The best backs I have seen this year(in no particular order): Micah Mosley- Nederland Colton Johnson- Waller the kid from LaMarque Michael Dugat- Dayton Brad Croak- Vidor I'd like to see Mosely go to either Texas Tech or Houston. He could play RB or WR at either of those. I hope he does not go somewhere that will play him only at safety or CB though.

LC-M 24 Vidor 14 I think this will be a hard fought game, but I think LC-M is just a tad bit better on both sides of the ball.

I think we will win because I don't think they have an answer for Mosley. But, I wish our fans would stop talking about the playoffs and realize that we just got thru giving up 5 passing TD's tonight and did not cover anyone.. Lumberton is a good passing team.. We are gonna have to score quite a few points to win if our pass D does not improve fast. Nederland 35 Lumberton 24

I was impressed on both sides of the ball.. They did not punt all night!

If we do not learn to defend the pass, then we might have to score 50 to win.

Great game, Dayton.. You guys have quite a team over there and the score was not indicative of the butt-kicking y'all put on us.. Great team speed. Without a few of those turnovers in the 2nd half, the score could have probably been 42 or even 49.. Very impressed with y'all's soph QB and both Dugats.. The defense did a good job on Mosely and great job by your 2ndary.. Y'all are as good as any team we have played this season in my opinion.

He played the whole game against LCM and I do not recall him getting injured. He plays fullback for us and I wish we would get him the ball more.. He is a load to bring down and probably our best short yardage runner. He has had a few fumble problems this season because he refuses to go down. Great receiver out of the backfield and short be an offensive focal point next season when Mosely is gone. He missed a few games early in the season with injuries, but I do not remember him getting hurt last week.

I tend to think Nederland will be in this game as well. I have seen some improvement in the defense in the last few weeks and while Dayton is the big favorite, and rightfully so, I do not think this will be a blowout. Ned fell apart at the end of the Vidor game in the last 2 mins., no excuses here, but a game they should not have lost. Mosely played only 2 plays against Central, so I don't think it is fair to use that game as a measuring stick.. His absence had nothing to do with us giving up 63 points, but take any teams main weapon away and the whole team suffers. And, as far as the win last week, I was happy to get it. The Bears were fired up and took it to us for 3 quarters. I am not prediciting a Nederland win, but it would not shock me for us to be close or possibly even win this game. We shall see.. I think we have nothing to lose in this game, Dayton has handled everyone except Central easily in this district. Friendswood beat them and I would say we are fairly comparable to Friendswood.

I think he got the last laugh by peeling out twice in the end zone.

I am not sure about OF and a 9th grade team.. I see no reason why they would not have one though?! Nederland has a pretty good freshman team from what I hear.. There is a kid named Paul Roy that plays RB and in the PN-G game a few weeks ago, he had 4 carries for 250 yards and 4 TD's in the FIRST QUARTER! He took his first carry the next week 70 yards to the house against Ozen. I guess this is someone to look out for after Mosley graduates.

I agree on all counts on Mosley, johnny. He was the difference. Great team effort by the Bears. Although others disagree with me, I thought the Bears got the best of us for at least 3 quarters.. We were SHUTOUT. And down 12-0, to me that is being outplayed. Keeping a team out of the endzone for 3 quarters is a great accomplishment. Especially a high-powered offense like Nederland. I was just glad our D showed up and kept us in the game long enough for Mosley to catch fire in the 4th and Moshier to put some balls on the money. It was a great game with a great atmosphere.

Excellent post, vhs.. You summed things up very well. I am looking forward to this game this week.. Should we be able to beat Dayton?? Heck no.. They have quite a team over there.. Can we beat Dayton, I think so if we catch some breaks.. Wash St. beat USC, who is the better team? The Raiders beat the Steelers with LESS THAN 100 yards of offense.. Are the Raiders really better than the Steelers? Nope, but for one game anyone can beat anyone. That is part of the reason that I don't like our fans talking playoffs already.. Should Lumberton beat us? No, they shouldn't. Can Lumberton beat us?? Of course they can! Hope the Dogs get one of these next two.. Would love to upset the Broncos this week! Should be a fun game. I am looking forward to checking out their new field.

bandsman, pn-g would have to beat central and dayton in back-to-back weeks to make it.. difficult and not probable, but always possible.

this thread my be the biggest waste of bandwith i have ever seen.

bearfootball, That sounds like wishful thinking on your part. And, to wish injury on any player shows a lack of class. Y'all should have taken care of business last week, then you would not be having to hope for injuries or pulling for the Lumberton Raiders and their 1-4 juggernaut.

studbuck, i think wo-s can go a long way. granted, i have only seen highlights, but y'all look like y'all are loaded this year. qb looks great, solid backs, and speed to burn at wr. and the chain gang needs no intro. believe the ponies make a SERIOUS run this season.

I had two tickets to that playoff game and the damnest thing happened.. I parked downtown to renew my drivers license and accidently left those tickets laying on my dashboard.. how stupid could i be? when i got back, my windshield was broken and there were 10 tickets laying there on my dash with all the broken glass! damn the luck.

So, v-ball... y'all would rather beat nederland than make the playoffs? brilliant. i see the bar is not set all that high over there.

vhs, I apologize for the cheap shot at Vidor.. You are right that Vidor's record has nothing to do with the Ned/Dayton game and probably your prediction. My joke probably was in poor taste, but I am recalling all the trash we heard when Vidor beat us. And, I will give you a good point out of your post.. If Mosley is a non-factor in this game as you say, then it probably will be a laugher.. He has been THE MAIN FACTOR in every game this season and nobody has shut him down even though you guys think that holding him to 170 yards was shutting him down. And he missed about 10 mins. in that game due to inury. I think it'll be closer than poeple think, you think it'll be a blowout.. Let's just agree to disagree on this one.

vhs, dayton is good, real good and it could be a laugher, but that still isn't as funny as vidor's 4 game losing streak.

Matt is not a trash talker.. He has been on these boards for years. Dayton has a very solid defense. I did not translate his comment as trash at all.

I GUESS SO.. DOESN'T LAMARQUE HAVE A GOOD DEFENSE?

CENTRAL BY 14..

VIDOR BY 7

i'll go first i guess.. if ned's D plays like it did last night, then this will be a good ballgame.. if they resort to the D they played against Waller and Central it will get ugly. Nederland has an upperhand in this series if memory serves me correct. At least recently they do.. Dayton is the best team in the district, no argument here.. But, I have a feeling this will be closer than people think.
