Not only tough district but tough region. PNG is in region 2 this time.

Not to belabor the point, but they wouldn’t have to do it at all if they had picked a bigger stadium. They didn’t care when it meant fewer PnG fans would be able to attend. When some LH fans might not get to go, suddenly they have to take measures. They could have just made it where far more fans could get tickets by picking a bigger venue, which is always better for football and more fun for both sides. 
 

And, it’s not just about the competition. PNG fans LIKE Liberty Hill. We want to see Liberty Hill play. Seeing Liberty Hill is one of the unique experiences in high school sports. I hope if we play next year we pick a bigger venue because this could be a special rivalry and a fun time between the fans, instead of fighting each other for spaces in a small stadium. 

If we play again next year it won’t be a Semifinal game it will be somewhere in the regional rounds. They will end up in Region 3 next year with realignment.

I hope Kibbles, Baltrip, and Miller heal up soon. With an extra day off, hopefully playing next Friday Silsbee will be ready. I think we will draw Gatesville. 

Any word today on their injuries?  

Just my thought on this is that the UIL should not allow teams to opt up. You play the teams that fall in your classification. Then everyone has the same advantage based in student counts.

Nederland did not sit at home in 1999 playoffs? They was Co-district champs. They lost to eventual state champions Texas City in the quarterfinals.  
 

Nederland made the playoffs every year from 1996-2006 2007 season they didn’t then started a streak again.. 

Without digging too much I think since 1996 Nederland has not qualified for the playoffs you can count on 1 hand… 

 

Sorry you have a wrong year for 1999. PNG went to the state game and lost to Stephenville by a score of 28-18. Art Briles was the coach of Stephenville and his son Kendall was the QB for them.

Any word on whether Shae Adams will play this week? If so, in what capacity? It seems a waste to have a perfectly capable qb already and put him on the sidelines, when you could have Shae all over the field terrifying defenses and defensive coordinators, with Bailey at QB. 

Shae did play 2 plays Friday night. He took the last 2 snaps.

La Porte turns in 2249. That's higher than West Brook's number of 2232.

Quite possibly LP goes to 6A.

@OlDawg

Just a guess but I think the 6A cutoff is going to be 2260-2265.  

I will still call it Crook Thomas stadium. 

Texan live is suppose to stream free of charge per DCTF staff.

If PNG wasn't in the state championship game this wouldn't even be news this week in my opinion. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Do you see them asking any other team that has “The Indians” as their mascot to change their names?  Haven’t heard them complaining about Santa Fe are Cleveland.

Well last PNG game I went to in playoffs was when they played Stephenville and they had 60,000 fans at that game. 

The total for this game was 39,102.  This is the 22nd largest crowd at a Texas high school football game. 

This is going to be a bad decision on the FBM coach for not wanting to play in a bigger stadium. Not only will he have to deal with fans on the other side but will have to also deal with PN fans on his side. Let’s go Indians!!!!!!
