Haters are gong to hate.  PNG showed up and beat the defending champs from the last 2 seasons.  SOC was really lucky they were able to stop us 4 times inside the 10.  This game could have been real bad for those recruiting champs.  Proud to be an Indian!!

Made up for the three missed calls on number two interference 

Ok refs redeemed

Ok SETX family Leaving for Dallas. I say thank you again from the bottom of my heart. I truly hope someday that each and every one of your communties get a chance to play for State. Teams like WOS, BWB, Nederland, Crosby, Dayton, Newton, San Augustine, Bridge City, and other communities that have made it to State have the chace to do it again. I make this promise if at all possible I will be there to support you. WOS please continue to lead the way. SILSBEE you are so close. Keep plugging away you will be there soon. Dayton our purple brothers and sisters its past time you returned back to the Dayton of old. Beaumont and Port Arthur you are both loaded and capable of making state. I look forward to the day it all clicks and you are there as proud communities. The one thing I have learned is it takes a lot to make it to the SC but one important factor our coaching staff has taught me is that you have to believe that you came make it to state. Another thing WOS has taught me is that to make it ti State you have to have a good defense. I wish, hope and pray that each and every SETX schools has this opportunity some day. Know that the support from our big community has been noticed by the PNG community. You all have been amazing. Thank you again. Lastly I would like to say thank you to the Nederland community. So much support from you shows the bond of playinh for 100 times. The really cool shirts you have made honors us. We welcome all of you to the game and appreciate all of your support. Win or lose we are so thankful for you all. Thanks Setxsports.com for your coverage and dedication to our kiddos in the coverage area. You are an amazing bunch. Lastly lets go Indians. 
Thank you all and God Bless. 

Pick 6 and safeties the difference in the game

Dang! Defense stats?

Watching SOC on YouTube.  The RB #21 Green is quick and elusive.  Yikes.  Not the biggest guy, but he can take a pop and bounce off tacklers.  PN-G has seen some good RBs this season, but I don't think the Indians have seen anyone with his combination of quickness, vision, and the ability to slip away from tacklers.  The SOC QB #18 reminds me of PN-G's #9...cool under pressure and making the right reads and throws.  #18 can sling it.  SOC defense is fast at all three levels, but I think PN-G's OL will be able to create some running lanes.  The game will come down to PN-G stopping the run and PN-G winning some one-on-one battles in the passing game when SOC loads the box.  Stopping the run is easier said than done.  SOC has some DUDES on the OL and #21 zips right through their lanes.  They are playing well.  Glad PN-G has a shot to play the last 5A-DII game of the year and taking a shot at the defending champs.  We've got a shot...what more can you ask for?  Should be a good game.  Tip of the cap to SOC coaching staff...they lost 11 scholarship kids from last season and they are back at the top, in the state championship.  Impressive.
P.S.  One more thing.  No turnovers this year.  The Indians need to hold on to the ball.  No safeties this year.

I want to congratulate PNG on making it to state again! Making it once is tough enough but back to back seasons is special! I know yall are going to bring the whole tribe, and South Dallas is banning together. Should be a great atmosphere. Good luck and safe travels!

Staying there again this year. It is high as a giraffe arse, but it is really nice place. And you just walk over to the game and back and hit the entertainment. 

Gd game PNG Y'all have to win the next  game we on the same team now

Yeah ,  they did start connecting on a few , maybe they should start practicing just a little more in practice .    Thanks for the hospitality and sportsmanship over here and Gd Luck to y'all next week .   Go Indians ! 

Congrat's on the win Indian's! We really played sloppy throughout the game. We made a lot of mistakes that we have not been making. We had a lot of crucial penalties that we can't make next week. Mr. Bailey was on his game tonight. This kid has a lot of poise and knows where to go with the ball. There isn't very many sophomores that can do it like this kid. He has a lot of help and these coach's have the right play called most of the time. The score does not indicate how this game really went. I sure hope PNG can keep the HC,OC, and DC because after 2 straight state appearances their stock will be pretty high. These guys may need a pay increase to keep them around! They came in here and changed the offensive and defensive culture and its paid huge dividends. Great job Indian coach's and player's! Scalp'em!

Rez Ipsa’s version of events is the factually correct one.
That aside, there are a handful of people in PN-G shirts walking around Liberty Hill today.
😎

I have no doubt LH is going to come out swinging. I think the question we need to ask ourselves re: Liberty Hill is what do they have that we aren’t seeing. I don’t see a lot in camera to make me worry, but they’re where they are for a reason. That speaks to immeasurables like character, grit, toughness, and mental discipline. They can win this game, and if we’re looking to At&T, they will.  

Whatever the outcome will be, Liberty Hill will hit PNG in the mouth so hard, their fans will feel it. And I guarantee this….no high school football player in the state of Texas is tougher or meaner than LH nose tackle Jacob Morris. That boy digs through thick rock layered soil like a prairie dog

Alright folks, forum rules prohibit bashing an individual player. The commentary about Liberty Hill's nose tackle is getting excessive.
You have to respect the heart and dedication of any kid that size who finds a way to play a position like that well. PN-G fans in particular should know that; many, many times, the Indians have overcome size and athleticism disadvantages to win games they weren't expected to win.
Let's move on to another subject.

I agree that Region 4 seems a little weaker this year (it cycles), but when Liberty Hill has some size and speed (see 2020 and 2021) they’re one of the craziest things to watch in Texas. They won me over in their loss to Crosby in 2020. 

I have nothing  but respect for LH. Even spoke with the coach the week after the game. He was a very respectable and had much sportsmanship. He wished us the best and said he hoped we won it all. I am thankful for teams like LH who have and know what sportsmanship is. Last year after the final play a LH player laid on the field upset. Two Indians ran over and helped him up and hugged him. It was a beautiful thing. I have been told on here I am not the person who can determine what sportsmanship is that its subjective. I disagree. Sportsmanship is what it is. PNG and LH both have it. So does Brenham, and Dayton. Their are others just some on the top of my head. 

I don't know of anyone from LH that walked out of the stadium last year believing the outcome would have been significantly different if Noah Long and Joe Pitchford weren't injured. PNG out played us, out coached us and the fans out spirited us.   Hell, even the band was better. 
LH has already overachieved many fan's expectations this year.  Our offensive production is down this year and our pass defense is actually worse than last year.  What this team lacks in size, elusive speed and elite talent, we make up for in heart and relentless tenacity (at times).  Many LH fans want to move away from the Slot-T but I believe this scheme is the primary reason why we consistently make deep runs into the playoffs.  
Keep an eye on the 165lb Noseguard (#44) because he is fun to watch.  That kid has a motor like no other and MAY get home a couple times if the O-line gets caught sleepin'.  
Good luck PNG fans!  I hope the game is competitive, injury free and everyone leaves it all out there on the field.  Regardless of the outcome, I'll be in Arlington next week watching a full day of football with my son who will hopefully be playing in this game next year!

Not in the long run - But it highlights how bad the officiating was, not just on that drive, but perhaps throughout the game. The refs made a lot of calls against Huntsville too, and it made me think the refs were trying way too hard to make the game about them. They were inconsistent. 

That side was where all the penalties kept popping up for that drive.
