    Rhodes (9700) holds more than Randall Reed (8200). Also Randall Reed is not nearly halfway for both teams like Katy.

    Really the only other stadium that would be a good fit would be Cy-Fair FCU Stadium at Cypress or Legacy Stadium at Katy. Both of those are taken. Maybe Tomball ISD or Ken Hall or Mercer in Sugarland or Freedom in Iowa Colony.

    Pretty sure Sinton would not agree to any stadium east, southeast, north or northeast of Houston. That takes out several stadiums.

    Best fit for all is something west or southwest of Houston. That keeps travel pretty even.

     

    And teams were already playing at Randall Reed Thursday (Newton) and Friday(Shiner vs. Mount Enterprise) no way would those two teams agree to do a Saturday game with more than likely Carthage awaiting

    Just curious if anyone here may know, since Coach Todd took over at SOC has DISD been getting them some upgrades in the program in say like new weight room, turf practice field, or a covered one/indoor one or anything? With all the recent success they have had. Or can they not due to DISD multi hs so if you do something at this school you gotta do it at all the HS…? 

    South Oak Cliff received a major $52 million renovation in 2020 which included brand-new, state-of-the-art workout facilities and competition gyms as far as the rest of Dallas ISD many other schools received renovations in 2020 that came from a 2015 bond including

    You’re missing my point. If a Golden Triangle school could pull athletes from the entire Jefferson/Orange/Hardin County area while still maintaining a 5A D2 sized enrollment, they’d be competitive, if not beat SOC. The athletes would be comparable, but facilities, community support, coaching, etc would outdo what SOC can offer. But geographically it’s not possible here in SETX, but it is possible in Dallas because the attendance zone is smaller in geographic size. 
     

    The situation isn’t wrong, but it’s not really fair, either. But using a magnet or charter system to form a super team, then being proud of the fact you beat teams who aren’t able to consolidate athletes from a 6 school attendance zone isn’t anything to be proud of.  
     

    Example…. Our local youth football league (STJFL) takes on all players, then fields teams accordingly. Some cities like ours (population 8,000) would field two teams for each age range because that many kids signed up. Then you have one of our neighbors (population 50,000) put together a single team. They hold tryouts, cut kids, etc…. It’s a select team.
     

    If your select team drawn from a pool of 1300 kids is beating the 30 kids assigned to a team from a pool of 90 kids… it’s nothing to be proud of. But I think it’s a flaw that isn’t seen as a flaw in some communities. 

    But y’all have recruited another fine team this year. Congratulations on your “win.”
     

    Still have to have coaching...do you know how many teams that had a ton of talent over the years lost because of coaching quite a few

    You are entitled to your opinion as am I.  If you believe PNG will continue to have issues moving the ball this week as well, then you haven’t seen PNG play much this season.  Our coaches are pretty good at making the necessary adjustments.  Same will hold true again this coming Friday.  And those first three games of the year SOC has played were all close against better defensives than their last 10 games.  They will struggle to score on our defense than their last cupcakes they have been playing against lately and who knows what will happen from there.  

    PN-G played one heck of a game defensively but those offensive woes continued tonight

    I agree with your assessment of what you just text but since the La Porte game every single team has done the same thing against us defensively which is play man to man on our receivers and put every other available player in the box and run blitz on every single play. So when you have 8 in the box and one 6 lineman and HB to block for the RB you leave 2 players completely unblocked nearly every single play. High school coaches struggle to come up with ways to off set this. And our offensive coordinator and staff definitely struggled last week to come up with anything that worked. Go back and watch the 2023 state game against SOC and see how we schemed against them and hit repeatedly. We ran with a Sophomore QB option plays to the outside edge of the line of scrimmage which aided the inside trap plays, we ran wide receiver screens, crossing routes to receivers, screens to the RB and threw over the top to stretch the field and make the defense make plays 1 on 1 and we had success. Ashworth has athleticism use it this week because if our offense plays like it did against MH we will not advance past this game. And use the HB in the offense they rarely get covered because we never throw the ball to them. Run some RPO plays and hit the HB IN between the line of scrimmage and the safety when they are blitzing their LB on every play it’s wide open. Their is no help in the zone that they will receive the pass in and it’s a quick pass that can devestate a defensive. Our CB have to not let WR get behind them we have given up to many big plays the last couple of weeks and don’t need to. Our run defense has been very good all year but they have to make plays and get off the field and not let SOC have 10 -12 play drives that wear us down. Offensively control the clock be aggressive against their pressure and don’t be afraid to take chances down the field . Special teams will play a huge part in this game and the crowd needs to bring energy that the players feed off of. SOC is #1 because they earned it but they was #1 every time we have played them . Looking for a great game and atmosphere for high school football and praying that neither team comes out of it with any injuries because we have had way more than our share of injuries this season. Good luck to both teams and let the best team win.

    If you looked at the scoreboard of the state championship game in 2023 you wouldn't have thought PN-G did much offensively but it was a master class of offensive genius with the scheme you mentioned it was just much harder to get scores down inside the 20 because the safeties for SOC were able to play closer to the LOS Terrell had this same issue last week

    Im backkkk… just for a post or two. SOC, Randle, and IC, to me, are the top tier teams in the classification. I think we fall into tier 2. Does that mean we can’t win, no…. But it will take a perfect game and pull it out in the end type of situation. I will say this. And I’m a life long PNG fan. I have never seen more ignorance, racism, and utter negativity in my life from the PNG fans. From the crying about open enrollment, gloves, region, coaching, etc…. Suit up and play the game and see what happens. But speak with some football IQ folks. We are in the quarters. A undefeated season so far, great coaching staff, and good little  team. Have a QB, RB, and 2 WR, coming back next year. Versus all the negativity, shoot out some positive thoughts. 

    Open enrollment and gloves are legitimate gripes i think the UIL will address those issues eventually...PN-G has a couple of offensive lineman coming back in addition to what you mentioned and that's not including the defense PN-G will be good again next year

    Ive seen PN-G play plenty including Friday...SOC is no cupcake thats for sure i hope PN-G can win this but im just calling it like I see it having seen both teams

    PNG will win in a close one.  Our defense is 10 times better than last season.  SOC will have trouble scoring and the young men will be prepared as they have been every game this season.  Speed?  Every team we have faced is/was faster than PNG.  lol that gets really old.  Literally, SOC hasn’t seen a quality defense since Duncanville and we saw the outcome in that game.  

    SOC only lost that game by 7 and beat a team thats playing in the state quarterfinals next week...yes their district schedule is weak but they've still made it to state each of the last 4 years in spite of that weak schedule...PN-G really struggled to move the ball of Midlothian Heritage and I see similar results this week
