Montgomery by at least 2 TD’s.  Nederland couldn’t stop a freshman QB at home on sr night.  How will they stop Montgomery’s QB who has more experience?  

Huntsville’s freshman qb is faster than Montgomery’s qb

McNeal Jr. was at one of the Katy ISD schools his Fresh, Soph years, Houston Heights last year and now SOC….but I’m sure all that moving has NOTHING to do with football…purely for EDUCATIONAL reasons 🙄

SOC had trouble getting to our QB in the state game. They immediately went shopping and announced the Red Oak pass rusher - a highly touted D1 prospect — was transferring within a few weeks after the championship. All for non-football reasons, of course.

I know I can’t keep up with the gurus on here. Ned/PNG is over by over a week. Need to focus on the future. Here’s the way I see it. Start of season, focus on DC. If that’s not in the cards, make the playoffs. To me, seeding is only good for the first round, because on paper, the lesser team should be gone…..on paper. Here’s a scenario. Let’s say Nederland gets the top seed, our bi-district opponent will be #4 seed from another district. So we “dodged the dreaded #1 seed matchup. Woooooo. Sooner or later, should Nederland keep advancing, they are going to meet that #1 seed or a team of equal or higher caliber. So what difference does it really make….NONE. Simply tighten your chin straps and play football. Whatever happens, happens. Good luck to all teams in our district.

Lamar1996, could you please post something with at least a 4th grade mentality?

For what it’s worth, I think Ned matches up really well with Texas High, in the event they were to ever play.

Yep, just wins, Dogs got one to go get Friday for the DC…. Moving on

That’s the best thing about the new coach. He seems to be good at keeping things about the next play.

Well I've watch SOC play and they don't impress me at all.they need a QB.and Ill take either one of them against them.

You’re much more optimistic than me, but I like to hear it.

Are you 12? You seem very hurt. Laughing at a team’s loss when that very team beat you on your home turf and ended your 22 game winning streak? It’s fine, I’m sure we’ll be laughing about that for quite some time. 

No one cares about the win streak. Or, if they do, they shouldn’t. And it sure seems like PnG recovered from losing better than Nederland recovered from winning. Almost as if rankings and win streaks don’t matter.

PNG couldn’t stop Hubert if their life depended on it. I can’t imagine the numbers the “freshman qb” would put up against the baby soft Port Neches D. 

You do realize PnG already played against Huntsville and that exact kid played the entire game all over the field? Which means when Nederland played Huntsville, Hville was down a starter at Rb and a rotator at wr?  And Huntsville first qb is no slouch. PNG already played these guys, you don’t need to deal in fantasy. 

Montgomery has a good offense. They depend a little too much on big plays. It’s either a home run or nothing for them. But, overall PNG did a good job last night. And the offense continues to move the ball despite our two best RBs nursing injuries from as far back as the Huntsville game. Not perfect, but who is? This is starting to feel like one of those seasons where we’re battle tested and struggling, but overall getting better. We’ve got a great head coach. It will come together.

Great game tonight. Huntsville is the best team we’ve played in my opinion. Congrats on a hard fought win.

For all you guys saying Ned finishes 4th if they lose to Montgomery, I’m not sure that’s correct. I think head to head is the tiebreaker in two way ties. In 3 way ties, I think it goes to point differential amongst the tied teams. Therefore, the current points for the teams that would be tied 5-2 (if Montgomery beats Ned) would be:

Huntsville +21 (15 point win vs Mont and 6 point win vs Ned

Nederland -6 (6 point loss to Huntsville)

Montgomery -15 (15 point loss to Huntsville)

If this is the case, wouldn’t Montgomery have to beat Ned by 5 or more to not be the #4 seed?

 

Huntsville beat both Montgomery and Nederland. And, if Ned loses to Montgomery, Ned will have lost to both Huntsville and Montgomery. I’d think that makes it easy. Huntsville, Montgomery, then Nederland. But, I’m not a rules expert. I just can’t see it making sense that we’d have to go to points when one team has beaten both of the other two and one team has lost to both of the other two. Still, the point will be moot if Nederland beats Montgomery.

