Rumor has it BH, Crosby, and Dayton are coming over in that district. If true, you are going to have a heck of a district.
Central, Ozen, Vidor, PNG, Ned, Crosby, BH, Dayton in the same district. Only question would be Lumberton.
 
 

I give credit to his supporting cast on the regular. Ive said multiple times that Riggs and Hughes are the best supporting WRs in 22-5a and predicted both would eclipse 10 tds. It would be impossible for him to be the entire team because he plays no defense, doesnt block, somebody has to get open and catch those balls, and there are running backs on this team as well ya know, even if they aren't used as much. No not the entire team but he is the quarterback and offenses run through qbs. The only person who said he was the entire team is being quoted above this paragraph.
After all it was Preston Riggs who also threw 2 tds and burnt Memorials corners for 2 tds as well

Not offended at all. Just being facetious about the spelling...relax.  I am definitely not an English Major myself. Just trying to set the record straight about your post. Your entitled to your own distorted opinion. Keep on Trucking! 

This is too long, so I apologize in advance. Going to make a bold, probably-not-true (but I'm sticking to it), stir-the-pot prediction: PNG (at least) 45-Vidor 14. 
This isn't at all to take something away from Vidor. I know they are going to make a game of it and this is one of their better teams in a while. 
I don't think it matters for one second that Vidor has "another Quirante". The Quirante boys are great players, but it's not like PNG hasn't played some great players before. When they had two Quirante's last year, we still won. In the years (either two or three) Vidor had Montana Quirante, Vidor won ONCE, in 2012 when PNG had one of its worst teams ever. It's got to drive the other players from Vidor nuts to hear people talk about how "We've got a Quirante" as if there aren't a bunch of other good players on the field, as if having another kid from the same gene pool as your last good star is somehow a magic spell. I understand that having a good player is huge (I'm certainly grateful to have Roschon Johnson wearing purple and white), but Roschon isn't the only player on the team and he is the first, from what I've seen, to point the finger at his supporting cast as the people who make it all possible. 
Here's where I'll sound a little disrespectful:
Vidor's offense is a garbage system.
I know everyone in Vidor talks about it like its the greatest thing ever (and they definitely catch people off guard with it -- Gave PNG all we could handle last year and pulled the upset off at PAM), but it is an intentionally self-limiting playbook, which is infuriating when you consider the great athletes in Vidor. Why not throw the ball? Don't tell me "It works for them" -- If running works so well, imagine what a competent passing game would do for them? I honestly think Coach Matthews acts like his players are stupid or something, as if he, or the players, are incapable of learning a skill that 99% of other teams learn pretty well. It's a disservice to the players to not teach them a huge portion of the game. And just because it works sometimes doesn't mean there isn't a more efficient way of doing things. An upset over PAM last year does not validate a system that usually moves too slowly and inefficiently to match pace with speedy, balanced teams, especially in the playoffs. (Imagine if Vidor had a slightly better passing game against Crosby last year). 
So on Friday, PNG is going to walk into Vidor and the Vidor players are going to run right into a buzzsaw. They'll get their points, certainly, but they won't be able to keep PNG out of the end zone.  If the starting QB has almost no experience passing, how can they simulate a passing offense in practice -- How do you simulate Preston Riggs and Preston Hughes if even your best receivers have (by the choice of the coach) almost no experience catching the ball under game pressure (at least very little experience compared to most starting receivers in Texas)? Look at the interception Vidor threw in the last play against Nederland this season. Maybe if Vidor threw more in games, they would be a little more able to throw when it matters? (Not to take anything away from Nederland for making a play, but I do blame Coach Matthews for not having his team ready to make a big pass when it mattered). My point is, Vidor's stubborn insistence on running a 1950's offense makes a difference in their ability to have success. If you compare Vidor and PNG, they have practically the same size schools, practically the same demographics, just as many athletes, etc., but look at the results over the years. Even when PNG is not that good, we beat Vidor most of the time. Results that consistent are not on the players, they are on the coaches. Given the comparable size and athleticism, you would think Vidor would win more than 4 times in the past 25 years (heck, maybe more than twice in the last decade at least?). 
I think the PNG defense will be more than up to the task of stopping Vidor. After Elijah Hines and Keitha Jones, we'll be ready for Vidor. 
Reading over this, I know this sounds cocky. I'll be the first to come on here and eat a big spoonful of crow if Vidor comes out and surprises PNG. Heck, I'll admit I underestimated Vidor if PNG wins by one point. I support ya'll in every game, for the most part (I think Vidor was the better team against Nederland). But for the sake of predictions, I'll go ahead and say it won't even be close. 
 

