We are in the process of putting together a Playoff Central thread that will include our coverage area teams, opponents, date, time and place and what team they would face the next round. We will do this for each round of the playoffs like what we already are doing with our Weekly schedule and Scoreboard. This will likely be posted Monday. We will also continue to do game threads for each of our coverage area games. Please be patient while we put this together. Thanks

Finished 6-4 and made the playoffs for the first time in school history. Hope they hold on to this coach for as long as they possibly can [Hidden Content]

Last night was a reminder that political power is borrowed from voters, not owned by politicians.

I voted today just to cancel my wife's vote who early voted. She made the mistake of telling me who she voted for and then had the audacity to not bring me breakfast in bed this morning. I showed her. I be that way sometimes.

This might be the most vanilla game PNG offense will have played all season and still win by 50+.

I grew up in a football first household. Indians, Cowboys and Oilers.. In that order. My first year of School at Ridgewood was an election year. We had to choose what party we were. I chose Independent so I could wear a purple I on my shirt all day. Basically I thought it was Indian! I used to ride my bike to school, steal a random Port Arthur News off a driveway to go over district stats for the weeks game. The 8os were rough for PNG. We could only beat Nederland it seemed like! My freshman year at PNG I had English first period, first Friday of football I got sent to the office for reading the paper! I needed my stats and info, and I always made sure I had my “I beat Bob West” pics sent in on time. And yes I beat him several times and had proof! I have been lucky enough to see 3 PNG state championship games. As well as 3 quarterfinal games. Not bad for a school that uses home grown talent. Small towns and Friday night lights are always and will always be the best times of your life. Times have changed, I used to get on this site religiously, even won the pick ems one year. Was even a pollster. What I will say is this. Even with the times changing, SETX HS Football is the funnest and most die hard in the state of Texas. This board shows the enthusiasm and the desire from so many. It’s what’s makes SETX what it is. So congrats to all the playoff teams. Much luck in the playoffs. And to my Nederland fans, it’s been rough since Uncle Larry left, but I can’t say it upsets me…… Once little brother, always little brother. And to my Indians. Once again, we are district champs, and hopeful to make a playoff push! So this morning I decided I would dedicate a post to Bob West. He covered sports in the area better than anyone… Tom Halliburton as well. So with a no nonsense post, and I’m known for not being a rah rah… Times have changed, but one thing hasn’t. PNG is still on top of the mountain. Old school is for hardware, new school plays for participant ribbons….. Happy Saturday folks!! I’m still bleeding purple till my last breathe!! I won’t bore you will all of it.. 4 time state champs……. PNG….. Enough Said!!

Great win for Lamar!! Cards axed em

I wasn't going to comment but after reading some of these before and after game comment s I'm going to weigh in. Big Ned won the game and good luck going forward. You don't hear anyone from Dayton crying or complaining about the game. I think Ned is ranked 23rd and Dayton 60ish in the State and all of the Big boys had Ned pre-picked with a relative easy win. ( only one fan in the pickems choose Dayton- one) So to get on here and say Ned was flat ,uninspired and let Dayton get a 20 point lead in the first quarter is a little disingenuous not to give Dayton their accolades. The real reason for the anomaly - you got punched in the face and underestimated a team that was alot better than you thought. Let's be honest saying things like we finally finished a game - ?when Dayton had 50 yards of penalties ( and this was all on Dayton being stupid) in their last two drives-odds on Dayton probably would of won. After being in the cellar for years Dayton is climbing out and getting more formidable every season so don't sleep on us.

Maybe Nederland plays like they did vs. Crawford and gets a road win @ Huntsville? These are 14-18 year old kids. Focus on what they did well. Down 20-7 and they keep competing for a road win. Find the positive. #10, #8, the defense getting a stop of 4th down to seal the win. This team could give you a bucket of gold and you would complain about the bucket.

Some of you adult men should be ashamed of yourselves. These are teenagers and they have fought to get back into this game. Embarrassing.

