Can you get tickets at the gate? or is that in the dustbin of history like the Big Chief tablet? 

I think they make you go online now and pay an inconvenience fee.  It seems like just the smaller schools still have tickets at the gate now.   I sure miss the days of the $5 dollar bill at the gate.

Yeah, that's what I figured, never heard the term 'inconvenience fee' but that's the best term for it. You know someone is making some serious passive income. thanks for info

Just tagging on to your premise:

Montgomery and Lake Creek were tied 15-15, or thereabouts, at the half.  Ended up 42-31.  PNG led Lake Creek at the half 42-0, with the final score 45-21, with pretty much the entire bench playing the second half.  I think LC kicked 2 or 3 on-side-kicks in the 2nd half.  The second half was essentially a scrimmage. 

Vs Huntsville, the final scores were fairly similar, although Montgomery played well for 2 halves, and PNG came alive in the 2nd half, 29-0, after trailing 10-29. The only other common opponents are Splendora and West Fork, and one can slice and dice those scores any way you want.  We'd really have something to hang our hat on I think if Montgomery would have played LaPorte in a pre-district game. Or even Klein Oak.  

From what I understand LC VS Montgomery is a massive rivalry so those games are usually  tight. My buddy out in Magnolia says there is a strong dislike for each other, LC is viewed as the country club school & Montgomery a little more blue collar. 

Montgomery Beatdown Huntsville & PNG had to come from behind to win that one. 

I Just think this is one of the best games in the state tomorrow night. Good luck to both teams.

The scores weren’t similar at all between Montgomery/Huntsville and PNG/Huntsville. Montgomery had the game won by halftime. There was about a quarter (the first one) where they traded punts and it looked like Huntsville could be in the game, and then Montgomery gave them absolutely no breathing room. PNG, after the comeback from 21-10 at the half, didn’t have the game fully in hand until the beginning of the 4th quarter. And of Huntsville’s three scores against Montgomery, two of them were in garbage time. There’s not any real comparison between those two games. Admittedly, Huntsville lost three starters in that game, so they might have played better in a different week. Comparing those two games doesn’t tell us anything, and if it does, it’s that Montgomery is really good and PNG better forget about La Porte and Huntsville and get ready for a war.

They’ll send you to the same digital ticket site, so you might as well buy them today to save $4 per ticket vs the higher game day price.

IMO the final scores were similar, by my definition of similar, as reflected by the comparisons we're making. But regardless, it's fun to run the numbers and guess the scores, which is why we are all participating on this forum in the first place.  It's up to the boys to play the game. Like someone said up above, it should be a good game. Hoping for good weather, no injuries, and cheering for PNG.

I think it was Brent Carroll on defense, the starting running back Traeshawn Brown, and one other guy on offense. @Eazy might be able to tell us.

Defense, Defense, Defense.  In this game 1 or 2 stops by either team could very well be the difference between victory & defeat.  Both teams will find ways to score, finding ways to stop that scoring will the key to this one.

You could not have been more right. You could have thrown in there that Joseph coached teams are 15-1 in 1 score games. Great call. 

[buccaneers4lyfe]

This looked like it was a great one, good luck to both teams in the playoffs.
