I would like to say Thank you for all the support for the Port Neches-Groves Indians. You have been amazing on here. Several Indian fans have commented to me at the number of area schools supporting this seasons run. Last week I spent most of the time standing up between the two decks.I saw so many people representing their respective SETX schools. This past Friday night I saw someone from every school in SETX. A group of what look to be LCM football players, many from PAM, folks from Beaumont, WOS, Silsbee. Vidor, BC, Orangefield, many from Dayton, a guy from Crosby, several from Brenham, and a large contingent of Nederland Bulldogs there. I am in know way saying thats all these are the people I personnaly saw. First please if you make the game we welcome you, we thank you, and though I cant speak for everyone. I have been to many other teams games in my life. I remember driving to Houston to watch Central play in the Dome. Many years ago. I say all of this to say Thanks for your support not only on the game but the support from staff and members of the SETXSPORTS.COM site. You have been most gracious and covered us well. Thanks for the love and suppot.

Don't move the goal post. You said 7 years. Period.

That would make zero sense on Peevey's part.

So far, the first three championship games have not been "championship" games.

Be careful what you wish for

I think they really need to find someone with no ties and a proof of winning. Not saying like Joesph. But get someone who knows nothing m.

Just an observation on the last 2 semi games. Last year when the clock struck 0, the players went wild celebrating and rushed the field. All that work and they achieved their goal to get to state. This year when Shea took the knee in victory formation, there were hugs and handshakes. A lot more subdued and businesslike celebration. They expected to win and expected to be back at state. They have unfinished business to take care of. It may take a near perfect game to win, but I don’t doubt they can pull it off.

This will be the biggest test for the Indians. We must play fundamental/Disciplined ball for 4 quarters.

Coldspring is rooting for PNG TO BRING HOME THE STATE TITLE 🎊🎊😁😁🎉🎉🫶🏽🫶🏽💜💜🤍🤍

Yes they were. My memory isnt always so great but I saw several people from Lumberton.

Apparently Surratt wasn’t interested and BC wanted someone less rapey than your boy Briles.

SETX Football is a family! Like any family we have our individual disputes. However, rivals or not, we support any team going to the playoffs to do their best. Thank everyone for your support in the Indians run to state. God bless everyone through this Christmas season, in their travels & that it may be a blessed time for all this year! God made us all.

Awesome post. Btw, Lumberton was there too. Let’s go Indians!

One thing is certain. Every 7 years they will be hiring a new head man.

I told yall lol they are rough lol

It’s going to be tough getting a proven winner from out of the area just because of facilities…there are 2A schools with nicer facilities than orangefield has

Find someone with no ties to Orangefield

For all you “free thinking revolutionaries” out there, I’m done with your fascist rhetoric and fawning after a chicken hearted wannabe dictator. This is my last post. Choke on it.(though I reckon few, if any of you have the guts to watch all of it).

Spitting on the bear!!! Woke em up quick

May be 3-2. Franklin getting gashed by Mike Joes(who?) and nem

Albany 28-10 F

It's public info. It's $108k-$123k range based off experience

I also forgot that I spoke with two men who drove over from east texas one from Hemphill and the other Shelbyville. They drove over together.

I saw a lady in a Nederland shirt at NRG. I passed so fast and the crowd was big I didn’t stop, but I wanted to stop and thank her for wearing her shirt, and for coming. I thought that was really cool.

Zero Clue? Here is one simple clue, He is a OF alum and coached there already years ago under Flanigan (his mentor) Money isn't that much less than what he is at now at LCM. The OF job is still over 100k a year. Peevey is a simple man (NOT an insult by any means), he isn't greedy and looking for a huge payday. He would rather spread the money around to get good quality assistants and to have money for facility upgrades. Money isn't everything when you have a chance to "go home" Peevey to OF. Wheels in motion already If Peevey doesn't go, Chris Pachuca, Brandon Prouse, and Jeff Breaux are the front runners

Congrats to BC seems like they got a great dude! Next domino is Peevey to OF.

This is his 2nd year.

With that said if Bellville wins I’ll be making a name and probably getting banned shortly after 😂😂😂

I just read the Bellville / gilmer thread on smoaky.. I hope bellville beats em by 40, (a man can dream) my prediction bellville 35 gilmer 24. if bellville can just contain the speed and get after it at the line of scrimmage they should control the game, but we will see

I remember y'all only lost 3 games one year ...all 3 to Colmesneil......we always respected Chester because y'all had great teams those years too....

Yeah he will be missed.....you guys from Chester know how good a coach he was....lol

Dang - sorry to hear about this. He was a great coach, and always respected him. Prayers to the family and Bulldog Nation from your neighbors in Chester.

Love stories like this! Prayers for a happy and healthy retirement for Coach Foster and all the young people he helped!

Cool story

Or maybe Josh will turn B.C. into a consistent winner like he did at OF. Not like they were world beaters when he took over. Neither are going to win state championships but I bet he improves the program. And as I’ve stated many times, you won’t find a better AD. I personally have nothing but gratitude for the man and hope he has all the success in the world, even if it’s for a rival. Godspeed Coach Smalley. Your work here was much appreciated.

