PN-G bamatex

Great job, Jags. You've made Southeast Texas proud. Good luck next week.

If it hadn't of been for that last interception, I think we would have won. That's just me. Brenham did an excellent job. Congratulation, Cubs. You earned it. Good luck in the future.

I was on the 50 yd line and looking both directions it looked full. I was sitting with a guy who played for Sterling years ago and he and I both thought it looked full. And I was drinking soda pop! ;D [/quote] I sat on the south end of the visitors side- had plenty of room to stretch out and choose whatever row I wanted. PNG had more fans in attendance but they also had a much larger band that took up nearly an entire section of the home side from top to bottom- much larger than the BH band/ dancers, etc who were kind of scattered throughout the visitor's side. I would say PNG had around 1,500 more fans there than BH had when you account for the space PNG's band/ dancers took in the stands! [/quote] I'm in that band and I can promise you that we didn't take up an entire section. We did take up a section from the middle walkway to the top (and were fairly crowded), but we didn't have a [i]whole[/i] section to ourselves. There's only 160 of us. The Indianettes took up about half of the section below the middle walkway, and there's about 70 or 75 of them. Stallworth Stadium has a capacity of 16,500 according to Texas Bob's site. That's 8,250 on each side. Take out the band and Indianettes, and you have more than 8,000 seats. The home side was packed, meaning more than 8,000 fans were in attendance that supported PN-G. Keep in mind that this crowd was almost purely made of PN-G fans - there were very few fans of other teams that attended and sat on the home side. Barber's Hill had about 5,000 supporters by my estimate (that includes the Eagle band and dancers), and not all of them were actually Eagle fans. I don't mean to be rude, but the Indians had you outnumbered, and we were only 20 miles from your hometown versus 70 from ours.

[quote name="etbu" post="709002" timestamp="1258321428"] Bankid PNG would not have made the playoffs in district 13-4a. [/quote] I don't know about that. If you took PN-G in its entirety, picked it up, and moved it into 13-4A, it's completely possible that PN-G would have made it into the playoffs, especially with the UIL taking the top four teams. Would we have done it without a single loss? I don't think so - we were too shaky at the beginning - but that depends on the schedule more than the district in my opinion. We were lucky enough to not meet a team with the skill level of Vidor or Central until after our team really started clicking this year, and that, to me, is what played the biggest part in making us undefeated. Would we be 13-4A district champions? Probably not, but again, that's schedule-dependent. However, I still think we would have made the playoffs.

I'm a proud Indian but my job sways me from being just a fan. They are not the most talented team in the state but they find the ways to win. Faircloth makes great adjustments but he's not Bear Bryant either and he doesn't act like it. I respect 19-4A they play hard. I'll take the heart of a good team over skill players any day. I hope my Indian faithful takes a step back and embraces the role of underdog despite being undefeated. If you listened to Faircloth when he got here he said he wants to embrace the past but not live in it and he also said Nederland is just another district game. I respect that he is a lot like my baseball coach when I was there Jay Stone. Last weeks win doesn't win this week.

[quote name="rollinac" post="708642" timestamp="1258271698"] I've yet to see Brenham but my guess is they're going to have a similar team to the one they had last year.  I've seen PNG play the last two weeks and here is why I think PNG will win.... PNG is an EXTREMELY well coached and disciplined team that makes very few mistakes.  The schemes are fresh and creative and the players are put in position to play to their strengths (example - fade route to #19 against Central CB who was at least 6 inches shorter).  As I've heard a few of the PNG posters say....PNG will wear you down and take control in the 4th quarter.  I agree with this assessment and I think the same thing will happen this Friday.  #18 makes good decisions, has good timing, and is right on the money with his throws.  Receivers run good routes and catch the ball really well.  #7 Running back is shifty, has good vision, runs hard, and is easy to lose track of behind the massive offensive line.  The offensive line pass blocks pretty well but run blocks extremely well.  The defense is extremely solid and [b]plays[/b] fast.  The front seven is solid against the run and the secondary is opportunistic.  They mix up the schemes well in moving from zone to man coverage and get a really effective outside pass rush especially on passing downs.  I give PNG the advantage in all these areas... Brenham's only advantage based on last year is they will have 1 or 2 true gamebreakers on offense or special teams that can change the game.  PNG's only real weakness or shortcoming that I've seen is no homerun threat.   This is an outsider's observation as to why I and in my opinion you should disagree with BoboandBlair.  Yes they're going to be faster at the skill positions but you will be more skilled and you're >= as good in the trenches.  If Brenham is better than last year and is even with you in the trenches then I give you the victory because of the edge in coaching.  Brenham will be hard hard pressed to beat you! [/quote] This is a very analytical approach, and if what you say about Brenham is true (I really can't say, I haven't seen or heard much about them), then I agree with your prediction. In my opinion, your analysis of our team's performance is right on the money. I'm very impressed with what our team has accomplished this year and am pleased to see a team, not a group working behind a few star players as it has been in the past. Coach Faircloth has built a team and a playbook around that team, not a team around a playbook (which, in my opinion, was a big problem last year). My only point about BoboandBlair is that he was just making a prediction, not insulting the Indians as some others have done and as some were perceiving him to be doing.

