Port Arthur Memorial (8-1, 6-1) at Kingwood Park (7-2, 6-1) | District 8-5A Division I 7 p.m. at Turner Stadium Both of these teams have already clinched playoff berths out of District 8-5A Division I, but a district championship and No. 1 seed still need claiming. The winner of this game will take both. Kingwood Park has not won a district title since 2011 when it shared the crown with Summer Creek and Willis. The Panthers have already accomplished plenty this season, busting a two-year playoff drought and tying the program record for most wins in a single season. Port Arthur Memorial, meanwhile, is aiming for its third straight district title. The Titans have the No. 1-ranked offense (410.8 yards per game) and defense (249.4) in the district this season. The defense has been creating turnovers at a high clip with 17 interceptions and six fumble recoveries. Kingwood Park will need to take care of the ball, which quarterback Patrick Overmyer has done a great job with this year.

Game time has been moved back from 7pm to a 6pm kickoff Friday night.

Interesting the high confidence from BH vball fans for Nederland vball vs. a powerful F-wood team, thanks SS & KP. Unfortunately the lady Mustangs were to strong for the lady dawgs to handle, no excuses they were just better. Congrats to F-wood they will be a tough team to beat, Congrats to Nederland on a good season, Congrats to Baytown Sterling on advancing & good luck to BH thru-out the playoffs. A good thing to see this support of fellow district mates instead of sarcasm or negativity like BH has experienced for years from some setx posters. 😎

That is what can be called “Elite Recruiting Skills” by Mr. Peavy 😎

Hardin & Chester have solid teams both have the potential to make nice playoff runs. BH, if they are healthy & no starters are out got a good chance to make it to 4th rd. to face Lake Belton or Brenham.

If you don't care about the game then why are you still talking about it to me? Challenging people? Once again I made a simple post giving Nederland vball positive credit for beating BH & was told to "cool my jets" but I am challenging people? Come on man. Why do I need to check on Dogpride & 77, did they break the forum rules?

Nederland won the game with a full strength team, BH lost the game missing 3 starters. It's over. Don't Worry Be Happy. Final District Records BH- 13-1 Nederland- 11-3 Quite a few teams have shots fired at them on a weekly basis for years not just BH. See any Nederland Football topic, they even have so called life long die hard fans posting negatively of players talent & coaching staffs abilities to do their job win or lose. All anonymously, of course. But then get offended if you give the slightest positive remark about Nederland football.🙃

Long over due

Those are not my posts you are quoting. Quote whoever posted those comments & discuss at length with them over the reasons BH lost the game. I know why the game was won & lost. My posts simply gave credit to Ned players\coaches for the win over a quality BH program\coach nothing more, nothing less. I can go back & edit my original post & add 3 starters for BH were out ill, the game was meaningless for BH & BH coach was using rotations that were destined for failure is the only reason Nederland won if you like? The only factual details that matter at the end of the day about this game is the Nederland team on the floor that night won over the team BH put on the floor that night. I have given BH vball, softball, basketball etc. credit numerous times for their success on setxsports, not sure what benefit of the doubt you asking for?

All this over a simple post giving Nederland players & coaches congrats on winning a district game vs. a very good team which I include their subs because these girls are good also imo. BH was on a roll & going for an undefeated district season. Beating them was a solid accomplishment & hopefully a momentum builder for the Nederland. Vball program . No negativity towards BH was said or intended, not sure why some BH posters need to make it big issue & just not take it as a loss instead of basically blaming the 3 girls subbing & the coaches not having time to prepare for this type of issue. As far as baseball goes been in those situations a few times & when we lost did not blame the the subs or not having time to prepare all my players for the game. Win as a team lose as a team. It’s all good, BH is still a great vball program & will continue to win a lot of games for a long time. Nederland just trying to work to get close to that level & a win over BH helps. Like I said before I am positive the BH coaches are not blaming the loss on subs or making any other excuse. I saw their intensity & passion coaching the games & it did not look like it was meaningless to them or BH players.

Wild game. Good win Crosby & came thru for me on my pick'ems this week

Congrats to Mr. Ward & the Raiders, got a solid win on the field & in my pick'ems😎. Peevey & staff having some struggles this year, it happens to the best of coaches sometimes. Main goal now is get into the playoffs, re-focus & make a run.

Same here 😖

It's all good Mr. Powers, no reason to be bitter or even acknowledge Nederland's banner hanging parents for a meaningless district win over BH's backups. But a win & positive momentum from an undefeated district championship would have been nice going into the playoffs.....

I agree, nice post.👍

I agree. Mr. Nelson is a smart football guy would be good coach for any position he is needed.

Not understanding this explaining & excuses from BH fans over a post giving Nederland team & coaches positive credit on a win over #1 BH? Not arguing anything or with anyone? BH is a top Houston area program that is hard to beat, with quality depth every year. Maybe you believe BH backups are not that good, but imo they are solid players with great skills capable of beating good teams. The only facts that matter in the books is #3 seed Nederland beat #1 seed & #1 state ranked 5A BH last night in a vball match. I hope the BH starters that were sick get well & the BH team takes things serious since it won't be meaningless in the playoffs. Like I said before Best Wishes to a great BH team on a successful playoff run & possible state title. Mike Hiltz

Needs to be

Linebacker coach

No jets too cool, just gave Nederland team credit for getting a solid upset win over the top team in 5A. No disrespect to BH was stated at all, still one of the top vball programs in the state. Injuries & playing different lineups because of it are part of every teams season, so if you want to use it as excuses to down play the Nederland ladies beating BH & blame the loss with your opinion on the BH ladies in the lineup cool. I am positive the BH coaches will not. Wish BH & Nederland a good playoff run. Mike "The Jet" Hiltz😎
