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.

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.

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.

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

Hardin Jefferson is absolutely a top 25 team. The TABC process highly rewards last years results, because HJ lost in the first round they aren't on here, doesn't factor enough who they bring back and how quality their opponent they lost to was. HJ is going to be really really good this year.

Jasper at WOS senior night for my son so I be on the field

2 weeks left in regular season and it's getting tight at the top. Aggies is making his typical climb. We also have 14 that beat the expert ??? this week. He's getting tired lol

I base it on giving up 42 to WOS, most in the 2nd half and giving up 31 to an always overrated Silsbee team

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

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.

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

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

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.

Gohlke, PN-G prevail in OT, 27-24 By Tom Halliburton Jude Gohlke and Ace Reeves kept going to the well and Port Neches-Groves might say that a “purple rain” eventually drenched its neighbors. This latest Mid-County classic contained a brand-new final act entitled overtime but when it came to win, the Indians tried nothing new at all. They merely ran the same play which kept filling their buckets at the well throughout this memorable Friday night. The speedy junior quarterback took the final snap and went to the well one last time, following his huge left tackle Reeves on a game-winning seven-yard touchdown run. The game-winner lifted PN-G over a gallant Nederland squad, 27-24, before a very excited full house at Indian Stadium. The play – “wide zone to the left” -- was the well from which PN-G’s purple rain prospered. The Indians (5-3 and 4-0) simple tried an ancient strategy of running a good play for as long as it worked. Gohlke ran 22 times for 116 yards and three touchdowns. His final carry was PN-G’s play in overtime, overcoming a momentary 24-21 deficit. Nederland (5-3 and 3-1) unlocked the 21-21 regulation tie on its lone extra possession when senior kicker Tucker Belaire successfully booted a 42-yard field goal from the right hash mark. That kick enabled Gohlke, Reeves and PN-G’s offensive unit to know what it needed. Gohlke unleashed the purple rain with a headfirst dive for the north end zone easily before Dogs’ defender Takorian Scott could get there. It created an on-field celebration PN-G fans will never forget and it placed coach Jeff Joseph’s squad in sole possession of the District 9-4A-II lead. “I didn’t think I was going to get in at first but I was there,” Gohlke said. “We were going to pass more than run it this much but the run was working so we stayed with it… I trusted my guys up front.” The trust factor was huge for left tackle Reeves (6-4, 295), the leader of coach Dan Welch’s offensive line. “The play kept working and if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it,” Reeves said. “If they can’t stop it, keep running it.” Indians chief Jeff Joseph and Welch both praised offensive coordinator Collin Gizzi for staying so persistent in going to the well. “Collin did a great job of calling the game,” Joseph said. “He just kept putting the ball in the playmaker’s hands.” Bulldogs boss Scott Rich felt the Indians “just made one more play than we did.” “At times we stopped that (wide zone) play but they went right back to it,” Rich said. “It was two great football teams playing a great game.” Gohlke had a rough night trying to throw anyway. He completed only 5 of 17 passes for 63 yards but one incomplete pass easily could have prevented the night from extending into overtime. The quarterback threw a perfect pass to a wide-open Daylan Jackson who dropped the pass. Jackson could have walked in for a game-winning touchdown with 44 seconds left in regulation play. “I was just moving too fast,” Jackson said. “The game was on the line and I just didn’t look at it all the way in.” PN-G eventually won the yardage count, 274-253, but Nederland led in first downs, 16-12, and owned a 173-115 edge in first-half yardage plus a 14-7 lead on the scoreboard. The game’s leading rusher, Nederland senior Jaedon Ned, carried 21 times for 146 yards and one touchdown. The Bulldogs running back appeared to depart the game with four minutes to play after a violent collision with Indians’ defensive back Christian Chiasson. Ned’s determined runs and an accurate pass connection from Jaxon Collins to Brayden Clay vaulted the visitors to a 14-0 advantage by midway in the second quarter. That’s when the home team started to pound back. PN-G quarterback Jake Ashworth pounded so hard on a first-down gallop that he clobbered Houston chapter umpire David Wilson to the ground. Wilson laid motionless for a brief time but regained consciousness. The official was removed from the field on a stretcher and was transported to Beaumont’s Christus St. Elizabeth Hospital for observation. The Indians caught a break midway in the third quarter when a roughing the kicker penalty on Nederland gave PN-G a first down at the Dogs 5. The Bulldogs would have retained a 14-10 edge after Caleb Sanders converted a 27-yard field goal. But the Indians opted to take the points off the board and Gohlke headed to the well on the next snap from five yards out. The 14-all tie remained until Jackson Lane opened the final quarter with a quick 13-yard toss to Clay. PN-G immediately responded with Jackson’s leaping catch and Ashworth’s scoring plunge. Nederland will entertain Texas City next Friday while PN-G will visit Baytown Lee. Tom Halliburton is a senior sports correspondent for the Beaumont Enterprise

I find it funny that the "Ned Haters" were nowhere to be seen on here through the first 8 weeks of the season (outside of Mr. Pessimistic) but lose in OT to your rival and then fall to a fairly good TC team, and they come out in droves. Fair weather maybe???

Mr. George has the right attitude. Turn the page, flush the Texas City game, rally your kids, and get ready for Dayton. There is still a lot to play for and high school football goes by fast. Love your son, support your kids, and don't let a PN-G game or Texas City game beat you twice. Once you get in the playoffs, its a six-game grind. After the first playoff game, there are no "home" games. All of that, and get the ball to #10 and #8. On defense, run to the ball and wrap up. Enjoy the ride. It goes by fast. Peace. GO INDIANS!

Some of yall are some real haters. Brayden Clay’s penalty didn’t stop the team from winning. If it hadn’t been for his two quick tds the game would have been over. Blaming him for a penalty, when they got another right after and they scored on the first play. Yall get on this website every week talking crap, and probably never touched a football and just passed out water bottles. Keep the Clays out your mouth.

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

Lcm qb and freshman rb dawgsssss

Seeing as y'all didn't give up anymore points and because it was BU. We'll go ahead and call it a Donkey Stompin!🤣

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.

It took Neumann 5 years to basically get his program where he wanted it. Rich has been there, what, 3 years? Don’t you think you have to give him a chance to build his system?

The biggest issue Ned has to fix is learning to play as a Team. To many individuals that play strictly for themselves and it shows. Players parents running their social media platforms like they are getting drafted by the Seattle Seahawks first round. Everyone knows the parents and grandparents that want to call all the shots for their babies and Coach Rich and some of the other coaches need to cut the cord and run the program with or without them. Coaches across the tracks definitely don’t play this nonsense. For all of us that played for Coach Neumann would also agree. For the record I feel Tx City may be a true upset for this exact reason. Just my 2 Cents and I am tired of seeing our program go to crap and losing.

Forget a belt. Go Stone Cold Steve Austin on them and open up a can on them. 🤣

If a current player has been injured then absolutely they should be on the sideline. I’m referring to the players that have been on the sideline that were injured years ago but somehow can play other sports.

2nd week in a row finishing at the top. Sitting 3rd overall. Cream is rising.

I think the West Sabine vs West Hardin game will be closer than 35 points. If WH catches a few breaks it could be a very interesting game. Deweyville has scored 20+ points once this year (Kelly) against an opponent that wasn't a home school team or just brought football back this year. I think Colmesneil wins by 3+ scores to set up a show down with West Sabine with the district title on the line.

One of the players has been injured for four years and had only played a few snaps. Guess those patches on those letterman jackets are crucial. One of the other players has played full time on JV and definitely isn’t good enough to play on Varsity. Just my 2 Cents
