Next Game: PNG vs Texas High

[Lonestar JR]

Some of the Texas High fans are a little raw. But every community has people who take these games personal. I am sure there are some PNG fans who are in that camp also. However, both schools have many, many fans who don't live or die by the succes or failure of their sports team. You need to look no further than "ACE" and "border town" to know how to dicuss High School footbal without getting all worked up. These two fans are a small sample of what makes up the greater Texas High fan base.

I see nothing wrong with making good natured fun of an opposing team. That has been going on forever and will continue to go on. I havent seen any of the TH deragatory remorks and they don't affect me what soever. If you can't take the heat you need to get out of the kitchen.

Lets have a good game and pray that none of these young men get injured.

This game can’t arrive soon enough. Looking forward to cheering on another great PN-G team that has earned their place in history no matter what. And then celebrating their PNG football careers into the future.
As good as it gets.
Honor, Pride, Tradition.

If we can keep this game close I have a strong feeling we can win,All Thigh kids are hearing right now is how much they will beat us by no one is considering us a challenge! So if the fans show up and they game stays close TH will get rattled and frustrated causing mistakes and outbursts we’ve seen it 100 times before!

One would have to be either a very uneducated football fan, blinded by misguided confidence, or both to think Port Neches-Groves has no chance in this game.

Well sad thing is that’s what they are doing besides a small group there whole TH page is just bashing PNG and continuously saying we have no chance sad part is most of them are parents. I have heard from some buddies that they do this consistently, they doubt teams they play then they end up loosing cause they weren’t ready.

Do all those individuals end their football opinions end with “And that’s all I have to say about that.”

If that’s all they have to say there then it’s an embarrassing representation of the school and community.

The OL and DL need to have their best games of the year. That is the key above all else with the exception of minimizing or eliminating costly mistakes.

This is what happens when the "Chatter" dominates the players, parents, and the game.
"State Champions Advantage" = we don't let the chatter affect our focus on what's most important.
The PNG coaches will know what to do with the chatter

I say players shouldn’t read any of it including this message-board.

And nothing we have ever said here is anything that the players and coaches don’t already know. They know better than we do how they can improve. Every good team on the planet, including NFL teams, watches game film, and works to improve their play each week.

You very very right I’m just saying when every single person around you especially parents are saying you’re gonna beat this team by 40 you start to believe it therefore throwing you off and making you comfortable, So if we can catch the off guard we can win!

Boy …. they sure you have some of you worked up. It must be part of some PNG fans pregame psych routine. I was not even aware of Texarkana Friday Nights Lights FaceBook page. Texas High fans for the most part do not post. There is a game thread on Smoaky.com. Most of the Texas High posters are civil and knowledgeable. One thing I have noticed, both PNG & Texas High fans believe in their team as they should. From A Tiger perspective, this is the best team we have had since we won state in 2002. But the Tigers have had some scares along the way and managed to pull out a win. Our recent playoff history has taught us that you can’t take any team for granted. On paper, Texas High should be the favorite. But the game won’t be played on paper and who knows how it will play out. I think their are 6 teams with reasonable expectations of a state championship and two play Friday out of state.
