Congratulations Brit. from Aspen, Maci and I. Staying in Texas can't be a bad thing! ;D

If I had to guess what the coaches will pick. MVP - Green - Ozen Offensive MVP - Bertrand - PNG (16 District TDs) Defensive MVP - Carr - Nederland (best player on best defense) Coach - Neuman - Nederland QB - Miller - PNG RB - Jones - Ozen RB - Benjamin - Ned FB - Clark - Vid WR - Nelson - PNG WR - Michaels - Ozen WR - Shaw - Ned TE - Hanks - PNG OL? Nicotre - PNG and I would guess a couple from Vid, Liv and Ned.

Quirante    Vidor [/quote] Didn't impress me Friday night. They actually moved the ball better when they switched QBs. Before you Vidor folks start flippin' out, I'm not saying he is not a good player. Just saying take him off that team and Vidor is still pretty good. Green gets my vote. As Green goes so goes Ozen. [/quote] Your right. He did have a not so good game against yall. But isn't every player allowed to have a bad game? I mean passing wise your QB and receivers were held to 99 yards when yall were averaging almost 200 passing a game. And We held your offense to 282 yards when yall were averaging 395 yards a game but that doesn't mean your offense is loosing it. IMO Montana is the MVP because of what he has been doing this entire season. Playing both sides of the ball. In the top three tacklers in the Vidor defense and until this week was leading the rushing yards and passing yards in the Vidor offense. And all this while playing Middle Linebacker. Oh and might I add that this is his first year to ever play QB or offense for that matter. [/quote] Maybe, but I still say Green is more improtant to his teams success.

[quote name="mytwocents" post="1100968" timestamp="1320093538"] Do you really gotta ask me? [/quote] C'Mon Man? I said try not to be a Homer.

[quote name="cornhusker" post="1100912" timestamp="1320090940"] They were not good last year in district, why in the world did some folks think they were going to be better this time around. It wil take the coaching staff more time to get everyone on the same page. [/quote] Gotta agree with you on this one. They had the best QB/WR combo they have had in years and still couldn't make the playoffs last year. What then would make anyone think that after losing those two they would be better?

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1100965" timestamp="1320093465"] No brainer. Quirante    Vidor [/quote] Didn't impress me Friday night. They actually moved the ball better when they switched QBs.

So who is going to be. Try not to be a Homer!

[quote name="mytwocents" post="1100792" timestamp="1320085591"] Most of yall gotta remember. Jeff Mathews took a team that was 2-8 last year and basically with the same players except for a few lineman made them a 7-2 team this year. That takes skill right there. [/quote] If you have the same players, you should win. He took a bunch of returners and they finished either tied for second or in fourth place. Gotta say Neuman on this one. Nederland has a boat load of Sophomores and they should go through undefeated. Thought Neuman should have had it last season, but they gave it to Crouch at LCM, who didn't even make it to the Playoffs! I will agree that Mathews would be my second choice.

I'll go out on a limb and say....Purple and White team with a W!!!

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1100646" timestamp="1320078152"] [quote author=Cat22 link=topic=90737.msg1100630#msg1100630 date=1320077567] A friend told me he heard Tidwell on the radio say he is close to signing a 4 year home/home contract with Duke.  Has anyone else heard this? [/quote] I heard it was a 3 for 1 deal, not an even 2-2 split. [/quote] Thats fine. Wouldn't expect it any other way.

Correct and if PNG loses and Vidor loses and Ozen wins it creates a three way with PNG, Vidor and Ozen in which PNG and Vidor go due to the fact that they both beat Ozen. Ozen losses out in any three way involving PNG. They only get in with a PNG Win and a Vidor win.

[size=18pt][b]NO!!!![/b][/size] You don't have to play them the whole game (and you won't need to against LCM), but get them some reps and a healthy lead for the sake of finishing what you started strong.

If Vidor tanks the game and looses a second game in a row, then Matthews has lost it. You can not go into the playoffs on a two game skid! It will resonate into the first round... Bringing JV players up is normal just before playoffs. However I can see how this would be big news to someone from Vidor!  ;D Allright, Allright I couldn't resist. It is good practice. One reason why alot of top teams remain top teams in the state is because they get the next class extra reps for 3 to 6 weeks each year. It makes a big difference in sustaining a good program.

[quote name="skipper" post="1100511" timestamp="1320069999"] i agree with most of the posters on here the coldsprings coach barbe is is a very very good coach and i do understand where you all are comming from and i do belive thay have not lost a game and are in the top 10 teams in the state but on the other hand you might  take a look at coach thompson at wo-s he took over the  this program from coach hooks and put in a new type (O) with a almost a complet new coaching staff and with kids getting hurt all season he keep them togather somehow.his mustangs played some of the best teams around friendswood who was rated in the state at that time oh i should have put nederland in first dis champs in 4A and then came giddings who are  still rated in the top 10 in class 4A  so being a mustang fan i will cast my vote for coach thompson IMO PS SORRY FOR THE SPELLING [/quote] I think it may be more remarkable in that District that Price has gotten HF to be competitive again!

