Port Neches-Groves v PA Memorial

JV scores do show where the talent is, but it doesn't always translate to the varsity level. When I was in high school, PNG's freshman and JV teams would always dominate, but that didn't mean we dominated in varsity. That being said, I'm not arguing that doing well at the JV level absolutely does not mean you won't do well on varsity, only that it is not a guarantee. As we all know, different variables come into play for JV and Varsity. One good example, I remember soundly defeated WO-S my freshman year, then again at JV, but we lost at the varsity level the following year.

I am most likely one of the "Moms" being referred to and the intended purpose of the article from what I understand is simply to hear stories from PNG and Memorial fans who are friends, co-workers, relatives...etc about their feelings on the game and how they've been interacting with each other this week, like if there's been any "smack talk", pranks, friendly wagers...etc!    That's IT...actually the reporter didn't bring up anything about the "past" , but it did come up in conversation so I am confident there will be some mention of the past history between PNG, TJ, and Lincoln...nothing wrong with that!  But, I feel, along with many others that the main focus should be on the HERE and NOW,  the PNG/PAM Showdown...INDIAN vs TITANS Ep 1, and not be overshadowed by all us "old schoolers" relishing the past!  I work with a lot of people from PA, a couple of them have sons that play on the team, and they are all really excited to have the MC schools vs PA "rivalry" back and we've enjoyed bantering back and forth this week!  One of the PA "Moms" said the kids are loving all the attention and publicity this game has brought to their school and community cause they've all grown up around MCM/ PNG vs Ned/Bum Phillips Bowl and all the local and statewide attention it gets, and now they get their chance to be a part of SETX HS football history and create their OWN story they will tell their kids, grandkids, great-grandkids!  I just hope it goes something like this after Fri night...."I was in HS the first time PNG played PAM and boy was it EXCITING, our Titans fought hard, but those Indians gave us a scalpin'!" Haha!  

 I will leave you with this...my husband and I travel quite often, and have been all over  the U.S...football usually always comes up in convo at some point cause we LOVE IT, and anytime we are asked where we're from, I usually say Port Neches TX...and I almost always get the "I got no idea where that is" look, but he quickly follows with, Pt Arthur TX (TJ '92 grad) and the reaction is pretty much always...depending on their age of course...oh yeah, that's where Jamaal Charles/Jimmy Johnson/Babineaux bros/Kevin Everett/Danny Gorer...etc is from!! MCM may hold the title of biggest HS football rivalry in TX, but that just doesn't hold a candle to the 8 golden footballs recently given to PAISD for each alumni that has played/coached in the Super Bowl....most in the NATION!  Now, THAT'S what I call HISTORY and TRADITION!  Heck, most outsiders think Wade Phillips is from PA too...lol!  All that, to say...you are the MIGHTY PAM TITANS and we are INDIAN NATION...the first chapter of the story will be written Friday Night!!  

I have apologized to that reporter and to you. I am suck it will be a heck of a game and I think I had blinders on to the fact what it meant to these communities earlier this week. 

Like I said I apologize and cannot wait for the game.

I think it's awesome that PAM is in our district now. If we can just get LCM back in place of Livingston and WOS instead of Baytown we would all benefit. PAM benefits the most because WB was the only local team. Less travel for the students and parents/fans. And if you're afraid of having to face tough teams in your district, then you shouldn't be in the playoffs because it only gets tougher. I graduated from TJ and my kids are in PNG so it's exciting for us. The only thing I wish I would see more of are fans from other schools follow and support their kids and local schools more. When PNG went to Baytown we showed up with 3000-5000 fans with an hour drive. They had maybe 300-500 fans and they live there. I thought that was pathetic. I'm always proud to be part of a packed visitors side because it makes it like a home game for the students. And a little secret for all the local schools, your fans are the 12th man in the team. Imagine what it must feel like for our kids to look up and see their side packed and cheering them on. I think that makes them play just a little bit harder. Beaumont schools should take note

This only happens in PA when the team is winning...first pa fan to pop off, where was everyone the past two years?? I love that football has brought the city together, but it should be that way win or lose. PNG fans are there win or lose. Bad season or not they packing the stadiums

I was at the PAM vs Central game... Stands on PAM must have been about 3/4 full or a little less... Surely it will be SRO this week...