Relax, the only kids that have defeated a Roschon led team are Pam anD wos. We gonna keep Rollin

Good stuff

Here is the only stat that matters.
The ONLY one.
PN-G  44
PAM  36

hope both teams represent come playoff time

I have never seen coaches fall and beat on the ground after a loss like I did last night...pretty pathetic 

I like the "running for his life" posts. Running right into the endzone..lol

PNG offense is very good. Great game. PNG made more plays. Bounce back titans enjoy the win PNG.

PNG WINS!!!!!!

5A and 6A football in this area is officiated by the Houston Chapter Officials. So I doubt very seriously any of these officials were just trying to give PNG the game. Some of you people are just ignorant! So I'm not sure how it is home cooking when the officials are from out of town. 

From a fairly neutral observation, seemed like the refs made calls that both teams disliked from how this thread has gone. So they must have been consistently bad. But no one ever thinks the refs like their team.
Good game, I was keeping up with it on here and through Twitter. That first two drives of the 2nd half set the tone.
PAM will bounce back, I don't think there's another offense that explosive they'll have to deal with (Vidor will be tough but nothing like anything PAM will see come playoff time). Great comeback win for PNG. Both teams will be solid come playoffs. PNG still has to worry about defense vs top end teams and like someone else mentioned in this thread, PAM has to learn to play for four quarters.

He’s a great kid who has gotten a lot of criticism this year by PAM “fans.”  Fact of the matter is he should have been taking the snaps for the Titans since his sophomore year but contributed elsewhere, still losing valuable experience at his true position.  Hate it for him too.  Great game for the Indians.  Like to see a team with no quit in them. 

Wrong about the points but right about the win and the best offense in the area like i said. The numbers talk!

I wouldn't be so quick to put PNG and PAM above anyone in another district. I think we can safely say that PNG and PAM are good, but we haven't really played anyone yet. PAM had a close game with Nederland, and Nederland seems to be quite good (at least not measurably worse than PNG, PAM, or Vidor, and they did lay down a beating on Dayton). I think we'll know a lot more about Nederland on Saturday, for sure. I would expect PNG and PAM to beat anyone in 21-5a right now, but that is just a gut feeling. Nederland and Vidor would give Crosby all it can handle for four quarters. 

35-9 almost half. 5 seconds

Actually the person who said that isn't even from Lumberton I don't think. And there was one comment (by him) saying Lumberton should be playing 4A, another person agreed with him. Where do you see us Lumberton people crying about it? I'm curious because unless I'm blind or illiterate I don't see it....

I agree. They are caught in an unfortunate spot right on the wrong side of the border between classifications. They would fit in perfectly in 4A Division 1. I know they aren't the only ones that have to deal with this kind of thing, but it's stupid for them to have to play schools with 500-1000 kids more than them. I'm not saying Lumberton would win state in 4A, but the games would be much more interesting and the matchups would be exciting. I'm hoping the redistricting and the application of the division system to 5A will lead to Lumberton being in a district with the bigger 4As. Silsbee, LCM, Bridge City, and Lumberton belong in the same district. 

Central has a new coach, hurricane aftermath, displacement. I know all of the schools are dealing with hurricane issues (and PAM certainly is), but starting with a brand new (to Central) coach AND with that other stuff is just plain unfair. I think they will be better as the season goes on. 

Everyone needs to relax.  With all those kids have been through being displaced, not practicing, etc,, there is bound to be some rust.  Hate that I couldn't make this one tonight.  

Lumberton needs to be playing 4A

Yes. Cool 92.5
