"D-O-G-G-I-E-S Come on doggies do your best?" Come on folks, there is something wrong with that! I mean really, how does that pump you up?  ;D "I-N-D-I-A-N-S Scalp 'Em Indians, Scalp 'Em!" Now that'll getcha' goin! I will say this and it is not me being a Homer, but if you have ever been to a PNG Pep Rally and heard the intro that the band plays as they fill the seats, it is spine tingling. Starts out slow and builds up. Saw a video to it last year. If someone has a link, please post it.

Or is there a fall signing period for kids that will graduate early?

How is anyone supposed to know what you are talking about with no School name?

Don't forget, the Cowboys have spent a lot of time and energy in SETX over the last 20 years recruiting and have gotten some of their top talent. So to think that McNeese would play a "Vanilla Offense" against Lamar and not try to beat the tar outta the Cards is ludacris. ::)

[quote name="dd1" post="840291" timestamp="1283778654"] The 'no new inning" ploy is something that tournament directors use to make you think you are playing longer games.  The reality is that there is no difference between having a 1 hour and 15 minute time limit and finish the inning as there is with a 1 hour 20 minute time limit but no new inning will start with less than 5 minutes left in the game.  It just sounds longer.  javascript:void(0); [/quote] BINGO 75 minutes no new inning within 5 minutes = 70 minute games!

[quote name="Newbie" post="840049" timestamp="1283725448"] I stand by my top 4.  Central and Ozen are better than what the scores and/or results indicate.  If any of the other 20 4a teams played against either school the scores would have been just as bad if not worse. [/quote] PAM was much better than last year, but this scrimmage that you all keep refering to ended 14-7 PAM. And someone said something about all the three and outs PNG had in that scrimmage?? I don't remember any three and outs! PNG would put up a pretty good fight against both PAM and WB, may not beat 'em, but wouldn't get blown out.

[quote name="Cougtalk" post="840592" timestamp="1283811899"] Yeah this game was dumbfounding, cougs had 60 more yards than the Indians in the first half and 0 pts, Both first half scores were because of great field position (1 Cougs did to themselves, other good INT return.) [/quote] So whats your point? ::) Third Quarter is when the game was put away. All NDNs in the 3rd!

[quote name="FriendswoodFan" post="840118" timestamp="1283731918"] Dickinson is actually an okay 5A team.  PNG vs. TC will be close, but I look for TC to win by 3. [/quote] Same guy that predicted a blow out of WOS! ::) If TC doesn't throw the ball, it will be a long night for the Stingarees. PNG is tuffff against the run.

[quote name="PURPLE 4EVER" post="839256" timestamp="1283645837"] If Lumberton or LC-M opens with PA Memorial then West Brook, both those teams would also be 0 and 2. Central will be a better team for playing better competition. [/quote] It's not the losses to WB and PAM that has folks scratching their heads and doubting Central, it's the magnatude of the losses. Hey Bears Bear, did you forget about your Bears in that assesment? You can sugar coat it all you want, but Nacogdoches is a bad team (3-7 and 0-5) last year. I still think LCM will be top 4 in 20 4A.

State Championships: 20-4a  -4 19-4a  - 0 [/quote] How about these numbers bigdog.... 63 to 0 Sound familiar [/quote] He warned ya! ;D Hey no one is denying that Dayton is a very good team and has done well against 20-4A, but those other guys in 19 4A tend to ride the purple coattail year in and year out then get beat by 20 4A. They tend to brag about how great the district is when you guys (Dayton) beats one of our guys, when the truth is 19 4A from 2 down just doesnt stack up.

[quote name="tpriddy" post="839051" timestamp="1283633460"] Who is calling the plays for Lumberton this year? I noticed that Coach Chris Babin is back after going to Head Coach in Houston last year. I think this is having an impact on the Raiders this year. [b]Last year without him the Raiders turned the ball over more than normal it seamed[/b]. The offense seems to be clicking this year and making the neccesary game time adjustments. Hope we can stop piling up the injuries. Was it just me or did anybody else notice everytime the Raiders kicked an extra point the kicker would get hit late and only one flag came out.  [/quote] Never seen a coach turn over the ball??

