PN-G bamatex

When I was in school, we used to say that copious amounts of Blue Bell must give people super powers, because Brenham used to own the Mid-County schools in just about every sport. I remember how proud I was when PN-G’s baseball team beat them during their state title run in 2017. I was equally proud when the football team beat them last year. You can never take a win over Brenham for granted, but I’ll take the Indians at home by two possessions.

You done learned not to pick against PN-G after last week, huh? 😉

I’ve said for a while now that Texas City deserves to be ranked in the DCTF Top 10. I stand by that now. Texas City by 10+.

I second this. Really enjoyed the game. Hoping since Nederland got the 100th edition at home, PN-G will get the 100th anniversary game at home in 2025 so we can return the favor.

Some quick historical notes for the PN-G fans out there who are, like myself, so inclined: The Indians' 25 point margin of victory over the Bulldogs is the largest any PN-G team has enjoyed over Nederland since 1992. Through 25 games, Coach Joseph now sports a 21-4 record with the Indians. This is the best start of any PN-G coach to make it to 25 games since Gene McCollum finished his second season with with the Indians 24-1 in 1947. It's the second best start of all time for a PN-G HC. Statistically speaking, he has outperformed even Doug Ethridge and Lew Ford so far (though Ford brought home a state championship ring in his first season, in fairness). I think pngindians.com and Down Trails of Victory make it easier to research PN-G history than it is to do so for any other high school program in Texas. "Daddy's money" is paying dividends. 😎

I don’t disagree at all, and I can think of one or two families in Nederland that would open up the checkbook.

It’s Nederland’s way of minimizing the Joseph hire. “PN-G only got him because they could hire Todd Dodge with Daddy’s money.”

The Flying Frenchmen? PN-G playing in Lake Charles? The undefeated 1946 Indians? Man, I’m seeing some PN-G chatter in here I haven’t read about in at least a decade. It’s good to have a championship-caliber program again!

Please keep the updates coming. I’m in Midland on business and decided to watch Permian play at Ratliff tonight. Currently in the stands.

I think we should play 19 times to commemorate the 19 straight seasons Nederland went without beating PN-G from 1965 to 1984. 😎

I guess I missed this because I was busy with Legislature-related duties at the time. I had no idea until a few moments ago. Even though I never met him in person, I always enjoyed bantering with Hagar here. I always got the sense he was one of the most levelheaded posters on the site. I’ll miss reading what he has to say. Belatedly, my thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Worst weather I’ve ever sat through in the stands. Was drenched to my core. Shocked my iPhone made a comeback. But a very entertaining game to watch.

Not whenever there’s a Barnett on the team.

At the risk of sounding unreasonably optimistic or contrarian, sometimes a flat game with lots of mistakes is exactly what a coaching staff needs to light a fire under the players' arses, restore the focus and bring back some motivation. I'm hoping that's what the Willowridge game will turn out to be for the Indians.

Those armadillo eggs are worth it, man.

And if you get hungry, T-Bone Tom’s in Kemah is a personal favorite.

Nick Saban’s 24 hour rule should be in effect in Port Neches and Groves right now. Celebrate the win over FBM today, get focused on Texas City tomorrow. We’re in the lead in the district race right now, but Texas City and Dayton are coming for us.

Educate me, Izzy! How'd did the United game go? They're prepared now, right?

Hey man, is Beaumont United prepared yet? I hear they played North Shore tonight. That game should be tons of preparation for 6A. How'd it go?

I am going to be very curious to see the state rankings for 5ADII this week.

Did that just happen? A shutout over Fort Bend Marshall? Indians win 7-0? Is this the Twilight Zone? Scalp ‘em!

My stomach hurt just watching that last night. 😂

Called it.

Hang in there, Soulja. The talent’s there. Just have to find the coaching.
