injuns Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 article is wrongPng won the outright district championship in 2003, and in 1999 had the same record {9-1} with Ned but beat them 31-8. quote from the articleArmed with a six-game winning streak since failing to score in its first two outings, PN-G can clinch a playoff berth and move within one win of its first outright district championship since 1996 by beating Central. Not even in their 1999 run to the Class 4A Division II championship game did the Indians win the outright district title as they shared it with Nederland that year. WRONG!!!!!!!!
82 5A State Champs Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 WOW ....thanks for setting them straight!
Guest dailynews Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 what is the definItion of outright district championship ?????
injuns Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 Good Question? The outright Disrict champ would { for sure} be the team with the best district record, which was the case in 2003 with PNG. Png had one loss in district and all the other teams had two. Now I think it’s up to each district how they handle ties. In 224A, head to head record is the 1st tie breaker. Then in a three way tie it goes by points for the three teams involved. I know this is how they determine who goes to the playoffs and how the teams are seeded. But I don’t know with a tie if a undisputed district champ is crowned. But in 2003 there were no ties, Png was the undisputed District champ. See article below from 2003 season PN-G relishes outright 20-4A titleBy TOM HALLIBURTON - Port Arthur News Sports WriterOh... by the way... the 2003 outright District 20-4A football champions were crowned Friday night. It's just that the coronation ceremony seemed absent.Therefore, it's quite understandable on Saturday morning, that Port Neches-Groves' 10th-year head coach Matt Burnett would feel like shouting from the rooftop, proclaiming from the highest tree."Hey, Tom, we're district champions," Burnett said with an exuberant voice over his cell phone during his return from finalizing next week's 4A Division 2 bidistrict playoff plans.There was no intent to slight the Indians' 20th capture of a district football title in 79 years. There was no deliberate slant to devalue the school's first outright league championship since 1996..

WRONG!!!!!!!!if both teams only lost 1 district game they were co-champs that year.
injuns Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 I think you may be right {for 1999} but if only one team would have gone to the playoffs, it would have been PNG and they were outright district champs in 2003, beating Ozen to put Ned in the playoffs.
injuns Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 That's strange I just read the same article in the paper and it says PNG won a district championship in 2003 and deleted any reference to the 1999 team. I guess Wood corrected it before the paper went out. Boy Coop you are fast.
