    I don't know  its hard to adjust to SOC giant WR'S running over PNG small secondary last year, hopefully PNG has beefed up in the secondary. PNG  great team with a great coach! 

    We didn’t necessarily need to adjust on defense. We needed to keep drives going so that SOC would run out of time for a comeback. When they moved a guy over on the d line, they largely took away the run and we started having quick three and outs. They basically said, “We’ll stack up on the line and force PNG to win through the air against our D1 secondary.” PNG couldn’t throw a fast enough ball on a good day against that secondary, our receivers weren’t quick enough to get open, and the qb was under pressure, so we weren’t going to keep drives open by throwing out of the pocket OR by running in the second half. The only thing I think might have worked would have been to take a Crippen out and put Shae in at QB - Shae could roll out, show pass, and run for a quick four out five yards. And, he might have been able to get a few passes completed as the secondary bit on the qb run. We could have chewed up a couple more yards a run and extended more drives, and just slowed them down a lot. We basically did that offense after crippen got hurt anyway, and Shae got some good runs at the end (and completed a few passes to set up a score) - I think if we had implemented that earlier, they would have had to adjust to the outside, possibly giving us back the inside run lanes. In other words, we could have adjusted to their adjustment and kept them guessing more.

    No HE did not win 8 playoff games in less than two years PN-G has won 8 playoff games in less two years...watch the 2nd half of last week's game and tell me if you think the offense worked...all I'm saying is mix it up a bit PN-G would be hard to beat if they did

    I share the concern. Not that we’re not hard to beat - PNg’s been pretty dang hard to beat. But, I share the concern that we’ll come up against a team we can’t move the ball running against, and won’t make adjustments. Which is exactly what happened against SOC last season. SOC adjusted in the second half. PNG didn’t .

    Great schedule! 💪🏾

     

    now look at SOC schedule. 

    Two losses are to the favorites to win 6ad1 and 6aD2. Still counts for good experience - they’ve played both teams that are at least in the top three in the state (counting north shore, assuming qb is healthy). No other 5ad2 team has that experience, even if it’s in losses. And, they’ve beaten Midlothian Heritage, Lancaster (still in 5ad1 playoffs), and Melissa. Not bad at all.

    If Lovejoy doesn't pull it off, I don't know that anyone does.  Lovejoy is good, good.  Beat Melissa 28-7, who SOC beat by a touchdown last week.  They played a tough schedule as well, which will have them prepared.  The Lovejoy/SOC game this week is the one I'm most interested in in the state not involving an SETX team.  

    Lovejoy’s schedule is crazy legit - One loss , to an undefeated 6A team playing in the quarterfinals this weekend. They beat College Station, Melissa, Texas High, Argyle. If anyone can beat SoC, it’s Lovejoy.

    I could see Lovejoy beating SOC - Their receivers are elite. Probably the most stacked offensive team in 5aD2. But, the qb is going to have to have time to throw, and SOC showed against Melissa that they can take that time away. Whichever we face , if we make it that far, is going to be a tall order. And this is assuming, I think correctly, that neither Frisco Emerson nor Colleyville Heritage will be waiting for us in Arlington.

    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.

    You’re right that most of what went wrong for LH in the last game isn’t replicable (fumbles, interceptions, etc). Pieper should still win, but I’m anticipating a closer game.

    This is an interesting one. Pieper is brand new but riding a 12-1 season and the hot arm of Jake South’s 41 touchdowns in only their second year of varsity play. Last week they upset Alamo Heights, a favorite to win Region 4. Liberty Hill returns to its familiar spot in the Region 4 Final, but appears more vulnerable than ever with four losses on the season, including one suffered in Week 10 from a dominant Pieper squad for the district championship. 
     

    Pieper looks like the favorite, and if you watch these two teams’ last matchup (available on YouTube), a second win looks likely. It’s hard to beat a good team twice, and Liberty Hill is good. Pieper is better, but Liberty Hill’s playoff experience is an advantage. It’s a toss up, but I think the winner of PNG-Huntsville will be playing Pieper for a trip to AT&T.
