2012. PNG was 2-8 that season.

You make winning last year sound like a loss .

I haven’t seen Vidor or Crosby this year, so I’m not going to comment on whether they are better or not than any other year. I will say that the 2012 Vidor team that beat Crosby was pretty dang good. And the 2016 Vidor team that beat Port Arthur and took a much better version of Crosby down to the wire was solid. So it’s not that controversial to say this Vidor team is worse than those Vidor teams. If Crosby is not good (and we’ll have to see about that — it’s a long season) then this Vidor team still has plenty to prove to match up with 2012 and 2016. Things look pretty good so far. Hopefully PNG will be a loss, but i’m rooting for them otherwise . Great win, Pirates!

Unless i’m wrong, we haven’t allowed more than a touchdown in the second half in any game this year.

Good job, Pirates!

Just think of it as a big sprinkler. Bulldogs like sprinklers.

This Baytown Lee team reminds me of the PNG 2014 team. Through the first several games, playing weak competition, PNG averaged more points per game than any other PNG team in history. Then we played real competition and looked a lot more mortal. Baytown Lee is still unproven, in my book. We’ll find out who they really are tonight.

I think it is good prep for Crosby for Lee as well. I’m not skipping to anything — Do I think PNG will win? Yes. But I think Lee is going to be a force this season, so may the best team win.

How does that work? Is that a rule, or are you referring just to the mismatch it causes by two teams missing out on the round robin? Edit: Never mind, I just saw WO-S Grad's answer.

Baytown Lee looks solid and scary. The one thing I will say is they don't seem to have been challenged yet. PNG will be a good test. PNG needs to play solid defense. If we get in a shootout, who knows what will happen. This will be good prep for Crosby either way. The best part is we have fancy new invisible ipads. No more getting caught. Everyone in the crowd gets one, even the little kids.

Maybe it will be a motivator. Any idea what percentage of the team has been displaced? Did Coach Matthews flood again?

Vidor by 20.

Crosby takes this one.

PNG's O has a lot of work to do. I think they will make the right changes. What we're missing is it seems like we are missing a dominant receiver presence. The last few years we've had players like Keynel McZeal, Preston Riggs -- guys who demand attention and can always get open. Someone still needs to step up. How is Crosby's O-line?

Good observations. For both Crosby and Nederland, I think a lot of us will be surprised. We know Crosby can score against good teams. I think it is premature for people to write them off. I have them as on the playoff bubble as of today, but I will not at all be surprised if they prove us all wrong over the next few weeks. The only thing that makes them look weak (both Crosby and Nederland) is that they usually play better against the slate of competition they've faced in the preseason. But they definitely have the pieces to put together very good teams. Also, BH and Baytown Lee seem weak on defense. Add to this the fact that both Crosby and Nederland have had to play in grittier, uglier, more difficult games against more difficult competition (I don't know anything about Kingwood Park), and have, overall, faced more diversity. That makes you strong. Add that strength to the talent we know is on the field and we're looking at dangerous teams. I still think PNG is a playoff team, but any four out of Baytown Lee, BH, Crosby, Nederland, and PNG is a safe bet.

Sounds like a good game.

Does BH have a defense?

What do you mean? I'm not taking anything out of context.

It was "they cheated the way they outplayed us." I think it was a joke, as in "It was unfair for them to be better than us," the way I understand it. Not, "they cheated."

(In no particular order within clusters) 1-3 (playoff confidence): PNG, Barbers Hill, Baytown Lee, 4-6(playoff bubble): Nederland, Crosby, Santa Fe 7-8: Vidor, Dayton

Any other schools in the area hit this mark? Where could I find a list with all of the 600-win schools?

Is this the last win or the last win in Nederland?

Anyone know the last time Silsbee beat Nederland? And the last time they beat Nederland in Nederland?

Good work, Silsbee. It ain't easy to beat Nederland (Take it from a PNG fan). Great win.

Defense continues to impress. 9 points allowed in the past 6 quarters. Given that we allowed 63 points in the first six quarters of the season, this 9 points is looking a lot better.
