NDNWarrior

I would love to see Newton (my alma mater), play at the Reservation in the first round of the playoffs! PNG NDN! Newton Eagle!

Hey, mine too! ;D : ;D

I think Central will take this one.

LOL....all of our games this year, so far, have been "on the road"! I'm glad to finally not have to drive this week! Best of luck to the Dogs!

Good news, Yankee Dog......I will keep you and your family in my prayers! Take care of yourself.

We had "bleacher creechers" at MCM, no shirts, torsos completely painted purple and white with PNG and Indian warpaint. I don't see anything wrong with this...its another expression of team support.

I think its a great idea to have a teepee at the Reservation...there's plenty of room for one. The rich tradition of the PNG Indians would be accentuated with one. Hmm......we should suggest.

Hmmmm.....ok? ???

I agree, with you Nederland Dog....I'll be pullin for Nederland when they match up with Central. Is the game at Central or Nederland? I

The "New" Reservation is MAGNIFICENT! These pictures just doesn't do it justice. It will be the BEST stadium in Southeast Texas, no doubt! Go INDIANS!!!!!

Nederland always has problems with Central. Central is fired up this year. Sorry, but I don't see Nederland going undefeated in district.

Should be a good one! Pulling for Newton! ;D

I grew up in Newton and Barbay is a MAJOR influence on tradition and winning. Before him, Lidney Thompson was the Head Coach, and he too, was instrumental in developing a winning team. Parents, teachers, and the whole community of Newton got into the act and helped to keep the tradition alive and well. In college, I met a girl from PNG and married her....26 years ago. We moved to Groves, and thank God, I was able to keep all my "purple and white" shirts....but, I remember the first time I went to a PNG game (Newton used to always, always look up to PNG in the 70's, the powerhouse of high school football), I heard the drums, saw a multitude of fans, and the whole excitement of the game. Added to this, the team was very good. I think all of this encomapasses a winning tradition....the players with their skills and abilities, the band, mascot, drill team, and fans with their excitement and expectations. All of these components work together to develop a "winning" tradition...I know at PNG, the support is there whether we are winning or losing. I happen to agree, I think MCM is the BEST high school football game in this area, not to take away from other rivalries because of what I mentioned earlier. Back in the 70's, in Newton, it was the rivalry between Newton and the Kirbyville Wildcats, at which time I thought there could not be any better rivalry. Ever how you deifine a "winning" tradition, it all boils down to the students themselves and the efforts they put forth. No of us would be enjoying "Friday Night Lights" if it were for those dedicated players, band, cheerleaders, mascots, and drill teams that are represented each week.

I think the reference here, is to PLAYOFF attendance, not Mid County Madness. If I remember correctly, last year, when PNG won MCM, I didn't see that many Ned fans left in the 3rd quarter as well. It doesn't matter, "true" fans will stay to the bitter end, whether you are winning or losing. ;D

PNG's loss to Nederland was not due to officiating. There were some questionable calls. PNG just were outplayed and got their butts beat! Suck it up, and move on...it was a learning experience, and PNG will continue to improve and make it to the playoffs.

Grogan is good, no doubt about that, and he will only get better. But, Mosely was a total package.....have to give Mosely my vote on this one.

Since it is homecoming, and the opening of our new stadium, the NDN's will be on the warpath, added to the fact, that the INDIAN fans will be out in full force. If you have not had a chance to see our new stadium, it is AMAZING! The scoreboard is magnificent! One word for the new PNG stadium: SPECTACULAR!

Nederland, you won fair and square Saturday nite. Not taking anything from your win. But, when it comes to playoffs and State Championships, sorry, you lose. PNG has the BETTER record...you have yet to attain the noterioty that PNG has, not only in State Championships appearances, but also, in fan base and following. Sorry, thats just the way it is! I-N-D-I-A-N-S, Scalp 'em, Indians, Scalp 'em!

Hmmmm....I think I hear the puppies sulking! Sorry, Ned, making it to the second round in playoffs, doesn't hold up to State Championships. Read it and weep!

Dayton will take this one.

Sorry, Ned fans, you will NEVER have the attendance at playoff games like PNG. It seems to me that Nederland fans continue to get upset because their fan following is not as great as that of PNG. Maybe, one day, you will!

WOW!!!! Makes me very proud to be an Indian!!! GREAT POST!!!!!

Prayers from PNG Indians!

Wow. bitter much? I agree, really bitter. Something must have happened in order for you to be full of so much hate! Hmmmmmmm....... ??? ??? ???
