Nederland and PNG generally have the same type athletes. Not a lot of D1 guys walking the halls of either school. It’s all about system and culture for both schools. That’s coaching.

I have tried to explain a million times. It’s not arrogance, cockiness, or disrespect. It’s simply SWAG. I started out my school days on an election year. The teachers gave us a choice to be republican, democrat, or independent. I chose Independent simply because it allowed me to wear an I on my shirt all day, of course it was crayoned purple. It’s said we are taught Cherokee day 1. That’s actually a myth, we all knew it by heart before the alphabet. Most will never understand, I have even heard of us being called the “The Purple Cult”… once again, it’s just misunderstood. Ironically, our rivals understand it the best. That’s why you see all of mid county supporting our games. I grew up in the 80s, hearing about the 70s, in a time we were led by a great guy, just not a good coach. That all changed in 89. In came Danny Malone. And he brought that SWAG back, Burnett carried it on, Fairclothe carried the torch, now Joseph continues the tradition. So what started out as playing football at recess, dreaming of being an Indian, ends with a shot at a SC this Friday. We are no longer a powerhouse, we are not a place people want to move or transfer to, we are just PNG Indians. Not the biggest, fastest, or strongest. Just a team playing with heart and support. These kids are dogs, they come to play and don’t quit. Always the underdog, yet playing week 16. A proud community, wanting a SC and that attendance record back. So for all of you who don’t understand us, we don’t expect you too. But we will say this, come be part of the family Friday night. You won’t regret the experience. A big joke on this board is ATMOSPHERE…. Come be part of it Friday, and make history. You won’t regret it. No matter what team or color you represent or bleed, we are one big ole family this Friday. Peace…. love…..

I want to make the trip from Orange up there but not sure if it will work out, may have to watch at home. Either way this Mustang will be pulling for you! I’ve always had tons of respect and admiration for PN-G. The history, the culture, the die hard fanatic fans, it’s everything that Texas high school football should be. Please don’t ever change anything. Go Indians!!!

I would like to say a BIG thank you to all of our SETX family for your support. Please join us and be a part of the PNG family next Friday night. We appreciate you all and those who can make it. Last week I saw reps from every school in SETX. It was so heart warming to see all of the support. Thank you all.

I saw him too. Thought about alot more people than KT tho. Donated to LCM twice ✌🤣

My buddy says leaving Houston at that time on a friday... expect 5-5.5 hours. They actually go thru Waco and ft worth. I always preferred Waxahachie, Midlothian, then straight up the toll road to Arlington. But we always left the day or night before, then had a short drive to the stadium that morning. Whatever you do, be safe. Arrive Alive! That goes for everyone from around the area and state. Safe travels and be sure to stop at Buc-ee's

Pete Ragusa is a top 5 player in the area and should get more love, kid put a lot of work in this summer , keep showing em’ soon enough they’ll come around !!!!

Newton too. I live in Newton and graduated from PN -G in 1961.

Championship Final Vidor 56 Orangefield 61

Also, a willingness to be coached, taught, instructed, and being part of a unit.

Have you seen DeSoto's Offensive Line they have some earth movers too and they ran all over South Oak Cliff earlier this year

You could 😂😂

The parents were seeking asylum, they were not breaking the law. It is inhumane to lock kids in cages, no matter what the reason is. Reread the scripture LumRaiderFan posted.

I think DCTF is underestimating the PNG OL they have some very big guys all 5 to be exact.

I’m taking PNG! SOC may not know about the can of whoop-ass coming their way.

He is #14.... I" was saying he needs more playing time. Kid can shoot. And Boulwen #30 we need his size 6'4 and Williams 6'3 and Harper 6'2 ... And I" haven't seen Kye Elders eather play yet 6'0. Rice 6'5 and Dean is 6'3 Miller 6'2 and Harris 6'4.. Silsbee has some size. They just need to figure it out. And they will..! 🐅🏀

Looks like I’m heading to Dallas to catch this one. PNG by 7

Has @Reaganbeen somewhat right this whole time??

No sir. Taxpayer of WOCCISD. I don't live in Lumberton, rep LCM, and claim Silsbee. Thanks for playing... keep it movin

If Port Neches plays like they have been they will win.

Should be in the ticket thread now.

@PN-G bamatex did you post that discount code for fans to use when getting their tickets? I think @PhatMack19 had mentioned it in another thread.

Not only Katy but I wouldn’t be surprised if some big time 6A programs will be calling from DFW area….

Most talented part of the country IMO. Throw in SOC and Cedar Hill which are very close. Couple that with loose restrictions on where kids go to school, or even worse, people turning a blind eye to where kids go to school, and you have loaded rosters.

Wouldn't be surprised if PNG wins State and their HC and/or DC bolts to Katy if Daddy Joseph retires his post at Katy. Just saying. #txhsfbplayoffs #txhsfb

Obviously the L-Train would have taken a big L against Boerne if they would have played them. But I can't help but be happy that Chappell Hill got B-slapped last night. Sometimes you get to see fan bases get what they deserve. Not always, but last night was one of them.

Longview fans were talking about this is the easiest path to state… welp…

Dville 41-0 Final

It really is ridiculous…..

I think Boulwin

No dispute. Just emphasizing.

United 72 Canyon 55 final

Bring it home PNG!

I'll say this, if UIL ever starts determining classifications based on# of houses built or population growth, Lumberton is in trouble. But because UIL only looks at enrollment in grades 9-12, Lumberton will rain in 4A for the foreseeable future.

Listening to the guys from Austin, Westlake lost their starting QB, three Olinemen, and that WR was playing hurt. I don't know if it's a testiment to Westlake's depth and or the weakness of the region overall......

Ill try to send it to you. Its on LISD webpage lol

Bmt. United 41 Corner Canyon ( Utah ) 27 halftime

PNG will get a discount code tomorrow. Tickets will be $15 instead of $20 with the code.

I would think just being the son of Gary Joseph would be enough pressure. Hall of fame expectations. Im sure his dad will be there for questions. Im sure Todd would be there to advertise his business on recruiting coaches. now every school will go through him to get a great coach!😜

SOC will have an elite defense, and a subpar offense. If PNG can eliminate the big play, they can win. They won’t score much against SOC. SOC will be very fast and physical. IMO, they are very sound on defense. Couple that with great players and lots of speed, and they will be tough. On offense, SOC is it very good. Huge up front. College sized kids, but over weight, and lazy. Their QB is not very good either, but at any point, with their speed, they can make a house call.

Why do these ADs try to make hero hires? An O Line coach from New York? If they passed on Barbay for this guy O’Malley needs to be fired immediately. I understand Lamar isn’t the most enticing job, but we could’ve done better. This will be no different than Morgan.

You'll see folks from all over the GT.

Words that haven’t been said about a PNG TEAM in how many years?

Coaching is important, but without players, it can only go so far; coaching is about getting the most out of what you have and building culture

Good coaching is important. Ask my buddy @WO-S 89 about coaching. Two tales of first year coaches.

And some of y`all think Carthage could win in 5A lol.

The trade wasn’t necessary. When did the Russkies get to be the ones who set the terms of the deal? Oh yeah, when weak a$$ Biden became president. Embarrassing and despicable. Say you’re a weak country without saying you’re a weak country.

Thank you for confirming moderates have no core political beliefs that they hold to. They can be swayed by the smooth talkers or vote against the best candidate simply because they don’t like them. The party platforms are vastly different and how someone can flip from one to the other can only be explained by them voting for who they like or against who they don’t like, policies never enter into it for many. It’s a very powerful low information voting bloc.

^ This staff has went above an beyond expectations. Great job PNG.
