These teams have met 5 times since 1999.

In 1999 Nolan upset the defending state champ Bulldogs 10-7 denying them a chance at a repeat.

In 2000 Nolan came in with a ton of confidence after beating eventual state champ TCA and pushing a Bishop Lynch squad with Matt Nordgren and Ryan Moats to the limit. Unfortunately too many turnovers did in the Vikings that day, as the Bulldogs advanced.

2003, Kelly must have played a murderers row schedule to have as much ability as they did but have so few wins. They jumped out to a big lead early. Nolan tried to mount a rally, but it was too little too late.

The year is 2007. Kelly has what many people say is one of the best teams in the history of private school football. Not only did they go through the regular season undefeated but they beat one of the best teams in Louisiana as well public or private. Nolan used big plays and ball control offense to stun Kelly that day on their home field and go on to the state championship.

In 2008 Kelly has their chance for revenge a year later taking on a Nolan squad that had stumbled to 4th in district, and barely made the playoffs thanks to the expansion of the bracket to 12 teams that year. Again Nolan upset Kelly and would go on a roll beating Austin St. Mike's, stunning a Johnny Catalano led TCA squad, and avenging an earlier loss to Bishop Lynch in the championship.

Played on the teams that beat kelly in 07 and 08,
Kelly had the size but we had the heart to finish the game i believe.
Saturday will be a great game,
I feel like it's kelly's chance to get back at nolan for taking their spot in the play offs back to back,
For nolan its a chance to overcome last year's disappointing loss against Prestonwood and to defend its record against kelly.

Its gonna come down to who wants it more.
We have the two best teams in tapps, regardless of what people might think, they are. They wouldn't be in the state game if they weren't.
At this point in the season errors and etc. should be a thing of the past and everyone should be on top of their game.
Whoever plays the hardest and the smartest is going to win that game.

Good luck to my vikings! and also to the bulldogs!
Hope no one gets hurt,
and PLEASE. lets have a clean game on both sides!

GO VIKINGS

      I have no issue with that however…. Rick Perry, although seemingly not really popular even with Republicans, was almost impossible to beat. The Texas conservatives just needed that tough, real conservative with an already popular voting base. Someone that has been elected to both Texas state office and federal office.  Boom! In 2010 in steps Kay Bailey Hutchison, a popular sitting US Senator and former Texas Treasurer. So she has been elected, statewide in both a state political position and nationally as a senator. A Rasmussen poll in 2009 showed Hutchison with a 40% to 38% lead over Perry. She had high profile endorsements as did Perry. Hutchison was endorsed by the likes of G H W Bush, Nolan Ryan, Roger Staubach, etc. If people are actually going to listen to endorsements, those are some fairly well thought of people in Texas. Primary day was between Perry, Hutchison and Debra Medina. Hutchison was beaten by Perry 51% to 30% and he got enough votes to avoid a runoff. Obviously, that has no bearing on today. It does show that just because a person is very popular and already elected to national office from Texas such as Kay Bailey Hutchison, it does not ensure a good showing in the polls against an incumbent. It will be interesting for sure.

      WOW what a game. just got home, I'm gonna sleep with a big smile all night. PNG QB passes were spot on tonight, lil #17 freshman receiver had huge catches at critical times in the game. # 44 had a couple of huge catches including the 'jump pass' on 4th down for a touchdown.  #4 made big plays at key times on both sides of the ball, he is a beast. #11 played his usual consistent game with big time catches and a couple of good punts and a good job of just falling on a bobbled kick reception. #27 probably had 125 yards or so rushing. The defensive backs did a good job, bending but not breaking including the interception in the end zone. I thought the TH coaches messed up not trying to score with the high power players they have when they got the fumble right before half with 45 seconds or so on the clock and 3 TO left, if they would have scored then it would have broke our backs. I know it was 90 yards to go but they could cover the field in 3 or 4 plays. This is one of the most exciting wins in PNG's long history of exciting wins. Oh yeah kudos to the fans for getting in to the game at key times and in my Opinion making a big difference. 😂