Convenient how all the PNG fans are in here down talking Nederland now. They didn’t have much to say last week when Ned put belt to that ass. 

Only one has said anything negative and they aren’t even from PNG. Don’t try to make it more than it is.

All 4 of PNG’s games against their top 4 competitors were one score games.  This District has been probably the most exciting district race I can remember.  

It’s insane. In week 10 the current 1st place could fall as far as 4th.

That looked like a backwards pass recovered for a PNG TD.  Ref called it incomplete immediately 

Should have gone to us. It was clearly backwards.

lol rank in state for only one week.  

I wish we weren’t ranked. Now Ned can just focus on ball.

I had a feeling on this one. 

I hate those. 

I’m not going to be specific about any player or position group so as to not run afoul of rules, but there is definitely a weak portion to our defense and other teams know it

Offensive plays not like the past. Very predictable

Ironically, we were more unpredictable when we ran it up the middle nearly every play last season. And our pass plays were a natural compliment to our run game.

Bailey has regressed this year. I think it’s due to the inexperienced Offensive Coordinator and poor play calling. 

The defense doesn’t even have to make a read. We broadcast every pass and they’re all basically post routes 

Just now, PNGFaithful said:

Nederland didn’t either. 

Nederland matched up fine in the trenches, and they attacked our blocking lanes better than anyone all season. There were portions of the game where their D line made our o-line look silly, and I wish we had their Lb coach. I’m saying I don’t know that Montgomery can do what Nederland did. 

I have more thoughts to add later, but for now I’ll say I don’t think Montgomery matches up with PNG in the trenches, but they might be better equipped to take advantage of our secondary than anyone we’ve played so far.

I may have made a rush to judgement last night and feel the need to apologize to the players and fans of PNG. At the time, I didn’t realize that the field was being rushed by fans when the PNG players were walking off the field. I said it was unsportsmanlike and I was wrong. I believe strongly in sportsmanship and, let’s face it, in every sport from the pros down, everything has become “in your face” after every play. To me, personal celebration after making routine plays is a slap in the face to your teammates who, without them on the field, could you have still made the play? My love for the game keeps me viewing, so I have to endure it. Well, enough for my rant.

To all of the PNG faithful, I apologize for my rush to judgement.

No need to apologize to anyone, but you’re a class act regardless. And, I agree there’s too much “in your face” in sports. It defeats the purpose of it, throws the whole thing off. I like the handshake after because it’s a least a symbolic reminder that opponents aren’t enemies. For some related history, I’ve always been inspired by the tribute the British showed the Red Baron after they finally killed him. He had shot down many of their comrades and had of course been a feared enemy, but since he was killed behind British lines they interred him with full military honors. There’s a picture of the allied soldiers standing reverently at his funeral that gives me chills. That’s the kind of attitude I’d like to see coaches instill in players. On that note, I watched Ayden Sunday rush across the field to console Conner Bailey after last Friday’s game. He’s carried Nederland for three years, and suffered through a couple bad seasons, and two MCM losses — That his first thought was of his opponent and not celebrating with his classmates says a lot.

Obviously you missed my post on page 7.

I guess I did. I’ll find it 

Huntsville qb is a wild card. He’s getting his first start. Extremely athletic. He might match Hubert in a foot race. Nederland can stop a run game, but his ability to tuck it and run won’t be something Ned can discount. Still, have to give a very slight edge to Nederland in this.

Lost the streak and #1. No congrats at all.

The students ran on the field. You saw it, everyone saw it - If I was the coach I would have told the png players to skip the handshakes. It’s safer. No need to pretend it’s anything but that.

Which round of the playoffs could NED and PNG meet again? The 2nd or 3rd? That would be insane. And I’m on vacation the first two weeks of playoffs 🫠

If we are the 1st and 4th seed, we’d  meet in the 3rd round. If we’re the 2nd and 3rd we’d meet in the 3rd round. If one of us is 1st or 4th and the other is 2nd or 3rd we’d only meet in the 4th round.

PN-G will either drop the first or second game. I bleed purple and white but this team doesn't have it AT ALL.

 

We’ll win game one. It’s likely against Mount Pleasant and they’re not good.
