May the Lord bless our country and have a revival that sweeps through our nation. May we become a United America again and become One Nation Under God. May the Lord be the one you turn to when making your decision on whom to vote for. May the candidates who take office always consult the Lord before making decisions. God bless America on this day of free elections.

I have almost completely avoided commenting on the election in these forums. I have avoided most politics threads. So with it over, these are my thoughts. The Democrats are all about identity politics, period. Not only about identity of potential voters but about candidates. That doomed them. They have twice chosen a female to run with their banner but was either the best candidate or even the best woman candidate? No. Clinton’s primary was rigged and Harris had no primary. When Harris ran in 2020 she could not even muster the support to win a single delegate. Let that sink in. The Democrats resoundingly rejected Harris four years ago. In my opinion the Democrats through Clinton, created Trump. In a normal election Trump should never have stood a chance in 2016 but against one of the worst candidates in history, the coronation of the first woman president didn’t happen. Was Clinton the best Democrat in the country? It only came down to a socialist in Bernie Sanders and “the first woman”. Why didn’t anyone (big names) else run? It isn’t rocket science. The fix for Clinton and the super delegates was in. No Democrat with future aspirations would dare jump in and risk a defeat. Jump to 2024 and it was rigged again to break the glass ceiling. Of course someone could ignore that it was kind of a shock that Biden dropped out after he had secured the nomination but in smoke filled rooms this was the plan all along. Harris could not run against her boss so the Dems had to back him but then a couple of months before the election, force him out and install Harris without having her run. They hoped the bump would hold but it started fading quickly. They couldn’t wait to name her however because the DNC convention was looming and the call behind the scenes was forced in order for Harris to basically be selected (not elected) unopposed st the convention. It was now or never. Like Clinton, was Harris the best Democrat candidate? I think the result last night was a resounding no. So who best Harris? According to the Democrats it was a guy who had the baggage of… Orangeman bad Mean tweets Twice impeached Convicted on felonies Sued for issues many years ago Insurrectionist Abortion rights removal by the Supreme Court and Trump appointed justices Fascist Hitler Garbage Will overturn the Constitution on his first day in office A threat to democracy Etc. And yet, Harris got thumped. How could anyone think that Trump could win with such (claimed) baggage… but he did. That tells you how bad and delusional the Democrats are. With all of the baggage, how could the Democrat candidate not have won a record breaking landslide like Reagan in 1984? Easy. By selecting a person based on boxes checked. The Democrats created Donald Trump and their internally rigged elections have come back to them. This was not a Donald Trump win. It was a resounding Democrat loss.

At this juncture, I’m very PROUD of MidCounty. Honestly, I could care less about seeding and placement in the district. I’ll be supporting both Nederland and PNG through the playoffs. These young men from BOTH teams play their hearts out for our enjoyment and excitement every Friday night. Prayers for both teams for injury free games for the rest of the season. I know it can be fun with the pokes and jabs in our comments. At the end of the day, regardless which team you support, MidCounty has done each and everyone of us PROUD! God Bless🙏

The whole Nederland student section was on the field with 1 second left. Refs said screw it. I don’t blame PNG for not shaking hands in that chaos. Ayden Sunday left the celebration and went to shake all the PNG kids hands. The kid is a leader and a great example to all the young kids watching

Lost twice in Jefferson County.

If Nederland holds on, they deserve to be state-ranked next week.

One thing is for certain… half of America is gonna be really upset when they finish counting the votes, regardless. I’m praying for peace.

Why would you wonder that? Coach Barrow has a son on the coaching staff and his brother, so yeah, I’m sure he watched it and I’m sure he is glad Nederland won. Anyone who knows Coach Barrow knows that he loves those kids and wants it for them as much as anyone. Coach Rich is doing an amazing job and I hope it continues for a long time, but to act like Coach Barrow would put his own pride before the success of the players is just flat out wrong.

