These TXHSFB Teams Are Better Than Their Record

Humble Summer Creek Bulldogs, Port Neches-Groves Indians, and Ganado Indians may have taken some early lumps, but these teams will be dangerous come the Texas

Under Coach Jeff Joseph, Port Neches-Groves has compiled a 60-10 overall record and a 17-3 playoff record heading into the 2026 postseason. Across his first four full seasons, the Indians reached at least the regional finals every year and made two state championship appearances.

What I find impressive is these coaches take the talent they are given and adjust the playing style, or schemes to fit the talent. Its not just we line up and play a certain way. We play whatever way we have to to win. Not every coach can do that. Then the small things. If you have been to as many spring practices, 2-a-days, scrimmages and early season games you learn real quick that this staff will not move to the next step until they have the very basics, and fundamental's down first. Discipline, fitness, being in position, angel of attack, flow to the football, footwork, communication, and so on. I have seen a lot of correction with up-downs, and running. How do you become good at winning 1 score games? By being excellent at the small things. There is no doubt they get the best out of what they have. We have been blessed by what they have and what is on the way.

The 2026 Rebuild I believe is one of the finest examples/accomplishments of a PNG coaching staff. Pride Honor Tradition can elevate individual players to heights they have only dreamed of. This year’s team is stronger than its individuals.

Every PNG Team I have seen has been stronger/better than their individuals. I have said a number of time that it is not the skill that PNG uses to go deep in the playoffs, as they are generally not the more skilled team later in the playoffs, but they play better as a team. That with their general discipline, led to them winning so many close games and making those deeps runs. I still think last year was the best overall team I have seen at PNG, things just happen sometimes, that's football.

Last year’s defense might have been the best png defense ever. Elite.

The 2023 defense was ultimately the more effective team giving up fewer points and making some outstanding defensive stands against top talent. Winning the state championship required great defensive play.

Offensive Play is a factor in how well the defense does too. The run game in 2023 kept the defense off the field in fresh. Last year had a lot more passing and quicker possessions which caused the defense to be on the field a lot more. If I were taking defense vs defense with the same offence, I would take last year's defense.

Jeff Joseph, Matt McDaniel, Logan Wilson, and Blake Austin know what they are doing. Coach Joseph will go down as the greatest HC in PN-G history. Coach McDaniel is the best DC to ever set foot on The Reservation, and arguably in all of southeast Texas. Coach Wilson and Coach Austin are the best DL coaches in Texas high school football. Year after year, they develop high energy, smart, coachable, disciplined, and aggressive kids, regardless of size. They rotate kids to keep them fresh. They move kids to the right spots at the right time. Collectively, these coaches put PN-G players in position to win their battles. They know how to get kids to perform at a high level as a team. That is not hype. Their championship trophies speak for themselves. We are very fortunate to have Coach Joseph and his staff at PN-G.

Well said. Not hype at all. The proof is in the results. With all the great history of PN-G football, I agree that Coach Joseph will go down as the best head coach. He is practically there now, statistic-wise, so everything coming just solidifies that. Let's continue to enjoy these good times for many, many years. PN-G could be "Coach Joseph - East" for this part of Southeast Texas, like his dad his "Coach Joseph - West", for that part of Southeast Texas.

If you watch after the end of the 2023 game two lines of players and coaches, SOC HC Coach reaches out and gives PNG player #47 DT Jacob Cabrera a pat on the shoulder pad. No greater sign of respect for those that toll under a heavy burden play after play.

Cabrera was possibly the best nose guard, and one of the best defensive linemen to ever play for PN-G. He was a beast that controlled the middle against every team we played.
