From KFDM:

PN-G ISD superintendent Dr. Mike Gonzales confirms that Jeff Joseph is the finalist for the head football coach/athletic coordinator position. The school board will meet Monday night to approve the hire. Joseph is currently the special teams coordinator and he coaches defense at Southlake Carroll Sr. High School in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

I may be asking for info you don’t have, but any idea what they like him for? As in, what’s the reason to be excited about this guy? He has a shorter resume than Faircloth did coming in. Which isn’t to say I am unhappy with this pick. But if we’re going to run Faircloth out of town I’d hope it was for an obviously better choice, at least. If the board won’t keep him, we can at least give him the respect of getting someone better than him.

Willowridge is not as good as you think they are. they are marginally better than HISD schools. 

Good to know - my impression has been they are always kind of on the bubble of being good, but have to deal with FBM so they look a little less good than they might be.

I like having MCM on the second to last or last week of the regular season.  This crap of having the 1st or second week of district sucked.

Every time - what a waste - and so hard to get momentum for the rest of the season for the loser.

Yep, PNG will have a two and a half hour ride one way to play the Fort Bend schools in Missouri City. Probably three hours on the way taking into consideration the traffic on the southwest side of Houston. 

That drive is going to suck.

Is this Reagan approved?

Dodge has only won 7 state championships. Where have our standards gone? 

I say throw money at Art Briles. No reason not to. He’d be awesome.

I heard a local business for Liberty Hill has supplied fans with 2000 cowbells for the game Friday night. All Liberty Hill schools are letting kids out early so all the cowbells have plenty enough time to make it to the game.

Should be a pretty loud game!

 

I hate that - Crowd noise shouldn't be artificial. Any idiot can bang things together. Like putting ball bearings in steel drums -- it's just interfering with the game. I wish it wasn't tolerated.

Not even close. Wish they were staying… 

Exactly - we're better with a tougher district.

No …. Please do name names!😁 That’s what we’re here for. 🍿🍿

Exactly - why not name names? They are public officials and answer to the people. 

To Crosby, from the Reservation: Get some revenge for the Indians. 

Better start the movement now. This is idiotic.

Safe travels to all and may the best team win. Obviously I hope the Tigers are the best. I return after the game to congratulate the Cougars on a fine season or horrors at the thought best of luck going forward. Thank you to those of you willing to discuss the game. 

Thanks for joining in. As a png fan, it was good to have someone from up north to give some insight on the TH perspective. Hope you stick around.

I been said it. Ppl ignored it. When I think WOS I think defense. When has WOS had a prolific offense?? Never. 

West orange had a killer offense in 2015 and 2016

I’m not sure anyone actually ever cared or was actually offended by the Chain Gang. Local administrators just wanted to look they were doing something. I guarantee if they had asked the team to vote on it it would have never been changed. Call them the Chain Gang if you want. The Chain Gang sounds scary. The Blue Link sounds insultingly stupid and cheesy, like it’s something a Cub Scout den mother made up.

Actually we have three common opponents, which is unusual.

Crosby 57 Texas City 28

Texas High 31 Texas City 0

I am interested in the Crosby district mates that have played the Tigers, honest assessment. I think your opening comments are fair. The key for Texas High will rest with the 11 that brought them to this point - the defense. They don’t need to over commit as they did last year. I think one of the interesting battles will be the Cougar passing game versus the Tiger’s secondary. I am impressed that Myles only has 3 interceptions. He will be facing an opportunistic group that has 20-25 INTs this season. Looking forward to the rematch.

TH defensive line will be a handful for Crosby. My guess is Crosby wins by 10.

So PNG which defense was worse to play TH or Crosby. 
 

seems like similar results can anyone compare them? 

I watched both games. I think Crosby had the better defense against PNG. Hard to measure since both dominated, but against Crosby my sense was nothing we could do would work, while against TH the sense was if we would execute we’d be staying in the game.

If we are talking about the play where the THS QB scrambled on the THS sideline and a Tiger WR was coming back to block. The QB was out of bounds and the WR hit the PNG late (he was injured and appeared to be favoring an arm). Watched the replay three times. Sorry I did not see targeting. Never led with the helmet. It was a late hit and a penalty was properly assessed. Until that point, I thought both teams played football without the drama. It became chippy from that point and the officials dealt with it with both teams.

It wasn’t targeting. But it was just as bad. It was a flagrant, unnecessary, late blindside hit. The player did “favor an arm” because that arm, from what we saw, is broken - they had to cut his shoulder pads off on the PNG sideline. He was on the ground for about five minutes. For no reason other than apparent malice, and completely uncalled for in a game where everything is going in favor of Texas High. I wouldn’t characterize the hit as anything other than an inexcusable cheap shot, and the kid who did it should have been ejected. It wasn’t just “oh football is rough,” and it wasn’t merely incidental contact. He should have been kicked out of the game, if he wasn’t (I don’t think the refs ejected him) and he shouldn’t be allowed to play in the next game. Other than that play, hats off to Texas High. Clearly the better team, and will be a handful for Crosby. I’ve never seen such a good defensive line. Congrats on the win. 

If the D can keep slowing then down and we can get the offense going, there’s still room for a comeback. Let’s go Indians

Png play calling is suspect. Players are walking around like they don’t want to be there. Refs have missed some penalties. Refs are spotting the ball terribly. Texas high clearly better but PNG could be showing up better . O line getting killed 

PNG can stop them for a bit, but if the Texas rb gets past the line he’s going to the house every time.

I dont think the PNG/Montgomery winner will make an impact. No matter who won I would pick the Texas High/Texas City winner over them. And to look even further I would have picked the BH/A&M/Crosby winner over all those on the top half. 

I think it would come down to matchups. Texas City v PNG would have been an interesting rematch, and winnable for PNG. And if BH had somehow made it past Crosby, anything can happen between PNG/Texas City/Texas and Bh. As it is, the long-term playoff impact of the PnG side of the bracket is likely to be zero because I think no matter which team makes it to the regional championship, the other team will be Crosby and Crosby will win. 

Good work PNG. Genuinely sorry for Texas City and Barbers Hill. Good luck to Crosby tomorrow. No doubt that 12-5a2 is one of the most competitive districts in the state. A murderers’ row district. 

Crippen, but for the interception, is absolutely playing lights out. Touchdown pass for 28 yards to go up 28–14 at the half. About 30 seconds left in the half. 

This one is starting to feel like PNG v Crosby in 2017. Buckle up