For the Nederland fans, I will give you the Texas High report. The game will be decided on the field and not on message boards. In my opinion, this is the best Tiger team since they won state in 2002. As mentioned earlier they have a well balanced offense that is 50/50 between pass and run. David Potter, QB, makes good decisions and has only thrown 1 INT. He holds an offer from SMU. The running attack is three headed. Javari Johnson (SR), starts at RB and has committed to SFA over 8 D1 offers. Tradarian Ball (JR) is the crown jewel of the offense. 247Sports ranks him as the #2 RB in next year’s class and #46 overall nationally. He has committed to Oregon. When he is not spelling Johnson, he is a receiver. The #3 RB is Ahmad Moore (JR). His yards have come primarily with 2nd team, but I don’t see a huge drop off when he is on the field. The receivers to the passing attack is not focused on one individual. The line has provided good pass protection and opening holes for the run. The defense has given up some points, but are solid. I would say their strength is their secondary. Overall they have very good team speed. As a retired visiting coach related after they watched Texas High … “ They have athletes all over the field”. Grim can be a difficult venue for opponents, especially after a 5 hour bus ride. Looking forward to Friday and safe travels to the Nederland fans.

Congrats HF. Better team won. Lucky plays and athleticism only takes us so far. Wish the weather would've cooperated. Maybe we meet again on a dry field. I'm tired of losing in the rain. Last time I was this wet was in New Caney. I know Aggies remembers. That was a rematch of the district championship too. Let's get back there. It's possible. I know the Horns gonna be there. We're still questionable in any game against a well experienced staff. HF made a great hire and the rewards are all theirs now. Good job

The game is over. The 14 year old won. Nederland has a very good team and still has a chance to win the District on Friday. Focus on that. Nederland has exceeded expectations. Winning against both Lake Creek and PNG was not on anyone’s crystal ball before the season began. It’s been a good year no matter what happens.

Didnt take long for spider to go back to his cheerful ridiculous self. Wow

I agree guitar man it time to move on. Just want to make sure we understand, LCM in 2024 is a better football team than BC. Good luck rest of season.

Two SETX rivalry games tonight. One arguably the biggest rivalry in the state. One game thread is replete with whining from both sides about officiating (and who benefitted more from bad calls). The other about which team made more plays, and the fans of the team who came up short giving kudos to the team who got the W. It’s almost like one game involved two teams who “have been there before.” No doubt great rivalries are fueled by two schools whose teams consistently leave it all on the field. But honestly it’s the fans who are the constant, year after year. And IMO, with all due respect to Permian- Lee (which is probably the second best I’ve personally witnessed), NO ONE does it better than you mid county folk. Congrats to the Bulldogs - great win in a game that seems to spit out classic after classic.

I'm an outside, I have no skin in this game. PNG should be considered the favorite in this game, they should be the heavy favorite. That being said PNG has not looked like last years team, they look like a smart, savvy veteran team that is not quite as talented as last year. Nederland if they want to win needs to punch PNG in the mouth from the moment the game starts until it ends they need to turn this into a brawl as much as a game in the trenches. PNG is bigger, stronger, more accomplished, and has the better coaching staff and because of all of those reasons I think the dogs take this one, because it's not called mid-county expectations it's called mid-county madness and madness ensures the dogs come out of top.

Nederland has a shot. Nederland is at home. Road wins are hard. Nederland, run the ball, run the ball, and run the ball some more. When you want to throw the ball, stop. Pause. Run the ball. Line up and play the best you can on defense. Maybe a turnover or two goes your way. Get a few stops, and run the ball. MLC QB Eli Morcos is the best QB you will see this season. He's good, very good. MLB RB Tyvann Byars is also good. You see a good RB in practice every day. Thomas can do everything Byars can do. You will be ready. MLC will make some plays. That's OK. Morcos and Byars are good players. Control what you can, compete, and did I say, RUN THE BALL. Nederland has a good shot to get the W.

