Thinking of the rivalries I have been involved with...

It is ashame that so many schools have been closed...

Although PNG vs Nederland is the granddaddy of all rivalries, the PNG TJ game was a close 2nd, and it is no more.

I have also heard of the PNG Lincoln games of old with Little Joe Washington running wild.  It ashame BCP, French, Hebert, Forest Park, South Park, SFA and many more aren't around.  Just think of all the tradition and rivalries that were ended when those schools closed.

Ned/PNG 83 games

silsbee/jasper 69 games

I think what STiger85 was saying, the Silsbee-Jasper rivalry goes back farther than the PNG-Nederland one does. Yes PNG/Ned has played more games but that's because Silsbee/Jasper took a hiatus from each other for several years. Silsbee-Jasper rivalry started before PNG-Nederland did.

hey...i was lookin at that website of PNG/NED...what happened between 1949 and 1953 that let them not play all those years? a team move up or down in class or in a different division?

Don't know, maybe post WWII recovery?  Someone might know.

HD vs WH. About 12 miles apart, the kids all know each other, probably good friends, but come game time it's gloves off, then after the game back to normal.

If the gam lives up to all the smack talking on here it should be showed on ESPN.

very few of us are friends lol but we get along when we have to this rivalry is prety old even though H-D leads in wins overall in the past 10 years i think west hardin has won more.....good luck to both teams this will be one to remember

PNG vs NED '49.......All from Buck Fords 'Down trails of Victory'.........

The school year started with both areas voting on combining both school districts together...........when it came 'game week' both sides showed little remorse for the other.......Nederland folks saying they were going to scalp an Indian at the Nederland Pharmacy......Port Neches folks saying they were going to burn a bulldog at the football field

Reported in 'the Chronicle' also in Fords book.....

        On game day officially the word was it was cancelled because of rain........6 hours before game time superintendent of Nederland called PN-G schools and asked to cancel the game due to the field being too wet.........PN-G coaches asked about playing the game on Saturday, instead of a cancellation.......

Also, it says, some fans wanted to see for them selves if the field was playable and felt that it was.......others checked the airport weather bureau and found half an inch of rain had fallen on that Friday.........

1950......All PNG home games were actually played at Nederland because the new stadium on AVE D (today's site) was being built....

It really does not say why they were not rescheduled in the next few years..........PNG did move up to 3a in 1951 and Nederland was in 2a..............both saw the playoffs during the absents of the games, between the two, and it does say both sides showed great support for the other.......

When they did meet up again in 1954 Nederland was 4-0 ranked #1 in 2a and PN-G was 3-0 ranked #1 in 3a (and had just won State in '53).......Nederland would win that game 27-24......

Again all of this info is in Buck Fords book 'Down Trails of Victory'!!!!

Yea, if we didn't beat yall 2 in a row, I would have been  >:( >:( >:(...it's a rivalry mostly because we're district mates.  We have old scores to settle with Brook. 

I THOUGHT WE HAD WESTBROOK LAST YEAR. 14 UNANSWERED POINTS. FROG WASN'T TOUCHED ON THAT HITCH WE RAN TO HIM. THEY HAD HIM ONE ON ONE THE HOLD FIRST QUARTER AND WE DIDN'T TAKE ADVANTAGE ENOUGH. THEN WE STOPPED GOING TO HIM COMPLETELY. I WAS PUZZLE. I WONDERED IF THE COACHES NEW WHAT WAS AT STAKE. BMT-ERS TAKE THESE GAMES SERIOUS. WE'LL GET EM THIS YEAR
