Awesome. Same - Good luck to SOC moving forward.

So, you admit that’s what SOC should have done last year? And they should universally apologize for trying to delegitimize PNG’s perfectly fair and inspiring win against a team that held all the cards and had every advantage, instead of hurling baseless and stupid accusations of cheating?

Do you suggest we file a poorly written, badly researched, and factually dishonest complaint with the UIL like SOC did last year?

The qb is from Arlington

I think PnG should rush four. Our linebackers aren’t doing much in pass coverage anyway, so we can send one of them right off the bat. Not a delayed rush, just a straight attack. If they’re going to pass or run the qb, at least make the line work for it.

So, that would have him at about 51 games, minus any he missed for injury.

Probably not an easy way to verify this, but I’m hoping there’s some PnG history sleuths who might be able to answer: Is Jackson Christian the player with most games played in PNG history? Unless I’m mistaken, he’s been a starter for the last four years. We played 13 (2021), 16 (2022), 16 (2023), and will have at least 14 this year. I know he missed the Port Arthur game in 2023. There may be some other games where he was injured and didn’t play. But, it’s pretty staggering to think about how many more played games he’s had than most players. A lot of guys get 10 whole games for their whole high school varsity career. He’s pushing around 59 (depending on what games he’s missed). For some sense of the scale, I think he was the only player from either Texas High or PNG who played in both the 2021 and 2024 games. In summary, is anyone aware of the following? (1) what his actual games played number is; and (2) if there has ever been another png player to play so many or more games? I’m not sure it’s possible anyone has matched his number. The other long stretch we had with deep playoff runs was from 1974-1977 and we played a total of 58 games in that stretch. We’re about to play our 59th game in this 2021-2024 stretch. There could theoretically be a freshman starter from the 1974-1977 who played in all four years and had 58 games under his belt. If Jackson missed a few games, he won’t be quite at 59 games played (depending on how you count games where he’s on the sideline injured). I know he missed last year’s Port Arthur game. Regardless of where he actually falls in the list, it’s clear he’s one of the best and most experienced players in PNG history. His leadership really showed last week.

If Randle makes it to state (highly likely) I think they’re the favorite against whoever makes it out of our side of the bracket. No one is perfect, but their defense is a massive challenge. Not allowing more than 14 points across 13 games is insane for a big school in the spread era, and they’ve played some solid programs.

That’s ridiculous. A perfect opportunity to raise their profile and perhaps find some new talent.

Not to mention holding Huntsville and Marshall to one score is proof positive of strong defense. It’s true that overall they haven’t played as many quality opponents as PnG, but they’ve played well when they did. And, they beat a 6A d2 regional finalist Longview team. We’re battle tested too, but SOC is ready for us.

I don’t think any ticket info has dropped. Usually it’s Monday morning.

About a year ago. I don’t know when he was being recruited, but that might have made a difference.

Indian Nation needs to mobilize. The YouTube broadcast is great, but if you can be there, be there. Give someone a ride. Get a ride. You can’t be loud from your living room. I understand health issues and work/family obligations, but to the extent you aren’t kept from traveling by something like that, we need the 12th Man to show up. Ask Texas High about how loud we can be. This isn’t a “I’ll watch from my recliner” week. This isn’t a “it looks like rain, maybe I won’t go” week. This is an old-fashioned, bring-your-umbrella-and-tough-it-out-with-your-team week. Wet butts dry; championships are forever. We wanted to play them outside of Dallas. Here they are. Let’s get loud.

Weird he didn’t go with one of them

TD’s whole message this season is a willingness to play anywhere. NRG would be fine for both. Alamodome too. Why not just play on Saturday?

Congratulations, La Porte!

Awesome

What I mean is we’ve had three chances to capitalize in short yardage that we didn’t take advantage of, which would have put us up by 2 scores (correcting from three) (edit) - up by one score. Math isn’t my strong suit

With the coaches?

(1) Just get out of bounds, that fumble should have never happened. (2) the play calling is killing us. We should be up by three tds. (3) kicking game is non-existent. (4) refs ignoring obvious pi right in front of them

I’m deeply concerned about our secondary. If we can’t hurry the QB, we better score 65.

Anyone reasonable knows PNG has a tall task ahead of them. This isn’t 2023’s team. We still need to see the defense gel into an aggressive, smart unit. But, and perhaps more importantly, this isn’t the 2021 team. In 2021 we weren’t at nearly the conditioning and coaching level we’re at now. Texas High beat us because we couldn’t keep up physically. Granted, Texas High has improved from 2021, and we’re rightly considered the underdogs. We can play with these guys. We just have to execute.

good season Huntsville! Tough loss.

Dang

Take advantage !
