Key players:
Def. McMillan - Literally dominated the 1st half (3 sacks) and was benched the 2nd half.  Bonehead penalties.
Off. Ladia - Made some big time throws.  Very impressive for first time starter.  D1 arm talent for sure. 3 TDs to 3 dif wrs/No Ints ( can't argue with that)
Def. May - Played very well.  Their's a reason he has the offers.
Off. Chaney - Hard nosed running, and a tough young back.
Def. Hopkins - Hands down the most talented player on the field.
Off Line - No sacks allowed are always a good thing.
Def. J Washington - Showed why he has a D1 offer. Ball hawk.
WR core - Missed a few point blank passes, but made some difficult catches.  3 different wrs with TD passes.  
Linebackers are tough, they made some big time hits.  Crook and Thomas.
The Titans look like the real deal!!!

Oh and if Hopkins was 4 inches taller he would be the second coming of Kerry Vincent 

Game should/could have been 60+to 3. Toooooo many penalties.  Defense was dominant but had tooo many penalties.  Almost embarrassing with that talent.  Offense comes a little slower than defense, so if this is considered slow, I cant wait to see how they look when they get it together.  Ladia had some awesome throws, I mean awesome throws and some dropped balls, and a few missed passes. Overall really good for a first time starter along with the young running back that runs that hard. (WOW)  He will have an awesome career.  He'll be the next great PA runner.  Looks to be a complete team, just make those adjustments and theyll go far.

Off the field I agree.
On the field, when they got things clicking, they really looked good.  Effortless passing and with the evolution of that young running back, the O is gonna put some numbers up.  Of course, the D did what they do.

They will be good this year and I'm sorry to see their QB go down, but the back up has a much better arm and a pocket presence that looks like he's a starter. In my opinion they would benefit more with the back up taking the starting spot and the starter now moving positions, cause he is an athlete for sure. But With the back up on the side line, it's a waste of a player that could add another level to your offense. Poor player management by the coaches. 

PAM looked fine. Lol. New head coach, offensive scheme, defense scheme, new qb and rb and the score was 24-7 with missed opportunities for more touchdowns.

All 4 are on defense.  I project at least 3 more defensive players as well as 3 or 4 offensive players will get offers before everything's said and done.

I think PAM will do very well.  Morgan had a little grin on his face when asked about the offense.  They'll be much better than people outside of PA expect.  We know the D will be dominant, but word is the passing game will be electric and Hopkins could be dynamic in the run game.  I think Morgan had that grin for a reason.

Thanks to Roschon Johnson 

That's typical.  Lol I'm pretty sure no one in PA is surprised.

The kid is what they call a "gamer".  You cant teach that.  He's special. His competitive spirit is on another level.

Lol.  This post actually gave me a good laugh.

Port Arthur already knows about him.  A lot a people have been patiently waiting.  I know old Buddy Garrity is a supporter.  

I'm just going to put a name out there for you all to remember. Kam Ladia from PA Memorial.  I've seen some video from spring ball.  Quick release, very strong arm, accurate, and the ball zips from his hand.  Not saying he's better than this or that kid, but he's definitely a kid to keep  on your radar.

IF the man never moved from Humble to PA, he never intended to stay at PA. Simple as that.

Going to be interesting to watch the Titans under new leadership

I think Morgan's youth, coaching experience, having no ties to players or their families, and the respect of the players got him the job.  I think coach Vincent should have gotten the job, but that's just my opinion.  That doesn' mean I don't think Morgan doesn't deserve the job.  I think he will do a great job.  Race really shouldn't be brought up in this discussion.  The players respect him and the board that voted for him was black.  Disagreeing with a decision is one thing, but using race when it isn't warranted is another.

I wouldn't say there's nothing to talk up,   because I can hear it in the kids voices and I see it in their eyes.
But like Coach Coleman said: What the kids have done; and are trying to do is not a Memorial expectation its a Port Arthur expectation. When Coleman came back and put Port Arthur instead of Memorial on the front of the new uniforms he laid down the gauntlet.  The kids have a new (OLD) point of reference and the desire and pride to play for PA is back. 

Like + a thousand. These kids are our future. The more that we can get educated, whether it be thru sports or academic scholarships, the better. There are thousands upon thousands of opportunities.
The senior counselor at PNG sends scholarship info thru remind 101 and text.. My phone is constantly going off with notifications daily.  You don't have to be in sports, you just have to want it.

Got a message from a good friend who is a HUGE PAM fan I sat with at the game about what was going on in this thread. Been too busy to be around the board much this year but I hate seeing this. What happened is what happened for whatever reason it happened. I have exactly zero belief it was racially motivated....probably more gamesmanship. Personally, I think Xbox was going to pull out all stops after the embarassment from 2016. This discussion should have taken place during the PAM / Vidor thread (the game we didn't show up for). Our past is our past and it should stay there, IN THE PAST. Or maybe everyone here can explain it to the black children on our team (of which the number is growing exponentially). I doubt we'll ever see PAM in a football game again unless we do it in the pre-district play. We're down to 1280 kids and I predict 4A within four years. For my part, I spent $10 to watch the Temple game on Texan Live and it was worth every penny. I do want to know where the safety help was for the cornerback with 52 seconds left in the game. Seriously? Extremely proud of how the Titans represented SETX and congratulations on a great season.
