WHEW!!!!

Reading these comments is beyond frustrating. I’m #13’s dad and have spent a lot of time around these kids at team dinners and other functions outside of the games on Friday night. They have a very tight knit football family and all love and genuinely support each other. The coaches have built and sustained that culture which I believe is the only thing holding this team together after the last two losses. To be successful, its going to take us as parents to continue to support this team in every aspect. Hollering at the coaches and screaming who to play and when needs to stop. It’s not helping. I know your intentions are good and we all want the same thing, but it is only causing fractures and division. We are blessed to have a group of kids like this that support and love each other as much as they do. Let’s do our best to continue to encourage that.

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.

Thanks 33. You the only one congratulating the kids. Now all this other controversy... Smh. This supposed to be about the kids. Not grown folks getting in their feelings and having an axe to grind and their own agenda. That's what all this stems from. All this controversy and these kids dont care they just want to play Mustang football. They've done it since they were young. The juniors are ready for thier time too. I spoke to one that was very happy to shine late in the game. Starters should've been out and resting after halftime. Trust me when I say this... It'll all work out in the end. Nothing last forever. Only thing guaranteed in this world is change. The leaves will fall.

Fairly certain that everyone supports the kids. But at the same time can see when there is poor judgement and a very critical time to have a stupid (yes it was stupid) penalty. It was selfish but at the same time the kid needs to have the ball more. The parents, both, seem to be creating friction. Drawing attention to this thread, making posts on FB and taking all credit for the kid keeping the bulldogs in the game but not being able to admit that it was a mistake after that last TD. It’s ok to say it was a poor decision. Dogs have a decent wave of athletes and should do fine but man their parents are wild. Some of the same ones saying “don’t worry coach Barrow, we are in the way” a few years back. Them having a tree lighting ceremony for winning 8th grade district title. Let’s the kids play, teach them humility and team first. The coaches need to step up with culture, it hasn’t gotten better. And there is zero reason to have delay of game on a kick off, tacked on to the unsportsmanlike…also, tackle someone, PNG QB and TC RB looked like prime Barry Sanders

I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to Mr. Clay and his embarrassing mouth and attitude. Been seeing it since youth football. He should never be allowed to step foot into another game.

Man, I think of all the players and coaches who have to put up with these comments. If you think negative comments helps your “team”, you’re wrong. To all the players and coaches, all teams have had games just like this. If not, it’s coming. Coaches, get your players together and tell them this was a tough loss, but that you and the fans are behind them. We’ll win the next one and make a deep playoff run. I don’t have a kid playing, I’m just a fan. Don’t take the negative comments to heart because they are not involved. Go Dogs!

PN-G taking care of business and is rolling going into the playoffs. Backups were in the game in the 1st Qtr and multiple new kids from JV in for most of the game. Coach Joseph and his program is proven and has the hardware to back it up. It's difficult to get to the state championship and he did it his first 2 years and won one of them. The coaching staff deserves a lot of credit to prepare the players and then get them to execute and make adjustments along the way when needed. All of the sub-varsity teams down to the middle schools are having success. Great job all around. A state championship is not just words or a wish. It's achievable. That's the standard that is real at PN-G.

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. 😳

AAW, thank you. Very well done and much appreciated.

My favorite play of his tonight was actually an interception he threw. He pursued the kid who caught the ball when no one else could catch him and he lit his butt up, popping him out of bounds with a shoulder to the side. Kid is amazing

Doing a lot of typing hiding behind a fake name. Come out, come out whoever you are and I’d love to converse with you haters. Dad was escorted out, he was right there to see his son make two tds, which by the way was the reason the bulldogs were in the game.

It was a mess and from my point of view all started by CE King. King players were displaying poor attitudes all night and after seeing their HC and his antics last night I can see why his team acts the way they do. King is very very talented but leadership isn't the greatest. That talent will only take you so far.

SETXsports was just approved to do free audio broadcast of this game. Aaron Ward will be on the call. I just might make an appearance.

Do it. 😎

Go put that mess in the SFA thread. 😀

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!🤣

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.

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

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

10-5A D2 Playoff spots are clinched and top two seeds are clinched. Here are the current standings: 1. PN-G (5-0) 2. Texas City (4-1) 3. Nederland (3-2) 3. Dayton (3-2) PN-G has clinched #1 seed. Texas City has clinched #2 seed. Winner of Nederland at Dayton Friday night will be #3 seed. Loser is #4 seed. This district plays 9-5A D2 in 1st round.

