PN-G taking care of business and is rolling going into the playoffs. Backups were in the game in the 1st Qtr and multiple new kids from JV in for most of the game. Coach Joseph and his program is proven and has the hardware to back it up. It's difficult to get to the state championship and he did it his first 2 years and won one of them. The coaching staff deserves a lot of credit to prepare the players and then get them to execute and make adjustments along the way when needed. All of the sub-varsity teams down to the middle schools are having success. Great job all around. A state championship is not just words or a wish. It's achievable. That's the standard that is real at PN-G.

Nederland's state championship game every year is against PN-G. And then they don't do anything after that.

I was off 11 points.

PNG destroyed Texas City 55-23 and Dayton 42-0 and had backups in the 3rd Qtr. in both games. We'll see how Nederland responds.

Every year since Coach Joseph has been at PN-G, the Indians have improved every game throughout the season. This season is no different. The preparation and execution has gotten better each week. This team is on their own mission. Look at the last 4 years and you can see where this team is going. This team is trending in the right direction. Nederland is improving this year but they aren't where PN-G is right now. PN-G will win this game by double digits.

Gohlke is a concern for any team that plays PN-G. Even in the loss at Brenham, he had multiple highlight reels. With just a little space and even when there seems to not be any, he escapes and is gone.

Nederland should think they have this game won. After all, they beat Crawford and PNG lost to Crawford, so they can just show up and beat PNG. That's the word I'm hearing.

This rival game can be close some years but this isn't one of them. PN-G's overall production in all three phases is better. Watch the next several opponents go down; one game at a time. Nederland is the next win on the way to an undefeated district championship for PN-G.

The Jimmy's and Joe's are not the same...

The Indians will continue to win every district game and there will be plenty of backups seeing action. PNG by 28 would not surprise me. The superior coaching will translate into good execution on the field. Enjoy the long ride...

I like PNG's chances of beating Crawford in the playoffs if that happens.

If you think PNG will be 1 and done, you have no clue about the current state of this football program. I don't care who the #4 seed is, PNG will win that game for sure. Until then, this team will get even better and be rolling when the playoffs begin.

Crawford by a bunch...

Historical records are going to continue to be broken with Coach Joseph. I see that the 13-3 state finalist record from 2022 was omitted from the trend? I see another 13-3 record for 2026. That already surpasses the defining 70's.

It will not be close. PNG wins by enough and plays several backups.
