This is a simple layer mask
Two text layers and two background color layers.
Black text on a white BG
White text on a black BG.
Make a selection with the Rectangular Marquis Tool around the White text on the black bg.
Then select the black background layer, and add a layer mask.
If the layer order is confusing, it works like this as well.

Or ... after the text is rasterized, put a rectangular selection over half of the text, hit control-I (ie, "invert") and it's done.
That being said, Sam's approach is much more generally applicable and more flexible, and definitely should be in your bag of tricks, LOL.

It's very hard to tell without a screen shot of your layers panel.

This is easy, I'm not sure why your having problems with this.
Two words on two layers.
STATE created in black on the LEFT side.
CHAMPS created in white on the RIGHT side.
Two layers like this.....
All that's left to do is add the black and white solid color layers BELOW the text.
Now add the layer mask to the black layer like I explained above.
It's that easy!

gedstar I just realized what he may be talking about. Let me see if I can explain.
Black text layer on top.
White text layer next.
It will look like this.
(NOTE: I'm using a visible bg so you can see the text, the bg should be white.)
You will also add the two solid color layers.......black above the white layer.
Your layers panel should look like this.......
If you have done this correctly your canvas will look like this.....
Make you selection (like the original tutorial) around the white text.
Select the Black solid color layer and hit the add layer mask icon.
It will now look like this......
Now make a selection around the white text area.
Select the Black TEXT layer.
Add a layer mask.
It should now look like this.......
