End of 1st. Tomball has the ball on their own 15-ish. 7-3 PNG. 

7-3 PNG. PNG just scored its first 1st quarter touchdown of the season. And the defense got away with just a field goal on the first drive for the first time this season. Bost + co look sharp tonight. 

My assessment: PNG played Tomball in 2018 and 2019. In 2018 PNG lost with Roschon Johnson sitting injured on the bench, and it was PNG's first game with their 2nd string QB. Even so, Tomball appeared weak and I have no doubt PNG would have beaten them soundly with RJ in the game, or even the next week with more time under the new QB. In 2019, PNG and Bost easily handled Tomball. My guess is PNG has the advantage tomorrow. I predict a three-score victory, and it will also be the first game that PNG makes a first-quarter stop, and the first game that PNG starts out in the lead.

If they’re anything remotely close to their neighbors, Tomball Memorial, then PN-G is in serious trouble.  

I'm hoping Tomball Memorial is the bigger, meaner cousin.

They had close games with Willis and Waller, Flanigan the HC over there now. 

 

Long as Png doesn't spot them 20+ pts they'll be fine. 

At this point I'd almost say PNG SHOULD spot them 20 points. We have no idea at this point if PNG can even execute a play without being down by 20. They turn into superheroes when down by 20. 

Thoughts? Anyone know anything about this Tomball team? 

PNG defense accidentally makes a stop in the 1st quarter; stunned, the team assumes it must be the 4th quarter and gets on the bus.

@Rez Ipsa , just moving forward, y’all DC need to tale more chances with different stuff and not let teams just keep doing the same thing all night and consistently move the ball.  If y’all shore that up, y’all will get through district as the champs.

good point - It would definitely help if we didn’t stay on auto pilot through the first two quarters. I think PNG is showing a lot of potential, tons of room to improve, and a lot of talent to work with. We’ll be in the mix for district.

Lesson learned. PNG spotting you 20 points pisses them off.

Hahaha

I have no problem with the offensive play calling.  Very good game plan vs PN-G. My problem is The Indians came out of halftime with a new offensive game plan and we made no adjustments on defense.  It all started with that zone read where Bost kept it (got about 10 yards a pop). That opened up those slant plays.  Indians had maybe 60 yards of total offense in the first half and in the second half, I’m willing to bet they had almost 350 yards of offense.  You cannot lose a game when you were up 26-0. But I did take some positives from this game.  
 

1. BU’s Thomas is a gamer and will be a force in this district.

2. The young Safety Porchia did really well in getting his hands out to deflect passes.  
3. Teams won’t be picking on #2 Rivers

4. Our young o-line held their own all night.

5. PN-G’s Bost is the truth.

6. PNG’s defensive issues is NOT a players issue.  Take that however you want to take it.

7. On Texan Live, I don’t know who I hate the most out of the Camera Man or the audio guy.

Good take. My thoughts on PNG's defense are that they seemed to be in the right position more in the second half than in the first, but there were still way to many arm and hand tackles. These might be fixable problems. What worries me the most is that the defense has been entirely unprepared for the first quarter two games in a row. Maybe that can be fixed too. The defense deserves some credit for making a few key plays. I have to wonder why BU didn't throw more, as they did so successfully nearly every time they tried. Near the end, it was a given they would run. BU's QB is extremely fast. The BU O-line deserves a huge shoutout as well. The punched holes in PNG all night.

Soulja per our phone call: i told you png was going to come back to win. 

You were more confident than me. I have to eat crow on criticizing the PNG D ... they put something together to make it work.

Final...

A good game. Hate to see someone lose it. The players from both sides were encouraging the other side's players through the whole game. You'd almost think they were all having fun.  

PNG holds BU on 4th down. PNG ball. 

Or was PNG's first touchdown before BU hit 26? 

Since going down 26-0, PNG has outscored BU 40-11, correct? 

5:56 remaining. 

Touchdown PNG. 40-37 PNG on top. 

Cameraman is fired. 

TD BU. 37-33 BU on top, pending extra point. 

Dear cameraman, I don't care what the PNG fans look like. Show the play. 

Just now, BMTSoulja1 said:

I just wanna slap that cameraman!!!

Seriously. Are they watching at all? 

PNG scored. Went for 2. BU interception and run back for the 2. PNG on top 33-31. 4th quarter.

Probably about to be worse as Crosby throws a pick on their end of the field. Crosby coach is losing his players. He is going to have to establish some unity. 

Hope they can get it together for later games.

The keeper on the zone read is the adjustment they made.  It's killing is and we haven't adjusted to that.

Still better than PNG's "the other QB can do whatever he wants" problem. 

I guess the volume button on my phone is now solely to mute the commercials. Still no game sound.
