As an old high school sports junkie, if you've made it this far, you're a good football team. Period. The Pirates have proven they are a good football team on the Texas state level as has Angleton. One stat I think getting left out is that we force a lot of turnovers. Turnovers cost Montgomery against my Pirates and I believe it will be the difference against Angleton. I cannot speak for Angleton but the Pirates are a disciplined football team, in outstanding physical shape, well coached and we play with a lot of heart. Personally, I think we "let up" against Montgomery when we got such a big lead with 7:15 to play in the fourth. BIG MISTAKE against teams with great programs like the Bears. I expect Jeff to be more aware of this situation should it happen with Angleton. However, I expect the game will be close and dictated again by who turns the ball over.

Let's all remember that the Indians barely lost to a Dayton team that was a member of 20-4A. They're 20-4A by proxy!!!!1

Literally wearing the "N" in my window.... [move][size=36pt][font=trebuchet ms][b]GO BULLDOGS!!![/b][/font][/size][/move]

I just wish we could have covered it with a little "Quirante" sauce. Maybe now some of these knuckleheads will play us pre-district....

[quote name="Mr. Buddy Garrity" post="1124696" timestamp="1321748741"] Let's bring Dayton too. Lol [/quote] Weren't they once a member of our district? Once 20-4A, always 20-4A!!!! GO BRONCOS!!!

BTW.........all that "D1" talent, #19 national ranking, and #3 state ranking means NOTHING when faith, heart, determination, talent, skill, and leadership all come together at once. Congrats on a great season though Brenham, but the Panthers are so hot right now!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D [/quote] I love the PearOrchardPanther logo. Some of us are old enough to know where the Pear Orchard is. Mighty Pirate band looked a little like the great Panther band last night, did a little more than just marched.

I'm on my knees praying again....We both only have one more game to win to get the magical rematch I dream about for the Region III championship. The competition for both teams will be extremely tough....not much more to be said about it. Play your hearts out guys...I would put it in old English but we don't have that font choice. BTW, if you look on the back of my work car, one of ya'lls' fellow knuckleheads put the "N" on the back windshield next to the Pirate flag. It stays there until you lose....

Great Job Panthers. You know how we Pirates feel about ya'll. Lotta love from Snuff Gulley. REPRESENT PANTHERS!!!

EZDawg, we probably totally agree and are just trying to say the same thing. This will be good conversation in the stands for the Region III championship between our schools at the PUS.

[quote name="7mary3" post="1123958" timestamp="1321733333"] Kind of reminds me of Lumberton a few years back...doesn't matter to me, get after it and knock yourself out Pirates.

You deserve it by winning more district games. I'm not a fan of 4 teams in the playoffs in a district with 8 teams. It teaches mediocrity. Three should be the max , IMO, in a district with 8 teams, and 2 teams with a 6 team district. Sure it's great that Ozen is doing well, but I bet there are not many other 4th place teams still in the playoffs. It's more the exception than the rule. Growing up, I can never remember being excited in the 100m dash when I finished in 4th place out of 8 runners. [/quote] No problem EZDawg and I agree with you about our spoiled kid. I like California's way of doing it, I work there quite a bit, maybe we should split the state. I don't know the answer... Fellas, I don't think the issue is sending so many teams. It's the fact that Texas has so many kids in school it's hard demographically to make districts that are fair travel and otherwise to all the teams. It's either we take 4A and make two divisions out of it or we make 4A or add more As on the top end (7A?) and the teams travel across the state according to their size. There are a heck of a lot more kids and schools now than there were in the 70s when I was a kid. It's no more unrealistic now than when we (Vidor) had to play in a 5A district in the 90s when we had the same number of kids as PNG or Nederland. We played in 4 team districts in the 70s. Simple math. [/quote] I understand where you're coming from with travel and all, but back when you and I played, only the best team (s) made it to the playoffs, and it made it so that every game in district was important. Football (and sports in general) teach kids how to approach life. For example, I've observed a lot of young kids who want to work a 30 hour week and get paid a 40 hour week. Just look at the direction our country is going. I know AAW, we are suppose to discuss this in the political forum-sorry.  8) For me, it's more about the bigger picture...Again, JMO. [/quote]

[quote name="FootBFan" post="1124633" timestamp="1321745982"] Its because of the redistricting and Realignments of  the schools [/quote] California has to do the same thing. They split the state in half and the winners north and south play each other in a state championship. It's an issue for both states due to their size geographically and demographically. Think about this since the thread is about throwing everything back to the way it was in the 70s-80s, what if you couldn't make a school with over 2000 students? How many more schools would there be in Texas then????

Well, us Vidorians who like high school football are usually watching someone else this time of year. Continue on your journey and represent Orange County, GO MUSTANGS!!!

We beat a real good football team last night. I don't put anything past our kids anymore.

[quote name="invictus" post="1123488" timestamp="1321716450"] Even if they hadn't won a single game, we'd still be proud of them.  I think every little boy in Vidor grows up wanting to play football for the Pirates (even my son and he only lived there 2 years).  They all believe they are going to be "different" than the past and win.  These boys are exceeding everyone's expectations and are still going strong.  Someone said these are good memories for them.  These are good memories for the entire city and for anyone who ever graduated from Vidor High School. My dad was a senior in 1964.  He is so proud of this team, he's had a smile on his face for weeks. [/quote] I agree invictus....I endured the Interstate 10, Vidor 0 jokes and the 0-44 losing streak we went through. Couple that with the "racist" brand we've had to carry and it makes these kids all that more special. Our community has always centered around the school and that football team and we fill the stands even when we can only win one game.
