We lost Hornsfan86 last week to a fatal car wreck. He was one of the most loyal and passionate fans around. You could count on one hand the number of Hamshire-Fannett games we have missed in the last 30+ years...through rain, shine, sleet or...well, I don't remember any snow. I had to chuckle when talking to a bunch of friends this week. More than one person told me that when they got to the football game, they would look in the stands to find us...then proceeded to the other end of the stands. We didn't call each to other to asked if we were going to the game, we just asked what time do you want to go. Even after Harvey and Imelda, in which both of our houses were flooded, the conversation was still "what time are you going to pick me up to head to the game". I'm not sure how many people on here knew him, as he did not engage too much on this forum. But every ref that has called a Hamshire-Fannett game has surely heard him. But after the game, on the ride back home, our conversations were strictly on who we were playing the next game. He did not dwell on play calling, referee calls, or plays made or not made. Prayers to his wife and three kids. RIP Hornsfan86...you will be missed.

Figured I would start this thread since one, I will be broadcasting this game and get to see up close and personal the best athlete in the district and second, that district championship thread of Anahuac/EC was a bust. Thoughts? I have the Bobcats winning 27-20. Note: Leon the Lion is only allowed 2 posts on this thread, so make it good.

You are correct on more house -- not really the house but the land, and low taxes. what you get is a city that has no solid waste pick up, -contracted out, documented bad water, no sidewalks, crap for (lack of) city services, no ordinances (trailer next to a $$$$$ home) School districts with limited courses ie French Latin Autobody, etc... So yes its cheaper kind of like a Hyundai is cheaper then a Jaguar All about quality of life

Or shooting flares across the stadium . 🙄

no not at all,believe me I discipline my kids more than most,im just saying my opinion only,and that really doesn't matter,im just saying id rather a lil powder and kids having fun inside the gates than out in the streets getting in trouble!!again just my opinion

United had two wins last season and has the chance to end this season 6-4. Not making the playoffs is disappointing but going from 2 wins to possibly 6 wins is an really good accomplishment for a team in their second year of existence.

agree picking PNG over BH but having BH higher in state and region must of been a mistake. 16 5A - Nacogdoches at 2nd is interesting... 22 3A EC 1 and Orangefield 2 - this could go either way - but I think Orangefield will finish 1 and they have Kirbyville finishing 4th and 8th... prob right on the 8th.. Glad the season is getting underway! Rankings don't matter - W/L matters now.

Some would say the team of Joe Buck and John Smoltz was disappointing

Makes for an awesome picture though

It will be a great game as always. Every once in a while you get a few that step out of line but both of our school administrations address problems quickly and with corrective action to keep things in check.

If UIL would put these teams in a four team district, the problems would be solved'''''''

Almost identical from last year. Also including a score loss to WO-S. I hope this season pans out like last season where this team comes out the gate in two weeks full steam . Hopefully, same or better results..

Why would anyone buy life insurance when global warming is getting us all in 12 years?

I’m not a big government person, but some people don’t understand that the things they do profit from, such as good streets or safe schools cost money.

Thank you

ok

POWDER PARTY

Born & raised in Groves, TX. Attended my first football game in September, 1965 when I was 9 months old. I have missed 4 PNG football games, total, since the day I was born. There was a painting incident at Nederland High School in 1982, that I may, in some small way, have been a part of...Hmmm, but I am no transplant. I also work in the medical field & know the health risks of the pansy powder shower, I speak from experience,. I agree kids can have fun, but do it without destroying the people who are around you regarding their health & ability to enjoy the game. Once again, just a little common sense should kick-in to your minds.

Lot different than the late 70s or early 80s fish would get their head shaved,and a Lot of crazy stuff we would do u would get u in trouble now to soft now days everyone takes everything to serious

I might or might not been party to some eggings and other foolishness back in the early 90's

Speaking of handouts did the Crosby School District ever figure out how to manage crooked numbers so they didn’t have lay-off half the school district?

As long as one of them burns down Jasper in the third round (assuming Jasper is still around) I'll be content.

