The original Port Neches Indians won regional championships in 1946 and ‘47, when that was the highest they could go. Finished one of those two seasons undefeated, as I recall. The '46 - '47 PNG teams lost 1 game in 2 seasons. The loss was to a Lake Charles LA team, and there was no way they were going to win that one, per my father in law, who played on those teams. He said that at the end of a qtr, if PNG had the ball, the refs would give Lake Charles possession. My father in law says that Coach McCollum was so angry that he called a practice for the next morning (on a Saturday). Anyway back then Regional was as far as they (PNG at least) could go; there was no state playoff, as bamatex says. Quote

According to UIL archives, the playoffs were created in 1920, when the all schools played for one ring and ended in a tie. Divisions were created in 1925 when 1A was created and then the "B" division was created in 1926 and only played to BI-District. Starting in 1928-1972 the "B" division played to regionals or Bi-district, it varied. By then the PVIL and the UIL had multiple divisions up to 4A. Nederland won regionals in '42, and '45 and tied in the '44 regionals . They were undefeated both years ('42 & '45) with one tie in '42. PNG won regionals in '34, '46 and 47. They were 9-2 in '34, undefeated in '46 and 11-1 in '47. PA Austin won regionals in '43 and '47. They were 9-1 in '43 and 9-2-1 in '47. PA (Which became PA TJ) - played in a division that went to State. Those teams are listed above. Orange- (Precursor to WOS) had several good seasons in the 19-teens and 1920s but I don't see any playoff information. *EDIT* See playoff history at the top of the post* Beaumont- Played in the 1A division once the playoffs were created so played the full bracket.
