High school football rivalries in America: Vote for the best

[Rez]

Not defending them but for a few years that’s been our helmet logo
The block PNG

Good point- Thanks for the correction. Glad to see my cynical take was incorrect.

Overall I feel DC does pretty decent seeing how big Texas is
They know things about schools I never knew existed lol
But they do have a slight lean toward DFW it seems
The one guy I know graduated from Coppell
Not sure about the rest
(Gunna throw it in the GOOGS) ha

Funny bio for Greg Tepper
He must read our forums haha

Until the Texas legislature or UIL makes a rule, we’re the “Indians” and it’s comes off as patronizing to not use our logo when they use everyone else’s.

Rest assured that the Legislature will not be making any changes to high school football team names any time soon, and neither will the UIL so long as the Legislature has something to say about it.

Top 25 Texas high school football rankings (10/17/2024)

Duncanville affirmed No. 1 ranking at DeSoto. Who rose, who fell after Week 7?

Did they ever release the Best HS Football Rivalry results? We know MCM won, but figured there would be an official announcement or something?

In a just world, there would be a featured article in SI about the rivalry. We shall see.

Good job everyone who voted. We went from 1 vote when I posted this at 4:30am on Sunday to 9,315 by the end of Thursday. 5 days. Mid-County rules. We don’t recruit but we know how to play and support the all-American game.

The DCTF podcasts struggle to get viewers (50-100). They would die with envy with PNG NDN Press viewer numbers. DCTF, Beaumont Enterprise, and Port Arthur News need to know where there sports market lies. Does not take a marketing genius to figure that out.

In the old days of Friday Night Lights football fans about in Texas knew what the Block P on a football helmet stood for. I want PNG to as well known and respected across the state of Texas as Odessa Permian’s Block P. Who are We!!!! PNG

Can you imagine the can of worms that would open. PETA and other animal rights groups and the left wing would have a politically correct field day in Texas.

HOWEVER
(Being a musician for years)

There ain’t no SHOW without the BUSINESS

They might not “cover” us

But all that hubbub made it to where our last two teams got near national exposure
Which back in the day where we might have played our SC games at Baylor stadium etc on a random day at the same time other games were happening this way all eyes on us

We get to play in front of not only our and SOC fans but a definite percentage of interested by standers
Who are impressed by us I guarantee.
I met a guy who had on purple
He said I never heard about y’all until last year but I enjoyed it so much I wanted to be a part of it.

I say let’s continue to shock all of Texas
We’ve been doing it for over 60 years. Hell yeah. Who better
We now represent the demographic - it used to be Katy and sort of still is but less this year.

I went to the 1977 Plano vs PNG game was sitting next to a Local spectator not a Plano fan. Still the all time single game venue attendance record. PNG fumble at the start of the game in their end of the field. The guy turned to me and said that’s going to be an easy Plano score. I told him Plano would not score on this drive. PNG defense held spectacular understood why PNG was there. Who are We!!! PNG

Where does the idea that DCTF doesn’t cover us come from? Coach Joseph was literally on the cover this year.

PNG fanatics ( root word for fans) have an insatiable appetite. PNG wants future PNG generations to have the Honor, Pride, and Tradition. Today’s generation “History” is the last internet post on their phone. History has to be constantly expressed or it disappears into oblivion.

As a side line out of context vent.
Our nation’s history is constantly being rewritten and condemned.
Those outsiders who call our student body and community support a “cult” is what is wrong with jealous narrow minded people who covet what we have. Outsiders Attempt to erase history to ease their own conscience. PNG Daily Actions and speech is needed to silence these distractors.

Very true
But they do cover Dallas “differently”

We’re not “inner city” which the SOC coach loves to harp on why they win, and why they lose, and why they get called out for potential recruiting

No accountability or recognition of reality. Character matters.

This has been something I have been thinking about these last few days.
My thoughts are not complete so please pardon my ramblings below.
Every team has a community. Our community has a story that makes us unique just like every other community. Hurricanes, explosions, etc.
I am very happy to see the inner city communities get excited about their story (shared struggles) provided they don't do it at the exclusion to others.
This also follows the line of "We just don't get much love" from the media. Our story isn't going to be appreciated as much outside our circles.
This translates into scholarship opportunities for our players as well.
I would enjoy knowing more about other teams and their communities.
Ultimately this translates into Character Building for a team and community.
Honor, Pride, Tradition.
So it takes the community, parents, players, band, cheer leaders, coaches, dancers, teachers, churches, mentors, etc. to make a successful team and community.
How did we do it? It seems as if it was built in.
How is it that we won a state championship with very few "Stars"?
It seems as if the media credits Chief Joseph and the "Katy Royalty" even though he honestly credits the players, coaches, and community.

Jason Todd wants his book and movie rights for his “Legendary” Accomplishments. See Todd Dodge for what defines Legendary in high school sports.
HC Todd should however be respected and commended for what he inherited and has since built at SOC. Google 2008 SOC school student cage fights and principal grade changes and dismissal. To understand the environment HC and AD Todd had to change.
I subscribe to the Dallas News for the high school sports coverage. The crime section on drive by shootings and sidewalk murders in the “hood” makes you wonder how any of these children can make it in life. Students in the Midcounty communities are blessed to have the support and guidance of their families and extended families.
Who are We!!! PNG

Mr. Jeff Jospeh is working on his own earned legend. A byproduct of all around excellence including the supporting cast.

Well said. Press Editors now days can’t grasp these concepts and express them to the public. Always looking over their shoulders for the political correct “police” with their selfish agendas. Never let the minority shout down free speech.

The difference is that they don't show up at PN-G games. They show up for tons of games in D-FW and its environs, a fair number of Houston-area and Central Texas games, and the occassional game in West, East, or South Texas, but have never made a trip to the Golden Triangle at all, to my knowledge.

If Nederland manages to win tonight, MCM would be the perfect opportunity to make a first trip to the Reservation.

No excuses these can be DCFT Business Write off expenses for the lady DCFT editors of Women talking football. Where there is a will there is a way. No excuses not to check off one of your lifetime bucket list items.
I will even supply two general admission tickets. Your press credentials won’t get you through the gate for this MCM game. Others have tried that “trick” with the wet ink smearing.
So sad that you have to look at the local obits to see if any PNG season tickets may have become available then find out the tickets are listed as estate assets in the will an are being passed down to heirs.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
