I can only think of one starter at SOC who transferred in this year...a WR from Skyline and I think Morton moved in 2.5 yrs ago....vast majority of those kids have been at SOC since their freshman year to my knowledge

They had a great crowd in Spring on Sat considering the 2 hour delay

I am surprised at least the Pt Arthur side isn't already sold out

JMO but I dont like any public school thats open enrollment, but when the charters came in and the political parties and politicians at the time wanted this system probably because it lined their pockets...but once charters etc came into being the UIL was left IMO with antiquated rules that dont apply into today's world...but thats another topic for another day... Just found it interesting how much more talk PNG-SOC had last year vs this year, even on the Dallas-centric forums....maybe folks are getting PNG-SOC fatigue....I said it on TepAndStepp I think it's a much more competitive game this year....

I am surprised this thread has been somewhat quiet...either PNG fans are worried or they know their team is laying in the weeds like 2023 ready to shock the state

See you Saturday!

I dont think it's sold out....the ticket link was going to let me purchase 2 tickets

Thur. Refugio vs Mason Fri. La Vernia vs San Antonio Davenport Sat. Barbers Hill vs Port Arthur Memorial

Negative

There's some nice areas of Oak Cliff especially near Kimball and the golf course... The area around SOC not as nice Oak Cliff is a walk in the park compared to South Dallas which is where the State Fair and Cotton Bowl is

vs North Shore QB was 12/17 120 yards 3 TDs vs Duncanville QB was 11/22 208 yards 1 TD vs Longview QB was 12/20 175 yards 1 TD The numbers are good (better than last year for sure), but its just the eye test, SOC and this QB look much more comfortable throwing it...better chemistry w/the WRs from playing 7on7 this year and it just looks like a competent passing game....now they haven't needed it in 2+ months and if PNG is able to make SOC throw maybe it looks bad....but I'm not betting on it

For my picks its me lol

Disagree... R3 winner will be favored over R4

Beaumont seems like the only reasonable neutral option.... Don't believe either Coach wanted a home & home and it's tough to convince PA to drive through BH to go to La Porte or Stallworth and call it neutral

I've been told likely Doggett Friday night...Lamar is bigger but Doggett has nicer locker rooms and actually wants to host. I dont think either home stadium would be able to host this game properly Doggett is close to halfway so to me Easy call

Barbers Hill defense having a remarkable second half...

Weiss...good at blocking punts

This freshman RB from Barbers Hill is a unit

100% but I feel like BH's depth can weather that storm much better than Weiss can...BH has several capable WRs....I dont think Weiss has a RB in the same zip code as 7...not to mention 7 is also Weiss' best defensive player

Weiss losing their stud LB (who is also their best RB) early has really hurt them....

SOC hasnt needed to throw it much this year, but they can and thats really the difference in this team vs the last two years IMO

Chase is excellent

We are kicking off right now

Teams have taken the field for warmups
