If Silsbee doesn't punt the ball here, I give up.

I love watching pass plays on texanlive. Gotta watch the qbs reaction to know if the ball is caught lol

Well I brought my Purple Cool aid to the game then spilt it all over me and left at the half. I mainly came to watch RJ because you don’t get to see a kid like that come through the area too often. Goodluck at UT I’ll definitely be following :).  For  PNG it always sucks to lose , but like most have said a lot of teams including mine would had loved to been there last night. 

Thanks for the welcome,  appreciate the Cougars warming the court up for the past 3 weeks.

Yeah, strange why Herman wants him....or the other to Div 1 teams.....don't they see he's vanilla....lol....

They have 4 RJ's on offense....lol

This has nothing to do with coaching, it’s all about FBM being better. Their team speed is unreal 

More than tackling drills

We are talking about measuring fan enthusiasm for today's game. CardinalBacker tried to use a relatively quiet game thread as evidence that PNG fans don't care about the outcome of the game. I used what will likely be a huge PNG crowd tonight as evidence that PNG fans do, in fact, care about the outcome of the game. That isn't a mental disorder -- It is drawing conclusions based on observable realities.  To say that the fact that I mentioned fan attendance means that PNG fans are obsessed with numbers is to grossly distort what I said. 
 

Unfortunately, the hit is not on the video. It was the best 15-yard penalty in PNG history. Lamarque did not want to catch anything over the middle after that hit. At any rate I do have the game on video

I don't, but I witnessed the hit. It almost knocked me out in the stands. Lol

Cant make it but , I will be listening for sure........

Thanks! Hope you and all of Nederland can make it out to the game. And wear your black and gold so people know Nederland is there. 

The cakewalk is over......Good luck to the Injuns!!!!

If I remember right LM had went 3 straight years to the finals, winning once during that time. My original post was in reference to how dominate LM was in the Houston area and nobody gave PNG a chance. PNG rolled into the dome and beat them behind Long and a stout D including the dome rocking hit of Gohlke (RIP). That hit took the soul of La Marque. That's the type of performance needed in this game. Don't see PNG winning a shootout. IMO, PNG will need to win time of possession and have long time consuming drives that end in points, and get some big stops on Defense and couple of turnovers.
Somebody needs to step up on the D and get that old school PNG defense swag back.

In today's game, the hit by Chris Gohlke on the LaMarque WR would be targeting and he would be ejected from the game.  I'm not taking a jab at Chris Gohlke.  My comment is more about how the game of football has changed in the past 19 years.  In 1999, that type of hit was not frowned upon.  DBs were coached to hammer WRs running seam routes. PN-G was penalized for the hit (15 yards for unnecessary roughness), but there was no doubt that the hit changed the game.  LaMarque WRs were looking for the hammer when running up the seams or running crossing routes. That hit today would be on You Tube and people across the globe would be screaming to shut down the Texas high school playoffs.
Dustin Long ran for his life much of the night inside the Astrodome, but he extended plays and hit PN-G WRs over the top and behind the deep zones all night long.  As I remember, the first two series were scripted by PN-G.  The Indians dinked and dunked with some quick and short passes.  Once LaMarque rolled up tight coverage, Dustin Long burned them over the top.  He was on fire that night throwing lasers inside the Dome.  The defense played lights out.  The LaMarque RB got his yards, but the Indians shut him down around the goal line.  22-6.
Good memories.
Go Indians.  Peace.

The key to that game was on field adjustments by D Long and Mike Long. Lamarque had been to 4 in a row, not sure if they had won any, but they where the team you had to beat to get to the dance. D Long threw behind the zone all night and it worked. And defensively Gholke put the nastiest hit on a receiver I have ever seen in high school football. That was the 2 differences, great on field adjustments, and a defense that laid the wood... Will take a special game this go around as well. If we go in with the same ole, our only hope is a shootout. Fort Bend will get 50++.... We need timely turnovers, great special teams play, the ability to stay within 2 scores, and momentum late in the 4th in order to pull it off.

Same stuff was said in 1999 about La Marque. They had won numerous state championships. Y'all remember what happened?

That was a great day. We'd all love for history to repeat itself. The key there was PNG's punishing defense. Our defense has gotten better and better from week to week. If we can avoid any big mistakes and make sure open field tackles, we can keep ourselves in the game. We shot ourselves in the foot against College Station in 2016 with big mistakes, and College Station capitalized. FB Marshall will do the same. 

Need to merge the two threads.

I just don't see PNG holding Fort Bend Marshall to under 49 PNG can get it done but it'll take over 50 to do it 

We’ve got to find a Running Back!!!! I have a feeling FB Marshall will stack the line to stop Shug!!

Defense gonna have to play above themselves in this one. With that said, FBM runs the ball a lot. That may be a plus because I think our Defense is stronger against the run. Like I said looking for positives

Oh I bet BH , Crosby ( if they can get the money) and Dayton ( if they still like football)  will be there. Heck Baytown may come to just to see how to play football
 
did I miss offending anyone?
