Port Arthur Memorial improved to 7-0 overall this season and 5-0 against fellow District 8-5A DI teams by thrashing Baytown Goose Creek Memorial in a 63-13 blowout win during Week 8. The Titans have looked like the team to beat in Southeast Texas during a dominant first two months of the season. Led by senior quarterback Davion Wilson, the Titans have eclipsed 40-point mark five times this season thanks to a dangerous offense that has beaten teams badly on the ground and through the air this year. Port Arthur Memorial is poised to complete an undefeated run to the District 8-5A DI championship after walloping most of its district competition to date. The Titans eked out pivotal district wins in defensive duels against Crosby (20-13) and Porter (18-17) with a 48-7 blowout victory over Baytown Sterling. But since the start of October, however, Port Arthur Memorial has played its two finest games of the year with blowout wins against Goose Creek Memorial and La Porte (54-34). The Titans secured a 20-point road victory against La Porte despite being outgained in terms of total yardage offensively thanks to three combined defensive and special teams touchdowns that made the difference. They also seized the largest victory of the year to date — a 50-point win against Baytown Goose Creek Memorial during Week 8 — after putting up more than 500 total yards of offense in their highest-scoring game of the season. Port Arthur Memorial, which moved up nine spots from No. 40 to 31 in this week's Texas Top 50 power rankings, will look to stay hot this week against Baytown Lee (3-4, 1-4) at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 21 , at Stallworth Stadium in Baytown. SBLive’s Texas Top 50 football rankings are compiled by Andrew McCulloch and Buck Ringgold, and are updated weekly throughout the regular season.

Great job by Coach Snell & the Hardin Vball ladies the last 20 plus years.

I agree & that was discussed a few weeks back as to one the factors of Nederlands struggles. Several of the soph's would have been on varsity getting exp. as back ups with a couple starting this year not the 6 to 8 starting, even without others deciding not to play. It's all good tho, this year went south, just got to finish out the year playing hard. All that's happened this year should make these guys coming back mentally tougher & better team next year. Nederland should also have 7 to 8 starters back the next couple years on both sides of the ball, plus all those other young guys that should be on "JV" are getting varsity game reps this year & a solid freshmen group will add solid depth. I also think the coaching staff believes in these players, will be very motivated to get back to winning games & back in the playoffs next year. Stay positive with the young dawgs my friend, being negative & angry all the time will give you a stroke. Mike Hiltz

I'm going with Nederland to adjust & overcome to pull out the win over G.P.

You are welcome. I just wish you had an explanation to why an 8 decade long Nederland football fan, former bulldog player & guy that pulls for the bulldogs to win every game to this day constantly posts negativity towards today's Nederland Football coaches\players. What or who are you scared of in Nederland that you can't put your real name on it. Truth is you probably give ole Coach Barrow a big fake hug if you met him in person & tell his staff they are doing a great job considering the bad players they have. I will be at the G.P. game Friday nite visitors side, top row, next to press box, score board side. You are more then welcome to come sit & chat some football with me & the father in law. I will buy the popcorn. We might even agree on more then you think in person😎 Sincerely Your Football Friend, Mike Hiltz

Here you go again is right, going on a few years now with your Nederland Football love. You stated you starting to think I am a parent that says coach please play my son with the next best 10. I agree those 2 are pretty good, there are several more that are pretty good also. That possible good RB is a very good all around athlete who can play multiple positions. Down years happen sometimes, several factors cause it. I would love to explain to you if i knew who you were, not really worth anyone's time discussing football with spiderman. Put you real name on your disgust of Nederland football. Like I said 8-2 & 7-3 is 2 solid seasons. Looked thru the records & i guess they are wrong didn't see back to back years of 8-2 & 7-3 for Nederland before multiple teams made playoffs. What years was that? Who are you? What position did you play? Did you start? Did your parents beg coaches to play you with the next best 10? I like football history, I have so many questions you could probably answer with your vast knowledge of Nederland Football that would strengthen my football philosophy. I will be at the G.P. game Friday nite visitors side, top row, next to press box, score board side. You are more then welcome to come sit & chat some football with me & the father in law.

