By Qb isn’t even touched until three yards deep

PNG drove and tried for a field goal. Blocked and run back about 39 yards. That one play typifies this whole game. Both sides of the line are being dominated by Bh

PNG’s defensive line has been Swiss cheese all season, and it’s killing us tonight

Bh score. Getting bad for purple

Nope

BH’s offensive and defensive lines are great

If png can’t get to that QB this hole is going to get deeper

21-7 eagles, right after PNG score

Well...

State trooper finds a rare blue eagle lying on the side of Interstate 10 near the 800 exit, shot full of arrows and missing its scalp. The only comment from the officer, while unceremoniously throwing the carcass in the trash, was,“That’s the dumbest-looking animal I’ve ever seen in my life, and not just because it’s so ugly. Last week I watched it try to fight a cougar, and it must have made at least six or seven costly mistakes — even the cougar seemed confused by how terribly the eagle fumbled away its chances. Thank goodness someone finally put it out of its misery.”

They are hoping to make the practice squad.

I agree WOS benefits from a cupcake district (minus Silsbee), but 55 still says something. The problem is the district is so small they only get four district games a season, right? Or five? So it will take them 7 or 8 more years to get to 90 and by then we might even know who the next president is.

And Disney signs for the movie rights at the end of the season. It's going to be really moving. At least one person will be carried off the field on the team's shoulders.

We might both be wrong. But it's been known to happen for a team that looks like it should be good to not meet expectations. It's not like PNG hasn't been frustrating to watch at times, though I think they've mostly played well despite a swiss-cheese run defense. In 1999 PNG went to state. In 2000 PNG returned a substantial portion of the starters from that team (minus the QB) and was ranked in the top ten (they may have been ranked #1 for all I know) and went 5-5. BH IS missing key pieces from last year - A lineman the size of Texas who is now at USC and the highly competent and accurate QB from last year. That doesn't mean they won't put it together. I just hope they don't put it together until next week

I agree PAM offense is predictable - it is the biggest thing (other than PAM turnovers and mistakes) that allowed PNG to stay in the game.

PNG expects the hosts to provide hair brushes (it's the only gentlemanly thing to do), but they can brush their own hair.

They are similar to PNG -- A lot of play action with QB run.

I should clarify what I mean by “BH seems kind of soft.” I don’t mean BH is a weak team, or that they don’t play with toughness. Their performance against PAM was plenty tough. I DO mean they don’t appear as big, athletic, fast, or in sync with one another as last year. They very well might be much better than I’m predicting, but after Crosby, they have to show it against PNG.

I feel confident for PNG. BH strikes me as kind of soft, and not particularly fast. PNG’s one major Achilles heal has been handling a fast running QB, and BH doesn’t seem to have that. And their passing game has not been especially dangerous, at least as compared to PNG. Even setting aside the Crosby game, BH doesn’t strike me as being definitely better than PNG. One area BH looked really strong in against PAM was its defensive line, and that was clear against Crosby as well. I’d definitely say that BH has a better defense than PNG, but not so much better that PNG won’t be able to move the ball. Also, BH’s offense seems to be the kind that PNG defense can deal with (no shifty, unpredictable QB with game-breaking speed like PAM, Beaumont United, and Nederland). PNG seems to have more weapons on offense too, and a clearly better, faster QB. The best comparison to BH on PNG’s schedule is Tomball - bigger school, not clearly better than PNG in any one area. PNG had that game in the bag, but for one or two significant mistakes, which have not repeated since. So if PNG avoids mistakes, it can look forward to a win. We also can’t ignore the BH implosion against Crosby - whatever problems led to that don’t just disappear overnight. I could be wrong, but I’m comfortable putting PNG as a one-score winner.

Barber's Hill coach accuses PNG of trying to cheat by turning football field into a giant iPad.

I think Vidor can pull it off.

Crosby by at least 20

If I’m able to go to this game, I’ll actually be on the home side too 😂. I’ll be sitting with my relatives who have kids at Barbers Hill.

Let's hear it.
