Congratulations to PNG  on a convincing win.  I can see an undefeated regular season as a probable outcome, but in rivalry games, (Nederland)  a lot of times the contests are a tossup regardless of records. (See Texas/OU last week). As a Pirate and Longhorn fan, I will be glad to see Roschon depart the Reservation and begin his college career on the 40 Acres, it's just a shame he has to wait til after next year. (Lol)

That's something we can join together on. Go Stros. I have nothing but respect for the Pirates. Coach Matthews is a dying breed of coach. I have a great respect for him and what Vidor's teams have come to represent. Vidor is a town that has a history and Coach Matthews has rid any semblance of that from the school and program and helps raise some great kids by teaching them the way things should be and not what this towns history would try and suggest. Hats off to coach Matthews and his wonderful leadership of young men. 

Vidor homecoming halftime is the best anywhere in texas 

Very classy post. A hard fought game and a hard earned win.  Good luck to the Raiders.

40-21. Score will seem like a blowout but this was a hard fought game on both sides. Y’all got another good team this year. Love what Matthews is doing with the program! Good luck the rest of the way

6:53 left in the game. Vidor up 33-14
in a game like this coming into the 4th quarter where both teams are in a position to win, it all comes down to who can play mistake free. Tonight it was Vidor. Congrats guys, always fun watching yalls offense. 

Vidor and Nederland defenses are both very good.  Very evenly matched game, Ned just made a few more plays.  That was some hard hitting football.  Good luck to Vidor the rest of the way.  They will be tough to beat

Good effort in brutal heat by both teams.  #3 Simmons is a hard runner and Ned QB1 can make most throws.  Pirates and 'Dogs are fairly evenly matched IMO.  Congrats on the win Bulldogs and for the Pirates, regroup and on to Lumberton.

I predicted what Vidor would do and they did it. Run hard all game for a couple TDs and throw a surprise pass or two and one for a score. You heard it here first, a loss to PNG and a win over memorial for Vidor. 

A perfect example of this is Silsbee.. they barely lost to Carthage by only 4 points. With a 1st round exit several people on here, even more in the community, were ready to sacrifice coach smith. But now Carthage will be playing next week for the championship! Playoffs are about matchups, if Silsbee would have avoided Carthage in the first round they could have made a deep run.. 

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up A little reading from the Navarro side of the game. Thanks again from Tim Riggins for the assist.

San Antonio Express newspaper has an account of the game with some of the Navarro coach's statements. Quite complimentary of the Mustangs.

Well, he's got the Memorial game and at least one round in the playoffs to add to it.  

Haylon Leckelt  sets new rushing record for the Pirates.

I always pull for the Pirates, except for this week. You guys made my night against Nederland! Keep on, keepin on! Vidor deserves to be in the playoffs for sure. However, I NEVER go against my Indians. This will be an awesome game! Prayers for the players for an injury free game and traveling mercies for the Pirate fans. See you at The REZ!

Much respect for Vidor and very PROUD of them this year! But, I think PNG will take this one. Gonna be a good game!

Big congrats Vidor looking forward to a great highschool football game next week this is what HS Football is all about games like this one.

This game will be a lot closer than 42-10, probably a one or two score difference either way.  I believe Lumberton is better than a lot of folks on this board give them credit for. They basically beat themselves with mistakes in the Livingston game.  

Nederland has a good football team, they should be in contention in every game left on the schedule with PAM and PNG  being the toughest games.  Win one of those two and you are likely in the playoffs IMO.

He is on the sidelines at the games, he was an assistant coach before he became principal and was QB 1 for the Pirates back in 2000.  No altercation with him.  In the first half  a VISD police officer, (Not Vidor PD), was too close to the sideline and seemed to be getting a bit too "involved" in the game.  One of the sideline officials stopped the game and instructed him to move back toward the track area and he did.   This happened near the west end zone.

I'M A VIDOR FAN THIS YEAR, TILL THE LAST GAME ANYWAY LOL... first time seeing them play. i love the passion and fire of coach matthews. when he gave nederland the thumbs up, i chuckled...i took as him saying "okay, you (words i can't say) i got you, i see how it's gonna be. the team NEVER appeared to panic and just kept playing.
