I second this. Really enjoyed the game. Hoping since Nederland got the 100th edition at home, PN-G will get the 100th anniversary game at home in 2025 so we can return the favor.

The two bands played God Bless America in honor of 9-11-2001. It was amazing What an honor of seeing two bands with 200 years of experience playing that song together was something I'll NEVER forget. Again Nederland thanks for doing the 100th right. 

Thank you Nederland for hosting such a classy 100th meeting. I thought you guys did a great job. It was a huge responsibility. You nailed it. The two bands playing together was amazing. 

One drive we had a penalty, on the other two dropped touchdown passes. The main reason is because we tried passing and dropped them. Good news as well Shea Adams was suited up and running warm up drills and is expected full go for the playoffs.
 

Nederland got a lot of catching up to do and not just in football. The new school should have been built in 2010 but the boomers shot it down. If I was on the Ned coaching staff I'd be worried about my job, need some fresh blood in there. Ik LN gotta be shaking his head, but that era is over. A lot alumni my age that are older enjoyed wins in MCM for many years are seeing the program go down aren't use to it. Me and my bros went to the high school from 05-20 so we're use to more MCM wins than losses. Hopefully the new school revitalizes something, we've kicked the boomers out who we're stopping progress

We were in as of last week I believe?

The atmospheric atmosphere should be astronomical 😁 

People put on the nostalgia tinted glasses and remanece about the good old days of law breaking in the name of a rivalry then turn around and blow up facebook about how terrible kids are now lol 
"All these kids cursing and sagging these days. Back in my day we destroyed public property like proper citizens!"

several times.  thats why its enclosed now.

Yeah we don’t need to bring back the bad old days of that crap going on.  Although the pep rallies for MCM games was much better then than now!

The rivalry is much weaker now than it used to be in the aspect of pranks and such. Thats because if you pull a prank you will go straight to jail and will not pass go. My senior year we drove by Nederland and threw eggs out the window. Guess who was standing there throwing them back. The Nederland principle. It was just accepted fun. Sure some took it to far, but it was a lot of clean fun. Now you cant hurt feelings our throw and egg w/o assault charges. Please understand I do not condone hurting anyone in anyway. Just stating the obvious. I know PNG hires a security guard who stays all night at the stadium guarding it from Nederland folks and I am sure Nederland has some sort security in place. There are so many stories about this game that are just pure enjoyment and I am not even talking about the game. The incident at LCM is a good reason why this sort of thing happens. Best of luck. I am sure whomever is the best team will win. In this game usually either team can be the best no matter the record. 

Football comes in waves. The new exception is the open enrollment, and the so called magnet schools. In schools like PNG we have good times and bad times. So will every school. No one is ever gonna be good forever. We are lucky to have our track record so well documented it easy to see the ebbs and flows of PNG football. Thanks to people like Indian fan who puts so much work into preserving the history of the program. We have been to State 7 times. To some schools that's not all that great, many others would wish for that. Even just a single trip. If you look at SETX as a whole the area has been pretty successful visiting the SC game. WOS, Newton, Nederland, Dayton, Crosby, TJ, BWB, Kirbyville, PNG, BMT French, Bridge City, Jasper, BMT High, and others. 

As opposed to what? There are some on here which I will not name that said even in the last year that PNG would NEVER make it to state again. Why you ask? Because of demographics, geography, and they do not have talented enough kids. Now I am no saying I agree with them but it has been said many times on here. 

In 2016 Shelbyville had a RB named Octavian Burrell (RIP) who singlehandedly carried the Dragons to the quarterfinals were lost to Lovelady on the last play of the game 14-7. Without him they wouldn't have made the playoffs. Kid was a stick of dynamite. 

I thought about going to this game so I can keep my streak of attending at least one game at that stadium going since it opened.
But, nobody offered to pay me to go. Also, I have been told from some local coaches to expect a playoff game or two to be held there this year so I can keep my streak going that way.
Now, if someone paid me or at least bought my pregame meal at Pappadeaux's, then I might consider.
 
I got United winning 18-6.

I agree.
It really is a dumb idea.

Actually if PNG vs Nederland played at Lamar PNG would lose numbers on the home side in the seats. Not including grass seating. Lamar holds 8000 on the home and PNG holds 8500 on he home side.

Great football game here

Man the take away from this game is Bailey is a pinpoint accurate QB. This kid threw multiple 40 plus yard passes right on the money.

PNG took the entire starting team out for the second half. Literally every player accept the kicker
