Why do the have Mecca on their helmets?  So stupid. 

unless "Mecca " is their official mascot it is against UIL rules to have it on their jersey and helmet.

I'm gonna be honest...SOC is very predictable from the film I've seen I think they can muster 21 points...only prediction I have on the PN-G side is Nguyen has a big day running the ball

Sure is...and here's the penalty for it PENALTY—Administer as a dead-ball foul. 15 yards at the succeeding

spot following the kickoff. If the kickoff is returned for a

touchdown, the penalty is assessed either on the try or on the

succeeding kickoff, at the option of the home team. [S27] In

addition, Officials shall charge a team timeout at the start of

each quarter the illegal jerseys are worn, or a foul for delay of

the game if all timeouts have been used.

I’m gonna check it out. after watching it I still don’t get what Mecca has to do With it.  I do have lots of respect for the discipline and work ethic they instill.  I also respect the way these coaches take responsibility for these kids all The way to making sure they eat and have shoes on their feet

From the cover story in this year's DCTF magazine: 

Jason Todd is South Dallas born and raised. He graduated from Dallas Lincoln and played under legendary coach Reginald Samples. Every day, Todd walks the hall on campus where the image of his grandfather, former SOC principal Frederick Todd, hangs above him, a constant reminder of his loyalty to the area. Ward is a Dallas Kimball graduate. Defensive line coach Dominic Spencer is a Dallas Skyline product. Running backs coach Keith Davis is a graduate of Dallas Hillcrest. You get the picture. There’s nothing they pride themselves on more than representing the area in which they were raised.

Which makes the program’s nickname, given by Todd, all the more resonant — The Mecca.

In the Muslim faith, Mecca is the birthplace of the prophet Muhammad, where the Islamic faith originated and where every Muslim is eventually called back to at least once in their life.

“You had to pass through SOC because it was first in Oak Cliff and Oak Cliff is the biggest part of Dallas,” Ward said. “As everybody from Oak Cliff had spread, somebody within their roots, if they’re from Dallas, went to SOC: Granny, mama, uncle or whoever.”

 

So basically what they were saying is SOC is the birthplace of what you see now in programs like Duncanville, DeSoto, Lancaster, Cedar Hill, etc....a ton of those players families are from Oak Cliff and have a tie to SOC in some way

I predicted a close game with LH and PNG shredded the Slot-T. I think this will be a close game with SOC. PNG will make adjustments and come away with the “W” and State Championship. GO INDIANS! YOU GOT THIS!!

For sure...they got approval...

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

I got a weird feeling this game is going to flip on it's head via the return game. We'll see......... 

[Rez]

The key will the play in the trenches, but we can’t ignore this will be the best secondary we’ve faced all season. It’s going to be TOUGH to get down the field. If PNG can match them physically, I have no doubt the coaches can make winning adjustments. Just hope the stage isn’t too big for us.

I had to look for the 2022 exceptions and found them. There's a space between the military and Team Slogan/Acronym so they're talking about two separate issues

Did PNG change the helmet design? Last i saw  they had arrow design. Last Friday it just said PNG. 

The PNG letters have been on there all season. Joseph changed it when he took over.
