OlDawg Posted Monday at 03:58 PM Report Posted Monday at 03:58 PM Did a little digging since we always have this question come up. Here's the history between La Porte & Port Arthur. La Porte vs Port Arthur History This year’s District 9-5A D1 game will be the 34th all time meeting between La Porte and Port Arthur. La Porte first faced Port Arthur Jefferson in 1922. This rivalry dates back 104 years! This season will be the 34th game played between the two cities. Port Arthur Jefferson closed in the late 90's and Port Arthur Memorial became the school in Port Arthur in 2002. Here is the breakdown of the last 33 meetings! LP PA 1922 0 20 1978 49 12 1979 24 22 1980 14 41 1981 7 41 1982 21 33 1983 28 14 1984 7 6 1985 17 20 1986 14 17 1987 21 14 1988 17 12 1989 35 20 1990 35 35 Tie 1991 27 22 1992 49 27 1993 37 0 1996 38 6 1997 31 3 2006 56 27 2008 56 28 2009 42 21 2010 37 13 2011 24 20 2011 6 34 2012 37 33 2013 45 47 2014 41 35 2015 13 62 2020 17 45 2021 27 50 2022 34 54 2023 27 38 2026 ? ? Current head-to-head overall: LP 19, PA 13. Since the opening of Memorial, the series is tied 7-7. It's been a series of 5 game runs broken up by alternating wins by both teams between the runs. PAM was the last team to beat LP in a district game in either 9-5A D1, or 11-5A D1 with a comeback win in Port Arthur in 2023. AggiesAreWe and Mr. Buddy Garrity 2 Quote

Some of those scores might be wrong, I know 2015 is cause we didn't even win that game and the game itself was a close one. OlDawg 1 Quote

I know they’re good through 2011. Had those on file and double-checked. The others, I cobbled and used Maxpreps. (I know, I know. But, it’s all I have right now.) Do you remember the score in 2015?

Do you remember the score in 2015? 31-24 LP if I remember correctly, LP stopped us at the 3 due to a fumble right after we had a 95yd run the play before and held on to win. Yeah I don't trust MaxPreps with really anything. OlDawg 1 Quote

pakronos Posted yesterday at 05:10 AM Report Posted yesterday at 05:10 AM I liked what I saw from the png transfer. Kid throws a nice ball! Not very mobile, but with a couple of other surprise transfers, they should make it 3-4 rd deep. And no I dont count the first rd. Quote

BMTSoulja1 Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago At this point, I don’t know a lot about this district, but I’ll take a stab on how I think the top 4 will look. 1. La Porte 2. Beaumont United 3. Lufkin 4. Port Arthur I think BU finally beats PA this year. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote

OlDawg Posted 1 hour ago Report Posted 1 hour ago Not sure what to expect from LP this year. They could be 2024--but more balanced. I understand they'll be using more pro sets to take advantage of Wells' dual threat capabilities. I assume they'll also bring up the young Soph RB to complement Simon. He is more of a physical back than Ruffin. Similar to Simon in that regard. Ruffin had more speed. (At least, he seemed to have very quick 'football speed.') If he can produce at the varsity level like he has at the lower levels, LP could be really dangerous with both RB's, a dual threat QB, a Pitt commit at TE, a D1 WR in Smith, and some very solid slot players. They also have a kicker again who is D1 material. I hope the D is improved, and they've learned their lessons about closing out ballgames. I know they're PO'd and hungry after being embarrassed in the PO's last year. Losing a D1 Edge player will definitely hurt. But, I'm being told there's a kid that has a different style, but is actually just as disruptive in his own way. More like a Kendzior--who went to Air Force. We'll see. Like others have said, not much time to fine tune before the real games begin. Experienced teams with some talent and experienced QB's will probably have the edge. Dropping an early ballgame or two may be all it takes to get bumped out of the PO picture with the balance in this district. Quote
