  1. PNG is lucky to have Faircloth

    This is the hidden content, please

    I thought this was a particularly insightful PA News column about Coach Faircloth. I've been grateful to have him at the Reservation since he arrived. And, this may make me a heretic, but as happy as I am when PNG beats Nederland, I think the criticism over his 2-6 record against Nederland is idiotic. Stupid. Immature. Short-sighted. Foolish. It's one game. Sometime you win, sometimes you lose. His overall influence on the program has been very positive, and his absence will be felt when/if he leaves. PNG has never had such a good offensive coach, we have never had such a good mind for teaching fundamentals, and we have never even come close to having such a good QB coach as he is. I hope he stays forever, and if he never beats Nederland again, it won't diminish him even a little bit in my mind. PNG fans are amazing, but we whine too much.

    Proud of the Indians in Round 2.  Despite some iffy snaps and penalties, the Indians got a good win.  Willowridge had size...more so than PAM...I'm talking about kids that looked like grown men.  Can't say enough about the leadership from PN-G's QB.  He had to grind tonight and still found a way to make big runs and throws.

    To the fans complaining about the DBs - I understand what you are saying, but the Indians are not blessed with shutdown DBs like PAM.  We do not have 6'2" and 6'3" kids, with 4.5 speed, and ball hawking skills walking the hallways at PN-G High School.  The Indians have to roll with what they have on the roster.  And, the kids playing DB are doing some good things.  Are they perfect?  No.  But, they don't quit after a bad play. The same DB that gets heat from fans for playing too soft, or from those fans that like to gripe that he is too small, well, that same DB made another big play tonight in the 4Q when Willowridge had a throw down the field toward the end zone.  He was in position and he made the play.  All 5'6" or 5'7" and 125 lbs. of him made the play.  Those teams on the other sideline (Barbers Hill and Willowridge) will make some plays.  They are good teams.  Give them some credit, too.  Nonetheless, our kids fight, scrap, and they don't quit.  We had another great effort on defense...11 kids getting to the football.  The big guy at NG, #68, had a solid game.  Not tall, but he is wide.  When he gets going up the field, he ties up the OL and then the Indians LBs can make some plays.

    On to round 3...and how about the new RB? Not the biggest guy, but he hits the hole fast and will lower his pads for a few extra yards.  I'm not an official stats guy, but I would not be surprised if the QB and RB each had 100 - 125 yards.  QB made some big throws...I'm guessing 200+ yards through the air.  Need to clean up the snaps and penalties.  Glad the PAT kicking game was back.  Much better this week.  Better blocking, timing, and good kicks.  Nice job special teams coaches and players.  I'm still not a fan of the pooch kick.  I understand the reasoning behind it, but it is a head scratcher to give the other team the ball at the 40 yard line.  That is the end of my small complaint.  Happy to roll into the 3rd round.

    Go Indians.  Peace.

    I agree. And honestly, it's been that "little" DB who has been an absolute hero in so many situations, including tonight.  He is tough, smart, and fast. What else can we ask for? I almost feel like the complaining hasn't gone down one bit from year to year, no matter what our record is. 

  22. Port Neches-Groves v PA Memorial

    JV scores do show where the talent is, but it doesn't always translate to the varsity level. When I was in high school, PNG's freshman and JV teams would always dominate, but that didn't mean we dominated in varsity. That being said, I'm not arguing that doing well at the JV level absolutely does not mean you won't do well on varsity, only that it is not a guarantee. As we all know, different variables come into play for JV and Varsity. One good example, I remember soundly defeated WO-S my freshman year, then again at JV, but we lost at the varsity level the following year. 

  24. PNG vs PAM

    How is PAM's line play (offense and defense)? If RJ is forced into mistakes and pressure situations, I could see a few interceptions making a difference in PAM's favor. I think defensively PNG will be up to the task, at least in the fact that the Indians tackle better than any team the Titans have played so far. Which isn't to say that Memorial hasn't played anyone, just that PNG has some really decent, hard-hitting guys who wrap up. PNG will really need the offensive line to protect and open up some holes to extend drives. It seems to me that PAM makes a lot of mistakes. That could be key.