Well back in the mid to late 90s barbers hill was king in that dept. not sure about now

You are correct. Monte is a good coach in his own right. Larry just schooled Fairycloth to the point of PNG fans (younger ones) professing its just another game No big deal. BIG deal is that RJ scored all the touchdowns for PNG vs Ned his career. Not PAs or FG but TDs

Are we talking spiritual interaction, intervention or meta-physical vs. spiritual speed, or maybe that is another discussion!😂

I am not going to write a book; just getting over the illness from eating so much crow. This game is really a playoff game, and again excellence will payoff. Look for Logan Born, Tia Pham, and Landon Corbitt to be standouts in this game. These guys will do what they are asked to do with no excuses. I saw you during the team perfect play segment, finishing thirty yards down the field and running the ball with authority. Homework Assignment for Foster: Read the book "Shut Up and Listen by Tilman Fertitta by Friday night.(There is an audio version) Step up and be a leader Anahuac by 1, in a street fight.

Didnt realize you was playing Friday Night. Good luck little buddy. Get back to class and pay attention 🤣🤣😂

WOS was disappointing to me. Only from the perspective of them spoiling us going 10-0 so much. Still a real good team. I’d put Silsbee in there also. Really thought the Tigers would have a break out year.

the top enrollment of a classification should not be more than double the bottom enrollment #. I do remember that rule that they set for themselves

It's Tuesday

Leon the Lion goes extinct (till baseball season) when Anahuac falls to the lowly Bobcats. (during game, best athlete in district agent, LL, phoned down to sideline and request player to be taken out and saved for baseball)

give me the panthers in a close one to many athletes

Bobcats by 2-3 TD's I also predict @Leon the Lion will write 2 books for his 2 posts since he's only allowed 2 🤣🤣🤣

ill say it again this year,,let the kids have fun!!!

Awesome Image, Ignorant reality!!!

Please remember that this is a high school football game, not a pansy powder party. Time before last our PNG student section brought powder to the game at Nederland. The wind was blowing it right at the stands. My wife, and the woman next to me had to leave, as well as their husbands, because the ladies had a severe asthma attack from the powder residue. Baby powder is for babies. Keep it at home, and try yelling for your team, not making your own fans sick. Oh yeah, let's keep the fireworks & flares away as well. Is this statement I am making here common sense, gosh I hope so! If not, the immaturity has surely overtaken the sanity at our high school. For those who say "...these are just kids having fun..." then I say that the immaturity has moved to those adults, and parents who tolerate this behavior. NOW LETS PLAY FOOTBALL!!!

Only confirmed matchups please.

Refs did a great job of getting Tigers o. off the field, with phantom calls.

They were the best team in Baytown. I hope the UIL will put us all in the same district next year. Baytown needs some "rivalry" type games (along with some wins) to peak interest in football again.

Good shot!

Barbers Hill and Crosby disappointed me the most by beating PNG.

After their 4-0 start it has to be United. Another team that started the season off well but will miss the playoffs is Tarkington. Really thought they were going to make the playoffs.

Just watched the Crosby hilights from the Ned game. Based on the many wide open receivers, If the PNG passing game is clicking, Ned is toast. On the other hand, been around to long to bet a nickel on this one. I’ve seen both win when they shouldn’t have. Throw out the stats and records. This is a true, long time, rivalry. Only sure bet, both teams will leave it all on the field.

Congrats on your banner.

Toss up like most years. Throw the records out, throw the like opponent comparisons out and just look into the magic 8 ball😃. PNG came into the game last night determined to throw the ball and that they did. Ned’s secondary will be tested like ours was. NED however will be able to pound the ball through the night mixed in with some timely passing. Last one that has the ball wins! Goodluck to both

PN---G has been a favorite many years but they still get out coached and lose.

I heard about this. I'm not opposed to the score being lopsided, but this dude waited until 2 minutes were left in the game to pull his starters. That guy has no business coaching kids. At that age, everyone needs playing time and if you're up big reward your kids who put in just as much practice time but don't get in when the game is close with some field time Your hs team will be better for it. And maybe those kids will stick with the sport a little longer.

How is it that in 5a d1 there’s about a 300 difference between top and bottom and yet in 5a d2 there’s about a 700 difference. How does that make sense???

3A 22 OF EC Buna Warren I like it !