Thursday watching Huntsville vs Montgomery on the back porch cooking chili. Friday eating at Lercy’s Dinner West in Mont Belvieu then Nederland vs Dayton Saturday Lamar vs SFA tailgating. Menu is Fajitas and Tacos, margs, queso, hot sauce. Then 2$ beers at the game. Please come out and support LU!! Huge game!!!

Region 1 and 2 - Metroplex Region 3 and 4 Houston State - San Antonio

And anyone who distanced themselves from Trump was criticized and not nominated. Leading to awful candidates running in races and a lot of them are going to lose seats the right should’ve easily been able to hold.

Trump and the GOP own the results tonight. They had 2 years to show how awesome they were and they failed miserably! Affordability and Accountability is all the people that voted for Trump wanted and he failed miserably. I have zero sympathy for him and his cohorts.

Nederland should win. I like Dayton and they always play a great game against Nederland. The problem this season is Nederlands strengths are exactly Daytons weaknesses. Good Luck Nederland, and Good Luck to our Purple Brothers. Here is wishing a safe game.

There was a meme on Facebook that said "I'm going to respond to every campaign text the day after the election with "Sorry, just got this" 🤣

After giving it some thought and speaking with some other folks in the business (along with some coaches), I have made the decision to do team rankings of our coverage area teams here at SETXsports. I haven't done them in a few years but I think it's time to bring them back. I am not going to pretend to know everything about every team we cover here but I think I can put out a pretty accurate assessment of our teams. I will reach out to others (including some coaches) for input on some teams. These rankings won't be the "end all, be all" and I fully expect negative feedback from week to week. I have tough skin and invite any feedback to help give a more accurate ranking. These will be SETXsports rankings but in the end, it's just my opinion. Whatever that's worth. I will be doing the 3 poll system. Top 10 6A/5A, Top 12 4A/3A (more teams in this group), Top 10 2A/1A/Private. I thought about doing top 12 for all three and bring back the Dirty Dozen Rankings label. But for now, 10,12,10. I will post a Pre Season ranking on Tuesday, November 10. But, I will not follow up the next ranking until after Thanksgiving. Probably first of December. Then it will be a weekly ranking from that point until end of regular season. Most likely will come out on Tuesday mornings each week. These are the teams that are eligible for these rankings: 17-6A (Channelview, Crosby, North Shore, Humble, Atascocita, Kingwood, Summer Creek, CE King) 18-5A (Northbrook, Spring Woods, Kingwood Park, New Caney, Porter, West Fork, Splendora) 19-5A (Goose Creek Memorial, Baytown Lee, Baytown Sterling, United, West Brook, Dayton, Nederland, PA Memorial, PN-G) 18-4A (Bridge City, Jasper, Lumberton, LC-M, Silsbee, Vidor, WO-S) 19-4A (Hamshire-Fannett, Hardin-Jefferson, Huffman, Liberty, Livingston, Shepherd) 20-3A (Anderson-Shiro, Tarkington, Coldspring, Crockett, New Waverly, Onalaska, Trinity) 21-3A (Diboll, Huntington, Pineywoods CA, Central Heights, Newton, Pollok Central, Woodville) 22-3A (Anahuac, Buna, East Chambers, Hardin, Kirbyville, Kountze, Orangefield, Warren) 23-2A (Chireno, Garrison, Joaquin, San Augustine, Shelbyville, Tenaha, Timpson, Woden) 24-2A (Colmesneil, Big Sandy, Deweyville, Evadale, Hemphill, Sabine Pass, West Hardin, West Sabine) 28-1A (Brookeland, Burkeville, Chester, Goodrich, High Island, Hull-Daisetta, Leggett, Spurger) Beaumont Kelly Beaumont Legacy Please post any thoughts here if you agree or disagree with how these rankings will be done. Again, I want to hear from you guys. Any and all help is welcome.

There’s so many signs out everywhere I think I voted for a realtor. 😳

WHEW!!!!

The best interpretation of this game is it was two good teams who took it down to the wire. Someone had to lose. Anyone trying to make it mean more than that for either team is ignoring a lot of good and bad on both sides. Neither will be favored next week, but both can win.

