Wow! Some serious talking going on in this thread!!!  I realize football is important, but remember its just kids out there doing there best.  Whoever wins, whoever loses, it wont affect the district race for either.  it may however, make each team better prepared for district.  It will be a bruising, physical game.  Hopefully no one will get injured.  Both teams need everyone ready when they start there district games.  having said all that, i think whoever wins it will be by 10 or less points. Good luck to both schools.

Who is #9 for PNG?  he looks small but he is a shifty little runner.

Unneccessary roughness and pass interference penalties hurt them. [/quote] marshman are you at the game? [/quote] Yes

Also surprised the chain gang isn't putting more pressure on PNG qb.  They gotten some but not much.

WO-S at PNG

[/quote] The latter.  Simply, no jobs.  Throughout Orange's growth and into the early '80s Orange has a couple of large ship building companies, Levingston and American Bridge which employed thousands.  By the end of 1985, I believe the two companies combined had a payroll of less than 200/  Combine this with the fact that plants along "Chemical Row" have been reducing staff, usually through attrition, Orange is not the best place to find a job. [/quote] That's the absolute truth!! I been looking for a job for nearly a year with no luck.  Finally decided to go to LIT full time for Instrumentation. Thanks for bringing back some great memories of other great games!

Not considering myself an "old timer", but who all on here rememembers some of the old WOS-PNG battles?  For some reason 2 game come to my mind right away.  (1) Final game of the 79 season, the Indians come visiting at then Mustang Stadium, winner will take the 22-5a district title.  had a standing room only crowd there. Game was a nail biter. Think WOS won something like 26 to 21.  PNG had the ball for the final drive and drove it down to about the WOS 20. Last 2 plays of the game were passes into the end zone which had one of them connected would have won the game for PNG. Both passes were defended and WOS walked away with there 1st ever district crown. (2) Believe it was 86 or 87 again in Mustang Stadium, another nail biter, this one low scoring.  WOS finally pulled a little bit away in the 4th qtr and won something like 14-3. I'm sure there are plenty others, just these 2 are what stays in my memory.  Post up any that stick out on yours.

He was correct about them playing from 01-03, but he was not correct about the score. It was def 21-20 in favor of WO-S. That was the game that PNG tied just before halftime and instead of pouch kicking, decided to kick it deep and Kerry Franks Jr returned it 90 something yards for a TD. The 14-13 game was in 92 or 93. WO-S scored at the end of the game and went for 2 and didn't make it. I was home on leave from the service and was at that 92 game. Also the last time I saw Wos and Png play. Man that sure doesn't seem like 20 years ago!!!  I'll be there this friday though. Wasn't that the year Wos had to forfeit about 6 or 7 games?

Mustangs passing game does need some work.  Thought LCM made some defensive adjustments at halftime and held WOS offense to no points in 2nd half.  Only points came from defense on a safety.
