Congratulations PNG Enjoy the victory. When you great all they can do is hate.

Need to mention Oceguera, the kicker. 4 FG is a record. Fantastic. Would not have gotten the W without him.

A true champion shows their true colors during a loss. SOC, South Dallas, and SOC supporters have shown their self today. Taking one play out of 4 quarters of football and blaming that on the loss. Trying to take away what PNG accomplished today. Let's not talk about all the no calls on the SOC secondary. The drive prior to when it was blatant PI in the end zone and nothing was called. When Reid Richard is running down the sideline and gets tackled before the ball even gets there, no flag. Blaming the whole game on one call is a loser mentality and lack of accountability. PNG was the better team today.

I don’t know if Katy will ever be “Katy” again with all the new schools opening.

Did anyone else see SOC defenders all wear purple gloves so they can blend in with our jerseys so they could get away with holding. Especially #2 with the purple sleeves. They had light blue gloves last week against Emerson. But we're being called cheaters and have an asterisk because the refs gave us the title

Even though PNG is like 90 miles or so from Houston realizing this or not but not only yall played for SETX but yall played for the Houston area as well and not too many people will get that but the way yall represented yalls team like yall did and especially the fans they had no choice but to group yall with the Houston area so it was pretty obvious from the start but once I'm so proud of what you guys did yesterday and I hope this will be the start of a run here. (Except when you guys do play Huntsville again I have to roll with them since I work for the school district 😆)

I want to say congrats to PNG on winning the state title. I, like so many others thought that was a terrible PI call. All the replays they showed during the game showed both players going up for the ball with absolutely no interference on the play. I know we have bad calls here and there, but game changers like this are tough to get over. During the Duncanville/Galena Park game, they showed highlights from the PNG game. It showed the PI play from a field angle that showed the entire route the PNG player ran. As he entered the end zone and made his turn to the ball, the defender was holding his arm and jersey. Why this particular replay was not shown during the game is beyond me. It was definitely PI and a good call. I hope PNG fans can understand why people like me were misled. Anyway, it made me feel better and PNG’s victory is a great one over SOC going for a 3-peat. PNG represents our district, area, and region, and we should all be very proud for them.

Whole staff getting a raise especially the DC.

Just finished watching the taped version. Great game on all accounts. Players coaches fans. When I first started watching I said no way PNG can beat these guys. Y’all hung in there. Great calls and great plays by Nguyen and many others. Congratulations PNG y’all won State SE Texas style. Grit and Heart. 👍

When even DCTF is defending the refs, you know South Dallas has no case to prosecute. It was a good call. PN-G won, fair and square.

imo I don’t think son goes to Katy at all. He’s building his own legacy on his own.

Exactly I'm obviously not the voice of all coaches, but the opportunity to build something sustainable is the greatest measure of a coach. Winning one is impressive. But, creating a long-term, winning culture that wins consistently and has the opportunity to win multiple State Championships is what all coaches want. The opportunity to stay in one place and CREATE a program that others are measured against is what it's all about.

Buchanan at Aledo did and Surratt at Carthage did. So it’s not inconceivable.

This shows the ball in the air, so PI was the correct call.

PNG interrupted what would have been a clean sweep of North Texas state championships.

Because this years white helmet didn’t have Mecca on it. It had a very faint Gold outlined SOC on it.

PNG O Line was not outmatched. Gave QB Bailey (also not outmatched) time to throw and opened enough holes for Nguyen to get down field. SOC big goal line package was stout. SOC DBs were fast, but we exploited that D over the middle with their LBs playing so close to the line. PNG D Line and LBs adjusted in second half and stopped the run. Forced the pass and you were right, we put pressure on QB and changed the game. Green was great but Bears staff were stupid not to throw some swing passes or screens to him. One on one he was trouble but they never worked to get him one on one. PNG Indians 2023 5A DII State Champions LEGENDARY

Once again TY all for supporting us. I had the ability to see the play I was sitting just a few yards from it. The player grabbed our player and held him to keep in from running his route. SOC wore purple glove to prevent holding calls. Smart I guess. Not my type of thing, but I guess smart nonetheless. The refs were not a factor in this game. There was no more missed or extra calls than in any normal game. I thought they stayed out as much as possible. Met some great PAM people in our hotel who drove up to watch us play. A man from Northshore gave me a hug after the game and told us that he was proud that we brought a trophy back for US all of us in SETX. This is for SETX. Ofcourse its another trophy for PNG and I am proud of our boys, coaches, band, drill team, school, and ofcourse the Phillips family. The man from Northshore made me realize that when you win it represents your district, and your area. I didnt think about this whole Houston vs Dallas thing. Anyways again TY all. WOS you guys carried the torch so much in recent history. I hope we did a good job for all of SETX while you others finish what you started. There are several SETX teams that are close. I hope your time is next season. PNG has a ton back next season. Maybe we can make a decent run next season as well.