Good dub for ole LU. Overall a fun game to watch. 😎

Congratulations @prepballfan for winning the regular season contest. This was the first time we've had so many perfect scores since I've been keeping track. 10 in total We still have 6 more weeks to go to crown the playoff and overall winners.

2morehourslol might've been a better choice of name.

I would make Athens or Canton a favorite but HF certainly is capable of winning the game against either team. Again, I think it's ridiculous to say they can't win.

No team in SETX has a chance, you haven't heard??? 🤦🏾‍♂️

As concerning as I find it that Texas has a democrat for a governor, I'm behind just about everything she's pushing when it comes to public schools. If she can accomplish what she's trying to in that regard then some good will come out of all of this. Ending STAAR Firing Morath Auditing no-bid vendor contracts Ending the voucher program Pausing the accountability rating system 4/5 I'm 100% behind, and as for the accountability system, it needs a major overhaul if we're going to keep using it.

Ehh heard they had some poor coaching so idk 🙃🤣

I'm good with that. Let me get on the phone.

He already has. Said Abbott being a RHINO is why he lost. SMH That dude never takes any blame. Always passing the buck.

Go put that mess in the SFA thread. 😀

Would be nice to have two semi locations - Region 1vs 2 one location - two days of games, Region 3 vs 4 one location two days of games. The small school big school format makes it difficult if not impossible though so maybe 1a-3a sites, 4a-6a sites or any combo like that.

Instead of having them scattered across multiple predetermined sites, why not turn the semifinals into one big Texas high school basketball jamboree? Similar to what we already do for the state championships. But hey, I'm just here to complain. 🤭

Whatever happens, I'm just glad we'll get a reprieve from the constant texts, calls, TV commercials. Every ad accuses some candidate of being a pedophile, pedophile enabler, trans supporter, etc. You have to be mentally challenged to fall for this crap. Texans ought to be ashamed of the current state of our state politics and political leaders.

Texas won it's independence in Deer Park sir. Don't believe me just ask anyone from there!🤣

Big Ned will destroy Dayton as they dog walk them to at least a one point victory " no doubt" !

Its senior night, so I doubt it...I know LaPorte's HC is ultra-competitive and considering what happened to them last year in Rd 1 I dont see them taking anything for granted or turning it down Week 11

Even then, a lot of times arrangements arent made until after lunch Sat or later...I guess I should be glad people care but people were legit mad in my email lol

Glad I quit gambling!

Keep pushing that narrative. None of what we think or what you say matters to the kids that work their tails off for the blue and silver. 112%

Silsbee defense is very beat up. But credit to Shepherd for hitting those big plays.

1989NDN, you gotta know ole spider…he’s our resident Debbie downer…everything sux and that is when he’s his happiest…best just let him be miserable

Anything on YouTube is better than nothing. I get that there are paid options, but I’m baffled why more schools don’t have something on YouTube for a little extra revenue.

Trump (MAGA) is so bad and toxic that Texas flipped entirely blue. Abbott lost by a million votes. MAGA didn’t even try to cry about voter fraud this time, that’s how bad it really was

Yes the stadium is beautiful. Best one I've been to this season. LaPorte has something to be proud of. My son had a pretty good game. He got an Interception, caught a couple of passes and had a couple of really nice returns. He was one of the A team kids they kept down. I've been calling it the B+ team lol but they lost 12 kids to JV and 1 to varsity after grades. In 2 years when paired with the current 10th graders they're going to be a problem. The young QB we got has a chance to be special. He's going to need to have a big game tonight for us to have a shot. Ill be back down tonight to enjoy the stadium.

He was down… don’t let these commentators talk you of it lol. They won’t stop talking about it…

Oh well.., that will give him plenty of time to polish his Gold Trump Coins.

Good thing a Yellow Jacket doesn't have hair. Because otherwise they about to be scalped.

When I cast my vote, it won’t be for or against either individual. It will be to keep the liberals from gaining control. If the GOP looses control to the dems, things will really stupid. It’s a shame this is how things are.
