I heard rumblings of the WB QB moving to PN-G but seems that he may have already moved over to Silsbee? 
Shea will keep his current position as noted and the would be sophomore would take over. 
Jackson Christian 6'4" 275 and Mario Miguel 6' 2" 305 return on the line. Dylan Romero and the freshman Wolfford will add more size to the line. Ngyuen and Chatagnier will return at RB. Adams and Nunley at WR. 
 
Defense has 28, 7, 47, 94 and 20 coming back. Plus add in 26, 42 and 43 who all had starts at LB. 
With the talent coming up and plenty of kids who played this season PN-G should be good. 

I ought to ban you for even bringing up his name 85, lol.   Anyway, back on topic and lets keep the coach bashing to a minimum please.

Cool facts about PNG for those who are interested. Please do not take his as bragging. I am only interested in sharing to those who love high school football or want something to compare their program to.  I am a proud Indian and love to talk with others.
PN-G has won 65% of its 88 playoff games. 
PN-G has won 57 playoff games.
PN-G has been  the district champions  27 times.
PN-G has been to the bi-district 34 times
PN-G has been to area  12 times.
PN-G has been to regionals 17 times
PN-G has been to the Quarter-finals 11 times.
PN-G has been to the semi-finals 9 times
PN-G has been to the state championship 7 times.
PN-G has won 3 state championships. 
Only one team in SETX has been to the State championship more time than PN-G and that is the mighty WOS Mustangs with 8 trips.
The other great team from SETX to TIE PN-G for trips to the State Championship is the mighty Newton Eagles. 
We do not have the talent of WOS or Newton. Definitely not SOC. They had over 180 scholarship offers to their team vs a minor handful to PNG. Coaching has been huge for us this season. Congrats to SOC on a magical season, Hats off to you and your program. PN-G had a magical season of their own defeating the #2 #3 and #5 teams in the state. Thank you SETX family for your support. Thank you SETXSPORTS for your support. I have received so many messages of encouragement from many of you and your support warmed my heart. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Even those who sent negative messages at least you recognized the feat of making it this far. Thanks again for making this magical season feel like we are ne big family. Far those who said due to demographics we would never again make it to state I hope you see that there can and will always be opportunities to make it with the right combination of kiddos and coaching and that demographics cant stop a team from making it. Even in this day of recruiting, building super magnet schools and putting all the best athletes on a single team with a goal of making a SC teams like a PNG, Nederland, PAM, WB, BU, Lumberton, Vidor, Dayton, Jasper, WOS, Newton, West Sabine, Shelbyville, and all the other teams that are landlocked, in a dead growth area can and in fact will make it back at some point. When they do its all the more special. No transfers, no magnets, just hometown kiddos playing their tales off. Look at Silsbee. they have been stellar and Ill say it got screwed out of a shot at the semi-finals by a bullshit non-call. I watched the Silsbee game and saw several times the refs screwed them over. Parden my language. The 2 pt. that was allowed when Cuerro was throwing off his knee really pissed me off. It wasn't as if it was something close. he was down way before the ball was thrown. I have no skin in the game as I am a PNG fan, but Silsbee was the best team and should have been playing in the next round. I hate it when refs determine a game. they should never be the deciding factor in an important game as this one was.. Great season Silsbee, Great season Lumberton. 

No thanks, I'll do it here.  I'm not bashing by the way.  I just don't want Nederland to continue down the path of mediocrity.  

We're already there...we have Steve DeRouen as head coach

No thanks, I'll do it here.  I'm not bashing by the way.  I just don't want Nederland to continue down the path of mediocrity.

I have.  Privately. Honestly I think the current leadership has another year or two to produce a winner.  We have some talent coming up.  If there is no production after that, change will come.  

Nederland could use some transfers!!!  Especially of a coach!!!
🤣

Extremely proud of this team! They kept getting better and better each week and went on the grind! STATE CHAMPIONS!!

I have no idea who is gonna win this game.  SOC has a lot of swagger.  PNG is gonna have to come out early and punch them in the mouth.  Much like FBM I think if you can rattle them, you can beat them.   PNG can not let them get momentum early.  If SOC tastes blood early it could be a long night for PNG.   
This is the most well balanced, disciplined PNG team I have ever seen.
If they can not make mistakes they will bring home the trophy!!!

I hope that is PNG 34-13 SOC. 

Bally has the rights for state title games. Not NFHS

My alma mater and the team that routinely bounced us from the playoffs when I was in HS in the 80s (Groveton) were and are the Indians.  At the 2A level (now the 3A level), you get much less of the PC stuff.  That and nobody gives a crap (in general) in small town Texas. 

Don’t care about any attendance records, just the game. This will be a touch game for us. We’ll need to play mistake free ball control game. We need to kick them in the mouth from the kickoff. Love Adams, but he’ll need to stop slowing down at point of contact. Needs to run straight through the defender. 

Watch their documentary. It's great. And it answers your question. 

Why do the have Mecca on their helmets?  So stupid. 

Keys to PNG winning this game.
1. They must get pressure on SOC's quarterback. He's not used to having people in his face with their offensive line.
2. Getting two to three yards a carry is critical. Based on a little bit of the film I've seen of their other opponents, SOC hasn't seen Earth movers like PNG since they played D'ville.
3. As Tepper said the team that can keep their head on straight despite potential record attendance has the best chance.
4. Oh and no turnovers.
Execute and they'll be bringing home the gold.
 

Longview fans were talking about this is the easiest path to state… welp… 

Same amount of time. Aledo has been able to beat most of the 5A D1 schools and a lot of 6a schools for a while now though. No surprise here. 

I’m so happy y’all won!! 

I just need you to stop doing the lightning dance. 

PNG has not had an easy path.   
LBJ was 10th
FBM was 2nd
Liberty Hill was 3rd. 
not to mention how many ranked teams FBM and LH knocked off this playoff run.  
 
PNG is playing solid, well coached, well executed football.   I could not be prouder of PNG.
