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]

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!!

We operate like a small town. The circle of news only runs in about 5,000 of that. The other 30 are just here and don’t care 😂

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.

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

Nor on your list and not SETX but North Shore will be making it's 31st consecutive playoff appearance Thursday night. 94'-26'

Nederland defense is like a box of chocolates, never know what you're gonna get.

Lufkin is ran by idiots and entitled parents. Literally seen a parent celebrating the coaching change on FB. His kid was literally one of the ones ejected against LaPorte. Lost count of the number of drops he had on the season too. Like this whole situation over spilled because of the personal fouls by Lufkin from that game. Earlier in the year they dont like the way the OC talks to the kids but after last week they want the coaches to rip the kids off the field by the face mask. Good riddance with this current SR class and their parents. If you're getting your head bashed in by 40 as freshmen its probably not going to change when you're SRs. They blame everyone but themselves for their kids being bad a football and then acting like punks because their kid is a sore loser. Abseck had the program going in the right direction..The new coach Will have a lot of pieces and talent to work with in the 9th and 10th grade classes. Oh well this is my rant. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Great win for Lamar!! Cards axed em

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.

Disagree strongly. He had all night to do it. Do it in the first half against kids who haven’t played both ways all night against a superior opponent. The game was never in doubt. He put his starters back in up 50 when Warren was on the goal line trying to score. You want to throw the ball with your backup QB don’t do it with 2 minutes on the game clock. His team may be full of winners but they didn’t learn sportsmanship from him last night.

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.

Big loss for Lufkin in my opinion, but there was no parting with his OC who was the issue with the district. Abseck complicity to not control his OC interactions, player discipline and laments with administrative people was the main downfall. Abseck did a lot of good getting the Lufkin program back on track, especially at the sub-varsity levels. He implemented other facilities improvements and was instrumental in helping to pass the bond for the Lufkin new stadium. Hard to figure the connection he has with his OC, because the two come across as polar opposites. I liked Abseck but keeping the OC around did not help this outcome. This OC scenario will replicate itself wherever he lands, the old saying "it's hard to change a leopards spots". No need to say more. I do wish Carl Abseck all the best success in the future.

19 consecutive for Silsbee.

winner will win 96 to 89 in a toss up.

I am a Fairfield alumni, We (Tarkington) played East Chambers, these teams are extremely similar. This might truly be a pickem game. If someone can "break serve" so to speak and get a couple defensive stops the pressure is going to mount greatly on the other team. Might be one of the best first round games in the state.

Location matters… It should be obvious that murder or any crime can happen anywhere. Certainly a horrific crime can happen anywhere at any time. But…. The odds or frequency are sometimes heavily skewed to some locations. The Mid-County cities of Nederland, Port Neches and Groves have a population of about 50,000 people. Beaumont is about 2.3 times the size of Mid-County. According to FBI statistics, in the last 5 years Mid-County has had 6 murders. Going by size and on a 1 to 1 ratio, Beaumont should have had 14 murders in the same time period of 5 years. Beaumont has had 79 murders in that time frame and a person has an almost 600% more likely chance of being a victim of a murder in Beaumont. So in comparison to size, Beaumont has had an additional 65 more murders than would have occurred in Mid-County in 5 years. That doesn’t mean that the people in Beaumont are bad because 113,000 people in Beaumont didn’t commit a murder last year. Some people have a difficult time with the fact that some areas have a much higher rate of violent crime and the average person has a much higher percentage of being a victim in those areas. Statements like, “crime can happen anywhere” are 100% correct. It’s also a fact that some areas have a many times higher likelihood of it happening.

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. 😎

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.

The only "glaring" omissions in these picks for me: 19-5A Baytown Sterling not making playoffs (return several from last years playoff team) 21-3A Diboll (who is state ranked) not making playoffs (Diboll basically returns everyone from last years team) 22-3A Warren missing the playoffs 24-2A Hemphill not making playoffs Also, I think you can throw a blanket over these five teams in 18-4A: Bridge City, Jasper, Silsbee, Vidor and WO-S. My picks would be: 1. Silsbee 2. WO-S 3. Bridge City 4. Vidor

I know not part of your rankings but don’t sleep on Good Samaritan. I have seen them in one game and two scrimmages so far this year and look very good.

True statement!! I'm from Warren and if you don't want to get embarrassed get better !!

Madisonville is better than HJ and Shepherd. If Madisonville brings their A game, they certainly can win.

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

Wouldnt his eligibility be problem?

Glad I quit gambling!

Well, the more I think about it Pujols would be a tremendous draw. He is well liked by everyone including the media. It would give the Astros a good PR shot in the arm as they need. Plus, who wouldn’t wanna play for Albert Pujols. His baseball mentality may be infectious.

Count some real points out there

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

I also liked when he just dropped and fell instead of taking on a tackle…

Win or lose, 1st round opponent is not going to be fun.

NFHS will have the video broadcast. SETXsports will have the free audio broadcast.
