Real long shot like David and Goliath

Yep but David did win and became King.

In all seriousness, I know NC is a huge underdog. That does not mean our kids and coaches will not show up expecting to compete. If we can somehow find a way to keep it close and give ourselves a chance at the end I will be happy.

I have not seen anything about the kid that was taken off on the stretcher. It looked like they put an air cast on his leg. Hopefully, nothing to prevent a full recovery.

Welp...PAM  as of now don't have anyone to play on week 0 in 2017...the offense will be more deadly...

Crosby has Manvel in week 0 in 2017.

Sounds like a one man team...which spells not a good team imo...

Crosby is not a one man team. I have seen both PAM and Crosby play. PAM might edge them in overall athletes but Netherly would be the best one on the field. If they played each other and both teams were healthy, I would take Crosby with a slight coaching edge in a reallt tight game.

Congratulations NC!!!

Thank You!

And to answer the other question about NC winning with Dunn. No we lost all three years he took the team to the playoffs. Once to WOS and twice to Jacksonville. Jacksonville had a pretty good QB at that time. He went on to play over 10 years in the NFL.

As far as tonight goes. I thought we were a little timid with some play calling. We had 4 turnovers that hurt and another snap over the punters head giving the ball at the 5. Central made a coupe big plays and had some really good athletes on the field. That catch on the fake FG was one of two outstanding catches, he D was in position but the Central kid made a great play.

14-0 3:38 first

TD PAM 7-0 9:55 first

Hope it'e not too serious. Prayers are with him.

21-5a future isn't going to include alot of these teams.

Next realignment is going to look a little like this:

Cleveland

Splendora

Huffman

Crosby

Dayton

Barbers Hill

Humble

Kingwood Park

Baytown Lee ?

New Caney, Porter to 6a and I hear Humble isd might be building another school. Don't know if it would be in time for next realignment. Caney Creek to another district or stay in 21-5a.

I really don't think that will be the case. Although their are rumors of a third high school being planned.

you think they've gone 1-2 the last 3 games because he's out, or because they had to play their 2nd and 3rd games of the season against teams with winning records the last two weeks.  I have a theory...

I will say it made a difference. I did not see the BH game but during the NC game NC doubled Carney and the sophomore they had in his place caught a few balls but were minimal gains. Yes the game would have been closer if NC was not able to double Carney.

Thursday: Crosby/Vidor

Friday: Porter/PAM

Saturday: New Caney/Central

Vidor vs Crosby

WOS vs Tarkington

Coldspring vs Lamarque

Woodville vs Anahuac

Tenaha vs Sabine Pass

Longview vs Westbrook

PA Memorial vs Porter

PNG vs Barbers Hill

Bridge City vs Center

Henderson vs LCM

Silsbee vs Carthage

Jasper vs Pittsburg

Shepherd vs Hardin Jefferson

Hempstead vs Kirbyville

Hitchcock vs Buna

Newton vs Waskom

Evadale vs Timpson

Overton vs Hull Daisetta

New Caney vs Beaumont Central

Bellville vs Orangefield

This should be fun to follow!

All or nothing. 21-5A vs. 22-5A. I'll pay up to a New Candy Eagle on district vs. district. You guys hold on to early season too much. It's how you're playing right now, not at the first of the year. I like our collective chances.

Are you meaning a sweep? No way will I take that. I will still meet for a meal though if you want.

Thanks for the support. We are the home team. Will try to return the support Friday night. 

I will be there in NC blue supporting our district. You are confirmed on the home side?

I'm gonna hold on to this one. Good poster board material for the field house. Personally, I think PAM was a better team than anyone we'll face at the D2 level until a possible third round match up with Georgetown. New Candy needs to worry about a Central team that is playing to the level they should have been all along. I seem to recall an Ozen team they remind me of back in 2011 facing unbeatable Barbie's Hill and then unbeatable Brenham. Porter's gonna get smoked by PAM or would you like a wager on that? PNG has a tussle on their hands but I think they win by 10. Let's see who's right.

Rob, I'll take the wager on New Caney vs Central. How about for a nice meal?

I never said the refs were the deciding factor. I said the ref's were bad IMO. I guarantee that wasn't a block in the back that erased that TD. That TD could have changed the play calling for NC in which they (IMO) would have had issues handling the blitz from Crosby if forced to throw their way back into the game. Just my opinion though.

We will just have to disagree. I have not gone back and watched it on film, but when I watched it live I thought it was a good call. As for the middle blitz it was obvious. Every time NC was  in that set that #30 was coming up the middle. I saw some adjustments with the route the slot receiver was running in the second half to fill in behind the blitz. The safety did a good job tackling him but he was open on that quick slant.

IMO yes when it comes to pass blocking. Problem is the scrambling ability of the QB. If you do not contain him you are in trouble. As far as the run game its decent esp with the dual threat at QB... Their play calling is good so the kept Crosby off balance once the ref's saved them. 

Sounds like you're kind of hung up on the refs. Both teams had calls that hurt them. The refs were not a deciding factor in that game. The players committing the infractions are the ones that put their teams in jeopardy. The Oline has held up enough for Cooper to have a pretty good year passing. 

I know what happened, I'm just not sure of what the required penalty for it is. I will not post it though. And you very well may be right about being done for the year.

Central best passer is sitting on the sideline.  I would like to see Central win but I think they lose by 3 TDs.

Curious why you would like to see Central win. I thought you were a Dayton supporter, I was there last year supporting the Broncos against PNG. I try and support my district as much as possible.

If just one, then Titans should have that covered with Vincent...

Porter has more than one. Carney is the top receiver and will be playing at next level but if Spencer is back from the trouble he got into then that changes the dynamics. Spencer is 6"3 and can leap. He already has offers in basketball. Porter has gone 1-2 without him.

How did we managed to get this in Splendora? Seems far for both teams, don't get it.

And yes we have Internet. Heck, we just got dial-up installed just before the football season started. Back at ya Bud!

Who will sit on the visitors side? Home stands should be large enough but visitors stands are not real big.

Box score from the game. Not sure how accurate they are, have seen two different numbers already but pretty similar:

I do not think these are completely accurate. I know Crosby punted more than 1 time. I was talking to my brother in law about the fact we should have tried to fair catch the ball a couple of times. We gave up quite a bit of field position at least twice on punts that rolled an additional 15 yards or more.
