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.

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.

Who y'all got? I like Huffman to get off to a good start early, but ultimately I think Bye week wears down the feared 5 man front of Huffman and squeaks out a W dropping Huffman to 4-6.

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" 🤣

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. 😎

Gotcha....didnt know he wrote a book... I do know when we wrote a feature before the state game on Hickman and taking WOS back to the title game we reached out to Coach Thompson and he only gave us a "no comment" Which kinda told me all I needed to know

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.

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.

Also keep an eye on Warren, they return a lot and I think take a big step forward.

The whole concept of playing for a FG hinges on having a great defense. Aubrey can be counted on, but it takes away from being aggressive on offense. The NFC East sucks so badly, the Cowboys are still in it. I don’t abandon my team, but the only HC I can remember who coached by being your friend was Bum Phillips. I’d really like a coach with some fire in their belly like Jon Gruden.

It’s embarrassing to be a COWBOYS fan right now!!!

I dont have the DEC rules, only was texted the point system and that once you go to points you stay w/points...if there's a provision about best mutual record amongst a 4-way tie aka a mini district it would make sense you'd take the teams who are 2-1 in the 3-way tie but w/o seeing the rules in the handbook there's no way to know for sure

Contest is very close this year. Top 9 separated by only 4 points with 1 week left to determine the regular season winner. Pickems will continue thru the playoffs. There will be a winner for playoffs and another overall season winner. So just because you're not in the lead doesn't mean you're out of it. Good luck everyone!!!

I don't think any one kid costs a game, it's a team. However, dude, I was like 5 rows from your hissy-fit at the game before you got tossed. Right behind the cheerleaders too. If you don't wanna be in people's mouths then don't act a fool. You're kid isn't the best player ever lived.

PNG is going to continue to pump out very good football teams for a while.

Final stats PAM BU Rush 41/242 yards 33/-46 yards Pass 3-11, 46 yds 9-18, 60 yds Total 52/288 yards 51/14 yards FD 18 5 (none in 2nd half) Penalties 2/10 yds 7/70 yds My thoughts: First with Memorial. This was my first time seeing this year. It's kind of hard to gauge just how good a team is when the opponent plays as bad as United. But, some of that bad play was due to the Titans. Memorial defense is very good. Very fast and attacks the ball well. They can bring the pressure when it's needed. Only draw back I saw was in that one offensive drive by BU that resulted in their only score. United QB picked them apart through the air on that drive (was 4-5, 52 yards on that drive, then got hurt). Titan D played a little on their heels in that drive. Outside of that drive, Memorial defense controlled the game. On offense, the run game was very good. Lot's of open lanes to run through. Oline did a fantastic job. Pass game was not that great but wasn't necessarily needed last night. I think that looks to be the weakest part of the offense and basically the team. Memorial will need some sort of a descent pass game in the playoffs. 30 of the 46 passing yards came on the TD pass in the 4th Q by the backup. He definitely looked to be the better passer. Like I stated, very tough to gauge just how good a team Memorial is off this game. As for United, well....... 7 turnovers in 1st half!!! I don't think I have ever seen a game where one team had that many turnovers in a half. Good news is BU didn't turn it over at all in 2nd half. They just went 3 and out on all 4 possessions. United fought bad snaps the whole game. Had 8 in all. Resulted in big losses, safeties and a defensive TD. (Memorial defense had 12 points total last night). Losing Bronson to injury pretty much sealed the deal for United but they weren't beating this Titan team with him. United has zero run game to keep defenses from bringing pressure off the edges. United got beat upfront all night. It was truly an offensive disaster for BU last night. Outside of that one drive where they scored (gained 56 yards of offense on 6 plays on that drive) United had a total of 45 plays for a -42 yards. SMH BU defense actually did quite well last night. They defended the pass very well and stopped Memorial on three 4th down tries. One would think a 56-6 score that the winning team would have more than 288 yards of offense but that wasn't the case. Memorial feasted off the BU turnovers and short fields. I thought United defense did all they could to help keep them in the game (Titans had 3 turnovers as well). In the end, this game was really more about the bad play of United than the good play of Memorial. @Mr. Buddy Garrity

I agree 💯

That definitely cost the Bulldogs the game!!! Inexcusable and the major issue is no coaches will hold him accountable over it. I would bench him to teach him a lesson.

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

PNG JV won 61-0 last night. Freshman won 45-0. Freshman B defeated HF 13-8

So. We have Dem’s finding candidates to confuse voters & steal votes, Dem’s electing Muslim Brotherhood supporters, and Rep’s sending out transgender material to rage bait voters. What a bunch of winners we have wanting to run this country. Every Vet I know is pretty much disgusted with the whole mess.

DCTX has this one too close to call.

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 agree HJ should be ranked, shocked they aren't but they will get added quickly I am sure. The main issue is they have to rely on last year if coaches do not submit their votes for top teams in their regions. It is crazy how few coaches voice their opinions to vote on this stuff for the preseason. Huntington, and Trinity are ranked too low. Surprised EC that low as well considering what they return as Dillard is really good. Diboll has a ton of Sophs that are talented and make them good as well. That district is maybe the toughest depth wise in 3A as PCA, Heights, Central, Huntington, and Diboll are all legit which means a really good team will miss the playoffs.
