That drive is going to suck.

Dodge has only won 7 state championships. Where have our standards gone?

I say throw money at Art Briles. No reason not to. He’d be awesome.

I hate that - Crowd noise shouldn't be artificial. Any idiot can bang things together. Like putting ball bearings in steel drums -- it's just interfering with the game. I wish it wasn't tolerated.

Exactly - we're better with a tougher district.

Exactly - why not name names? They are public officials and answer to the people.

To Crosby, from the Reservation: Get some revenge for the Indians.

Better start the movement now. This is idiotic.

Thanks for joining in. As a png fan, it was good to have someone from up north to give some insight on the TH perspective. Hope you stick around.

West orange had a killer offense in 2015 and 2016

I’m not sure anyone actually ever cared or was actually offended by the Chain Gang. Local administrators just wanted to look they were doing something. I guarantee if they had asked the team to vote on it it would have never been changed. Call them the Chain Gang if you want. The Chain Gang sounds scary. The Blue Link sounds insultingly stupid and cheesy, like it’s something a Cub Scout den mother made up.

TH defensive line will be a handful for Crosby. My guess is Crosby wins by 10.

I watched both games. I think Crosby had the better defense against PNG. Hard to measure since both dominated, but against Crosby my sense was nothing we could do would work, while against TH the sense was if we would execute we’d be staying in the game.

It wasn’t targeting. But it was just as bad. It was a flagrant, unnecessary, late blindside hit. The player did “favor an arm” because that arm, from what we saw, is broken - they had to cut his shoulder pads off on the PNG sideline. He was on the ground for about five minutes. For no reason other than apparent malice, and completely uncalled for in a game where everything is going in favor of Texas High. I wouldn’t characterize the hit as anything other than an inexcusable cheap shot, and the kid who did it should have been ejected. It wasn’t just “oh football is rough,” and it wasn’t merely incidental contact. He should have been kicked out of the game, if he wasn’t (I don’t think the refs ejected him) and he shouldn’t be allowed to play in the next game. Other than that play, hats off to Texas High. Clearly the better team, and will be a handful for Crosby. I’ve never seen such a good defensive line. Congrats on the win.

If the D can keep slowing then down and we can get the offense going, there’s still room for a comeback. Let’s go Indians

Png play calling is suspect. Players are walking around like they don’t want to be there. Refs have missed some penalties. Refs are spotting the ball terribly. Texas high clearly better but PNG could be showing up better . O line getting killed

PNG can stop them for a bit, but if the Texas rb gets past the line he’s going to the house every time.

I think it would come down to matchups. Texas City v PNG would have been an interesting rematch, and winnable for PNG. And if BH had somehow made it past Crosby, anything can happen between PNG/Texas City/Texas and Bh. As it is, the long-term playoff impact of the PnG side of the bracket is likely to be zero because I think no matter which team makes it to the regional championship, the other team will be Crosby and Crosby will win.

Good work PNG. Genuinely sorry for Texas City and Barbers Hill. Good luck to Crosby tomorrow. No doubt that 12-5a2 is one of the most competitive districts in the state. A murderers’ row district.

Crippen, but for the interception, is absolutely playing lights out. Touchdown pass for 28 yards to go up 28–14 at the half. About 30 seconds left in the half.

This one is starting to feel like PNG v Crosby in 2017. Buckle up

Prosperie just had one of the better runs after catch for a touchdown we’ve seen from anyone all season

Dang it he figured it out

TexanLive announcers have PNG and Montgomery mixed. I hope they don’t figure it out, this is hilarious.

Game day! Go get it PNG!