>PNG at the top. Impressive against Crosby. Crosby did little until the 4th Q at 31-0 when PNG was playing off and subbing backups. GP beat perinial power CC Callalen  last night giving up only 8 points! A heart breaking 1 point loss to a very good team aint bad. Could easily be 2-0 against two teams that combined for 20 wins last year. >LCM defense gave up big numbers to a bad Nacogdoches team, but the offense dug em out. Not gonna happen every week in 20-4A. >Central has played two good 5A teams, but 93 points for a team that hangs its hat on defense?? The loss of Hale and the other LB may be more than most figured.   Also 7 points total on offense. Ouch. >Nederland should be better when and if Forney comes back, but the lines are still suspect. >Lumberton started out 4-0 last year and beat better teams last year in BH and (JJ)Silsbee, then struggled in 20-4A. >Livingston pounded on Jasper, but see Lumberton week 0. Looks like Jasper is in trouble this year. >Vidor played well against Tx High (but THS had not seen that type of offense before), BC pasted the pirates. Nuff said. >Ozen we will find out more this evening. Intriguing team. Lots of speed.

[quote name="SgtRey" post="838971" timestamp="1283628726"] I have to give the edge to the more expirienced QB...Hughes...Lumberton by a 7 or less.. [/quote] I agree. Gonna be close. Didn't the LTrain do this last year also to start out the season?

[quote name="GCMPats" post="836374" timestamp="1283359240"] I'm just glad GCM knocked Nederland out of the playoffs last year. That way they won't be too suprised when we beat them again this friday. ;D (Gotta love the Sun's in-depth journalism) [/quote] Nederland lost to Crosby in the playoffs last year not GCM. 20 4A      19 4A 33          13 38          7 30          8 ----------------- 101        28    OUCH!

I'll stick with my earlier assesment on D. Merka. Very good athlete. Won't play QB at TCU. I thought Merka was the better athlete, but Doty was the better QB. Good Luck Coogs. Maybe you guys can go on another big run like last year.

See that in a close game, one team was penalized times for over 100 yards and the other 5 times for about 50. Was there a 20 yard pass interference call? If so how does that happen at the HS level? Sounds like an exciting game. It does however look a little like the officiating was scewed one way.

[quote name="tappedout" post="836906" timestamp="1283446926"] Dylan Browning is back from last year and his leg is stronger than last year according to his dad. Don't know about a soccer player unless something happened to Browning that I have not heard about. [/quote] The young kicker must be #39. He was the only Sophomore announced at the Fire-It-Up rally last week. I heard that on the 4th down play our TE was lined up on the wrong side. We had just used our last TO so couldn't stop it. We ran left right into an unblocked LB who was on the line. We averaged 4 ypc on that same play throughout the game, when we lined up correctly. That said " I had no problem with the call versus an attempted 38 yard FG". It was a learning experience for our kids for sure. Lets take it out on the Coogs! They got whooped pretty bad last week 56-30 and we put it on them last year 37-7, so they should be some hungry Coogahs.

[quote name="PURPLE 4EVER" post="836142" timestamp="1283309144"] Last year Merka had a really good running back that gave them a legitimate 1 - 2 punch running combination from the backfield. I believe that running back graduated, they do have a platoon of running backs, but I don't think they are as good as the one from last year. The key to beating Crosby is getting the ball out of the QB's hands as quickly as possible. [/quote] Last year Merka had very little time to pass. He was either dropped in the backfield or rushed his passes. It was a long night for Crosby at The Reservation (37-7 PNG). Went back and looked and Crosby had 58 yards rushing on 24 carries last year (Merka had 14/35 yds). They had just over 200 total yards. How is the Crosby OLine this year? Could be the difference in the game again. Also noticed like I thought I remembered, that Harmon only had about 80 yards at a 4 ypc clip in the opener against BHill last season, so all those that are worried about Bertrands 70 yards and 4 ypc against a much better team in GP, I wouldn't run for the hills yet! PNG 37 Cros 7 (if Merka has no protection) 21 (if they give him time)

We got an easy 2 point's off of the swinging gate. heck, you ought to just show up to the booster club meeting's and tell Faircloth what you would do and maybe he would start thinking during a game, what would biaplayer do? [/quote] He got 1 point more than if he would've kicked the PAT.  Bravo....  He left 3 on the field, that would have won the game.  Both calls have to do with kicking....  Seems like PNG is very hesitant to put the kicker on the field. [/quote] Botched snap on earlier attempt and our kicker is returning from a torn ACL late last season (he was not with us when we played you guys). He had great range before the injury, but who knows now.

We havent played WOS since they dropped to 3A!

One thing to remember also about our kicker...He is returning from a torn ACL late last year. Not sure what his range is right now. Pre ACL tear, he could hit from 40-45.
