I don't know anything about Athens, except for them getting their star back recently.  From looking at the score tonight,  it appears they play a deliberate game.  If the Tigers get to running it could be a long night for them.  If that is their style and its a slow game,  it could be interesting.

There has been a lot of talk on strength of schedules this year.  The Tigers  schedule was tough and they have 4 wins over teams that are still alive in the regionals this weekend: 4A Ozen, 3A Pleasant Grove and H-J and 2A Kountze.  Hopefully these will have helped the Tigers to pick up a couple more wins this weekend!

Athens vs. Silsbee, my, my.  Two of my favorite town going at it head to head.  I love Athens.  I've been there a few times.  My church conference owns a spot of land there, and we going there and have church camp meetings every summer.  Beautiful area, hard water and all.  Several lakes, lots of fishing, you name it.

Silsbee is home though.  Blood is thicker than turnip juice, lol.  Go Tigers!  I won't be at the game though.  I plan to observe the sabbath, being I am a Seventh Day Adventist christian.  They had a big write up on the sabbath in the Houston Chronicle, as it relates to the playoffs.  Check it out.

I am mindful of the sabbath every year when they have the regional tournament, which I don't attend for this reason.  It is not that big of a deal for me, I'm just bringing it to attention.

I talked to coach SIG last night after the game and he said he was very familiar with Athens he knows how they play and what they like to do. He said when he coached at Clarksville that Athens beat his team in 2 overtimes, and his team beat them in a later game so I'm sure coach SIG has big plans for Athens. Good luck tigers just win.

They did score just over 70 in each of their first two playoff games so it may have been Fairfield slowing the game down.
[/quote]That would be my guess. Saw Athens play about a week ago. They have speed and like to push the ball. Decent shooters........Should be two great ball games Friday. Looking forward to watching both games.......

Found out Athens was runner up in there district and Brownsboro won that district and they were defeated by Waco Connally in the area round.. And Connally lost tonight 70-31 to Waco La Vega .. just a few interesting things to point out.

Athens was playing without their best player at this point.

Athens would likely have won the district if the good player they just got back had been playing during the district competition

Does Athens have any length?
[/quote]Biggest man is 6'3".... I believe they have a 6'2'......the rest of the starters are about 6' or under.....they rebound well for their height. Very athletic.
[/quote]

Has Athens had any run-ins with Gestapo this year?

    • 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. 😂
    • To the 41 individuals that picked TH…..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Round 4 here we come!