I'm not saying that I think District 20-4A is much stronger than 19-4A, but don't forget about all of the preseason defeats 19-4A schools suffered at the hands of 20-4A schools. Granted, most weren't major defeats, but they were defeats. Your district champion team was still defeated by ours and still defeated our #3 team by less than a touchdown's value. Again, I believe that 20-4A is the stronger district, but not much stronger. That being said, neither side should be getting too cocky.

Go, Jags, go!

Guys, let's not keep picking on BoboandBlair. He likes PN-G, he just has a different opinion about our skill level. He's not sitting here insulting the PN-G football team and community like so many others have. He's just stating his opinion, much like many of us have done. On the subject of our next playoff game's location, while I don't think Brenham's coach's decision was the most classy one, he won the toss and he has the right to pick whatever site he prefers. Our job now is to make sure that the game is sold out, the stands are "standing-room-only," and that he knows that he picked the wrong school to mess with come Saturday morning.

To say that Nederland had so many difficulties at the beginning of the year, this is a great turnaround story. Congratulations on an unexpectedly good season.

[quote name="FriendswoodFan" post="707319" timestamp="1258201522"] Congrats on the BH win, but the run for PNG ends against a Brenham team that isn't up to usual standards, but is plenty good enough to wallop PNG.  Oh, and don't even think about trying to get something to eat near the Aldine stadium! [/quote] Don't count the Indians out just yet. If there's one thing that this team has proven, it's that it can defy the odds. Brenham is a strong team, but they aren't unbeatable. Congratulations are in order for the Mustangs for their win this week.

Glad to hear Central won. It's time to show the rest of the state what District 20-4A is.

[quote name="ShlyKBMT" post="708006" timestamp="1258237176"] They announce at the game that next week's game will be Saturday 1 pm at Galena Park [/quote] Any idea who the Bruins will be playing next week yet?

I hope I'm wrong, but I think PNG is the worst 11-0 team in the state, if there is such a thing. [/quote] Well aren't you just a little ray of Golden Triangle SUNSHINE.  I'm thinking that being at the bottom of the 11 - 0 teams is way ahead of a bunch of 10 - 1 (and worse) teams.  The success of this season is the District Championship and being undefeated for the regular season.  Compare that to last year's record.  AND, I'm pretty certain that the Coaches and the team DO NOT feel the way you do about this next game or their lowly 11 - 0 record. [/quote] As usual, probably another PNG hater. We could go 16-0 and still have the threads filled with haters. 11-0 is something to be proud of. I am very proud of the team and the coaches. Even if they loose, I would still be proud of the team and coaches for what they have achieved this year as compared to last year. Major turnaround. I wonder if its just PNG hating or just flat out envy ? If you can't be happy for the team, coaches and community then just keep your mouth shut. Or better yet just enjoy what you are watching and put on your purple and join us for some great football and fun ! I for one plan on trying to go to 2 games of teams from our area. I may not like them as much, but I am going to cheer for them. It's not so much about just your team as it is a total complete community and area ! (Golden Triangle) So lay down your hate and jump on the Golden Triangle band wagon and cheer on all of our teams !!! [/quote] I wouldn't call him a PN-G hater (he did say he was hoping he'd be wrong), maybe just a little bit more conservative with his predictions than the rest of us. Brenham has been a consistently strong program over the last few years, versus PN-G which, believe it or not, is still a recovering team (IMO, even with that shiny 20-4A championship trophy and that great 11-0 record) and is still fighting problems with penalities and ball control (as was made apparent last night). Even with that being said, I disagree with BoboandBlair's prediction and have the utmost confidence that the Indians will win a very good, possibly very close game.

Not to mention the 2nd round game could possibly be the best 4A playoff matchup in the state next week. PNG also has a history of crowds getting larger and larger the deeper they get into the playoffs. Maybe this is why some folks are "trippin' about having to play at a 10000 seat stadium for a playoff game. [/quote] Is Reliant stadium available for high school playoffs. The 5a state championship games will be played there. [/quote] Im no expert on playoff locations but Im sure it all depends on the Texans home schedule and the surface being natural grass. Im sure they wouldnt allow games on Friday and Saturday during the playoffs if the Texans are playing at home on Sunday. I [u]REALLY[/u] miss the Astrodome this time of year. The days of watching double and triple headers in climate controlled conditions are over and its sad. Just my 2 cents. [/quote] I'd heard that the Houston Fire Marshall condemned it because of problems with the sprinkler system that Reliant (or whoever runs the complex) wasn't willing to fix. I don't know if that's true or not, though.

Aldine @ 8:00 PM Friday It'll be tough, but don't count the Indians out. It'll be close either way, but I have confidence in the guys (as well as fans and other students) in purple. Let's pack the house. Shouldn't be hard to do since it's a relatively small stadium, but let's make things "standing-room-only" and show Brenham what PN-G school spirit is.

Barber's Hill, you surprised me. I'll admit that I wasn't expecting a fight [i]that[/i] hard or a game [i]that[/i] good. Congratulations on a good season and making it to the playoffs. Hopefully, we'll meet out there on the football field again next year. PN-G, what a game, what a game, what a game! I don't think I ever sat down. Our players are to be commended on a stellar performance and here's to another win next week. It's time to focus on Brenham, which I believe will be a close one but a win for the Indians nonetheless.