Dude, if you think they suck so bad go root for another team and change your screen name. 10-1 thus far isn’t sucking in my book.

Not this year's PN-G team

Agreed!! PNG is by far the worst 9-1 team in the state!! They are lucky to be 37-5 over the last 3 years

NRG Stadium has all of that. Five football dressing rooms and plenty of seating. Dallas fans did not travel last time to Houston and there were some new schools involved as well. I personally can't stand the seating at AT&T. Things are very disconnected compared to walking around a concourse that circles the main seating bowl like many stadiums. Not to mention the giant screen is so distracting to the point that it's hard not to watch the game the entire time on it. It's definitely got the "wow factor" when walking in, but I'm there to watch a game. I've heard the stories of how NRG wasn't accommodating, but as someone that has covered multiple state championships in Arlington and traveled to them as a fan, it would be nice to catch games closer to home. It would also be nice to see the Dallas teams not playing in their own backyard year after year.

PNG by 4 TD's....Hallsville is not a very good football team. Playoffs are where PNG's coaching staff excels. They seem to always have the boys ready. Looking forward to another long playoff run no matter who the next opponent is.

Will be a close game till about 10mins left in the 1st qtr.

I recommend they leave Thursday, stay over night in Bossier City, hit the casinos that night, then be fresh Friday evening.

Thank you as usual Bronco fans you are so kind. We wilk do out best. I am praying your have an injury free year next year and get back to the playoffs were you belong. I have and will always consider you our Purple brothers and sisters. Bronco Nation is always proud. I watched your broadcast last night and it was very professional. Thank you for welcoming us and treating our fans so well. Not every school does this. You set a great example of how to host opponents, and always a team thay shows great sportsmanship. A PNG fan.

shouldn't have, if you'd paid it back responsibly. you like to talk about how well you're doing financially... shoulda paid more than the minimum. it's not difficult. my wife got her masters and we paid it off in 2 years.

God bless trump God bless America. If Republicans play the next 4 years right. They will be in power for some time. D’s have to push towards the middle got to liberal and the country rejected that tonight.

Thankful that Harris didn’t win. Here’s hoping that Trump devotes his energy to improving the country and not getting even with those who’ve gone after him. That’s my biggest concern at this point. If the next four years are better than the last four then it sets up well for a Vance presidency the next election. I also hope this leads to some changes in the Democratic Party away from the insanity that they’ve been pushing the last 8-10 years. I think this election was mostly decided by the economy and our suffering pocketbooks, but was also a referendum against a lot of the woke nonsense they’ve been peddling. Allowing men in women’s locker rooms and sports, supporting attacks on Israel, being soft on criminals, and putting the needs of illegal immigrants over those of the American people all helped swing this election. Oh, and replacing one terrible candidate with one who was just as bad didn’t help either. Here’s to hopefully 4 much better years!

Well, it looks like I might have misjudged this one a little bit. He’s still a turd, though.

I have a feeling you probably agree but I trust Vegas odds way more than any polls.

Funny you didn't have all that energy last week. 😶

I am a retired fantasy football owner. With 6 Super Bowl wins. And I will say this. Maybe the funniest post I have ever seen on here. I guess this is the Montgomery Mentality…….

I know I can’t keep up with the gurus on here. Ned/PNG is over by over a week. Need to focus on the future. Here’s the way I see it. Start of season, focus on DC. If that’s not in the cards, make the playoffs. To me, seeding is only good for the first round, because on paper, the lesser team should be gone…..on paper. Here’s a scenario. Let’s say Nederland gets the top seed, our bi-district opponent will be #4 seed from another district. So we “dodged the dreaded #1 seed matchup. Woooooo. Sooner or later, should Nederland keep advancing, they are going to meet that #1 seed or a team of equal or higher caliber. So what difference does it really make….NONE. Simply tighten your chin straps and play football. Whatever happens, happens. Good luck to all teams in our district. Lamar1996, could you please post something with at least a 4th grade mentality?

