District 8-5A - Final Standings

[19PNGndn68]

Good question. LH has had years of success in Region 4. My guess is the number of 5A-D2 schools in the Valley, Coastal Bend, and San Antonio area pushed LH into Region 3, which is usually and generally much tougher than Region 4. It will all be moot in five or six weeks thanks to Richmond Randle. GO INDIANS.

The UIL/LH had to (1) move LH out by creating Region 4 districts with only five and six teams. Requiring these teams to Schedule six and five preseason games to fill out a ten game schedule.

(2) Why did LH want out of Region 4? Corpus Christi Miller (13-1 in 2023) moved down from 5AD1 to 5AD2 Region 4 in 2024. Miller even took a page out the SOC play book and played 6AD2 DFW power DeSoto. Alamo Heights was 12-1 in 2023 and is 10-0 this year in Region 4.
UIL/LH was trying to escape from these two powerhouses in Region 4.

(3) With UIL/LH putting LH in Region 3 District 11 their first round district foe would come out of District 12 (26-40 season record) one of the weakest districts outside of the SOC district.

The previous post is correct the UIL/Liberty Hill in all of their tunnel vision focus on PNG, with their conceit and pride forgot about Richmond Randle in Region 3. Those LH offensive newbies this year are going to get crushed. LH can only hope the regional game score is as close as the score in their game with big brother in their own ISD Cibolo Steele.

Careful what you plan for.

I only listened to the first ~ 1:25 or so and shut it off. He repeated his exact same quote from last season after losing to us. "We were 1 pass away from beating PNG".
If we'd lost then I guess we could say the same thing. I also suppose that we can say that we were 1 pass away from beating Nederland a couple or 3 weeks ago. It's arguably a good line, I suppose.

MLC won’t have as talented a QB and RB next year. Huntsville will be loaded. How will he explain another 5-5 season. Remember two of those victories this season were against Catholic TAPPs schools.

I’m also sick of the Beaumont paper repeating that Huntsville was a missed field goal away from beating PNG. Sounds good but not accurate. The game would have been tied and gone into OT. Not an immediate win.

Concur. Latest Headline was PNG wins district as a result of Nederland overtime loss. As I recall Nederland lost to Huntsville and Montgomery the two teams PNG beat. Also many times they refer to team as Port Neches. Its Two Communities one Indian Nation. We dropped the hyphen for solidarity.

The ‘paper product from Beaumont’ lost any relevance long ago.

Convenient oversight for an article headline. Also a slanted opinion. Not surprising at all.

Their writers also refuse to type I-N-D-I-A-N-S and are quick to spread the story about how the Cherokee backed out of their partnership and turned on PN-G.

Shameful and blatant .

I did not know that PN-G dropped the hyphen. Old habits are hard to break. When I was in school, it was PN-G. I like the reason for the dropped hyphen. Solidarity. I like it. Now that I think about it, we (PNG) should have done that decades ago. Two towns, one school, one committment to Honor, Pride, and Tradition.

And if pointing out missed field goals is such an important part of the narrative, they failed to mention, using their own logic, that PNG was a FG miss away from beating Nederland. Their warped logic, not mine.
