PN-G bamatex

Anyone know if Nederland has sold out the visitors' side yet?

Never underestimate the Montgomery County sense of entitlement.

6-1 with two or three big upset wins to their credit and tied for a district title with the defending state champs in the first season of a new head coach? Yes, I would.

If Nederland holds on, they deserve to be state-ranked next week.

West Fork's coach is a PN-G grad, if I'm not mistaken.

I take it back.

If memory serves, PN-G returned 15 of last year’s 22 starters. As @Rez pointed out, we have some things to fix coming out of the Klein Oak game. Provided we fix those things, PN-G 17. If we don’t, PN-G by 7. I suspect United is a better team than in years past, and is also better than Klein Oak.

Let’s start with the good. Tyson Henry reminded me of Isaiah Nguyen in how he runs. With time for Henry to develop, I think he and Chatagnier will strike a dynamic similar to the one Chatagnier shared with Nguyen. We saw how that worked out last year. Bailey and his receivers corps both looked good once the offense found its rhythm. Same goes for the OL. The defense forced six turnovers, only giving up ten points to a fairly talented (if poorly coached) 6A team with an OU commit and as much speed as we’ll see all season. Perhaps most importantly, the stellar in-game adjustments we’ve become accustomed to from this coaching staff were on full display; I took particular notice of how the passing game exploited the seams that were opened when Klein Oak stacked the box early to stifle Chatagnier. McDaniel’s still the best high school DC in America, in my book. In the end, we walked away with a three possession win in enemy territory. It was a strong first outing for the 2024 Indians. Now let’s talk about the bad. Two drive-killing false starts and two fumbles, including one scoop-n-score, within spitting distance of the end zone during the first ~15 minutes of regulation. A bobbled snap on a PAT attempt that, thankfully, worked out for an unintentional two pointer. Some bad snaps on punting attempts that, thankfully, didn’t cost us anything. It’s hard to complain about a 22 point victory over a school with a thousand more kids to build a team from. All in all, this was a good win for the Indians. Change two or three key moments in the game, however, and this easily could’ve been the Indians’ third consecutive season opener loss. The main thing is that we know what we need to work on. The offense needs to work out some stiffness. Defense has a minor size issue in the backfield and needs to do a little work on tackling. Special teams needs the most work of all. I trust Joseph & Co. to iron out those kinks. We’ll have another good season this year. Will it be another history-making season? Only time will tell. 😎

NDN Press will stream all games this year unless indicated otherwise.

Welcome to the right side of the tracks.

Policies like that have a way of changing.

If all goes well, I suspect PN-G will play a playoff game or two at Bowers, anyway.

If I’m not mistaken, this is the same system Permian uses. Thought that was much more convenient when I went to see a game in Ratliff last year. Glad to see the upgrade.
