He had Lisfranc surgery yesterday, he is out for the season, that’s six weeks of no weight on the surgically repaired foot. Hate that for him, hopefully the offers that he had in the off-season will not be pulled and he will be able to play next year in college.

Sad for him. That’s got to be terribly disappointing.

Pretty sure Adams had surgery , out for 6 weeks is what I'm told...

That’s a problem. He’s the best athlete on the team. And, of course, that’s terrible for him having his senior season blown up like that. He was the difference maker getting us to state in just about every game last year. 

Any word on WOS qb?

I believe Silsbee will win State this season. Call me stupid or whatever you like. IIf not for a bs call on a qb throwing off of his knee last year they would have played for state and rightfully so. I know you cant say it but I will. I went to that game and was livid afterwards. The ref was right there watching it. I am still pissed about it. My grandfather passed in 2016 and Silsbee was his Alma-mater.. He would have been so excited for them. Anyways I digress. Silsbee for it all this year. This Indian is rooting for you all the way. 

That was the worst call of the 2022 playoffs. Obviously off the knee. 

After seeing our offense struggle so much against West Orange and PAM, I have to expect FBM to win this one. But, there’s two weeks; maybe PNG can figure out how to put up a few more points. And it’s a home game, so none of the silly “we need to cancel Friday and move to noon on Saturday” shenanigans. Whatever the outcome, it will be good prep for the rest of the season and the playoffs, a chance to get solid experience against size and speed. 

If coach Thompson wanted to give me advice on how to tie my shoes, I’d take it. That any program, much less the one he brought to state four years in a row, would tell him no is crazy.

Can we finally have a conversation about how some of the WOS coaches have destroyed the "mystique# of WOS. They seem to have no respect for the history of WOS. Fans like myself will have to remember the good old days. The present socks and the future may not be any better. Feel sorry for the program and kids. Imo

This might get me sent to a gulag, BUT : They need to call themselves the Chain Gang Defense again.  

WOS

From what I could see, they were checking head and neck. So concussion could be correct. What is the concussion protocol? One week no activity?

I don’t know. I thought it was about a week, but not so long a player can’t play the next week if they seem ok

Any word on our QB? I hope he is not hurt. WOS Fam let's keep the spirit as best as we can for the sake of the team. They do read our comments. Let's keep them up-lifted and support the whole team coaches and all at this point.

It looked to me like he might have a concussion. He didn’t limp or hold any part of his body when we walked off the field. But the way he lay there for a few moments was scary. Hope he’s ok.

Any team could win any night. It's gonna be brutal. Home field advantage means nothing.

Out of likes, but no one in that district can sleep easy. It’s going to be four playoff games, before the playoffs even start

We do. He's not a great kicker like some of those I've seen for PNG over the years. Waguespack come to mind. Coaches don't seem to trust him. They feel better about the athletes and running the wildcat.

But that doesn't fix the play calls. Just because something worked great last week it's not guaranteed any game after that. The better staff focused on that all week. So we keep going to the same well, even though it's dry. That's the definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. 

There were a few scenarios where WOS could have put us away with a field goal, and they had more than one opportunity. It was baffling.

Silsbee WOS jasper HF prob the strongest district in the state

That district is going to be a bloodbath 

Congratulations BU! 

Why doesn’t WOS have a kicker?

Instant classic. One that will be talked about for years. The respect between these 2 programs is what has made this rivalry real since the 80s. The atmosphere out there was like a playoff game. Quality across the board PNG. From the pregame to the Anthem to the final whistle. Pulled pork was even good.

But the loss is real. I think I'm taking this harder than losing state some years back. Mainly because I swear that we had this in the bag so many times. The penalties and mental errors on the field, cost us just as much as the bad calls and wasted opportunities on the sidelines. These kids have done so much and deserved to get the W. But we blew it.

