Look at that smile on Wade Phillips' face. That's a happy man...because he's a PN-G Indian. Bum Phillips may have had ties to Nederland, but make no mistake, Wade Phillips is a PN-G Indian and he is married to a PN-G Indian...Class of 1965. He may smile if he ever has to hand the trophy to Nederland, but that will be because he has to...when he hands that trophy to PN-G, he smiles because he wants to! Go Indians.

For the Galena Park game, do the Indians pull up some freshman and JV playmakers to start adding depth to the roster for the playoffs? I hear we have some size on the freshman and JV teams to add to the OL and DL depth. At the Texas City and Dayton games, I saw different numbers that rotated in the game: #77, 89, and 99. Seems like the Indians are finding kids to plug in and play. Are these kids underclassmen? Anyone with a recent roster that has all the new kids/numbers?

I shared that pic on my FB and Mrs Laurie commented! She knows it meant WAY more for him to get to present that trophy to his INDIANS!! :cool:

Some quick historical notes for the PN-G fans who, like myself, are so inclined:

  • The Indians' 25 point margin of victory over the Bulldogs is the largest any PN-G team has enjoyed over Nederland since 1992.
  • Through 25 games, Coach Joseph now sports a 21-4 record with the Indians. This is the best start of any PN-G coach to make it to 25 games since Gene McCollum finished his second season with with the Indians 24-1 in 1947. It's the second best start of all time for a PN-G HC. Statistically speaking, he has outperformed even Doug Ethridge and Lew Ford so far (though Ford brought home a state championship ring in his first season, in fairness).
  • This website and Down Trails of Victory make it easier to research PN-G history than it is to do so for any other high school program in Texas. (Thanks, IndianFan.)
"Daddy's money" is paying dividends.
Point differentials have been added to the PNG-Ned score history. You can sort by the Pts Diff column to see margins of victory or loss. Still have some UI work to do to improve the appearance of the data grids.

Still can't view it
Idk if it’ll work the same on your phone, but try clicking on the link, then the Aa in upper left corner, then show reader. I’m able to view most PA News, BE, and other subscription based articles this way. I know it works in Safari, not sure about Chrome or others. This usually doesn’t work if you click on a link that’s posted on FB so it’s best to go directly to PA News, BE, etc. website. IMG_1737.jpeg

Wade, Susan, and the rest of your family we all love you guys here at PN-G. Thankyou for the dedication to our Indians family. You are and always will be Indians. May God Bless You all. I hope that we honor the legacy that Bum and your family has left here and at Nederland always as deserved. Please remember you are always in our hearts.

You’re welcome. I’m a data nerd and proficient in gathering and analyzing such data, when the data is available. As a backup source I have, as Xcrystalbeachbum has done, watched a few replays in my time and recorded the stats while also analyzing the details of the game. It’s a fun hobby during football season.
:D

Doubters last season said that we lacked a knockout punch. This season we seem to be delivering a knockout punch, or two, and I much prefer that to the just-squeak-by games we had last season. Last season's games against TC, Dayton and Nederland were exciting for sure, but this seasons' run-away games are exciting too, and much easier on my nerves.

WRT the host team, from what all I hear it was sub-par. PNG players said there was was only one bench in the fieldhouse, and most of the players sat on the tile floor at halftime. Fortunately the team brings their own water and refreshments. As far as parking, there is none, for visitors or home either, there simply is no designated parking. I got there before 6pm and still parked a couple of blocks away on the side of the street.

Based on second hand info, I hear that there was no wifi or cell phone reception in the press box(es), and the concession stand ran out of water before the game even started. Otherwise, the lines moved pretty well, similar to PNG, even with the numbers of kids in front of me in line growing from 2 to about 8 by the time I reached the window.

Hang on to more of those accurate passes from Bailey and the offense will be a powerhouse.

It would not be a stretch to think that Nederland has no desire to be hospitable concerning PN-G. Evidence seems to support that. If that’s not true then they should disprove it going forward.

It started with the individual at the drum line battle stopping it and making a statement that ‘we invited you to our house’ and implying that the behavior of PNG kids was unacceptable when in fact they were doing nothing that the Nederland kids were not doing. Essentially kicked them out. What a joke.

Sounds like the stadium hosting was not much better. The game experience at Bulldog stadium, even with all their upgrades, can never match The Reservation. Different levels.

Yeah, Nederland isn’t worried about making things comfortable for visiting team and fans, especially US…lol! Ok, they built new bathrooms so I’ll give them that cause the old ones were TERRIBLE!! Didn’t really see a whole lot of other “upgrades” except the turf and their so-called “expanded” home side but all they did was move their band and drill team to porta-bleachers in the end zone which freed up a section for fans…lol!

Ned’s field house has always been terrible. They need to tear it down and build a new one. They even only have one entrance for both teams - so one team has to wait until the other one is out before they exit.

Does anyone have his complete stats (16 games) from 2022? I'm guessing he will finish his career as a PN-G Indian near the top of the all-time leading rushers. He's been an amazing ball carrier for the past two years. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that he was an unknown back-up until the #1 RB last year got hurt? What an outstanding "back-up" #33 has been. He has good vision, patience, he runs tough when he needs to, and he is faster than you think. Terrific RB.
And protects the ball
