Eazy

The Huntsville center literally has had 6 false starts. Never seen that before

PNG mixing it up well. Hornet defense getting burned on the pass plays.

Not sure if Huntsville has enough offense to win this. They may need to pitch a shutout in the 2nd half.

PNG O-Line is going to wear out the Hornet defense.

Yea that’s crazy to have a 50 point turnaround. Maybe Ganado was playing possum in the 1st matchup. But it was for 1st place, so I don’t know.

All 3 of the Thursday night 2A games are not close at this point.

Good analysis Ipsa. I think Huntsville is definitely looking for the Iowa Hawkeye type game with the over/under in the 20’s, similar to their 14-13 Randle game. They need to limit the mistakes, get some 1st downs, run some clock, and make this a defensive game. If PNG jumps out 14-0, it will be trouble. A shootout clearly favors PNG. The Hornets did have that 39-36 game with Brenham, but that’s not the kind of game they want to play here.

Really excited for this game. The last NRG game I saw was Huntsville-Manvel in 2018. Not sure the Hornets can stay with PNG though. The defense has been playing really well but that PNG O-Line will be a challenge. Hornets will probably need some turnovers to have a chance. Also, can’t let PNG get a 2 score lead. If they can keep it a low scoring slugfest, then they may have a chance to steal one. Huntsville has played a very challenging schedule. The last 6 games have been tough opponents and 3 of the non district games were too. So I think they are prepared and can hopefully stay in this one. Regardless, it has been a successful season getting to Round 4 for the Hornets.

The first year there I think they just fattened him up. Probably gained at least 100 lbs since high school.

Former Huntsville D-Lineman T’Vondre Sweat is the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year. PNG folks might remember him when the Hornets came to town in 2018. He was quite the force.

I think you can buy tickets at the gate instead

No, they do not. Probably want to keep it on the down-low. The Hornets are a 3rd place team that is playing in the 4th round. They have been underdogs each week. Once again, no one expects them to win. Reminds me a little of Crosby’s 2020 run where they won 4 in a row. Although their insane run came against undefeated teams

Parking at NRG is $20

Not like PNG

Not as the crow flies. But I guess we ain’t taking the crow.

Yea, Me too

I’m sure Pieper will be favored. Liberty Hill has been to the Region Final all 4 years they have been in 5A. I don’t think their first matchup has much importance. Liberty Hill had five 2nd half turnovers in that game and lost by 10. LH likes to ground and pound with the slot-T and Pieper looks like they like to sling it. This looks like another of these Reg 4 Finals where the punters can stay home. I see a shootout. Flip a coin for the winner.

Districts 9 and 10 probably need to make a few trades. Victoria needs to go elsewhere. I don’t see this mock holding up at all.

Never heard of this powerhouse team called Pieper.

Alamo still has some payback to give Liberty Hill. That’s been the Region Final the last 2 years.

I wonder what it cost to play at NRG

What’s the largest high school stadium? Katy Legacy?

Well Huntsville has had some success against PNG, beating them in ‘18 and ‘19. However, it will be tough to do this time. It’s been a good run for a 5-5, 3rd place team to get to a Region Final.

Final 43-0.

27 yard TD pass. 2 point conversion after bad snap. 43-0.
