PNG1992 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 The TJ and Lincoln games vs PNG were always fun to attend. There were a few great rivalries lost when PAISD merged to Memorial. 20-4A would have always been: TJ Lincoln Ozen Central PNG Nederland LCM Vidor
Long Tall Texan Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 Absolutely. My mom would tell me stories from her cheerleading days, and TJ was always the best rivalry because they were very good back then. She was at PN-G in the mid 70s.
akifan94 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 I wonder what the odds are of PAM ever dropping back down to 4A?
PNG1992 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Posted September 28, 2009 I wonder what the odds are of PAM ever dropping back down to 4A? that would solve the problem of having Dayton, Livingston or BH having to play in 20-4A.
outanup Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 I dont think my sons believe me when I tell them how big the TJ-PNG rivalry was. For me, the PNG-NED rivalry is a close second.........But I STILL BLEED MAROON AND GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
speveto Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 what a shame. no tradition anymore. i miss the Bengale Tigers.

I hear every football season how PN-G would have never amounted to anything if it wasn't for the PA transplants.
smitty Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 No doubt, TJ-PNG was THE hot rivalry. I dont think my sons believe me when I tell them how big the TJ-PNG rivalry was. For me, the PNG-NED rivalry is a close second.........But I STILL BLEED MAROON AND GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MrUmp1 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 I just miss seeing the Honey Bees dance at Halftime LOL
SHSTIGER Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 Lol me too MrUmp. Lincoln maybe would be 3a now though.
Long Tall Texan Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 AMEN to PA moving to 4A. I would love to see them in our district, keep it very local, no long trips for anyone. And it would be so much more meaningful for local bragging rights.
outrider52 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 In 2000 and maybe 2001, I don't remember. The area had 2 4A districts. TJ, Lincoln, PNG, Nederland, WOS and LCM in one. Ozen, Silsbee, Jasper, Vidor, Lumberton and Livingston in the other. The teams dropping to 3A and the combination of the Port Arthur schools put an end to this setup.
outanup Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 I believe Memorials enrollment is around 2400, dont quote me. If this is so and the 4a cutoff is around 1900, it doesnt seem possible anytime soon.
SFA85 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 PAM won't drop to 4A anytime soon. 2 Things: I still hate Xbox is the HC and I'd rather struggle in 5A than to watch all 3 struggle in 4-2A is far as football's concerned

Dayton was in the district with Jasper sometime around there too. I don't remember Vidor being in their with us but they might could have been.
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 They will drop to 4A eventually but not right now.

Dayton was in the district with Jasper sometime around there too. I don't remember Vidor being in their with us but they might could have been. I remember LCM being in the same district as Lumberton most of the time and also being in the same district as WOS, Lincoln and Nederland for a while there too.
T-daddy Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 I remember the kids from sfa not wanting to go to pa memorial where did they end up?
SFA85 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 I remember the kids from sfa not wanting to go to pa memorial where did they end up? Sabine Pass, Nederland, H. F., E. C. to name an few....

BWCoach Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 Standing room, overflow crowds were the rule for any TJ vs. PNG football game. I don't think I ever enjoyed high school football as much I did in that era.
ndn2016 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 loved that TJ fight song almost as much as Cherokee
bees85 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Posted September 30, 2009 When I was at LHS we were in 9 4A west zone. Jasper was in the east zone, was kinda weird we had 2 zones, cant remember who was in which but Jasper was our biggest rival from 83 to 86, then WOS dropped down to 4A then it was them, TJ was afraid to play us back then they would never even schedule a scrimmage....lol
smitty Posted September 30, 2009 Report Posted September 30, 2009 Yes, indeed: "Go Ye Port Arthur." One of the best! loved that TJ fight song almost as much as Cherokee
