From the early part of the game, there were no calls on both sides.
.

Did anyone else see SOC defenders all wear purple gloves so they can blend in with our jerseys so they could get away with holding. Especially #2 with the purple sleeves.  They had light blue gloves last week against Emerson. But we're being called cheaters and have an asterisk because the refs gave us the title

Central’s basketball announcer saying “Central Medical Magnet High School” is seared into my brain from playing there 15+ years ago lol

That parade and pep rally was nuts last night.  I pulled the defense with my truck and trailer and couldn’t believe the amount of people there.  The community support is unmatched.  

Why then, did PnG get obliterated in the 3rd round in 2021 (we could barely make a tackle), bring back most of the same key players, and go straight to state the next year? And then, with a new crop of guys, we go straight back? Conventional wisdom said the Mid County schools had no hope to recreate the success of the 70s. Look at us now.
The main variable that changed was the coaching. PNG went from a team that couldn’t even sort of hang with the best, to a team that could beat the best. Coaching is the most important factor, most of the time.
 
I refuse to believe that West Orange suddenly doesn’t have good players. What - was there a chemical leak in the hospital nursery exactly sixteen years ago? Did the gene pool change? What about Hampshire Fannet? They went from bottom-dwelling nobodies to a disciplined, smart, tough, athletic unit - They just happen to have good players now?

Rooting for em to get em one tomorrow night. 

A great read from one of our young reporters Carter Yates

An understated benefit of deep runs, and one of the reasons deep runs tend to come in bunches. After this season, PnG will have a full 12 more weeks extra of practices and game experience , over the past two years, than most teams in the state. South Oak Cliff will have 18 extra (over the last 3 seasons) - That’s nearly 2 full regular seasons extra! That experience can really build if underclassmen are taking advantage. 

PNG 249 season Points allowed
SOC 256 season Points allowed

If you think they mirror each other in what they do. Look at both teams stats. You should see they season stat lines. They are almost exactly identical.

Total  YPG 377
5663 yards for season.

5603 yards for the season.

Please pray for Kendrick Harrison the defensive coordinator for Cleveland. On Thursday night November 9,2023, his sister Mikia was tragically killed in automobile accident in Livingston. 2 of her children perished as well as another family member. The surviving family member is in ICU. The whole community and San Jacinto county is praying for the family. 

Yes, but you weren't part of the visiting team that was the lamb up for slaughter for 5 road trips.  That's what your post about homecoming remind me of. Thanks for the memories????  Oh, our own homecoming was any prettier than the road trips. 
I get you though. Homecoming games suck!!

Thank yall for allowing outsiders lol. 

At the peak, we had over 1200 folks online tonight here at SETXsports. (all time record is 1850) Good start to this football season!!
Thanks everyone for making this the place to be for high school football on Friday nights in Southeast Texas.

For a change Dayton has a stable of athletes, way more than was expected.

Cody Green #7, AJ Dugat #8 and Cameron LaCour #6. Dayton's state final run. 2008. Not sure if Hudl was around back then. Can't find anything at the moment.
 
 

Bob West passed away this morning from cancer. One of the top sportswriters in the state and country.
Condolences to his family and friends.

not much success over his last Reagan*.  
 
*A Reagan is a new unit of time measurement I've invented.  I don't think I need to tell you how long a Reagan is.

Won 11. Played in 13. The two we have lost were by a single point each. In '74 we went for a 2 point conversion and the win, didn't get it. In '17 we missed two xpts. 

I wonder who this mann could be?
