P.A Texas in da building

35-31 PNG
Before the season  and based on what I thought Memorial was going to develop into by this point, I would have had your score 35 - 24 but in favor of Memorial. PNG should actually have a passing game this time. This year's receiving corps is much more confident then last year. I still think my brother gets sacked  about 6 times.  Running game should be more effective than last year from the running back position with the three guys rotating in. Just worried about the defense, Memorial will have their moments to shine. Got to play sound defense. Jones has thrown an an interception in almost every game so we should have opportunities there. Hopefully coach Harrison picks up The Waterboy Playbook

Congratulations doc, they played for keeps and took it more than Memorial gave it. Good coaching, execution and determination!

Well I must say I'm shocked , but hey it is what it is , Kenny got outcoached this game and it wasn't even close , Congrats to Vidor , a few questionable calls especially the " fumble" at the goal line but that's part of football , the game was lost with the stupid onside kick that Kenny " bonehead " Harrison does with 8:41 on the clock , after 21 un answered points and all the momentum , you call a onside kick , *sighs*  Well I'm still representing to the fullest no matter what , Porter TX , here we come..

Congratulations Vidor you beat the better team by playing better football. Naw, seriously good game. No shame in losing to you guys. Turnovers and coaching cost us but you did everything to take the game!

BTW, not taking anything away from our brother Indians and Titans. It's just nice to say "district champs" for once.

Congratulations on bringing us our first district championship since 1978! Brought a tear to this old man's eye which I am gonna drown in brown water. Love you guys! Now, let's get ready for Cosby!

Congratulations to the JV Titans. 10-0 DISTRICT CHAMPIONS. Great future in Titannation. 22-5A better get ready for next year.

I wouldn't be so quick to give the coach the credit for the 2011 run. Whenever you have a surplus of talent to use it can mask your ineffiency as a coach whenever a spread offense is employed. Case in point,  Qb- Singleton 1st team all state(Baylor ) Rb- Holmes-Arkansas Wr-Seales Oklahoma State ,Wr-Leday U of DE-Romar-Oklahoma ,Lemora-Washington State, Guard-Armstead-Baylor, ELANDON ROBERTS- U of H *Currently playing for the New England Patriots, Barnes -Texas Tech are just a few off the top of my head. Its very hard to defend a spread offense with a dual threat Qb that has legit rbs and wrs at his expense. Secondly I agree with the psyche it takes to buy in to his program. West Orange doesn't have as much talent as Port Arthur but they do possess a different mindset.

Congratulations to the JV Titans. 10-0 DISTRICT CHAMPIONS. Great future in Titannation. 22-5A better get ready for next year.

You forgot the feisty one #52

They say they aren't and they say they will win, I find it comical. They act like PAM s defense cant tackle, man I wish it wasn't MCM this week or I would go watch this game just to see how bad it will be. All PAM has to do is load the box, contain the edge and make the qb cut inside the tackles, game over! Vidors Defense cant stop PAM, The only one who can stop
PAM is PAM making mistakes!

I'm just pointed out that all vidor fans are predicting a win. Ok I don't wanna hear the, but we only lost by... If it wasn't for this or that.... PAM will score fast win at the line of scrimmage and stop vidor run game. As I said before Vidor should be more concerned with PAM running not the other way around.

Vidor's offense WILL NOT move the ball successfully against Memorial defense. 

Nope...here's how the game will go.
1. Vidor has been watering its field, putting out Miracle Grow, and not cutting the grass.  The field looks like a cow pasture with grass 18 inches tall.  Coach Matthews will do anything to slow down PAM's #25.  That's a good plan.
2. Regardless of the knee high grass, PAM will spread the field and find a match up it likes on the O-line versus Vidor's D-line.  #25 will find that match up and run to daylight.  The Pirates better get 11-defenders to #25.  If he gets to the edge, it's 6-points.  I don't know how fast #25 is in the 40 yard dash, but in full pads he is plenty fast enough. PAM will throw the ball sideways.  Take a chance and load the box to stop #25.  Make PAM throw the ball.  Who knows?  Maybe the PAM WRs get lost in the knee high grass and cant' find the football?
3. Vidor will try student body right and student body left and PAM's D-line and LBs will be there.  Vidor will try the toss sweep, and PAM will be there.  Vidor will try the misdirection play with both the QB and the TB, and PAM will chase it down.  Vidor will try a pass to the TE or the RB out in the flats and PAM's DBs will not be fooled by the play action and misdirection of the Pirate QB.  I know you want to burn the clock, but 3 yards and a cloud of dust will be difficult against the size and speed of PAM's defense.  Nonetheless, the Pirates should do what they do.  Keep pounding the ball and tell the clock operator to be a tad slow on the stop button.  Keep the clock moving.
Good luck to both teams.  Play hard for 48 minutes and add up the score at the end.  No injuries.
Go Indians.  Peace.

Why? He simply rebutted with the fact that our DB's were apart of the best defense in 22-5A. They came up and made tackles against Lumberton and Lee who were both "running teams." So they'll come up and do the same against the Pirates. 

PAM gonna make that long drive over there just to disappoint those porter fans lol. Going to be interesting to see how they match up with PAM. I see PAM being 11-0 after 10:30pm Friday night.

excuses excuses excuses man you are drinking a lil too much pirate juice!

So they are at Texan Drive next week? Cool, it is a very nice stadium!
Just be sure to get all concessions before the game.  Last year, they had only 1 window open on the visitor side

You will enjoy the stadium. It is a nice place to play a high school game.

SETXsports will broadcast this Friday's 22-5A match up of Port Arthur Memorial at Vidor. Pregame at 6:45, kick off at 7pm.
We will provide a broadcast thread Friday with broadcast link. You can also listen to the game via simulcast at Sports Radio Beaumont 1450/1510 AM KIKR Beaumont.
Your's truly will be on the call.
 
note: to my Silsbee fans, there will be no broadcast this week of Silsbee at Cleveland.
 

I give respect to any football coach. That's a lot of hours spent teaching high school boys what to do. 
Last year I had to sit in the crowd for a few during North Shore at Memorial. Fans were all over Kenny. It was freaking North Shore, same team that later won state. 

Not so much of an indictment of Kadon but the type of spread o that's being implemented.  To me, he's more of a pocket passer.  So on his part of the zone, while in 6A, he handed it off to the RB's 95% of the time, yes?
So if my Oline is suspect and the zone read isn't being ran properly, at least try putting a QB back there more on the line of a Singleton or a Fisk or change your offensive approach to fit the personnel

That pay can't be based on coaching.

I would have to agree. Memorial is talented but the lack of discipline surfaces at times but the root cause is the lack of consistent correction from the authority figures. It bites us during intense moments .
