Shouldv'e given the ball to #21 again for the EP.

Sloppy game so far.

Yeah, tackle low, especially those big boys. Two tough breaks for WB so far with the kick offs.

Pop up ad in the middle of the scoreboard that I can't get rid of. Anyway, Nederland has some size; Beaumont D looks lean.

Yeah, also for the Galena Park game. Lightning must have hit 'em in Beaumont.

Yeah, so much for Texan Live, right out of the box.

TL isn't working.

That's interesting. We'll see, of course. What will be extra interesting will be the QBs play.

LP. I must have already voted in the poll, because it won't let me vote now.

Similar to last season, they appear to just pick up where last seasons' teams ended up, more or less. (At first glance, without seeing the entire rankings.) Some of them seem legit, but I think PNG's #3 ranking may be a little generous, just based on what I've heard and read about this seasons' re-build going on. We'll see.

PNG at PAM. Will be watching on here and Texan Live Thursday night.

Any word(s) on the PAM - Aldine scrimmage? If so I guess I missed it.

I think this first game is "sort of like" a 2nd scrimmage for PNG, figuratively speaking, but saying that Coach J. considers this game a scrimmage is taking it way too far. ALL first games, for all teams, regardless how many scrimmages there were, reveal things that need work, or changes that may need to be made. In PNG's scrimmages it's not uncommon for C. Joseph to run the exact same running play 5 or 6, or more, times in a row, with the same players, for whatever reason. But I'll venture to say that you won't see that happen next Friday night.

Wow!

Hard to call at this point, as far as score prediction; first game of the season, new QBs, and all that. PAM has the edge though I think. Should be a good game. Plenty of parking.

Get well soon. PNG student media (NDN Press) typically live streams their scrimmages on youtube, if you can find it.

It wouldn't be for me, not now, nor when I was 15. But, I throw no stones. Some kids do what they need to do. I don't know anything about the young man being discussed in this thread, but I wish him all the best.

This, indeed. Prayers their way for sure.

Prayers sent. How tragic and sad this is.

The last time I attended a game at EC in person the Rice Festival was going on in "downtown" Winnie, and at halftime the band marched in the dark with flashlights taped to their legs. That's all I remember. But Ima definitely attend at least 1 game this season just to see their new QB play.

PAM and PNG threads seem to sort of run together. Didn't intend to hijack this thread though; just looking forward to the first game. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

That's a long way off, but I'll try to get to the Texas City at PNG game. It's been two years since they played, and it's always been a good game. But we'll see. I live closer to the East Chambers and HF stadiums.

Per a quick search for the '25 season, it looks like the Bulldog JV and freshmen beat PNG JV and freshmen teams, and walloped Dayton. I know that's not a tell-all indicator but it's better than being the other way around. In comparison, I know that PNG's '22 and '23 Srs did very well from 8th - JV, and carried over to their Jr and Sr varsity seasons.

Wow, I seemed to think that they were Sr-laden last season. They'll have a new QB and RB, right? It'll be interesting to see how they do in pre-district.
