Texan Live appears to be down. 

PNG 35- KW Park 14. 3rd Q. PNG defense has tightened up in this quarter. 

End of first half. 28-14 PNg. 

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.

So funny thing is with COVID the idea of Crosby playing in December seems far more reasonable then when the statement was made. 

The MECCA makes it to December, no matter what haha

In terms of color scheme I was thinking the Jersey should be purple and white stripes. Makes for a more original design.

 

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

We were over 100 under the cutoff don't think that means we are one of the biggest. Looking at those official numbers we are a bigger 5ad2 but there are a lot of schools between 1800-1900 in the state. We have to get bigger faster than all of those do to get in D1. 

That's a good point.

I know it's been said many times but I just can't get over how the once and proud mighty LaMarque Cougar football program has fallen so far. I would say they are not even a shell of what they used to be.

Lost last night to my Silsbee Tigers 50-6.

I know there are a lot of factors involved but dang.

It really is sad.

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.

It amazes me that PN-G who voices "tradition" at every turn, takes the field in grey and white uniforms. It would be great to see the deep purple uniforms again. The team looked so generic from the upper half of the bleachers Friday night.    

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

You need  3 good lineman in a 3 man front. Nose has to be a LOAD and demands a double team every snap. The other 2 have to be salty as well. No offense but if the Injuns dont have 3 good ones.....They are unlikely to have 4. The spread has changed things and alot of Defenses drop more in coverage by going with a 3 man front.....No doubt there's an X and O problem but a Jimmy and Joe problem 2. JMO

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.

If PNG makes changes on defense, this game might not be a good one to decide if the results were good. Kpark is not a very good team at all. On the other hand, if PNG struggles, like I said, KPark is not very good at all. 

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.

I don't like singling out a player but for high praise I will. #8. That kid is in on almost every play. We need more of that.

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.

#7 needs to play both ways. Nederland has a kid do it every year. #18 was a 1st team all district player last year and plays about 50% of the offensive snaps. He is big and athletic. There is no reason why he cant get some time at LB or DE. No offense to the kids playing on the D line but we have 2 kids over 200 pounds on defense and they expect 3 DL to take on 5 OL.   

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.

Even playing mistake free on offense & special teams, anyone can beat PNG if they can find a way to run the football.  Indians have been ineffective in the run defense.  Must wrap up tackles!!!

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.

If you would stop providing the pregame meals maybe they would be healthy enough to make defensive stops during games. 🤷🏾‍♂️😁

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