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1099836" timestamp="1319994455"] 5A  Harrison    PAM 4A  Neuman    Nederland 3A  Barbay      Coldspring 2A  Sutherland  East Chambers 1A  Jones      High Island [/quote] I'm with you on this one. Looks dead on. Not sure about 1A. Just don't see much of it.

[quote name="whsalum" post="1099671" timestamp="1319950378"] I was watching the game on TV and happened to hear that Sam Houston didn't have any recruits that came from the local clubs while Lamar was continously calling players name from Lumberton,Kelly, WB etc.This is not a knock on local clubs but it is impossible to build a successful college program when you recruit that heavily locally. [/quote] Mcneese and SFA have been winning with SETX talent for years! SHSU has 32 players from the Greater houston area. I'd say that's pretty freakin local to them. They have 5 players from Huntsville or surrounding towns. Considering the size of Huntsville, that's quite a few. SHSU may not have any current players from the GT, but the best team they had outside of this season in the past 20 years was led by a GT QB and had several other GT players on it. Besides it's year #2! What did you really expect? The fact that they are even competitive against the bottom of the conference is remarkable. Do you really expect Lamar to outrecruit the second and third tier schools for top Texas prospects in year two??? Get real.

No one said anything about poster boy scholl of Texas. Actually currently Euless Trinity, Katy and SLC are the poster boys. Just stated facts that people do recognize PNG as a brand. That makes us proud. We feel like we must be doing something right. Vidor Pirate fans should be very happy about the direction of their Athletic programs. Great strides have been made the past five years in most sports. When your athletic programs are good, your student base takes more pride in all things scholastic, which is a great thing to be a part of.

[quote name="mytwocents" post="1099796" timestamp="1319990505"] The ultimate version of self flattery. Come on Bamakid. When i was living in the FWD area I talked to a lot of people about football and when i could i mentioned high school football and more people mentioned the likes of Dayton and Vidor then they did PNG. Just stating my opinion.  [/quote] I lived in the DFW area also and when the city of Vidor was mentioned up there it had nothing to do with Sports unfortunately. Lived in Grapevine and worked in Southlake. The good folks at the old "Dragons Den" knew all about PNG football. And go to Plano and ask folks about PNG. We stayed in Plano durring Ike and when we went out wearing PNG shirts we had several people stop and talk about HS football.

[quote name="speveto" post="1099703" timestamp="1319969164"] Next year.  LCM, Central, PNG and Jasper.  Put this in your memory bank. When this becomes "FACT", I want "CREDIT".  (thanks for the info. Ricker) [/quote] Not sure about PNG. PNG has added PAM as one of our three pre-district games. I can't see us going away from the Crosby game as it appears to be a pretty good matchup. Maybe WOS will replace Tx City or if Livingston ends up in another district and we get a 4th pre-district game. PAM Crosby WOS would be great for us PNG Fans. Thats three quality opponents with speed and we wont have to travel all over the place.

Trey Green would look good in Red and White!

Congrats on what could the first of several as you guys have lots of youth on this team and a really good group of Fish!

Agreed. Just feel the need to stand up for Faircloth and Company when the BS unfactual situations are spewed on this board. If you don't no it as a truth...Don't post it. As far as Vidor Football is concerned...Good Luck. Hope you beat up on the Lions.

mytwocents go back and read the bold part again, It say late hit OB not QB. You guys probably couldnt see as well as we could, but Mathews berated that official for quite a while. Message I had was just make ur argument and move on. You get better results. Please tell me when Faircloth has ever called a Time Out up big in a gaame to score more??? Sounds like more PNG hater made up BS that you have bought into without actually finding out that it is not factual!

Glad we had an injury free game....One of the best games I have seen this season! [/quote]You can believe what you want to believe that is your right but our team and community lost a friend and a teammate last week and really still are not over that. The sign could have said real men pray, but someone probably would have said that was not right, but please stop thinking everything has to do with ya'll. I think that would not be allowed by Mathews or his wife who is the cheerleader sponsor. Maybe some some on here feel a little defensive for some reason. Hmmm  [/quote] I will admit the sign could have been worded differently, but it is what it is and if it helps any I will apologize for our community and cheerleaders and whomever else if this will be dropped.  Our kids are still mourning the loss of their brother and that is all it was meant for...again we are sorry it offended anyone and I am sure it will be reworded for next weeks game.  If anyone of you know Coach Matthews, he would not have allowed this sign to do harm to any oppossing team...he is not like that, nor is his wife who sponsors the cheerleaders. [/quote] I for one think Matthews is a class act ! He has told my boy great job on plays that he made on his sideline this year and last. Good luck Vidor ! [/quote] Thats because he's made alot of those plays the past two years against Vidor. Chase has really turned into a great player. One of the all time great PNG DB's!

The Vidor O Line has been good for several years. Dan Welch was a great O Line coach for PNG and has worked wonders for Vidor. I think it is no suprise that Vidors rise the past three years corrolates with the hiring of Welch.
