I think we all know that this is about the time of year when Southeast Texas high school football fans of all stripes start to consolidate into the fanbases of the Southeast Texas teams still in the playoffs. This year, there are three teams from the 409 still competing: Newton, Silsbee and PN-G. This week, Silsbee and PN-G will both play at Houston-area venues. Silsbee will play Cuero at 1 PM on Friday in NRG Stadium. PN-G will kick off against Fort Bend Marshall at 7 PM that night at the stadium in Galena Park. These are opportunities for Southeast Texas to show its legendary fan support. Tickets to the PN-G game have already gone on sale, and GPISD has opened up both sides of the field to PN-G fans and their friends in anticipation of a sell-out crowd. Tickets to the Silsbee game will go up on Ticketmaster shortly, if they haven't already. Let's show up and show the rest of the state out. See y'all at the game(s).

The people in Marshall say the Longview cheerleaders can’t spell. That’s why there are no signs.

I don’t think lack of hunger or off-season expectations were the issue with LCM. Sometimes, you either have the tools or you don’t. Same goes for Lumberton moving forward. Although, I hope they can keep it up.

PNG will win, not going to predict a score. Coach Joseph comes from a Championship pedigree he knows how to win. The new DC they got us one of the best in the state, He’s completely transformed that defense. Last year BH team everyone counted them out and the Hill punched FBM in the mouth and won. If PNG does this they will win! Good Luck PNG this Bulldog is rooting for y’all!

It would behoove PNG to have time consuming drives to keep FBM offense off the field.

After seeing the HF and Cuero game, im taking Silsbee by at minimum 2 scores. Silsbee is just on a mission this year, they have the better athletes & offense.

Most of the people riding Bosco or MD couldn't tell you where either school is located in Cali if their life depended on it. Either one of these schools decline like DLS and it'll be like they never existed.

You should see the comments in the YouTube videos. Cali folks say they have the best football because of these two highly recruited schools (De La Salle too)…and our football is trash. It’s like saying last years Rams should be able to beat the AFC pro bowl team. When you point it out they say we are crying and that we also recruit. 😜

Crosby is the greatest football team of all time. Everyone knows that.

In the Catholic Mass today our Gospel reading was Matthew 24:37-44. It concerns the End Times. I’ve always been fascinated how those two words gets everyone’s attention. I read were approx 150,000 people die daily. For them, it is the End Times. Thus the reason we should be prepared to meet our Heavenly Father at all times, not just when we walk out of services where the Priest or Preacher has mentioned “End Times”. So let’s all prepare ourselves for our own End Times, be it the Second Coming or our own inevitable death. God Bless all of you!

Fort Bend Marshall wanted a smaller stadium to limit the PNG crowd size, but when the FBM fans have PNG fans sitting in their laps and singing Cherokee because there’s no space they’ll be thinking, “This is so much worse.”

Good post but I think Silsbee pulls it out

Nah he's currently in the 9th grade. His first pass in the Van Alstyne game was a 40+yd strike for a TD right before halftime.

I keep reading where some of you are predicting Lumberton will move back up to 5A next realignment. That seems silly to me considering that Lumberton's snapshot # decreased over the last 4 years (1222 down to 1215) while the UIL cutoff to move up to 5A consistently goes up each time. Maybe you guys know something that I don't but it seems pretty clear that Lumberton will still be 4AD1 at the next realignment. To have an intelligent discussion about this, someone could pull up the last 5 UIL cutoff #s and compare that trend to the less than 2% average annual growth in enrollment at LHS over that same time period. Maybe you guys are teaching that new Common Core curriculum math in your district but UIL #s and LHS #s seem pretty basic, You only have to know how to add, subtract and occasionally divide to figure this stuff out. Use Excel if it gets too difficult.

Lumberton won 2 gimme playoff games I mean thats great and all but we have some true contenders still playing that we could be following . Time to lock this one down !👀 😄 👀

This is going to be a bad decision on the FBM coach for not wanting to play in a bigger stadium. Not only will he have to deal with fans on the other side but will have to also deal with PN fans on his side. Let’s go Indians!!!!!!

Got my tickets!

Wow. It could be a sea of Purple and White on both sides. It only Holds 10,300. We can almost fill that up. By ourselves.

Feeling like the old days in HTown today. [Hidden Content]

I was rushed making the list for this week. Couldn't find some game times/dates. Probably missed some good matchups. Also was avoiding Saturday games. I've always been surprised people pick so soon. Alot can happen in a week. Injures, weather, all kinds of things that could change the outcome. Although the last one to post hardly ever wins either. Keeping up with all this has enlightened me as to who actually knows what they're talking about. And who doesn't.

PNG Season- 11-2, 9 Game Winning Streak Season Totals- 451 Total pts. scored= 34.6 pts. a game. 255 Total pts. allowed= 19.6 pts. allowed a game. Defense had 2 shutouts. Playoff Games- 33.3 pts. scored a game. 21.3 pts. allowed a game. FT. BEND MARSHALL- 12-1, 11 Game Winning Streak Season Totals- 554 Total pts. scored= 42.6 pts. a game. 94 Total pts. allowed= 7.2 pts. allowed a game. Defense had 7 shutouts. Playoff Games- 53.3 pts. scored a game. 8.3 pts. allowed a game. 1 shutout.