Final 52-23 Lamar Showdown next week at home vs. SFA

I would almost be certain he will be there. Him and Mason West as freshmen were unstoppable. Just have to get used to a different style RB. I don't mean in a bad way. This kid has speed and is dynamic. He loves to run downfield and make quick cuts, My niece is a cheerleader in the same grade. I got to watch them play. He is a different style RB than we have had in a long time. Trying to think of a past RB that's like him, but cant at the moment. When you watch his freshman season highlights he is cutting away from defenders almost every run. He can also take it outside. He has the speed and agility to take it anywhere on the field. He will be a special player. His brother is a WR on varsity, but is a natural DB which I believe he will be next season if I had to guess. He has played a few plays when we went though the spell were we lost so much of the team to a illness. He would be on O and then on D. He is a hard-hitting DB with speed to stick with his WR. They are an athletic family. The underclassmen are legit at PNG right now across the board in every grade. The size of the lineman O and D are huge. We will be really big in the trenches if not next season then the several after that. Our center who missed the season to a practice injury is 320-330. We also have Baby Manziel back, Ashworth back, and Mason West. A QB conundrum.

Very great point! Christmas tree lighting ceremonies, pics of these over the top Team dinners, parents creating their own new slogans and selling shirts for a profit is truly hilarious. They even tried to rename our families Metreyeon baseball field “The Land” a few years ago with T shirts. These parents need to understand this program has been here for years so quit trying to create your own personal culture. This is BIG NED!! Keep it the way it’s supposed to be!!! We don’t need T Shirts for every idea you think up.

Went and watched the freshman and JV this past Thursday, rough counted about 60 players on JV. Didn't count the Freshman team but it looks like PNG has about 140 or so young men participating in the Football program. This keeps all of the players on their toes and working harder to outplay their peers which makes them all better. I've said this before but the deep runs every year pays huge dividends in experience and confidence. For example #2 has probably played in 37 or so varsity games so far and if they go deep this year he'll have played in 40 or more games at the Varsity level. Considering about 10 of those games are in a playoff environment, it's very hard to catch up to a perennial winner because of this.

I will be posting District Playoff scenarios tomorrow or Monday. Getting all the info on tiebreakers first. Still have three games for today.

The game went as most expected.. I’ve seen similar things but I’m not gonna act like there isn’t a major talent difference in the two teams either.. I never bought into people hyping Jasper because of the coaches that were hired… You still have to have the jimmys and joes regardless of what some people think. Which is why WOS had a few off years when Hickman was hired regardless of what people say. WOS did what they were supposed to do to a team that they are much better than. One more week until playoffs!

Voting independent could be an ethical vote but totally ineffective.

I agree. The three poll system is the fairest (and probably most accurate). Combining 3 classifications is tough because of the disparity and folks are always trying to make comparisons of "who would beat who". That's not necessarily what these rankings represent. Does head to head come into play when ranking two teams? You bet it does. But the "hypothetical" win does not. You have to look at it from the perspective of how that team is doing within it's classification and it's schedule. BTW, strength of schedule is a factor in my mind. Also, we always have a faction of folks that cry about the inclusion of Houston area teams and teams way up north. But the bottom line is, those are in our coverage so therefore they can be in the rankings. As far as work load, doing two or three doesn't really matter. Still ranking 30 teams. I'll give it some more thought and will reach out to some coaches (ones who asked for it to come back) and see what they say. Again, I would appreciate anyone's thoughts on this matter and please post them here.

Best time of year. good luck to all teams in the area. would live to see a state run by another setx team

I’ve worn out my mute button on my remote, and I’m tired of replying “STOP” on my texts. I think stop just means for today.

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.

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. 🤭

I think styles make fights and Lufkin has a style of play that I think can keep this game competitive. Similar to how the Westbrook game went for LaPorte. Of course we could look up and Simon has 200 yards and 4 TDs and its not very competitive. Outside of the Longview game Lufkin has been competitive in every game this year. United got away late and I believe Lufkin would beat United more times then not. It was just one of them nights where everything went wrong. Should have also beaten GCM. Its been a roller coaster season. Depending on which Lufkin team shows up. Im expecting a 4 quarter game.

No excuses other than I just stink. Small schools I’ve never even heard of are wiping me out. But, I have gotten a lot better with my geography. 😊

I agree 💯

If you would have seen the bogus pass interference call and especially the last one then you would understand

Clay going to go from hero to choosing poorly with that inexcusable penalty.

Paxton is trash. But the two major parties forced me to pick the lesser of two evils, similar to a modern presidential election. And Paxton is infinitely a better choice than beta boy, 6 gender socialist Talifreako. Both parties suck, but one has been hijacked by the extreme left and the moderate dems seem not to care. Their only concern is power.

I believe he is # 13

I have my opinions about the coaching and Ill keep them to myself. I think that Texas City and Nederland have similar teams. Both primarily running teams. Though different styles. Both known for their front 7 on defense as their top trait. The difference is I have watched both teams play and there is a difference. Nederland is fundamentally sound and takes care of the football. I also observed somewhere that Nederlands special teams needed work. Well Texas City's special teams needs way more work. TC can and will hit you with a deep streak pass several times in the game. They are decent at it. If Nederland just get in there and plays the same game and intensity they did last week they will win the game. They are the better team. Anything can happen, but I believe Nederland will take this game. Good luck Nederland we are pulling for you.
