The same people that say the kid would be a star at PNG or Nederland are the same ones that bash him for being a "soft" player.  We have to understand the difference between a passing pocket qb (Kadon), a run first QB that can throw (Jones), and a true duel threat QB (Johnson).  You also have a just run QB in Vidor.  Let the kids play ball and stop acting like the outcome of the games will change our lives in some way.  Kadon, Jones, Ladia, Johnson, McZeal, Riggs, Vincent will all go off to college and enjoy they're youth and this will all be a memorable chapter n their lives.  While the same people will be on the same message boards talking about how horrible this or that kid is.  Instead of keeping it classy and just talking sports.  Grown men and women.  Let's keep it respectful and about what's on the field.

The only issue I have with some is the name calling of kids.  Bambi??  Not cool.  Regardless what anybody thinks, that kid is getting a full ride to college to play football.  Something's he's earned.  Regardless if he plays the way anybody on this earth think he's supposed to be playing.  Calling a kid names on a message board is beyond weak IMO.  Coaches being criticized is part of the gig, we all get that, but when you bring name calling of players is where any father (coach or not) would draw the line. In my humble opinion.  I honestly can't stand any adult belittling a kid.  I've heard grown men down T-ball players, middle school players, and high school players and its all the same to me.  DEPLORABLE !!!

One thing you people in the Mecca of Foosball keep overlooking is PAM's DBs have been playing against 6A competition since the 9th grade.  No one on PN-G compares so go ahead and think this kids can't cover the best WR's in the country......  The world for that matter.......
 
 

Imo, it'll come down to Png's Qb play, and if he's able to have enough time to create passing or running the ball. He's dynamic doing both.  Png's secondary and wr's have to step up big for Png to have a chance.  I don't see PAM losing, even in a close game, but this will be the game of the year in the district.  Atmosphere will be electric. The outcome of the game doesn't change my life.  If I see any area kid make it to the next level, I'm happy for them. Kadon has committed and Jones has offers. Ladia kid will be in line soon after. Johnson for sure will be getting offers soon, and I'm sure he'll play qb at the next level.  Vidor qb looks a lil Tim Tebowish at times. lol  Man, the PNG_Mem game will have an electrifying atmosphere and I personally can't wait until Friday comes.

I haven't recalled a Titan fan say PAM is the greatest team.  In many people's opinions they are the best team in the district THIS YEAR.  lol  If PAM wasn't in the district, it would overwhelmingly be PNG everyone saying that about, but I don't think lil sly remarks would be made about them.   So much as to hope they lose in the playoffs so some of you can validate that the Almighty Titans (opinions being shared) aren't as good a WE think they are.  
For one year if your team is really good, despite other districts great teams, I would assume you have school pride or some people talk a little noise as some of us do.  But for grown men to get in their feelings about high school ball is ridiculous.  We teach our kids to be humble, but nothing is humble about the game when you're in the heat of battle.  If my nephew is in a game and the line is talking trash; I don't want him to be humble; I want him to be a dog on the field.  Be humble afterwards, but not to the point where you take away that fire you need to be competitive.

Your little brother is the truth.  I remember him from the PA Cowboys and the Lil Titans when he was younger.  Put it like this; what he's doing now is NO SURPRISE. lol  We're proud of him and wish him nothing but the best.  Now this Friday night...........lol

This thread is getting out of hand. This has nothing to do with football and everything to do with the history and race relations of Southeast Texas. Regardless of what you may be saying here and whether you are correct or not, this is not the forum for these topics as everyone is sensitive and has their own perspective. NO CHANGES in how things are or how you see things to be will be made on a high school football forum. These systemic issues that are being talked about should be brought up at school board meetings, city council, or other places where you can speak your opinions and allow your voice to be heard. I have a career in social services and have dedicated my life to affecting social policy. If you want to see change, please get away from your laptops and cell phones and jump on the front line with me. We need as many people of all races and perspectives to come together and help. But this, is a high-school football forum guys, the most you will get from people on here when you make these statements is a back and forth with a guy in their mid thirties. Lets enjoy our kids while they are kids on this forum. Football is such a fun topic, its crazy how we always get off topic.

Every time PAM is in a forum , enrollment numbers , transfers , poverty, gangs and drugs , "section 8 housin" seems to always get thrown to the forefront lol , very little about X's , O's

Who has a better group of Qbs and Wrs than Memorial has?  Our 4th string WAS starting for Ned.  All three qbs go to most schools in the area, they're starting, outside of PNG (he's a stud).  Qbs -  Harrison - D1 commit, true passing qb, Jones - D1 athlete, runner and Ladia - potential next level arm - true passing qb.  The two backups could have started for some 5a and many 4a schools as freshman.  Wrs - Angelle - D1 receiver, Jones again D1 athlete, Williams,  Thomas - next level size and talent.