I'll give credit to PNG. They never stopped like Nederland did. The coaches stategy was so much better than LCM. And that 50 defense is actually pretty good at stopping high powered teams. Or so I've heard. But I also believe if PNG was a state contender like last year. They would've ran all over us... like last year.

So both teams have exposed each other's weaknesses. And maybe found some strengths. This is why we play up 2 divisions before district starts. One more game to get things fixed.

Serious weaknesses exposed. And a lot to be positive about for both teams. West orange is going to score a lot of points in district, and won’t be easy to score on. Silsbee and Jasper better be on notice.
 

I just hope png gets something together on offense. 
 

condolences for the loss, and as always, we’re grateful to play West Orange. ya’ll are still the class of the area, and will remain so.

Not me. I actually picked WOS. PNG really don’t have much of a defense as shown tonight. Against PAM, first game jitters maybe. Then they played BU, they could have put the second team defense in. Now you got 3 games under your belt and still struggled against a team that basically had no breaks and played the whole game. I don’t like morale victories, but png should have scored atleast 35 points. Not because they are better, but because WOS was tired 

West orange got some breaks. The refs kept letting the qb snap the ball with the play clock at zero. It was bizarre. 

Png offense is in trouble. Nyugen and the defense pulled us through. Honestly, we need shea all over the field like last year. He’s too good to be wasted at qb . With him on the field at slot/wildcat/rb/qb, it’s like having an extra player. Bailey is good enough, just need to get him some reps. An ugly win is a win, and we got the win. And, even though we don’t usually say it after a team loses: West Orange is back. 

Did someone at PNG do something to piss off TexanLive? I don’t think they’ve broadcast the last two weeks’ games.

But, u also know ur right.but, let me say this png is bigger than us up front when they're on offense.and we have been able to handle png in recent years running the 50.bcz our kids shoot gabs.and run alot cover 1 and cover 2.on the back end.it takes away those double moves routes.so he's determined to do away with it. So we're gonna see if they can stop that wild cat which is coming.and the big pass plays.he outta know how they handled us up front last year.guess we will see if he learned anything!!

What I’m curious to see is WOS dbs against PNG short passes. Png qb is solid, but there isn’t a lot of zip on the ball, so far. There were a couple passes against BU that faster DBs would have intercepted because the ball was moving so slowly. It hurt us against PAM. I hope we clean it up, but I think WOS will get some opportunities there.

Tell me how does playing PNG help BU? None of you Indian fans have yet to answer that question lol

How does playing BU help PNG? If anyone’s time was wasted, it’s PNG’s.

Who said they were too good for 5A’s? You literally just made up your own narrative lol

Are you serious? You’ve been banging that drum for a week.

And how did that W over a 6A help BU anymore than that L to a “below average” 5A team in district play last year?

BU wouldn’t make the playoffs in either of the local 5a districts, but somehow they’re too good for any 5a teams

What Izzy is saying from a coaches point which has to be respected since he has both played and coached at a level higher than most of the people trying to discredit him is simply this.. 6A programs especially a program which will see not only the best in HOUSTON AREA but the STATE. NORTH SHORE, ATASCACITA, CE KING (who knocked off a perennial top ten school as of recently) not too mention SUMMER CREEK. Gains nothing in regards to preparing for DISTRICT PLAY by playing down a CONFERENCE. Its like an SEC team playing LAMAR UNIVERSITY in order to prepare for GEORGIA, BAMA, LSU. 5A programs lack the O/LINE and D/LINE players that majority of your 6A schools will feature especially those which are in that Districts. SUMMER CREEK AND ATASCOCITA ALONE will feature at least two Power 5 linemen. When is the last time PNG has had those type of players in the trenches.. They are the norms in that district.. Yes PNG will be disciplined and are very well coached but nothing can prepare you for 6’5 300 every district game but actually facing it!!! 

I remember when Lamar beat Alabama 55-0 and 45-14 two years in a row. Really shook the college football world.
