All the young men are deserving but had to go with Carson.

The BETTER Team was more disciplined with less penalties and owned Dawson for 3 Qts. Well done BIG NED.

I would get my tickets early...bet this game will be sold out. GO BIG NED!

Where's Angletons D?

They beat the Greatest show on turf :D

The Demolition Dogs

TrenchDogs....The Gate Keepers

"Purple People Eaters" does not exactly inspire dread, and I'm a little offended.. LOL ;D

What are "long drawers"?  :D

Can't have penalties like that and go all the way.

Final score? Hate to BH go down.

SC close to scoring

15 yard penalty for GTown..cant hit in the head.

Maybe come down to who has the ball last.

Updates?

SC is playing a team similar to them...SC with a TD!

Tuning in to broadcast...SC having problems with the no huddle

Good Luck BH!

His second year we went 3 rounds deep and was taken down by Manvel. 3rd year Dayton's kicker took us out the first round. We have had 3 good seasons with Faircloth...and many more to come. [/quote] I so love it when someone says it can't be bad coaching because the coach had some great years in the past.  My soph year we won 3 games.  Got a first time head coach my junior year.  Went 2 rounds into the playoffs.  Senior year semifinals.  Following year, another semifinal appearance.  3 great years for a first time head coach, must be great right.  Wrong, we arrived too two loaded classess.  The next year we won 2 games, and after 5 more years of losing we was gone.  Coaching is about getting the best you can with the kids you got. [/quote] He only has a 4 year history with us...and three of those are good. I don't think after one bad year we should label him a bad coach and send out the lynch mob. He was the OC at Odessa P and had a good record there.

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope everyone has a blessed day!

I feel he has built a Program...his system is being used in the middle schools also. When the younger groups come up they are well versed in his offense.

Why was this team basically non-competitive and so unprepared each time they took the field?  It was abundantly clear in the spring that this team had personnel issues with the quarterback as well as with the running game.  Throughout spring practice, the spring game, fall workouts, and the Texas City scrimmage, there were serious issues concerning the ability of our personnel to internalize this offensive and execute the system in place.  The performances the past 10 games, turnovers, yardage gained, penalties, points scored etc. bears this out.   With all these problems, why was there not an attempt made by the head football coach / offensive coordinator to change the system to maximize the personnel on the team giving these young men the best chance to compete?  Obviously I cannot answer this question, but it is clear that there was enough talent to be competitive in the majority of the games played this past football season.  It was a disservice to these young men to be placed in a system that did not maximize the talents of each and every player.   I lost count of how many times on 1st down our offensive would gain 4,5,6 yards on the ground, followed by 2 incomplete passes, interceptions, penalties, dropped passes etc.  How about ball control (a power running game with the right personnel) limiting the number of possessions the opposition has, shortening the game, playing for field position, and keeping your defense off the field?  Would this not have made this team more competitive?   I attended numerous practices this past football season.  I never witnessed the head football coach involved in the defensive practices.  Is not the head football coach responsible for all aspects of the game, offense, defense and special teams?  In a recent interview, Jimmy Johnson stated that a head football coach, who is both the offensive coordinator and head coach, often, spends too much time focused on his role as the play caller and not enough time managing all other parts of his team.  I have a hard time laying the blame for this past season at the doorstep of the assistant coaches when the head football coach has removed himself from coaching all other aspects of the team.  Whether there is success or failure, it all starts and ends with the head football coach.   I’m sure that in the near future Brandon Faircloth will have the right personnel that will allow him to score many points, accumulate a great deal of passing yardage, and pad all offensive statistics which will aide him in future years when seeking other coaching opportunities.  Unfortunately that will not repair what I have just witnessed:  a poorly prepared football team, a non-competitive football team, a team unable to implement his offensive scheme. Bottom line, there has been a complete breakdown in all phases of this football team.   Finally, it is my opinion that there were 20-25 players who with the right system, the right preparation, and the right use of talent could have been competitive this past football season. Unfortunately this season is in the books for the players, coaches, parents and this community.   I sincerely hope that in the future the young men who sacrifice to play football at PN-G will be put in situations that will give them the opportunity to maximize their talents in order to allow them the best opportunity to succeed on Friday nights. [/quote] Thank you for your comments Mr. Burnett. [/quote] LOL..Thats what I was thinking. We had a down season and that is that. Future looks good for PN-G with Faircloth as Chief.