Interesting I could have sworn you asked me what players had talent at Nederland because you didn't see any from the games you attended & I might have even listed some players for you, that you still said were not that good. I'd have to go back a couple years to check all your negative posts about Nederland players & coaches, but i'm pretty sure the main understanding you want people to believe is Nederland players have no talent, my bad not much talent & the coaches are all failures at all levels. Maybe you need to check your reading skills because I posted who I am & it's not a parent with any kids playing. Never begged anyone to play my son in sports at Nederland. Landon Hiltz was good enough to earn his varsity starting spots in football\baseball for 3 years. Probably would have been a solid PG to help out in basketball also, but football\ baseball were more important to him. Never was a fan of juice & snacks in pee wee football. 8-2 & 7-3 is 2 solid seasons. What years was that? Who are you? What position did you play? Did you start? Did your parents beg coaches to play you with the next best 10? What coaches were the best?

Never said Nederland wasn't having a bad season or they would be a good team this year. IK all about facts, just respect coaches & players out there working hard more then you to mouth off weekly on a mess. board under a screen name that they suck. I disagree with you on your belief none of the Nederland players have talent & all the coaches\players are not working hard every day to be good. If your so passionate about Nederland being good every year that you post nothing but negative comments about coaches & players then put your name on it. My "bashing" or calling you out is pretty soft but since you feel bashed I will stop responding. Just out of curiosity what was the Nederland teams records the years you played varsity football? Did the coaches meet your standards of being good? Did the players have talent?

Nothing getting wodded up with me. I like this lay it all on the table kinda party. You the one with all the negative opinions about Nederland Football coaches\players back to the Neuman glory days. It has to matter to you & be a personal issue to trash your hometown Nederland program every chance you get?? Who you is, tax payer man 🤣 Mike Hiltz 711 16th St. Nederland, Tx Nederland Tax Payer since 1996 P.S. I really do not have personal issues & even do not agree or like some of the NISD Admins, a couple board members, a few coaches, especially basketball & a hand full of some home grown NISD favorites, but unlike you all those people know this based on our face to face interactions & discussions.

Personal reasons to do what? My inlaws been Nederland tax payers since the '40's, whats your point? Who you is Mr. tax payer?

Been around Nederland sports since late 80's, cousin played db on '88 team David Walker. My wife is a '87 Ned grad. met her in '96, married in '97. She's a 30 year great NISD math teacher at C.O. WILSON JR. High. Nederland coaches know me, personal friends not so much, maybe 1 might say he likes me, most of the school coaches probably don't care for me from my non participating role in the sucking up program to get kids playing time. Had a few nephews play football & baseball for Nederland High(2008-2015), 2 sons play football\baseball & basketball(2015-2019) & 2 nephews in 9th grade playing football\basketball & baseball rt. now. Mike Hiltz Now who is you & what is your connection\concern with Nederland Football, What say you, Reagan & Spiderman?

Whatever you tell yourself to make you think it is not an anger & bad emotional problem you have with Nederland coaches & players to consistently & constantly post they are not good at any area of football the last couple years, Spidey. It's all good tho, it is just kind of hard to take you seriously & understand this weekly negative beat down of only Nederland, when other local teams are bad also not knowing why or who you are to even care so much about the Dawgs. Like i said before I will be on the visitors side at home games, at the top, next to press box scoreboard side if you ever need to get this Coach Barrow\Nederland hostility off your chest or just talk football or sports in general. Myself & the SETXSPORTS community is here to help curb your negativity man. Sincerely your football friend, Mike Hiltz

Ole spidey is dealing with some long term Nederland Football jealousy, built up anger & mental anguish caused by incidents that did not go his or her way in the past to be ranting negatively on coaches, players & fans for so many years. I have offered support & an ear to talk about this hate issue. But can't seem to get thru to spidey to even sit at some games to talk football or even put his or her name on one of the many negative posts, so maybe someone in the setxsports or Nederland community can get him or her over this hurtful & tramatic bulldog experience.

If that is all true, that was one hell of a good a🙊🙊 8 page offensive playbook & some damn good QB's Faircloth did not teach how to read defenses or go thru progressions in 12 years. Down right more amazing Mr. Faircloth won as many games & was as successful as he was without a novel sized playbook & not teaching his players the basics of being a QB.

Interesting.....

Congrats to the pirates & the savvy veteran head coach Matthews on the win. I fell for the Peavey hype & his battlin bears let me down on my pick’ems😖

P.A. brought the A game to LaPorte Tx. tonite. Nice job by the coaches & players.

Peavey is a very good coach, but West Brook would still be struggling the same this year if he was still head coach. IMO

How many school board meetings was Reagan at demanding a better coach be hired then Larry Neuman? Can't wait to see who this person is when he shows up at the "right time" giving his opinion to the school board why Barrow needs to be fired & any other "home grown" staff members at NISD need to be gone also.

Hold up, Uncle Larry had to spend his 1st 7 years fixing what B. August had set up
