Well I will never make a prediction as many of you others will. WOS is the best program in SETX. Period. Everyone else including PNG is trying to emulate what they have done. Stangs you have my respect and I tip my cap to you as a program, to your kids who are always some of the best athletes in Texas, your coaching, and finally some of the best and most knowledgeable fans in this area. You are what we all are aspiring to be. Winners. Win or lose WOS , though a division lower than us, will 100% prepare us for district, expose all of our weaknesses, and make us better for playing you. So again I make no prediction, just knowing that this is the best thing we can do to try and tackle that hill called FBM in 2 weeks. Please be safe on your drive over to the Reservation I look forward to seeing the game. 

This is when coaching matters

👌

Cool facts about PNG for those who are interested. Please do not take his as bragging. I am only interested in sharing to those who love high school football or want something to compare their program to.  I am a proud Indian and love to talk with others.
PN-G has won 65% of its 88 playoff games. 
PN-G has won 57 playoff games.
PN-G has been  the district champions  27 times.
PN-G has been to the bi-district 34 times
PN-G has been to area  12 times.
PN-G has been to regionals 17 times
PN-G has been to the Quarter-finals 11 times.
PN-G has been to the semi-finals 9 times
PN-G has been to the state championship 7 times.
PN-G has won 3 state championships. 
Only one team in SETX has been to the State championship more time than PN-G and that is the mighty WOS Mustangs with 8 trips.
The other great team from SETX to TIE PN-G for trips to the State Championship is the mighty Newton Eagles. 
We do not have the talent of WOS or Newton. Definitely not SOC. They had over 180 scholarship offers to their team vs a minor handful to PNG. Coaching has been huge for us this season. Congrats to SOC on a magical season, Hats off to you and your program. PN-G had a magical season of their own defeating the #2 #3 and #5 teams in the state. Thank you SETX family for your support. Thank you SETXSPORTS for your support. I have received so many messages of encouragement from many of you and your support warmed my heart. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Even those who sent negative messages at least you recognized the feat of making it this far. Thanks again for making this magical season feel like we are ne big family. Far those who said due to demographics we would never again make it to state I hope you see that there can and will always be opportunities to make it with the right combination of kiddos and coaching and that demographics cant stop a team from making it. Even in this day of recruiting, building super magnet schools and putting all the best athletes on a single team with a goal of making a SC teams like a PNG, Nederland, PAM, WB, BU, Lumberton, Vidor, Dayton, Jasper, WOS, Newton, West Sabine, Shelbyville, and all the other teams that are landlocked, in a dead growth area can and in fact will make it back at some point. When they do its all the more special. No transfers, no magnets, just hometown kiddos playing their tales off. Look at Silsbee. they have been stellar and Ill say it got screwed out of a shot at the semi-finals by a bullshit non-call. I watched the Silsbee game and saw several times the refs screwed them over. Parden my language. The 2 pt. that was allowed when Cuerro was throwing off his knee really pissed me off. It wasn't as if it was something close. he was down way before the ball was thrown. I have no skin in the game as I am a PNG fan, but Silsbee was the best team and should have been playing in the next round. I hate it when refs determine a game. they should never be the deciding factor in an important game as this one was.. Great season Silsbee, Great season Lumberton. 

NRG puts AT&T to shame! The parking at AT&T is awful and the stadium doesn’t light a candle to NRG. Jerry Jones is all about the almighty dollar. He could care less about fans with families. 

PNG had a extremely great year.  Especially having a new coaching staff and also a new system to learn.  To be able to advance to the championship game was an outstanding accomplishment.  Year in and year out, it will always be difficult for high schools similar to PNG to make deep runs in playoffs much less win it all.  Competing against all the schools with open enrollment will be a steep hill to climb.  Congrats to the football players as well as all the other student activities around this team.  Coaches, continue the positive attitude you have shared with these young men.  PNG football is back and I see a lot of bright futures ahead. 

It appeared you have and do show your DFW bias, but we get it, you’re from that area. H-Town and Golden Triangle is still better, don’t care what you and the rest of Dave Campbell staff says. Remember, we’re what y’all called “crazy people”. 

Lots of returning players, plus a few more that didn't play this season. If they pick up where they left off, and keep the coaching staff, they will be a strong team. 

Port Neches next year has to mix it up because now everyone has footage of how to beat them. I just hope it is not like the season after the 1999 state championship appearance when they went 5-5

Yes they didn't but then Port Neches became very predictable with how they ran the plays. Then PN has to learn field awareness like you don't take a sack in the end zone. Then the snap over the head he should have tried to kick it instead of giving 2 points easy to them.

This was a very winnable game for PNG. IMO, PNG didn’t make the needed adjustments at halftime. I was not impressed with SOC. However, hats off to them for the win. PNG will be back next year. 

Congratulations PNG!  Great run, nothing to be ashamed of.  You made to the Championship game against a team loaded with D1 talent and you came away with respect!  I hope Joseph sticks around and you guys start making consistent deep runs and actually win another championship!

Im so proud of the team and the community for supporting them, finishing the year as one of the top 2 teams in 5A Division II is nothing to hang our heads about. How South Oak Cliff can participate in 5A athletics is beyond me, Dallas & Port Neches-Groves  are not pulling from the same pool of high school kids.
 
I remember there were some guys on here dogging our Indians for an early season scrimmage, Playing Christmas time football sure is fun!

What they should do is when shea Adams instead of making him up the middle they should have made him throw a trick play 

GREAT SEASON PNG! VERY PROUD OF YOU! YOU REPRESENTED SOUTHEAST TEXAS VERY WELL!

GREAT SEASON PNG! VERY PROUD OF YOU! YOU REPRESENTED SOUTHEAST TEXAS VERY WELL!

PNG has had a phenomenal season!!
Good job Indians.

I don't see what PN-G could have done different defensively only giving up one TD is a good accomplishment 

Png is the tougher team right now. Clearly. 

After watching 5 SOC games I really think PNG should win this game. There are certain areas of the SOC defense that can be exploited bad. PNG has the personnel to do just that. Now I'm sure the coaches have seen it I will not elaborate on it. PNG is the best team. I have been asked by multiple people on this board to give my advise on previous game and everything I have said has come true with the only difference being the total outcome of the score with Liberty Hill (PNG won bigger than I anticipated). The defense did exactly what I said and honestly the outcome could have been worse. Now SOC I do not believe they have seen the front 7 defensively or the power of the offensive line. There are a couple formations and plays the SOC cannot defend by looking at film. I am not going to expose them yet. But don't be surprised if you see a new formation in the backfield for 70%of the plays. They are not as good as advertised in 1 on 1 coverage, however they will catch you from behind.  The coaches from PNG I am sure have seen what I have and to be honest it would not surprise me to see PNG win by 2 plus scores.   

Game day! Let’s get it. 

It's time to RIDE!
Safe travels Tribe & friends!
 
 

Game day! Im heading out in purple to support the indians 

LETS GO INDIANS! YOU. GOT. THIS!
