Three way Tie PNG, PAM, Vidor

This one is over, good game by the pirates. Hard to win when you fumble so much and lose onside kicks. I prefer them getting hit in the mouth and being humbled this week vs having it done in the playoffs.

Come on Kenny! No need for an onside kick right now.

Come on boys, no more turnovers and keep playing tough D! Our offense is on fire right now, we just need to get a stop here.

24-21 8 min 14 seconds left in the 4th

These freaking turnovers man!

Come on boys, show some heart.

still 3rd quarter with about 5 min left

Yeah it was Kary Vincent

They did stop them but it was a legit facemask, if they would've recovered that onside kick I would've had a heart attack. They should expect a couple more onside kicks.

PAM has to come out firing at the half or we will most likely lose. They need to stop being fooled by these freaking onside kicks! It blows my mind that these guys weren't expecting them to try it on several occasions. Coaching, coaching, coaching!

I'm just joking about the ref stuff lol but I do believe it was a touchdown.

I think he is referring to the people listening to the game, they may have to refresh the page

I don't know you tell me, they're on your payroll not mine lol

Lol, I see you're the one that paid that ref.

That was a touchdown

Lol, don't worry the game is far from over, once the pirates aren't gifted fumbles and onside kicks the real game will start. Just remember how the PNG game went when everyone thought Vidor had it in the bag.

Still 0-0

I guess you'll just have to see for yourself here in a bit.

I like the optimism but it isn't going to happen, sorry. I like the pirates and they are having a great year but the outcome of this one is pretty obvious.

Pretty easy to see why enrollment numbers are not very high honestly. Our drop out rate is extremely high unfortunately, 9th graders make up close to 700 students but by the time they become seniors, that number can end up in the low 400's or so. Plus we have 3 other schools (private/religious) in the city so they take away a few of our students. Not to mention that many people that live in Port Arthur end up using their friends or family members NED or PNG home address in order to have their kids attend those schools. I know of many kids that even go to Beaumont private schools such as Kelly. PAM still has over 2000 kids every year but since the requirements to be a 5a (6a now) school have been steadily increasing (2150 this year) and our enrollment numbers slowly declining, it was only a matter of time before we would drop down after barely making the cut the last 10 years.

W for PAM L for PNG It's going to be the same thing tonight regardless if we win by 1 or 100

Just one problem..... That's a pretty big IF. The way I see it, PAM and PNG will take care of business. I see a 2-2 split between the districts realistically. I can also see Vidor surprising Crosby which would be pretty hilarious, also if we have any hope of our 4th place team winning it would have to be Nederland. Central would not get it done this year.

We beat them when it mattered most in the 4th round of the playoffs that year. It felt great getting a little revenge and beating them deep in the playoffs since that was our only district loss.

About an hour and 45 minutes. Plus or minus 10 minutes or so depending on how you drive.