Texan Live screwed up the night BH played and didn’t broadcast the game, so I didn’t get to see it. I keep hearing we should have won the game as we entered the 4th quarter with a 17-14 lead! Not sure what happened from the point as we gave up 21 points in the last 6 minutes of the game. I was surprised they beat Reedy last week after they knocked off Lancaster, but that’s high school football. I would have to believe Longview is the better more well rounded team and will take this one. Timberview is a run heavy team which should be contained by LV.

Longview needs to not sleep walk in the 1st quarter.

Maybe…

It was Euless Trinity Trojans with the upset…DLS was ranked #1 in the country too.

Believe me l know 😆. Being that l live in Dfw l’ve seen these powerhouse private schools manhandle some of our best teams. It’s not even close… Cedar Hill was killed by Bishop Gorman, Desoto killed by IMG and SFA, Dville killed by IMG and Mater Dei, Allen killed by St John Bosco…at halftime the game is already over. Plus l knew about Mater Dei and SJB recruiting because my coworker used to train some of the kids in LA.

Like most playoff games the team that shows up prepared the most will win. FBM will be favored. But I think by a slim margin. PNG has to get off to a good start and stay on the accelerator for 4 quarters. Go Indians!

He’s actually not a Nederland person. He’s a Nederland hater….

And that's why comparing them to any of the public school powerhouses is useless. It would be like taking some of the best pieces from all the schools in Houston and putting together a team. No doubt they would play neck and neck with those kids.

PNG is still in contention and always root for them. Would absolutely love for the Indians to win. Just being realistic on the probable outcome

Silsbee is pretty balanced on offense. 2659 yards passing and 2794 yards rushing thru 13 games. (420 yards per game, 205 passing, 215 rushing) Brisbane is 137-232 (59%) 2659 yards, 34 TD's 5 INT's Miller has 55 receptions for 1300 yards and 18 TD's Cartwright has 33 receptions for 602 yards and 8 TD's The TD maker Jayron Williams has 12 total TD's (8 rushing, 4 receiving) on just 27 offensive touches. He also leads the defense with 167 tackles, 34 TFL, 9 sacks, 1 INT.

PNG shot there self in foot last game. When your down by 14 in first 5 minutes of a game you play different. When your down 7 your still in it. If PNG has no turnovers and play up to there potential. They have a very good chance of winning. Represent 409

Ya mean like PNG did to LBJ?

I think most people rightly understand that Fort Bend Marshall is the strong favorite, but know that Port Neches-Groves CAN win if the ball falls their way and they play mistake-free. Stranger things have happened. And, it’s harder to beat a team twice than it is to beat a team once, and PNG only has to win once. Also, PnG got to learn from the loss to FBM. What did FBM learn from PNg? That they were way better than us? Good. Let them come into the game comfortable with that knowledge.

I won't start doubting this team now. Scalp'em Indians....That's what we do to Buffalo. .

If you take away the two costly turnovers that gave FBM 14 points in the ball game on punts this game is a different story. We were way more physical than FBM and they were having players getting taken off the field all night due to the fact. 6-7 times as a matter of fact. Not to mention we also had our QB banged up and take of the field for a few series in this one. If PNG can limit the QB and RBs big plays defensively and play solid coverage down field we can win this game. Gonna need the defense to play inspired football and we need the offense to play a full 2 half's without the 3rd quarter lull we seem to have. If PNG can play all 4 qrts they can beat anyone left in this thing.

That is how winning programs act.

Look I’m sure the Perrault kid is amazing. But the best player on the best team in the district (on both sides of the ball) was a layup MVP. Add to that he rushed for almost 2500 yards (on way less Carries than you would think)? A QB would need to pass for about 3500 yards or have about 4-5k all purpose yards to put up similar numbers. I highly doubt that’s the case here. This was just another example of watering down awards to make sure everyone gets a ribbon. Been going on for years and it is what it is. Even when it’s as easy as it was here.

Lumberton's current enrollment is under the 5A number.

It was worse!

Win it all Silsbee. These Indians supporting you 1000%

Lol...you are PAM's fan version of 14.2...what a narcissistic clown... I said a few weeks back, most people don't get "impressed" by Longview but they don't win either.

I think Crosby scored more because they were more gimmicky. But, that only goes so far.

Probably going be worst. 4-6 maybe 5-5 for year 2

Senior day for maybe my all time favorite Longhorn. I think he still has a lot of football left in his career but he represents everything that college athletics should be about. Probably not what he envisioned (or what we envisioned) when he arrived at the 40 acres. But his time there won’t soon be forgotten by the Longhorn faithful. Well done Shug. You’ve made all of us proud.

It’ll get better partner. You need to go see a counselor. It’ll make things better and help put things in perspective. If you need help finding someone to talk to, PM me. I can get some names and numbers together. Remember, it’s ok to not feel ok and help is available.

You probably won’t.

What is worse than losing your star QB, losing your. Star Coach.

Very true. Does not mean you have to love football any less but you need to love God more.

Want a cookie? 🤷🏾‍♂️
