PN-G did everything it needed to do to stifle the SOC offense in the first half. SOC changed the gameplan in the second half and started throwing the ball around a lot more.  Remember, up to that point in the season, SOC fielded a rush-heavy offense that hadn't been forced into the passing game very often. Any time PN-G tried to adjust to SOC's newfound passing game, SOC would go right back to running the ball. It was good coaching by SOC to keep the PN-G defense off balance and it worked.
With the amount of talent SOC brought to the table, every coach in the state would be hard-pressed to find a way to make fourth quarter adjustments for that move.

I don't know  its hard to adjust to SOC giant WR'S running over PNG small secondary last year, hopefully PNG has beefed up in the secondary. PNG  great team with a great coach! 

I agree. I’m not saying Lamar is doing the right thing. When you have a support deficit in the public, doubling down on petty, hostile behavior isn’t going to help build bridges. Lamar should be going nuts to court local support. Like, every player from both playoff teams should get a jersey, other swag, just anything to make sure the players have good memories of Lamar. And maybe they’ll get more fans to Lamar games too. 

I share the concern. Not that we’re not hard to beat - PNg’s been pretty dang hard to beat. But, I share the concern that we’ll come up against a team we can’t move the ball running against, and won’t make adjustments. Which is exactly what happened against SOC last season. SOC adjusted in the second half. PNG didn’t .  

Two losses are to the favorites to win 6ad1 and 6aD2. Still counts for good experience - they’ve played both teams that are at least in the top three in the state (counting north shore, assuming qb is healthy). No other 5ad2 team has that experience, even if it’s in losses. And, they’ve beaten Midlothian Heritage, Lancaster (still in 5ad1 playoffs), and Melissa. Not bad at all.

The zip he puts on the ball and accuracy is hard to intercept. Hell of a sophomore. Ice in his veins.

2 interceptions on the season that I can remember.  They did not cause us any harm.  High percentage throws with a negative outcome.  He has taken very good care of the ball.  One sack with a fumble against a very good defense.  Minimal mistakes, especially for a sophomore.  He has done an outstanding job at QB this season!

well you just jinxed him for this week.

I've thought the same thing; but they sure do seem to run a lot of set-up plays. I'm sure they know what they're doing, but hopefully will not out-think themselves. Regardless, PNG will be ready. 

Not only that - If we make it to state, it’s not going to work against Soc or Lovejoy. 

A lot of times a play that will not work is setting up a play that will work. 

If Coach McCrary was smart he would pull up the tape when they played Liberty Hill and implement it... the constant running plays in between the tackles didn't work vs Lake Creek and won't work vs. Huntsville...you have big tall receivers use them

Pulling for you Indians.  If we can't be there then ya'll are next best thing. 
Defense wins championships.  I heard that somewhere before.
 

Newton pulling for the I N D I A N S.

Definitely doesn't like either one. Not sure you read his comments last week, I doubt he yaps this week, then again he's probably Huntsville #1 fan this week 🤷🏾‍♂️

I meant to already stopped by and say "Grear win the other night Indians!" yall making the Triangle proud once again.
Jasper is pulling for ya! wishing you the best of luck the rest of the way!

I’d expect them to bring at least as many as Montgomery Lake Creek, but I’m predicting more. 

Also hopefully that Pieper QB is okay, took a shot late in the last game. 

If Lovejoy doesn't pull it off, I don't know that anyone does.  Lovejoy is good, good.  Beat Melissa 28-7, who SOC beat by a touchdown last week.  They played a tough schedule as well, which will have them prepared.  The Lovejoy/SOC game this week is the one I'm most interested in in the state not involving an SETX team.  

It has been confirmed it is NRG

All are in the regional finals.  Not bad for those schools and communities.....
Are there anymore I may have missed?

I could see Lovejoy beating SOC - Their receivers are elite. Probably the most stacked offensive team in 5aD2. But, the qb is going to have to have time to throw, and SOC showed against Melissa that they can take that time away. Whichever we face , if we make it that far, is going to be a tall order. And this is assuming, I think correctly, that neither Frisco Emerson nor Colleyville Heritage will be waiting for us in Arlington.
