Or maybe it has more to do with the travel. Notice outside of PNG it was all DFW area or teams that had less than two hours of travel that won. And PNG came up the day before. Those kids said last year they were worn out by the time the game started from being up early and a 6 hour bus ride. This game should rotate between Alamodome, NRG and Jerry world. 

PNG won every statistical category in the game. They held a great team and 2 time defending State Champs to 167 yards. Thats why they won the game. 
Rushing 126 to 106  PNG
Passing 162 to 64 PNG
Total yards 288 to 167 PNG
Turnovers 0 to 1 PNG
Time of possession  29:02 to 18:58 PNG
First Downs 18 to 11 PNG
Sacks 4-2 PNG

Todd was more busy organizing "white outs", ordering custom jackets and shoes, and talking about breaking the attendance record than he was preparing his team for the game. That is why SOC was beaten when they took the field. Bravado and flash are all fun and games until you get punched in the mouth. And don't forget walking onto the field to start the game. Humble pie isn't easy to swallow when you relish the spotlight as much as he does. Hell, I'll bet he had his afterparties already set up like he did last year. Some of the videos from the parties he was at after last year's game made me lose a lot of respect for him as a leader of men. Pride always comes before the fall Coach Todd. There is a new Sheriff in 5ADII. 

This shows Todds ignorance in the situation. The Field Judge threw the PI flag. The guy that is from Nederland and lives in PN was the Line Judge. Oh and the PI was proven legit. 
And furthermore Todd agreed to the crew. Done. Finished. Take some accountability for your team being out coached. Apologize to those kids for your lack of preparation.  Can’t tackle the guy one on one yet #21 Green caught Zero passes. Thats on the Legendary Todd. 

Nothing in football or life is guaranteed.
That being said, I think PN-G has the best chance to go to state of any team that will or may be in 5ADII Region 3 during the 2024 season.
History repeating itself has been a running theme for the Indians the last two seasons. I might point out that, with the exception of 1999, whenever the Indians have gone to state, they’ve made multiple trips over a short period of time.
In particular, this season saw the Indians’ second consecutive title game appearance. The only other time in PN-G history the Indians have made consecutive championship appearances, they went to three title games in a row.
All that’s to say, I like our odds. 😎

I guess the fact they had 1 net yard of offense from the 3:30 mark in the 3rd till the end of the game had nothing to do with why they lost.  Teams like that will blame everyone else before holding themselves accountable 

SOC cheats everyday!! Total joke!!!! Recruits the whole Dallas Area! And still got beat by PNG! They will have 20 plus players of that team sign D1!! If you can’t score 50 with that you deserve to lose!
SOC is everything wrong with TXHS sports!! So glad they lost!

Katy would be good. Also, Father against son....would be awesome!

Man, those Dallas teams have a history of whining and crying about stuff like this.  Even on the basketball side.  Their feelings are hurt.  They’ll get over it.  

So it sounds like he thinks the guy who called the PI is the guy from Groves.  That simply is not the case.  Ignorance.

This won’t go anywhere. Even if the complaint wasn’t ludicrous, what is the result they think will happen? Overturn every other moment in the game and give the championship to SOC? 
 
I would very much like to see every email and other written communication exchanged between the teams, and between the teams and the ref crew, as well as all of the information that was made available to both sides. SOC is claiming a “lack of transparency,” but I think this is going to more a case of, “you tricked me by me not reading what I was supposed to read.” 
 
I AM curious how a guy with “Port Neches” in his bio ended up on the crew. It seems like something he should have recused himself from. On the other hand, if both sides agree, what harm has been done? 
 
None of this changes the fact that everyone has to deal with bad, even heart-breaking calls. All of us remember games, even in the playoffs, where a ref didn’t call a penalty - or did call a penalty - that we disagreed with. There were several such instances against PNG in this playoffs. If PNG had lost, SOC wouldn’t be complaining about the non-call on PI in the end zone (by the same guy who did the PI that later got called) that stopped a PNG touchdown. They are teaching their kids and community a horrible lesson. 

I'd think the PNG folks would have a legitimate gripe with having a Nederland grad officiating their game. Bottom line is this, that call didn't cost them the game. It was the right call and wasn't made by the official who lives in Port Neches. Todd sounds like a crybaby bringing it up. 

They’re teaching these kids at an early age, if you don’t get what you want it’s ok to cry and try to steal it.  I’m actually embarrassed for them, it’s sad.  

That parade and pep rally was nuts last night.  I pulled the defense with my truck and trailer and couldn’t believe the amount of people there.  The community support is unmatched.  

I like the defense having no name. Let the words “PNG defense” be scary enough. At the current rate, they will be. 

Dallas was sure of an all Dallas area football championship on Friday (South Oak Cliff, Duncanville and Aleado) PNG changed that).

Need to mention Oceguera, the kicker.  4 FG is a record.  Fantastic.  Would not have gotten the W without him.

Congrats, again, PNG! You played with heart-driven passion today and left everything on the field to become the 2023 5A DII State Champions!

I want to say congrats to PNG on winning the state title. I, like so many others thought that was a terrible PI call. All the replays they showed during the game showed both players going up for the ball with absolutely no interference on the play. I know we have bad calls here and there, but game changers like this are tough to get over. During the Duncanville/Galena Park game, they showed highlights from the PNG game. It showed the PI play from a field angle that showed the entire route the PNG player ran. As he entered the end zone and made his turn to the ball, the defender was holding his arm and jersey. Why this particular replay was not shown during the game is beyond me. It was definitely PI and a good call. I hope PNG fans can understand why people like me were misled.
Anyway, it made me feel better and PNG’s victory is a great one over SOC going for a 3-peat. PNG represents our district, area, and region, and we should all be very proud for them.

A true champion shows their true colors during a loss.  SOC, South Dallas, and SOC supporters have shown their self today.  Taking one play out of 4 quarters of football and blaming that on the loss.  Trying to take away what PNG accomplished today.  Let's not talk about all the no calls on the SOC secondary.  The drive prior to when it was blatant PI in the end zone and nothing was called.  When Reid Richard is running down the sideline and gets tackled before the ball even gets there, no flag.  Blaming the whole game on one call is a loser mentality and lack of accountability.  PNG was the better team today.  

Just finished watching the taped version.   Great game on all accounts.  Players coaches fans.  When I first started watching I said no way PNG can beat these guys.  Y’all hung in there.  Great calls and great plays by Nguyen and many others.  Congratulations PNG y’all won State SE Texas style.   Grit and Heart.  👍
