I don’t think the back is the problem. The png offensive line is getting manhandled.

You wound me. Here, I fixed it for you: “Good luck tonight, Indians!”

I think BH should win this, on paper -- Nederland's offense is still a weak point, and all things considered BH can move the ball against anyone. But BH is a wild card mentally - They gave up a big lead to Crosby and collapsed against PNG and it was pretty clear it was a discipline break down against PNG. So if Nederland is just patient and keeps churning like they did against PNG, BH will give them chances to win.

PNG only gave up 24 to the Nederland offense. 14 of Nederland’s points came from a scoop and score off a fumble and a pick 6.

I called the score to be 49-14. Crosby looks like they’ll far outdo that prediction.

Indians stormed back after going down 17-0. KP has only scored one offensive touchdown. They got a pick 6 early, and the field goal. It’s been all PNG since then. The Texan Live cameraman is killing me, he’s had the camera pointed away from the play a couple times, and other times is holding it too low. He either ate a pound of Ritalin before the game, or needs to do so now.

This one might be for the district championship. Crosby appears to be the more balanced team. I’ll go with Crosby in this one. 49-14.

Number 81 for Bh is terrifying

That was the most complete game png played all season. Hope they keep up the improvement.

I agree the ref got that spot wrong - it was a clear 1st down. But a good game played by both team. I never thought I’d eat crow on a prediction PNG would lose, but I’ll take mine deep fried.

Let’s all say it together: PNG’s defense is getting better.

It was in bounds. I went back and rewatched the play on Texan live

After the Nederland game, it’s inexcusable that PNG didn’t make changes to its kick return plan. Get away from the ball.

Wheelhouse is worth it. No idea on the crowd on Friday but I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty packed.

After last night I have to go with BH. The Eagles’ o-line is too good, and the BH qb is elusive and fast with a good, deep arm. PNG doesn’t have the weapons on offense, and continues to make stupid mental mistakes. Defense will keep it close for a little bit, but this will get ugly.

This game is insane. By far the game of the year

It looks like the BH offensive line is really good this year. Crosby’s not getting a lot of penetration.

Wow…

BH qb is having a night running out of busted plays

What was that? It seemed like something was going on, but it wasn’t clear.

How long will Nederland put up with Barrow producing the same mediocrity? Your question seems to suggest that Nederland is somehow just light years ahead of PNG. I don’t think that’s what you mean, but the question about Nederland coaching applies. My approach isn’t so much “PNG could do worse” (but, PNG COULD do worse). It’s that there is a LOT that Faircloth does right. Not perfect, and sometimes he doesn’t have the athletes we might wish for. But he’s a better coach than Burnett. That’s an easy discussion for me. However, could we find a better coach? Probably. But things could also be much worse. So I think PNG would do well to not off-handedly dismiss a guy who has fielded such a consistently good team. Are we “perennial” state contenders? No. But if that’s the standard very few coaches in Mid-County should be employed.

Exactly - in a close game and you’re in control, and you do every single thing you shouldn’t do. And this PNG team has a tendency to boneheaded decisions. That near-fumble that killed our last meaningful drive when the man in motion passed in front of the snap was just plain stupid. Really hard to see for the team. The defense played lights out tonight, and the offense looked good for three quarters. Then out of the blue we just fall apart.

Then that explains why we lost - PnG’s press box iPads weren’t working

When the tide turned against PNG, dozens of people stood up en masse and started to leave - there were still six minutes in the game. You have to think the players noticed that and it can’t be good for morale, and certainly doesn’t help them get their head back in the game. PNG fans are constantly thumping their chests about how we have the best fans in Texas and honestly tonight it was embarrassing. How hard is it to sit still? Png played well tonight, but tonight we had the worst fans in Texas. Good win, Nederland. Reminded me of PnG’s 2018 win. Fusilier is the real deal, and I’m happy for him to get a MCM win before leaving high school.

Was the internet really bad on the Nederland side? I had zero reception.
