What High School?

[TradinUp BH]

If you could go back in time, or for you younger guys right now, what high school football team would you most likely want to play for and why?  What position would you want to play the most?

Nothing in this part of the state could equal the playoff run PNG had in the 70's.

NOTHING...

No other team in this area played in front of over 30,000 week after week making it to at least the semi finals 4 years in a row.

No other team has won more games in 4 years than PNG did from 74 to 77.

To me that PNG dynasty was the "zenith" of Friday Night Lights in this part of the state...

Hands down if you could have your kid play his high school career on a team it would be to enter PNG as a freshmen in 1974.

I agree as soon as started school at Taft Elementary in 1985 those teams were legendary. I remember it seemed like a dream then came 1989 when Ron McGill and the boys brought back the spirit to The Reservation and I had my first chance to see PN-G in the Dome when they beat Lamar Consolidated. Then the thing that stuck in my mind the most from my first day of high school on the windows of the doors in the old A wing the football stickers for the 1970s state semifinals, finals and champions were still there. I would definatly want to play for the PN-G dynasty of the mid 70s. Position Free Safety or Wide Receiver.

WOS BACK IN THE MID 80'S. BEST TEAMS EVER!

You know everybody on this board is going to be loyal to their school, right? I would have liked to have been involved in Jasper as an incoming freshman in 1980. I never played football due to a mild disability, but I did what anybody in my position would do that loves their program...which was the manager/trainer role. In 1980, the Dogs went 8-0-2 and tied one of those great Hebert teams, which kept them out of the playoffs. In 1981, they went 7-2-1 and again missed the playoffs due to a loss to Hebert. During that two-year span, they went 0-1-1 against both Huntsville and Hebert.

The following two years were two of the most dominant in Jasper history. Both 1982 and 1983 squads featured outstanding defenses and 12-1 seasons. Willowridge and tailback Thurman Thomas ended hopes for a state title in '82 and '83.

Those years produced a few of the strongest Jasper teams that have ever graced the Boneyard. There are several in the past few years that surpass those teams offensively, but in those days the Bulldogs won with their defense. I believe that if the Bulldogs ever win it all, those defense intensive squads need to return.

Any time in Newton except for the 94 or 95 year can't really remember but that was a down year for us but any other time would have been fine cause they are always good.

Nederland in the 1950's and 60's.  Three final visits and the second best 10 year record.

I wished I would've kept playing QB after my freshman year instead of quitting to play soccer. Don't get me wrong, I loved kicking this year for the varsity team, but I used to love to play QB, just the feeling of being in control. Oh and by the way for those who don't know, yes I'm from Vidor. And no I don't care how bad our records have been over the years, just the feeling of playing for your school, in front of all those people is remarkeable...

WO-S in the mid-late 1980's.  Awesome streak then.  I would have done what I did (which was the only thing that I could do being a girl) and been a trainer.  That's what made me a Mustang!!!

Gotta agree with you. I played against PNG those 4 years. Nothing like them at the time. We lost to them 20 - 8 my last year and we thought we had just won state.
