28-14 png

PNG score. Pending x point

PNG starting to take control. Knocking on the door after a great Grant Pierson catch. Two minutes left in half. Still 21-14.

Conner for about a 15 yard touchdown. 21-14 png in the 2nd. 3:16 left in half.

Bost with maybe his longest run of the season. About 50 yards

14-14 in the second.

End of 1st. 7-7.

I spoke too soon ...

PNG touchdown. On second drive. King wood Park has a linebacker spying Bost. It’s helping to limit him up the middle. Kingwood Park doesn’t have a good defense. PNG has moved to 4 down linemen. Seems to be making a difference against the run.

The MECCA makes it to December, no matter what haha

There is a lot they could do with it. I think the stripes is cool. Sort of how the Steelers do it.

That's a good point.

I was thinking the same thing. When I was in high school LaMarque was #1 in what is now 5A, and as far as I know they stayed a major state force until at least 2011. They aren't even close to what they used to be.

Laissez les bons temps rouler avec du violet et du blanc.

I miss the all deep-purple look. I hate the gray pants. It should be purple or white.

If you have time, go watch just the highlights from the Crosby/BH game, and then any footage from the BH/PNG game. The Crosby D line blew past the BH line like they weren't there at all. The Crosby D line players don't appear to be particularly large. I don't know what scheme Crosby was running, or how many down linemen. But then look at the PNG game -- almost zero penetration all night. Even though the BH O line is big, there is a way to beat them and it doesn't require being as big. PNG is getting outskilled on D line, not just outmuscled, whereas the Crosby D line outplayed, instead of outmuscling, the BH line.

I agree. Crosby, of course, is the test. I also have a feeling Texas City is still something of a dark horse. They've been solid in the past, and at times have been really good. But I think we can safely assume PNG won't learn that much about itself this week.

There are a few kids on defense delivering licks -- It adds to my frustration about the defense, because the players clearly want to be more aggressive.

PNG refuses to play kids both ways. It's ridiculous. Nederland even had Sage Seay going both ways on several defensive schemes. I can see using a player like Roschon Johnson only on offense, but for most situations I'd play the best kid no matter what. It's how West Orange does things.

Also have to be quicker to the runner -- Any good runner in the district has been guaranteed five yards around the edge on way too many plays.

PNG should be favored. I'm hoping the offense can get moving earlier and eliminate turnovers. Here's also hoping for a defensive improvement. I don't know anything about Kingwood Park.

Based on the size of BH's line, we need to be feeding them more.

Hopefully with experience he will pull it together. Everyone starts somewhere. The original DC left over the summer to move closer to family, so my guess is PNG wasn't in a position to do an extensive search for a DC given the timetable and the COVID situation. So the new DC has been thrown in the frying pan -- But maybe it will lead to him becoming a great coach. This year there are certainly growing pains. Here's hoping we all feel stupid in the future when he gets really good.

I don't think so.

I'm right there with you.
