I was finally able to watch the video from that angle -- That ball was not clearly uncatchable. "Clearly" is the key to me. The ball "might" not have been caught, but the DB "clearly" pushed the receiver to obstruct the path to the ball, and the ball only looks so far away because of that obstruction. Without that, the receiver would have been able to make a play on the ball. No one, PNG fan or Nederland, wants the game to go on a penalty, but the idea that there wasn't interference is not defensible, in my opinion.

I seen this angle.  Looks to me if the Nederland player didn’t push off on the PNG receiver, kid would’ve at least put a hand on the football.  

Both head coaches must agree on officials or it goes to the UIL and they assign the crew. Each head coach grades the crew, probably the day after the game

Game hinged on many plays, dropped pick six with Ned up 14-0, clutch kicker, nails FG and perfect onside kick, great call by Faircloth on the half back pass when their offense couldn't get going, 3rd and 25 conversion on a perfect throw and catch.... lots of plays decide a winner and loser

Never play defense? Held Nederland to 7 in second half with starting QB? Really did you watch the game? Give a little credit. I heard on here that Nederland was going to put up 40? I think the defense did a pretty good job. Proud of the boys. Both teams played hard. 

Is there a way for both coaches to file a complaint about the officiating crew? They may be the worst overall I’ve ever seen. They never seemed to know what they wanted to do, and they appeared determined to make the game and the outcome about themselves. I don’t know if there is a process for that, or what that process would be. 

If PNG should be embarrassed, how should Nederland feel? Give me a break, it was a hard fought, good game, and someone has to lose. I’d say both teams should be proud. 

It was an entertaining game. You hate to see someone lose it. See ya’ll next year and good luck to the Bulldogs the rest of the season. 

Even the announcers on texanlive said that penalty was impossible to miss. It's not like the refs are required to keep their flags in their pocket with an obvious penalty just because it's a game changer. 

Officials nitpicked PNG the entire game. I don't have a lot of sympathy for anyone claiming the officiating was against Nederland. That last penalty was significant, but the officials were AWFUL all night, and Nederland benefitted from it as well. In the end, PNG made one more play. That's almost always how this game goes. And as poorly as PNG tackled, Nederland had plenty of chances to score. 

Ned #10 is an outstanding RB.  Vision, tough runner, quickness, and speed.  He is not going down on first contact or with arm tackles.  When Ned loaded up and ran on the right side, good things happened.  Ned has some meat on the OL and they can move the line of scrimmage.   When #10 cuts it back, he can take it to the house in a hurry.  PN-G got a TO and had a shot at the end for the W.  As usual, the last team with the ball wins.  Great HS football game.  It  could have gone either way.  Not sure why anyone would be down on PN-G or Ned.  We both have issues, but who doesn't?  The PN-G defense is not the best, but our kids are coachable and playing hard.  I'll take it.  Ned can correct some things and move on to the next game.  I feel like other teams need to worry about PN-G and Ned.  The Indians and Dogs will have opportunities to grab a W in each and every game, Barbers Hill and Crosby included.  In each game, if things break right, if some variables go our way, then PN-G will have its shot to get a W...same for Ned.  No reason for either team to hang its head or throw in the towel.  Lots of football left in district.  15 - 18 year old kids make mistakes.  It happens.  Get up and go play.
Go Indians.  Peace.

I did. I do love this site. You guys do a great job of monitoring each other. Facebook has a post on it that I think y’all might want to see. But hey let’s move on. Let’s make some noise in this district 

Your right my bad. First post. Not bitter but just wanted a clean game. I didn’t like the late hit out of bounds on PNGs QB either. Best of luck to both teams going forward. If y’all have to kick me off well I understand. 

Calling out a player by number with such a baseless accusation - that he intentionally injured another player - strikes me as a violation of the rules of the forum, not that I’m in charge. It’s also libel. 

You really think he tried to hurt him? That is plain ridiculous. I guess when #1 hit Bost all the way on the track that was ok because Bost wasn't hurt. #53 should have been penalized but to everyone acting like it was a calculated move to take the QB out I have some tin foil for you. 

This is the truth.  I've never seen a kicker swing momentum like that, busts a FG then pops an incredible inside kick

The difference was the back to back fumbles.. and losing the last one. That’s not on Barrow. Too many potential interceptions right through our hands.... actually Faircloth played keep away like Neumann did.... Hats off to the injuns, we had our chances, and didn’t capitalize.

Great HS football game by both teams.  As usual, it came down to a handful of plays.  Can't say enough great things about Blake Bost slinging the ball around the yard and leading his team to overcome a 14-0 deficit.  PN-G outscoring Ned 22-7 is not because of the referees.  The PN-G TE made the catch of a lifetime.  Good job.  Congrats to all of the kids for playing your ass off and giving the fans a great game.  Tip of the cap to Ned, nice field and terrific RB #10.  Glad PN-G grabbed a TO and made some plays to get a W.  Now, fist bump to the Ned fans, back to social distancing, and see you next year.
Go Indians.  Peace.

I picked PNG to win by a score.  Congrats, Indians.

That one wasn’t as clear as the pi that should have been called 2 plays before.  Guy was all over nail.  

These officials need to get their stuff together. This game is being so poorly officiated.

Bost  can sling the football