I saw much made on some of the sporting and gun forms where the (rightfully imo) complained about Trump pushing for the bump stock ban as part of the definition of a machinegun. The Fifth Circuit I believe has thrown out that ban saying that the ATF did not apply with the actual law on the definition of a machinegun. I agree but that’s not the point. Many people complained that Trump backed up the ban, expanding the definition of a machinegun, so maybe…. they look to the other party??? Okay, you disagree with Trump on that issue. But let’s look at the score for like minded conservatives. Border wall and heavy enforcement of the current laws: Trump - Yes Biden - No Cutting taxes by signing tax cut legislation: Trump - Yes Biden - No Opening up oil exploration: Trump - Yes Biden - No Backing Second Amendment and written definition of machinegun: Trump - No Biden - No So where do like thinking people turn because we don’t agree with Trump on one issue however, the other guy would do the same on the same issue? Trump vs. Biden on strong conservative beliefs: Trump: Yes-Yes-Yes-No Biden; No-No-No-No Any questions on the lesser of evils? Do you cut off your nose to spite your face? Let’s replace Trump’s name with Haley. Does it really change your beliefs, assuming you agree with the above? Whether a person likes Trump, Haley, DeSantis, etc., is Biden ever the answer if your conservative leaning candidate didn’t get the nomination?

There is no "if" about it. Smalley will named tonight.

well the sandlot football is over.....

The officials in this game were terrible for both sides. Player threw N elbow it was called but was explained that it wasn’t a player foul it was just a violation. I haven’t played ball in quite some time or checked a rule book but that’s a new one on me.

Westbrook Benjamin Timpson Albany Franklin Gunter Anna Bellville Aledo SOC North Shore DeSota

I hope and think Timpson will win in a close game. Tenaha, Timpson, Bobo and Blair.

I know that I do not have much dog in the fight but reading this I think there are a couple of things to note: 1. Travel - Yes United did travel to Arlington to play a game, but it was on a non school day, so students lost zero education by going there. The same as when they travel to Allen over Christmas. As much as we do not think about it, these are still students so being in class as much as they can is best. Beaumont is in no man's land, similar to the Odessa/Midland & Abilene. Look at who they are scheduling, Hobbs and other New Mexico schools, or down a level. Houston is two hours away for most non district games. United & Westbrook can travel there but many schools are not gonna travel East when they can find schools closer, so if they want a home game they have to find a way. Silsbee is one of the few, if only, schools that will agree to come to United or Westbrook. Many local schools will not for various reasons and Houston schools are not. So travel wise Beaumont, both schools, are stuck. They want a home game for the parents/students/fans to watch, they have to be creative. 2. Money - The schools that travel across the country are not paying for it. Many are being sponsored by the host or another company. DeSoto and Duncanville the past couple of years have had 5-6 high level D1 players on each team so people want to showcase them. Beaumont has had 1 or 2 so you are not going to have as many organizations hoping to have them play. Some will but not the major ones. They have to look local and Beaumont does not have the money that you see in Dallas Fort Worth or Houston. If they want to travel it will be the old way of sales and fundraisers. But everyone is struggling. 3. Tradition - As others have mentioned there are certain schools across the state that have that respect level. Argyle, Kimball, Carter, Madison, Brock, Silsbee, Yates, and now Washington. Year in and year out they are going to be good, and on any given night can give you a game (a few years ago the 4A state champ almost lost to the 1A state champ just saying). The coach knows that the teams will fight for 32 minutes and will push their players. This was that type of game. Silsbee has the tradition and the respect, so yes they may be 4A, and yes if they lose it might not look good to the ones with little knowledge, the real basketball people will know it is not that big of a deal. They know Silsbee is better than 1/2 to 2/3 of 6A teams and will be one of the final 8 teams playing in 4A in March. 4. Game Planning - Coaches want to play teams that can prepare them for the playoffs and future opponents. Besides the above mentioned 32 minutes of fight, Silsbee may run schemes and systems that United might see down the road. So why not try and play them to give the players a taste of that pressure style. So looking at the whole 4A comment while it makes sense if they were playing most 4A schools, it does not work in this case. United by playing Silsbee was able to get a quality opponent to come to them that will prepare them for district and the playoffs.

I don’t understand the point. Nobody here makes the BU schedule. Beating an irrelevant horse to make what point? BU has been to 3 state championships in a row. I think the man knows what he is doing. BU plays a soft pre-district schedule this year….. and? 3 state title games in a row, I’m sure Coach Green doesn’t care at all what the message board and middle school coaches think about his scheduling.

Pick 6 and safeties the difference in the game

Good Luck PNG ! Pulling for y'all to win it all ! Y'all are the best team on this side of the bracket . Carry us all and get that Championship !

Gonna be a helluva game!!! It will be won or lost in the trenches. Can PNG stop the dynamic running attack of SOC? Can PNGs o-line keep SOC d line pushed back enough to open gaps for Nguyen and Chatangier? Can PNG secondary stop SOC? Can PNG receivers win the one on one battles that SOC loading the box is going to create? Can PNG line hold up against the rush that is going to be coming on passing downs? I can't wait to find out the answers to these questions!!!! GO PNG!!!!

Since we're just throwing stuff to see what sticks. There's a BC alum on staff at Lamar?

I'm interested to see if he applies. But was actually making the point of... WHO would hire a line coach for AD? I don't think West Brook, West Hardin, or West Sabine would be that blind.

OF has a better community but BC has more money. If you are looking to retire in the next few years a pay jump at the end would help your benefits.

A rumor I have heard all year long as well. After BC previous coach got shipped out I think everyone thought this would happen with BC not hiring a HC. I couldn't see Peevey leaving LCM just yet.. I'd love for Smalley to stay, but they will show him the $ in BC.
