[quote name="Pirates" post="705933" timestamp="1258128338"] You should have seen the practice yesterday in Huntsville.  It's been years since I have seen a Vidor team so focused and business like.  I'm not saying we will win or loose, I do not make predictions, but this will be a great game.  Another game like the Central game, could come down to a few OT's. [/quote]I really wish that we could've done that in 2007 when I was a senior on that team. We just didn't have the experience we have now.

[/quote][b]2 straight region championships don't mean squat[/b]. Anything can happen on any given night. I am from Vidor and I hate to say it but Dayton might just have the better chance but Vidor is also improving and I know that coach Matthews is working them hard for this game and I hope that they bring it to dayton and knock them on their butts. I am not predicting anything but I just hope that Vidor comes on top. [/quote] Our playoff runs mean a heck of a lot to us. For one thing.... it means most of the seniors on this team have played in 11 playoff games. And the rest have played or been on the sidelines for at least 6. You can't convince me that all the experience doesn't help. It doesn't make us win the game before we step on the field, but mentally it's an edge.... like it or not. [/quote]I am not meaning anything bad by you having that. That is a great accomplishment and it is a confidence booster. All I am saying is that just because you have 3 district championships does not mean an automatic win for anybody. I'm not just talking about just Dayton. I am talking about all teams in general.

[/quote]Vidor has lost to Central by a total of 8 points in the past 3 years, and they are a very good and very fast team. [/quote] yes... that was what I was getting at. [/quote]I know thats what you were saying. I just wanted to throw my 2 cents into it. ;D

[/quote]Thats really funny. I am not making any excuses for losing that game at all. Dayton was the way better team that year. I also felt that at the time that we had those first year guys, we had alot of issues and I felt that there were times that they didn't go to play. They just didn't care. That was just what I felt.

They've proved that they cannot pass the ball. Also, Vidor has a hard time defending the pass. Dayton wins BIG. [/quote] I dont know if you have seen any of our games or not, but Vidor can and does pass the ball. [/quote] I have seen Vidor play. All but 1 district game. The passing game isnt there. They try to pass and arent successful. The only pass that ever gets completed is a dump off pass to the halfback. And that doesnt always get completed. Besides that, the ball never gets completed or its a sack most of the time. [/quote]I haven't seen Vidor Play but I have seen highlights and yes Vidor does pas and passes pretty well. One one game, James Laramore caught a one handed pass in a games that was for alot of yards. We have some pretty good recievers. They may not be the best but they can catch the ball.

[/quote]The thing is that in the pros, you have only 2 divisions and its NFC against NFC in the playoffs and then they play someone in the AFC, but here its 20-4A against everybody else and we just want to see our district go as far as it can go, AND WE ARE CHEERING FOR EACH OTHER TO GO ALLL THE WAY!

[quote name="football04" post="700391" timestamp="1257574483"] Anyone know who the match ups are yet ? [/quote]PNG vs BH           Central vs GCM           Crosby vs NED           Dayton vs Vidor

[quote name="babyshoe" post="700677" timestamp="1257609738"] PNG wins Central wins big Nederland wins close Vidor loses close 3-1 for 20-4A [/quote]I will honestly admit that the last time that Vidor played Dayton, we got smoked 48-0. I know because I was playing for Vidor at that time and we were a very new team at that time. We are a different team now and I hope that Vidor pulls it out. I know that they can.

[quote name="KHS 89" post="700398" timestamp="1257574665"] Good luck to both teams. [/quote]I am going to say that PN-G has this one in the bags. Wether the score be close or a blow out, the ndns will win!! and rep 20-4A the way it is supposed to.

Man, when I read this quote, I just about cried. I graduated from VHS in 08' and I played Varsity and we did not do good that year. We only won one district game that year and even though that was the only one that we won, we were still celebrating like we had the perfect season. I wish that I could be apart of that group of pirates. I only played with Pittman and peavey and Tate and all of those guys for one year and that was when we were a very new team. I am so happy for those guys that I played with and it is awesome to see how much more of a team that they developed into now. I wish hope that they have a great and deep drive into the playoffs and show everybody who the pirates are and that we are for real!! GO PIRATES!!!

I am hoping for Nederland to take it to rep. 20-4A!
