[quote name="purpleeagle" post="1240328" timestamp="1343416666"] you have to look at the other teams in the state that are usually strong and see what they have lost. a lot of the normally strong teams have lost a lot of good players. Newton's line will be sophmores, the line will be better and as the year goes on they will get even stronger. The skill players are back, the defense will be stronger. 2a ball depends on a little luck with injuries because they do not have the dept of larger class teams. when u have winning programs such as Newton, WO-S, etc.. then a lot of the teams or people like Bunaboy become jealous. I can sure understand why Bunaboy is upset, looking back on the scores of the playoff games Newton had with them. [b]A couple of years in the 3A district you will be disliking WO-S also.[/b] [/quote]ouch!

[quote name="eknights88" post="1240303" timestamp="1343408224"] Titans had respect last year, from coaches to players. I believe what most question is was it a one year wonder (due to the 13 seniors going on to the next level). Like sfa85 says a 4th place finish is more than likely whats to be expected next year, and that's not good enough to get respect. Simply to much talent not to be making runs like that almost every year. Quit the no one will play us bullzhit, there are plenty of teams mem has declined to play as well. Bottom line quite begging for respect just keep earing it. Now 13 next levels players helps, but but what happens when u dont have (2 Baylor, 1 ark, and 1 ok st )??? [/quote]you mean 2 hit wonder? they went deep the year before.

The truth about it is guys like you get on here and bash other schools, namely Vidor because it makes you somehow feel better about yourself. You cant stand Vidor getting a little credit, so what do you do?... you bash them.

SOME of you all (and you ALL know who you are) just do NOT want see PAM succeed. You would rather say "PAM went 13-2 last season BUT oh don't u remember when there was that fight/mugging after the WB game?" The hatred of the city of Port Arthur and PAM is ever evident in 75% of you're posts (even some Admins/Moderators) fail to mention or even KNOW that PAM was was STACKED with JUNIORS last season. Most (even Mods/Admins) don't know that the PAM Secondary that got them DEEP into the P.O.'s are ALL back this season, and only one of them were starters in the beginning of the season.so with that being said....keep waiting for PAM to fail  and you're going to be in for a VERY long 2012 season.....THAT IS ALL!!!

[/b] [/quote] BG I've also noticed how when a true PAM fan backs up a statement with facts and stats they get get on "HUSH-MOUTH" and keep it moving. [/quote]I've noticed that alot.  ;) [/quote] Well here are some facts.  Pretty much everything that is said by Ghost I pretty much agreed with and noted in the preview.  They were young on defense and have 7 starters by Coach Harrison's count coming back. Then I read this: "Most (even Mods/Admins) don't know that the PAM Secondary that got them DEEP into the P.O.'s are ALL back this season." The Titans got into the playoffs DESPITE the play of their secondary in the playoffs.  [b]They gave up 326 yards and 4 passing TDs to South Houston in their bi-district game and then another 311 yards and 3 passing TDs in their narrow area victory over Clear Springs.[/b]  Yes, they then gave up only 68 to Memorial, 54 to La Porte, who are both running teams who ran the ball in those 2 games 39 and 40 times respectively.  And against Steele they only gave up 109 passing yards, but when you run for over 400 yards, you don't need to pass too much. As to everyone from the secondary returning, I think you are forgetting about Jaylon Howard, who graduated last year.  Some folks around here think he was decent. [/quote]True, passing teams in which the DC had them (secondary) playing prevent (for reasons i will never understand) they did the same thing in the Channelview game.

[/quote]Thats only 2 people Brenhamfan. Not talking duo, im talking total secondary. people forget we lost 2 starters that are back this year. we have 3 DBs that are for sure going D1 after this year. I believe the other 2 are only 11th graders. as for scheduling Brenham i didnt hear that, but i did hear we got in touch with Cy-Falls and i do believe another Cypress school (maybe cy-fair?) and that fell thru. kinda hard to schedule tougher competition when they say no to you, just saying. As far as shutdown corners i'd put Tony Brown of Ozen up there as the best in 4A, i dont see anybody throwing to his side alot unless its Memorial doing it (as we did last year).
