both are locks.

Foundation was laid the year before the first ship, it could be said it was laid the year before that honestly. I expect the winner of Argyle vs SOC pt. 2 to win it all next season in 5A D2. My money is on SOC.

Leave PAM outta this Please and thank you

Congrats to PNG! Time to recruit a few titans and bull dogs

Its alright ill let coach football on my team pops

Very impressive playoff run especially considering the caliber of competitive.

The Indians have imploded

When your offense gives up 11 points to the defense it's hard to come back from that

Dumb. Just run into the endzone man. Lol

Pick 6 may be the ball game

BU putting on a clinic, they may be humbled but it won't be tonight.

Halftime 17-12 PN-G

That safety could be a momentum changer.

End 1st United 14 Cita 16

Goal line stand for the Indians 5:00 1st 7-3 PN-G

If the SOC Coach closes his mouth, will he suffocate?

Clear facemask. Ray Charles could see it.

I have no idea who is gonna win this game. SOC has a lot of swagger. PNG is gonna have to come out early and punch them in the mouth. Much like FBM I think if you can rattle them, you can beat them. PNG can not let them get momentum early. If SOC tastes blood early it could be a long night for PNG. This is the most well balanced, disciplined PNG team I have ever seen. If they can not make mistakes they will bring home the trophy!!!

He picked SOC back in August to repeat. He’s not backing down from his pick. Lol

I don't have an issue with it...the team gets to sleep in their own beds tonight
