FBM's first play from scrimmage is about a 50-yd run. First down at the 19. 

Tie game. 14-14. 

Bost with a huge 31-yard TD run. He is playing lights out tonight. 

Pierson just dropped a perfect pass into the endzone (it was contested, in double coverage). 

PNG burning up a lot of clock on the first drive of the 3rd quarter. They've taken half the quarter, just moving methodically down the field. Marshall is looking frustrated.

The Williams v Johnson Game where neither defense had a single stop the entire game. (yes that's hyperbole.) 

 

Yep. Both teams managed to simultaneously run an offensive clinic and a defensive not-clinic.

No we didn’t, we lost to PNG the next week. We’re also about to play a team a lot better than the PNG team we lost to that year. 

In what year? The last time PNG beat Crosby was 2017, in the first round 

A real nail biter for Crosby tonight

TBF i've been watching. It's linebackers making plays for yall. 

Yeah, they are getting to the secondary a lot too. 

Could it be, despite all our struggles in district, PNG’s defensive line is the best FBM has seen since district started? The D line actually looks pretty good so far.

FBM looks frustrated. 

They do

Crosby is beating Willowridge 49-0 6:15 in the 2nd left. This district is trash. 

Wow

not at all if you can contain that runningback you can beat Marshall. 

A tall order

FBM doesn’t look as invincible as they have in past years. Even with Roschon, we couldn’t move the ball at all in 2018 against them. 

FBM has a couple linemen that look to be about 6’5”

PNG moving the ball! And they haven’t given up any huge runs

PNG would need to pull out all the stops and go full Danny Malone on them to even have a prayer.  The defense just isn't there to stop this team.  My suggestion?  Go for it on every fourth down.  Onside kick every single time.  install a triple option play and 15 other trick plays and pray for a miracle.  What do you have to lose?  Go Indians. 

Agreed. Nothing to lose. You can't play a normal game against a team where your normal game isn't going to cut it. So go full Harlem Globetrotters. Onside kicks, fake punts, 4th down attempts, you name it.

It really is unstoppable when you have an athlete under center. Nobody besides Nederland could stop vidor when Montana quirante was there

Only his senior year - Vidor had him for three years, I think, and both PNG and Nederland handled him fine. His senior year also coincided with PNG having one of its worst teams in the past 20 years. Vidor's offense is only truly effective against a team that never faces that kind of offense (like Vidor beating PAM in 2016).

I have a hard time imagining that PNG could win 1 in a 1000 times against this team.  This will be a bloodbath.  The only thing that will keep FBM from scoring 70+ points is the restraint of their coaches.  

In PNGs defense, I think FBM would hang 60-70 on every team in our district.  

Good luck PNG!!  I hope you guys pull off the miracle!!  

Right - It's an important note. No one in this district is beating FBM, so our district race was just a contest to see who gets beaten by them sooner. That being said, good luck to all in our district who might face them.

Now I will say Nederland has done the same with much less talent. 

I don't know if I buy into what seems to be the general consensus that Nederland has had less talent than PNG over the last decade or so. Nederland has been good, and, at times, very good (the only 5a team in the area apart from Crosby to see the 4th round of the playoffs in the last 15 years or so, and maybe longer - Though I admit ignorance as to whether Texas City has been that far in that time). PNG really only has had Roschon Johnson as far as true next-level players, with Jeremiah Rose, Brennan Doty, Adam Morse, Jayce Nelson, Keynel Mczeal, and another receiver whose name I forgot being far inferior standouts. The rest of the disparity, if any, between PNG and Nederland players either comes down to coaching (which I think most would argue is at-best even or at-worst favors Nederland) and marginal and hard-to-prove differences in talent (which, based on the records, still favored Nederland). Nederland has had a dominant offensive line for most of the last ten years, a consistently competent offense, one of the best secondaries in the area, and consistently strong runningback play. And, Nederland can usually find a kicker who can hit a field goal from more than 20 yards, which seems to have been a problem for PNG over the last decade. Not to mention Nederland had Sage Seay and a bunch of others that I couldn't name since I don't follow Nederland as closely -- the point being the cupboard hasn't been bare for Nederland, especially if PNG is the comparison. Both teams have enjoyed a very consistent decade, with a mostly low ceiling, but moments of high performance and win-loss records that most coaches and teams would certainly envy. I think just the fact that there are so few blowouts in the rivalry, especially as of late, shows a pretty even talent distribution.

If Texas City can get 60 on PN-G I wouldn't be surprised to see FB Marshall to get into the 70s.

They CAN get 70. But I'm guessing they slow it down in the second half to avoid chance of injury. 

BH should roll. I'd be surprised if not. 

Can PNG keep up in a track meet? Stranger things have happened. Go Indians. Prediction: FBM 60, PNG 14.
