If this Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this Act takes effect September 1, 2025. Any thoughts on this please? Thank you

They said SOC was a machine last year to and see what happened to them.

Problem the last time PNG played THigh was no stadiums wanted to open for a game because of Thanksgiving weekend. Claimed they didn’t have staff to work. They tried to play at SFA and Lufkin stadiums.

This is what happens when the UIL screws with the teams that were in your district. It also has to do with the intermediate and primary schools needing more buses for their campuses.

Ok. I might get some flack about this but imo I think if a student transfers in to a school he should sit out 1 year of all varsity sports. He must also live in the district in which he’s going to. He can play Jv are under just not varsity level the year he transferred in. They should not be any exceptions to the rule.

Not only tough district but tough region. PNG is in region 2 this time.

If we play again next year it won’t be a Semifinal game it will be somewhere in the regional rounds. They will end up in Region 3 next year with realignment.

Any word today on their injuries?

Just my thought on this is that the UIL should not allow teams to opt up. You play the teams that fall in your classification. Then everyone has the same advantage based in student counts.

Sorry you have a wrong year for 1999. PNG went to the state game and lost to Stephenville by a score of 28-18. Art Briles was the coach of Stephenville and his son Kendall was the QB for them.

Shae did play 2 plays Friday night. He took the last 2 snaps.

Just a guess but I think the 6A cutoff is going to be 2260-2265.

I will still call it Crook Thomas stadium.

Texan live is suppose to stream free of charge per DCTF staff.

Do you see them asking any other team that has “The Indians” as their mascot to change their names? Haven’t heard them complaining about Santa Fe are Cleveland.

The total for this game was 39,102. This is the 22nd largest crowd at a Texas high school football game.

This is going to be a bad decision on the FBM coach for not wanting to play in a bigger stadium. Not only will he have to deal with fans on the other side but will have to also deal with PN fans on his side. Let’s go Indians!!!!!!