I watched the entire game online, no defense at all until LCM stepped up in the 4th quarter, #12 for Huffman is as tough a player as I have seen in years! The QB for Huffman was also very good. Now LCM may have played the most complete game on offense this year…the QB is starting to find receivers and we already know he can run. I am a BC grad with Kids that played at LCM so here is my thought on next week, I am not sure BC can stop the Huffman run game but if they do can BC match the offense? Most of the games I have watched with BC is they make mistakes that cost TD’s and that cannot happen against Huff…. Both Teams are very talented, one has played to that talent and the other has yet to reach the full potential….injuries have played a part. It will be a great game in BC!! LCM and Huffman battled their butts off and I really enjoyed it.

What’s even funnier is that 1 week ranked team . Beat you, at home. And ended your win streak…., at your house. lol

Offense needs to stay on the field and limit Montgomery chances. Huntsville had a goo scheme against them. Contain the QB from running. Make him beat you through the air.

No need to apologize to anyone, but you’re a class act regardless. And, I agree there’s too much “in your face” in sports. It defeats the purpose of it, throws the whole thing off. I like the handshake after because it’s a least a symbolic reminder that opponents aren’t enemies. For some related history, I’ve always been inspired by the tribute the British showed the Red Baron after they finally killed him. He had shot down many of their comrades and had of course been a feared enemy, but since he was killed behind British lines they interred him with full military honors. There’s a picture of the allied soldiers standing reverently at his funeral that gives me chills. That’s the kind of attitude I’d like to see coaches instill in players. On that note, I watched Ayden Sunday rush across the field to console Conner Bailey after last Friday’s game. He’s carried Nederland for three years, and suffered through a couple bad seasons, and two MCM losses — That his first thought was of his opponent and not celebrating with his classmates says a lot.

The loser.

For those that don’t think coaches make a difference! Well there you go. It got PNG over the hill and now Nederland is on its way. They won’t go to state but it’s a matter of time. Congratulations dogs! Keep fighting and stay hungry.

I’m thinking next alignment, Cards should move up to 5a div 2, considering their improvement? It s currently not fair to LCM, Huffman, Vidor, And others, that they have to compete now with such a power house.

Nederland is playing harder under the new coach which is going to play a factor in this game. This is one of those games that you don't have to get the kids hyped up about. These kids have been looking forward to this game since the clock hit 0:00 at last years game. We make predictions all we want and look at common opponents and margins of victory in those games, however all bets go out the door for MCM. Rankings don't matter, strength of schedule doesn't matter, decibels at the pep rally don't matter. These kids come to play for this game every year. That is why it's the best high school football rivalry in the state of TEXAS!

Well deserved [Hidden Content]

Because it’s just that time of year, that’s why….

Huffman is the best team in the district

That was 100% a terrible call that should have never been called, but you can’t just throw stuff on the field and pitch a fit until they over turn it when it’s not reviewable

Absolutely love that. Great hire Ned

This was one of those “transformation right before your eyes” kinds of games. Nederland’s defense played like a top-tier team. Byars had nowhere to run, and I’m not sure Marcos has ever been hit that much.

Depends on the hiring method....When Biden said his VP would be a woman of color.......BAM, DEI hire If a company hires a woman of color based on their qualifications, that would NOT be a DEI hire...... I think the difference is caveman simple

Are you trying to tell me that Lockheed, who built the first ever stealth fighter F-117, built the SR-71 that is the fastest jet ever invented and the most advanced combat aircraft in the Joint Strike Fighter F-35 Lightning II….. didn’t invent the airplane… or jet engines? How can that be? I thought maybe the Wright brothers built the F-35 since they flew the first airplane. Consider me shocked!! Next you will be trying to tell me that Samsung didn’t invent the television.

Silsbee has now won 6 straight and 8 of last 9 vs. Jasper. Very happy to lose this pickem.
