    Indeed it was.  Memorial flipped the switch after the recovered KO fumble.  You could feel it on the first drive.  They only managed a FG, but you knew there were about to start cookin’.. It was on after the fumble..

    Just because you won the first half doesn’t mean anything.  It simply means you came out swinging more than the opponent.  It’s not how you start…it’s how you finish.   Not saying it’s ok to see memorial down because they’ll come back.. Because you never want to be down…but it does mean the game is not over and THERES STILL A WHOME OTHER HALF TO BE PLAYED.

    I would pump the brakes on giving Laporte the victory right now and saying they’re the better team. There’s still a whole other half to be played, but at the same time.. Memorial’s playcalling and defensive strategy has got to step up. It ain’t over…‘til it’s over.

    I did say Nederland earned them.  I gave them credit. But let’s acknowledge the game was out of reach by then as well..

    They definitely would’ve still got the win, but would not have scored as many points.  Plus Nederland game only looks closer than it really was because of the two late TDs…all in all..PA dominated that game.  See…it has to be understood that we that speak out are not saying the team itself is bad or plays bad.  They play to the best of their ability game in game out.  We know that.  It’s just the play calling that kept Memorial from scoring more points last week.  It could be troublesome come playoff time if they divert back to the way they called last weeks game.  BUT… As I stated in the other comment…that was much improved last night.

    Credit must be given where credit is due.  Today’s play calling was a 360 from what we saw most of last game. I applaud the coaches for that. The mix up was what was needed.  Not everything worked, but the effort in all the plays was there.  You can only get better by working on it…those missed plays will pan out.   It was nice to see those boys running those routes too.  I think it open up the running game and made the defense honest by backing them up.  To think, if they keep this same mentality in play calling, how lethal can the offense be??!  We’ve always known the athletes have been there.  You know the defense is going to show up.  Special teams is looking great.  The team as a whole can be really really good.  Took the defense a little longer to show up than they should’ve today, but when they showed up they shut the lights out.  At the end they gave up those couple TDs…but in a sense.  Like I told my bro, they earned that.  EVEN THOUGH…you would like to see them finish it out strong.  Not complaining on them, but I’m sure the coaches will let them know the same.  All in all.. I give the coaches a lot of credit.  They showed that they have the potential to really take this team far.  The players are gonna ball out…they just can’t be led by the blind.  Great all around solid win.  They showed that deserve to be #5 in the state.  Keep it up PA.. It’s about damn time!!!

    I’m gave them the benefit of the doubt… They showed some significant improvement in the play calling last year.  But man…you get a whole off season and you REGRESS?!?  As a fan and supporter… Is not that we don’t appreciate the team we have.  We do..they’re great.  Just that when you know you should be seeing a way better product than the one being put on the field…it gets frustrating because the potential to be great is there.  They just can’t seem to figure it out.  …The defense is legit.  Other than that touchdown at the end of the first half, they played exceptional. The offense has the potential to be really good.  The coaching staff just has to open up the playbook.  That vanilla offense ain’t gonna do much come playoff time.  It was frustrating to watch last night.   I hope the coaches realize that they can run more than that handful of plays they ran most of the night.   You have to believe in your QB.  If you win you win if you lose you lose…at least show that you are trying and mix it up… Take chances… It would be much more respected if you go out trying.   Than to play scared and in hindsight think of all the would’ves could’ves…
    Overall.. good team win over a solid team in PNG.

    I cannot get through my head how these coaches don’t see what I see…what we all see for that matter.  You run the same damn screen and qb draw all fist half.  Do they know the definition of insane?  That’s what they are producing.   They finally made adjustments but damn man… Should not have taken that long.  YOU HAVE A WHOLE PLAYBOOK YOU PRACTICE…FREAKING USE IT MAN!!! It’s very frustrating to see the type of athletes you have on the field and you don’t take advantage of it.  Sad to say…different year..same story…coaches…when will y’all learn??? I don’t understand… Maybe I should’ve chosen coaching as a profession… I can guarantee I’ll be doing a better job than some of these.  I don’t mean to insult…but damn man…I’m basing my assumptions opinions off what you are showing me… … Bottom line…y’all can do a hellllll of a lot better than tonight

    It’s not both offenses getting what they want.  It’s memorial playing like they have no business being on the field.   The play calling is horrible.  I don’t understand what these coaches watch.  I don’t understand why they keep going to the same damn thing.  It’s like being insane…continue trying the same thing knowing the outcome…. Why keep running the same plays??????? I will NEVER UNDERSTAND WHAT FILM THESE COACHES WATCH.

    The day is here.  Titans..the moment is yours. It’s your time.. Play your hearts out, leave it all on the field, and most importantly.. Have fun..enjoy the moment.  Let the chips fall where they may and live with the results. Good luck PA!  Will be there..rain, cold, windy..all good.  I feel a good game coming.  It’ll be worth the trip.  The game time rain percentage has dropped considerably in the last few days.. It was up at lower 80s, I just checked right now and its down to 36 at game time w/9mph winds. Hopefully it’ll hold off…

    Funny how no one replied to the facts you stated about PA.  Sir with the comment, if you were talking about me.  saying LV is slow. Go back and read the statement.  You saying I SAID that LV is slow. That’s a false statement.  Comments like that start false rumors / statements.  Whatever you want to call them. You’re taking my words outta context and phrasing them as you please.  No disrespect intended.  Just don’t say what’s not being said.  As for memorial.  The athletes / football players have ALWAYS been there. As pat409 stated…the facts speak for themselves.  Can Morgan BE THE COACH? This is the week to start proving his case. Can he be the leader to show Titan nation he can propel PA to bigger things?  Not sure…it starts this week.  As a trufan… It’s about time.. Coach..for PA..break these boyz of mane.  These boyz think they invincible.  Please show them where the brake pedal at.

    I think he meant slow compared to what he's used to seeing at PAM. Many of us have been watching Port Arthur football for a very long time so forgive us for always believing we have the best athletes. At the high school level, it's true we don't quite have the hardware to back it up but there's a reason why Port Arthur alumni have been to the most superbowls out of any other school in the country.
