West Orange missed the playoffs in 1999 with a 7-3 record and in 2002 and 2003 with an 8-2 record. Nederland has only missed the playoffs since 1993 five times: in 1994,1995,2016,2021 and 2022.
Ok - So, that goes to my point. West Orange was better than a lot of teams that made the playoffs across the state that year. Would they have made it to state? Who knows. But, it wouldn’t have hurt to have West Orange in, and they might have shaken things up.

Nederland did not sit at home in 1999 playoffs? They was Co-district champs. They lost to eventual state champions Texas City in the quarterfinals.
Nederland made the playoffs every year from 1996-2006 2007 season they didn’t then started a streak again..
Without digging too much I think since 1996 Nederland has not qualified for the playoffs you can count on 1 hand…
Thanks - I thought it was West Orange that made it, not Nederland.

Unfortunately, I hate to say this, but I think the end result of this game will show the fallacy of 4 teams in the playoffs. The playoffs used to be something of pride. Now for the first and second place teams it still is. Why did they go to 3 and 4? Is it playoff money for schools? The touchy-feely thought of working towards "everybody gets a participation ribbon?" I tend to lean towards the former. If it's the latter, why not allow all the teams to make the playoffs? Come close the circle and complete the joke!
Ned beating all the weak teams to gain a "playoff" spot, really, is this a badge of honor? If you end up getting embarrassed because you really shouldn't be there, where's the honor? Concerning this, being the tallest midget in the room doesn't help much!
I'm more concerned with the UIL changing this so not to put teams like this in an bad situation. I've seen 2-8 and 3-7 teams make the playoffs. Really?! Thoughts?!
(1) UIL collects revenue from playoff games. More games = $$
(2) I like four teams in, and more teams solves a couple problems while not depriving the playoffs of what makes playoffs great. In the old days, teams were often punished for being in good districts. In 1999, state-ranked Nederland team sat at home because West Orange and PNG beat them. Both West Orange and PnG made good playoff runs, and it’s reasonable to expect Nederland would have as well. Far weaker teams than Nederland across the state made the playoffs because they were in weaker districts. I see the dilutive effect of adding more teams, but only if “making the playoffs” is the prize I’m protecting. But, our goal isn’t to see who can make the playoffs. Our goal is to arrive at the best team in the state via a single-elimination tournament. More teams doesn’t hurt that, and there have been four seeds who made it really far (I want to say some have made it to state because I remember hearing that from Dave Campbell’s, but I don’t know for certain).

Disregard, there’s already a thread on this below, I just missed it.

I don’t see a thread for this one yet. This is likely going to be the most competitive first round game between two really good teams in 5aD2, Region 3. Randle’s offense vs FBM’s speed, size, and defense. Randle has only lost to undefeated Lake Creek. FBM averaged just over 10 points a game on defense. I have a hunch FBM has a little more in this game. I’ll take FBM by three.

Shae did play 2 plays Friday night. He took the last 2 snaps.
Right- I mean actually play.
-
Any word on whether Shae Adams will play this week? If so, in what capacity? It seems a waste to have a perfectly capable qb already and put him on the sidelines, when you could have Shae all over the field terrifying defenses and defensive coordinators, with Bailey at QB.

I’m a Bulldog for life, but if that was to happen, let me just say PNG would possibly be STATE CHAMPIONS. Seriously no district in their right minds would not like to have a RB of that caliber. I feel if they get a new coaching staff maybe thinks will turn around, they can’t afford to lose any players to be honest. I don’t see him leaving though.
His speed would be killer in the playoffs. Scary. Especially paired with Chatagnier’s bruiser-style running. In Mid County Madness, I almost found myself wanting him to get more big runs just because it’s cool to watch that level of speed and agility. But (and not to kick Nederland while they’re down) there was hardly any blocking for him. He was on his own, and the confusing part is some of the plays seemed designed to put him on his own. No Rb can overcome that.

Well idk about pulling of the strings stuff, but the juniors are a close knit group so I think they'll all come back. Hubert Thomas is the only one that I think could possibly leave because of the weak O-line. Was talk of him leaving last year, by the way this season is going to end I wonder if Barrow will keep his job or be forced to resign!? Because by the way things are looking this playoff game is going to be rough!! Goodluck to em though
Someone ask Hubert what he thinks about the color purple.

I think PnG will be ok. Brenham is soft on defense, and doesn’t have a lot on offense. Not to mention being pretty mistake-prone. I expect a comfortable 42-21 PNG win.

Sorry for the loss, PAM. That one’s tough.

Just have to play the games now. Rankings are fun, but they’re rat poison. Last year, unranked PNG beat three top ten teams on the way to state. This year, I wish we weren’t ranked, as fun as it is to see statewide recognition of where the program is. The only thing that matters is the next play.

Good work PNG! Undefeated outright district champs!

Nederland D must be playing pretty well.

Is there a live stream of this one?

Does Baytown Lee go 5ADII with this number or opt up to 5ADI?
If they go 5ADII and Splendora moves up, wouldn’t that force the Fort Bend ISD schools to move out of 9-5ADII?
I hope not. I’d rather have FBM than Splendora and Lee.

I’ve been watching some Brenham game film. Waiting to see how they do against Montgomery Lake Creek, but they’re not particularly scary. Maybe worse than last year, which isn’t to say they’re bad this year. Just not much of a punch. Not a lot of size, not particularly fast, prone to dumb mistakes, and not well-conditioned. I’d be 50/50 on who wins between Brenham and Nederland. Reminds me of Dayton - they do what they do well, but it’s not that hard to stop them from doing it, and they’re soft of defense. With a garbage time touchdown from them, I think we’re looking at a 42-21 PNG win. This isn’t to discount them - Brenham is a tradition-rich, consistently high-performing program, with strong fan support. They aren’t going to roll over. But, PNG’s defense is too good for Brenham and our offense is going to score. I will say a big advantage Brenham might have is they’ve been playing tough, competitive games, and they’ll go from Lake Creek (who will likely beat them) to us, while we’ve had few competitive minutes since Texas City, and will play a cupcake this week. The team that’s had to fight and scrape always has a competitive edge over a team that has been rolling over people. Png might get shocked if Brenham comes out and punches us in the mouth.

I’ve said for a while now that Texas City deserves to be ranked in the DCTF Top 10. I stand by that now. Texas City by 10+.
Texas City might be a mirror of PNG last season. Their only loss was to a top-ten team (Last year, PNG’s only district loss was to top-ten FBM) and that loss has kept them out of top ten consideration and kept them in a dark horse status. But, they have very few weaknesses, and keep winning. I wouldn’t be surprised if we met them again in the postseason.