Pretty sure this is the 3rd straight season @KF89 has finished ahead of me by 2-3 picks. I gotta get back in the lab and regroup 😁

I guess that disproves that theory that you need an indoor facility to win state......

Congrats, again, PNG! You played with heart-driven passion today and left everything on the field to become the 2023 5A DII State Champions! “The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.” —-Phil Jackson

Matt Stepp just posted a pic of DPI on his Twitter. That was correct call.

I heard he was going to orangefield and was going to run the slot T

I sure hope so. Man I can't believe in 2 years someone who knew what they were doing could accomplish this with those Jim's and Joe's. Todd Dodge for president ???

Due to Daughter's wedding out of town, just got the place where I could read all these comments I am super excited about this win, my new SIL was as excited about this win as his getting married and he's a recently converted Indian fan. Congratulations to a bunch of 16 - 18 yr olds who made a whole lot of old and New Indian fans very Happy, thanks for all the hard work starting way back in biggest heat wave we' had in years. Everybody admires hard work and heart which many of you showed us for the last few months. I know some of ya'll haven't stop smiling yet, TY, TY, TY

8 on offense and 5 on defense coming back. Looking like another good year in 24 for PNG

You got the Powerball numbers?

I watch the video it looked like kicker was walking back to kick the ball and they had a person close to the ball for a quick kick. I couldn't get jersey number

From Houston Chronicle: Quote of the night: “First and foremost, I believe that God does everything for a reason. It was a blessing just having the opportunity to come back out here and compete with my brothers. We just came up a little short this year.” - North Shore QB Kaleb Bailey

That goes to show you that @KF89 knows more about football than we realize lol.

Well my streak has come to an end. Had 8 consecutive years of top 5 finishes coming into this season. Finished just outside in T7. But that makes 9 straight top 10 with a couple of overall wins in that span. I can live with that.

Saban went 12-2 in his second season at Alabama almost entirely with recruits he inherited from Mike Shula. He won a national championship in his third season at Alabama with a quarterback Shula recruited and red-shirted. Saban will tell you the reason he wasn’t successful at Miami was because of the mentality in the NFL. The players were older and not as coachable. Between that and the team owner, he felt like he was managing egos, not coaching a team. It’s why he was adamant with the Alabama boosters that he runs the program and nobody else from day one at Alabama. He accepted the offer from Mal Moore on that condition. He doesn’t think he would be successful anywhere in the NFL.

Probably the big reason why coach Jones is so successful is that he didn’t try to fix what was not broken. In addition he fully embraced the longstanding culture and expectations. Tradition is important. When CT was hired as head coach he had already been in the program for 30 years. He was a huge part in building the program at WOS. In Contrast HH changed offense and defense immediately. The kids were confused. Lack of discipline ensued and now the program is just another average program. You Dont have to be an experienced football coach to see the lack of organization on the field of play . WOS has been blessed with an abundance of top level student athletes year in a year out. It is not fair to our kids to not have the best coaches we can get. You can take a look at PNG and what they have done. They went out and hired Jeff Joseph and the results speak for themselves. PNG will be formidable year in and out with a coaching staff like that. PNG does not have the athletes that WOS but they do have the coaching. WOS no longer scares opponents when they see them on their schedule. It is so frustrating as a lifelong Mustang to see what is happening to our kids.

He is not leaving this year.

I’d start work on it January 2nd, if he’ll commit to staying 5 years.

Here is another of those missed calls. Nice face mask.

if I was looking for a head coach PN-g's DC would be who I would be going after.

Funny there's no mecca on the SOC kids helmet? Photoshop?

Same thing happened at Plano too much talent dilution

Cedar Hill terrible? Name all the teams in the district that have won more state championships than CH: NS and???. Talk all your junk about Desoto not being able to win in D1. Everyone be laughing at you.

As in hate to hear that.

Too much Too little Too late........ Bailey and lil Tilkki will have another shot next year

Ozen😂

OTOH, there are coaches who know every single one of those but are still piss poor coaches. I have worked with PhD’s that are outright stupid. Facts.

Yeah but SOC held PN-G inside the red zone 5 times. It just ain't fair.

The call was DPI. But because it happened in the end zone either penalty puts at the 2 yard line and automatic first down.

I would of like to see what he would of done with Roshon Johnson

They need to open it up regardless that staff has done an outstanding job
