I look forward to games like this because of the type of town we are playing. A good sized blue collar town that isn't DFW/Houston/Austin mega school (or soon to be mega school).  Lots of similarities in the schools and the people who live there. I thought the same thing when we played BWB in the title game several years ago. Glad to see like towns/schools have this success.
I get some of our fans and the degree of confidence. There are a lot of non Longview fans in that thread who are predicting some of the craziness and being down right disrespectful.  Most of us know what PAM is going to put on the field on Friday. We also know there is a problem defensively in discipline with PAM. You guys have given up a lot of points and honestly shouldn't have. So yeah that's gives us confidence because we know our defense will get some stops.
Other than the rain, turnovers, penalties, this game comes down to two things that are pretty simple in my eyes. Does Longview coach get conservative and play into PAMs defense. You guys have trouble stopping the run but have gotten pretty stout on the interior. When LV gets conservative we will continually run it right at you. This could lead to several three and outs and hurt us getting into a rhythm. The other is the PAM QB. We had trouble with Lancaster's QB. He was quick and could throw on the run...but he was one of the fastest players we have seen all year. If PAM QB is more like Crosby's QB than Lancaster, then we will be good.
As far as athleticism goes if PAM doesn't have the edge, then these teams are even. One poster said that he saw film and LV looked slow. In 35 years of watching LV football, that is the first time I have ever heard that. It will be a very athletic and physical game on Friday. I hope whatever refs show up, they let these boys play.  
I got LV in this game because of the way both teams have played through most of the year. But I have no doubt that PAM can win this game if LV doesn't play the way we know they can.
Safe travels on Friday.
 

yawn...must suck to be at home wishing your team was playing.....go watch some basketball lol...oh we dominating that too........sucks to be code brown..

the t shirts from a few years ago, PA vs Errbody is more true this week than ever lol

This is one thing I stick with PNG about… don’t change your name!! People are soft… and smashmouth I’m not gonna entertain that cause I’m not sure if u joking or serious lol

Gotta get of the mic with those types of emotions. 

I have no problem with the score by back-ups. The announcer sounds like he was fussy and needed a diaper change. 

The Gilmer comment was un-called for.
I dont know what the context of the drive/situation was. Did the other team call timeout with little time left on the clock? Was it a pick prior setting them up with this field position?
Even without knowing these facts, throwing the ball in that situation is a bit of dick move regardless of what personnel is in. If they can't stop the run with second and third string guys in, so be it, but run the clock... you're up by four possessions. 

I may be wrong but I interpret he’s referring to CHill fans being arrogant.  On the other site some of their fans are talking about going to see Lindale vs Kilgore to see a good game - ergo Ltown vs CHill - won’t even be close.

The Chapel Hill / Livingston score may deceive many. TCH by 3 scores and the train gets pulled into the station for rebuilding

2nd round. Only time we've met.

Always loved playing after Thanksgiving. Good luck this week against PNG.

You are a class act as always.   Great assessment 

You are a class act as always.   Great assessment 

It is very much an honor.  I’m an old school Cub and I have never stopped being involved on some level.  We had a good team.  I played at the old stadium on behind the old school on market street.  We ran into a buzz saw in the third round my senior year.  West orange stark dropped from 5A, and were too much.  I miss Coach West, and all of his assistants that built that program into one of the best in the state from 2000-2017.  Hopefully the second choice after he left will be a better coach than that clown.  From 2020-2021. 

Yeah, we just don’t have the animals up front like we did in prior years.  Good skill position players, with good speed.  New coach has a wide open offense as opposed to the run first philosophy like before.  They are alright, kinda inconsistent.  They had Lake Creek on the ropes in the 4th qtr a couple weeks ago before we made a couple is stupid mistakes and Lake Creek scored twice in like two minutes.  It’ll be competitive.  

I've had my eye on Lumberton for several weeks now and they have not disappointed. Very good football team on both sides of the football. A district championship and 3rd round playoff appearance echoes that. Historic territory for L-town. I think Lumberton is capable of winning this game.
That said.... Chapel Hill is a dangerous animal. They may look sloppy on film a lot of the time with turnovers and penalties and such. But make no mistake, they can score the football from anywhere on the field at any time... and their defense can absolutely get after you when they want to. Soph RB Ricky Stewart is the guy you really have to worry about. Kilgore's defense is one of the best in the state and Stewart gashed us for over 200 yds rushing. If you key on him then the QB Brisbon can hurt you just as badly with his legs and arm. They have 3 WR's that are dangerous (not even counting the D1 receiver they lost in week 10 for the season). IMO, the best player on their team is #52 who plays offensive and defensive line. They can definitely be beat, but you'll have to play very clean and be + 2 or 3 on turnovers.
 

PNG has a legit shot here.  Brenham is solid but nothing special.  

Considering how close PA and PNG communities are, this would have been perfect for both teams to do a double header

Don't forget about a lil 4a d2 team that was ranked #4 until PNG showed us up. 
And to simplify your numbers above. Maxpreps has strength of schedule
PNG  18.3
LBJ    -1.5

So in 5a D2 there are 118 teams.  Dave Campbell has computer rankings for them all. Austin LBJ's Opponents have the following ranks-see below. 
 Lowly Nederland "47th ranked" would have won 7 out of 8 of these district games.  These teams are among the worst in 5a D2.  I'm not impressed with LBJ at all.  Not saying they aren't good but this is why they aren't ranked higher. 
Weiss-46th in 6a
Manor 81st in 6a
Navarro 112
Travis 114
LASA 117
Eastside 118
Northeast 98
Mcallum 64
Crockett 61
Playoff game Elgin 68

Prayers!!

100% false.. PNG played a top ten  5a d1 team in PA memorial, They played the second ranked team in Fort Bend Marshall.  Texas city, Dayton, Nederland, Willow brook, and Galena park are all more highly rated than the vast majority of LBJ's district.  There is no comparison in strength of schedule.  I am still not convinced PNG will win.  LBJ is legit. They probably have more overall talent than PNG athletically.    Like you are saying, It could come down to numbers.  
 

LBJ should be playing 4A football but the AISD does not care about winning a state title.  LBJ has less than 100 players in football program and only has about 35 on varsity and usually has to combine 9th and JV.  They have played far better teams than PNG.  Dallas Private school that also beat Aledo and nearly beat SOC and 6A Manor and beat 6A Weiss.  LBJ does not have the numbers to make a run in 5A much less in region 3 as opposed to their weaker region 4.  PNG should take them down.
