PN-G bamatex

The first full year under Crouch, several returning starters, and a good bit of support. That's a winning equation. LC-M will be a solid contender for a playoff birth, which shows serious improvement as compared to years past. I see the fourth playoff spot going to one of two teams: LC-M or Ozen.

Central - D. Heard will be offensive player of the year next year 2. PN-G - What Faircloth have done with the Indians last year was NOT a one hit wonder.  Just watch and see. 3. Nederland - If you want to win, you start Forney on offense, point blank. 4. Ozen - I don't know what was missing last year, but it sure in the heck wasn't athletes 5. Vidor - No question if they can move the ball...  Question will be on the defensive side of the ball... 6. LC-M - Crouch, this is not 3a ball here. 7. Livingston - No Quinton Jackson...  No Keke Johnson...  No playoffs. 8. Lumberton - No offense, but back to your rightful place. [/quote] We'll see about the top two positions. Faircloth has seriously ramped up the offseason program. You can expect PN-G to be a faster, more physical team next year. That being said, I still expect the Central game to be a toss-up, and I just don't see 20-4A being ruled by anyone other than PN-G or Central. While I'm at it, how many starters are returning for Central? We've lost Harmon, Dunbar, DeRon and two others, but [/quote] What were the records and standings of the JV teams in 20-4A ? Just curious . [/quote] I know PN-G's JV team went undefeated. I'm afraid I don't know the other records, though.

10-0 (only school in the state with undefeated Varsity [i]and[/i] JV) and no. Freshman and JV games take place during band practice.

I believe the PN-G girls team is playing Brenham Friday, but I don't know where or when.

PN-G took the district title in both boys and girls soccer and both teams are advancing to the playoffs.

[color=purple][b]Way to go, Indian Soccer![/b][/color] [quote]Tom Halliburton The Port Arthur News [b]BEAUMONT[/b] -- Just as it amazingly unfolded in football, Port Neches-Groves authored an identical script in soccer.   The Indians remarkably won another double-overtime game, 2-1, Friday night at Zaharias Stadium over Beaumont Central, ending the regular season with the top spot in their district by the narrowest of margins.   Coach Don Sandell's Tribe (21-1-3 and 13-1) duplicated the finish of Brandon Faircloth's gridiron Indians. Both needed to beat Central at Zaharias on the final regular-season night. Both needed two overtimes to pull it off.   PN-G will play Liberty in the 4A state playoff bidistrict round next weekend. The coaches will meet today to finalize the arrangements.   "It took a lot of hard work but it paid off," the fourth-year Indians chief said. "It's very rewarding. I had a feeling back in August that, with the way we worked, we had a chance to be a special team. I'm happy for the seniors."   Ninety minutes (eighty regulation and 10 in the first overtime) failed to produce any goal. Then the teams exploded for the three goals during the second 10-minute overtime. If the teams had been tied after two overtimes, Nederland would have been the district champion instead of PN-G. The double OT win enabled PN-G and Nederland to be tied 39-39 in the district's point system. PN-G owned the next tiebreaker by owning a one-goal head-to-head advantage in goal differential.   "It was a heck of a game," Central coach Tony Cox said, praising both sides. "PN-G deserves the top spot because they never gave up. I thought that big No. 10 (Greg Flores) was the difference for them."   Flores unlocked a 1-1 tie with 6:50 left in the second overtime. The Indians senior chipped in the winner from the mouth of the net after taking a long free kick from fellow senior Elver Uriostegui.   A midfield foul against Central enabled Uriostegui to restart play with a free kick.   Uriostegui had delivered a similar free kick just 30 seconds into the second overtime. That free kick set up sophomore Edwin Guerrero for the game's first goal.   Central responded two minutes later at the 7:30 mark when Servando Vizcaino ripped home a shot from the far right corner of the penalty box.   Both teams attempted 13 shots and a sensational perfomance by Jaguars' reserve keeper Sammy Lavador kept rejecting PN-G's bids to take the lead during the middle of the game.   "That's how even the game was and you have to give Tony (Cox) credit," Sandell said. "He had them ready to play." [b]PORT NECHES[/b] -- Seven seniors played their final regular-season home game on The Reservation Friday night as 38-4A district champion Port Neches-Groves blanked Beaumont Central 9-0.   The Lady Indians completed the regular campaign at 19-5 and a perfect 12-0 under ninth-year head coach Aimee Bates.   PN-G will meet Vidor next Friday night in the Class 4A girls bidistrict round. The game will start on Lamar University's new soccer complex at 6 p.m.   PN-G permitted 16 goals in 24 games but only one against district competition. The Lady Indians commanded a 4-0 halftime advantage.   One of those seniors, goalkeeper Tatum Crochet, delivered her team's 17th shutout.   Chloe Chiasson and Hayley Gerald scored three goals apiece, Natalie Hager added two and senior Katherine Hardy had one.[/quote] [Hidden Content]

[quote name="PNG Proud" post="774878" timestamp="1268272997"] Nederland (that's always so much fun) and Brenham (yes, payback). [/quote] You took the words right out of my mouth. Also, Central is pretty high on the list. I think that they'll be our fiercest competition in district play and that, once again, the district champion will emerge from the PN-G - Central game.

PN-G currently uses block scheduling. I believe Nederland and Vidor do as well. What do you need to know?

PN-G and Central will make up the top two positions in 20-4A with Nederland in a close third providing that they don't hit another tough break with injuries. The fourth position could go to anyone else.
