This is my first time posting on this website I just never have felt the need to do so but after watching the game and reading the comments some people make it's sad. Some people are on here for the right reasons such as posting updates and giviing credit where credit is due, but 2 teams of 16, 17, and 18 year olds played their hearts out and grown "adults" are going back and forth trash talking towns, players, and coaches. Its not about any of us. It's about the boys that played that game last night. Both teams deserved to win there's no doubt that that was one of the hardest fought football games I've ever witnessed and for anyone to downgrade either team for any reason is ridiculous. I have the upmost respect for Nederland and their program and I wish them the best of luck. And congrats pirates on the win! 

Didn't realize there were multiple poets on this board.  Lol!

This game is going like a 6A team is playing a 4A team!

This game was not one for a heart patient to be at.   Dare I say it had all the ingredients of a "rivalry" game?   Sold out stadium, SRO crowd,  enthusiastic fans, lots to boo and cheer and even overtime.  I know it's not a rivalry but I'll take whatever it is!

I refrain from making predictions, but I view this game as a toss-up.  Lumberton under Coach Babin has been revived and has beaten the Pirates the past two years.  On the other hand, Vidor's defense has improved and with Quirante at QB, the offense has too.  Vidor must clean up the penalties and can't have a let down that takes away from focusing on the Raiders.  I expect another hard-fought game between these two teams.

Great post, both teams played hard, great crowd and atmosphere, hard fought game etc.  Time to move on to the next opponents, Memorial for the Bulldogs. Lumberton for the Pirates.  Good luck to Nederland the rest of the way.

That is really cool, you're showing off your literary skills there!

Man I woke up chunking V's!

Black and Gold was the toast of the night, but who would win in this physical fight
Many times in the past Vidor has taken the lead, late in the 4th the defense they'd need.
Nederland with history on their side would snuff out the hopes and send Vidor on a long ride.
On this warm night at the Bulldogs home field The tension for Vidor began to build.
Late in the 4th Nederlands kicker was there a made field goal would only add to their despair. 
As the kick flew out there was change in the air the kick missed wide to Nederlands despair.
This battle royal ended 21 all To overtime we go to see who would fall.
 With Vidors defense set with its look 3 plays later letting  Nederland off the hook.
The crowds were wild as Vidor readied their O a touchdown a must or this chance they would blow.
1st, 2nd, and 3rd didnt go so well but on fourth they did not fail
A new set of downs was all that they cared Vidor was tough they were not scared.
Three more plays and another fourth did appear what would they do what crowd would cheer. 
The play came out another run thought most but a pass from Vidor shocked their host.
With six points on the board thoughts did apear In Jeff Matthews head he showed no fear. 
Coach Matthews decided this is no place for the weak. The Vidor crowd was yelling lets end this streak.
Out of the blue there came an I. The Nederland defense wasnt ready for the surprise.
The ball was snapped and 2 points was made On this night history was weighed.
As per usual Black and Gold would win, but on this night it was Vidor who would grin.
Friday night football is an awesome sight, this is why they come they play they fight.
Nederland should leave heads held high Vidor was better for this one night.
 
Congrats Vidor Pirates great win for you guys. Great game Bulldogs played all the way to the end as usual.

Sportsfan, I didn't say they were so bad and if you know so much, you should be able to tell the same thing. I think we will match up with png way better than y'all. Memorial is a whole different animal. I'm not a sore loser. I already congratulated vidor with no strings. Maybe some on here should act like they have been here before. Y'all win the game last night and it was legit. No matter penalties, injuries, or turnovers, Vidor win. Congrats once again. 

As i see it...
Porter, Crosby, Barbers Hill, New Caney, Splendora, Dayton, Humble seem to be in a deadlock. 
 
NC/Crosby/Porter/BH seems to be the favorites for the 4 spots but Dayton, Humble and Splendora cannot be counted out. Porter could have had an aberration versus Crosby but the trucked KWP this week. 
Honestly I'm not even saying my cougars will win district hell i could see us finishing 3rd if we don't take care of New Caney, and Dayton will always play us tough. Porter will be 6a in the next realignment, New Caney might also be. This is a good district this year. 

With all kidding aside, I have much respect for the Nederland football program and there head coach. Any team will tell you playing in bulldog stadium is tough. I've watched many of games played by these two teams, and  some have been very lopsided in Nederland favor and here recently have been nail bitters. Tonight I choose to listen to it on the radio, and I'm telling you I can't imagine what it was like at the stadium. It was an emotional game just listening to it. Both teams gave all they had and left it on the field. Nederland will bounce back, they always have. My pirates just need to take one at a time and it doesn't get any easier. This is TEXAS high school football anything can happen on Friday nights.  

Why is it.so hard to find posts like this after such a great game?

When one enemy destroys another!!! Drinking my beer and relaxing in the lawn chair in the night breeze! Awesome day!!!!

great hard fought game by 2 pretty evenly matched teams & the stats show it. get past all the negative talk & hate by adults at high school kids & give the players the positive respect they all deserve for giving it all they had the whole game. congrats to vidor damn good team with a lot of fight & heart  & the same to Nederland. My name is Mike Hiltz & my son is #15 for Nederland & we have nothing but respect for vidor. good luck to you guys & much success rest of year.

Why don't you just do what most good posters do once they've lost, congratulate the other team and get off the thread. Jus' sayin'.

Way too many.  TD called back, run down to the 3 yard line called back, long interception return called back. Also at one point in the fourth quarter there was a call on the defense on every play.
