From season long PAM hater to 3rd round driver of the band-wagon. SMH. 
Good luck Titans. 

Made it back to PA from Lufkin while ago.  Thinking about the team and the game on the way back.  PA is solid.  They made the stops when they had to and the offense scored when it really mattered.  They never quit.  They showed fight, character, the will to want to win.  Mission accomplished..this week anyhow.  On to the next one.  As long as they continue to believe and play their hearts out like tonight.  No telling what can happen.  One week at a time.  Great TEAM WIN tonight though!  Coaches, offense, defense, special teams.  The kicker had some pressured extra points. He pulled through. 

Just gotta keep advancing, it may look ugly at times but man we just gotta keep the foot on the pedal!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Port Arthur Memorial vs. Longview
Friday, Nov. 25  7pm
Abe Martin Stadium, Lufkin

Memories added after tonight. Gawddamn. Cardiac Titans. 

The reason PAM always has a punchers chance is because they have the best athletes on the field every single time they play. Will be the same against Longview. In fact, I bet there haven't been 10 or 12 games in the history of their school where they haven't had the best athletes on the field.

I have my umbrella out!!!  Lol

Bro really went up on an elevator like that. The D best feel embarrassed. 

Why didn't he keep running for the pylon!!

Heck of a season, it's always fun going back and reading the comments and predictions from way back in February. A wild season to say the least, don't think many people had Crosby finishing 4th but this district was much more competitive than many expected. Now it's time to take care of business in the playoffs. I'm hoping at least a split in bi-district play but anything better would be great. Good luck to everyone in the playoffs. This is when things really get fun!
 
 

Memorial can for sure pull it off.  If you’re a competitor and you lose a game like tonight…knowing you should’ve won.  It leaves a bitter taste and you’re gonna be ready for the next one.  No doubt….the players will be ready.  The question is..will that staff be?? 

I get what you're saying about special teams, but you're assuming PAM doesn't score on those 2 possessions anyway. The offense scored on everyone of their drives in the first half on an average of 3/4 plays and the only time they didn't was when Wilson gifted the La Porte DB with the easiest interception of his career. He could've been blind folded while juggling 6 bananas and still caught it. We must've watched two completely different games because after the first drives by both teams I never felt like La Porte would win this game. Wilson carved that La Porte secondary like a turkey on Thanksgiving day. PAM never even had to try and run due to the passing game working so well. They had a completely different game plan the 2nd half though, PAM's first possession was mainly running the ball and killing clock. I believe if they had kept going hard at the secondary the score would've looked much more lopsided.

PAM can hang 70 on this team, just need the defense to hold up acouple more times and they'll win comfortably

You're preaching to the choir, unlike you though I don't cry after every game win or lose, are they flawed? Oh yeah no doubt, I guarantee I've been to more PAM games in the last 10 years than just about anyone in this site, I don't need you to tell me their history in the playoffs the last few years, I was there to see it with my own eyes each time. 

I like PAM in this one, as long as they stay healthy and keep winning it's fine regardless if it's by 1 or 40. They haven't always looked pretty this season on offense but their Defense is legit. If they manage a couple quick scores early then I see them coasting in this one. If they let La Porte control the clock and wear the Defense down, I see it being another nail biter like the porter game.

Ah yes, I'm sure you thought this district was easier than last years also

Ah yes, I'm sure you thought this district was easier than last years also

Some folks have known but I will make it public. My time as a full time administrator/broadcaster is up. I told my wife of 33 years that when she retired from teaching that I would retire with her to the beach. She retired last May and I told her I would finish out the football and basketball seasons of this year then I would join her. (would have joined her in May but needed to stay on after the passing of our beloved admin WOSGrad). I am so ready to be a beach bum.
I have enjoyed these past 17 years here on the site. I have seen it grow from just a little message board to now be considered a valuable media outlet. It truly has been a labor of love.
First of all, I want to thank Jordan Wilson, the owner of this site, by inviting me on as a staff member and eventually an administrator. He trusted me with the help of running this site and allowed me to "do my thang" and start my broadcast career. It has truly been a blessing. Thanks
I want to thank Todd Broussard (WOSGrad) who is looking down on us from heaven. He has been my partner in crime for all these years and is the reason this site is what it is today. He was the man!! I dearly miss my old friend and I hope that he is up there saying "job well done my friend". Thanks Todd for everything you did for me and this site.
I want to thank all the staff members here. Particularly Lucas, Mack, Robert, Terry, Matthew and all of the other staff. You have helped make this the place to be as for Southeast Texas sports.  Thanks for all the support over the years.
Thanks to all the coaches that I have come to know and work with all these years. Thank you for your support and cooperation and your acceptance of me and SETXsports. I am truly grateful.
Thanks to all the members here who really are what makes this site so great. I have become friends with several here and I cherish all the times we have spent on and off this site. God Bless all of you.
I wish all and this site the very best. I will still be around some but it will be mostly from my chair on the beach with my toes in the sand holding a cold one.
Thanks again to everyone and May God Bless.

It's true, our district is horrendous and the only tough game Crosby would have is against PAM but having said that, Crosby would get bounced first round in the playoffs against the current district 10-5AD1

Most games are decided by the big uglies in the trenches. This is true in high school ball, college and in the pros. PAM lost to Crosby because their O line got their butts whipped all night and they gave sanders absolutely no time to throw down field similar to Mahomes in the superbowl last year. Barbers hill has a much better O line and they're holding their own so far which is letting Barbers Hills Qb take advantage of a horrendous Crosby secondary. Still lots of time left but Crosby won't stop those deep passes unless they put more bodies out in coverage but ofcourse that'll open up the run game so we'll see who wants it more in the 2nd half. 

After a 4th and short stop in Tiger territory, Sanders on the keeper from 30 yards out.  Xtra point blocked.
27-7 PAM mid 4th

Very sad news.  Always looked forward to his steady, fair and honest opinions on multiple topics on this board.  Never met him, but he was the type that you didn't have to formally meet, to know his character was top tier....RIP and prayers for his family

It is with a heavy heart that I have to report that Todd passed away this afternoon at 4:20pm at the Memorial Herman Hospital Houston after a battle with Covid-19.  As most of you know, Todd joined the SETx sports family in 2005 as WOSgrad. Todd's work behind the scenes putting together scores, rankings, schedules and most of the online administrator tasks for the site are one of the reasons the site is successful today. Together we have spent many hours working, prepping, laughing, and sometimes cussing and discussing. Todd was a kind, soft spoken man with a passion for all things high school sports. My heart is broken at this news and very difficult for me to talk. I had a feeling that the worst would happen and it did. Words cannot express my sadness at losing my dear friend. The coming days are going to be long and hard, and it just won't be the same without him. My wife has been in contact with his sister's family and will keep us posted on pending funeral arrangements. He leaves behind his wife Rebecca and his beloved Bassett Hound, Sadie. Todd was a heart transplant recipient and has battled to stay healthy since receiving his heart. The Broussard family will need our support and prayers in the coming days. Please continue to stay safe during this pandemic, and if you can't do it for yourself, then do it in honor of Todd. Feel free to post a kind word, thought, story, or memorial so that we can share with Rebecca and family.
