[quote name="HoopInsider_Cooper" post="711291" timestamp="1258524101"] [font=Courier]I'm betting if Todd Dodge loses to Army this weekend at home, he will be fired at the end of the season. [/font] [/quote] You'd lose that bet. Todd has one more year. Remember the bright spot for NT right now is a Freshman QB named Riley! He gets one more crack at it.

[quote name="Cap Rock Brewing Co." post="710534" timestamp="1258463252"] Look, PN-G has all of the tradition and will have 10,000 crazy fans there. But before you go out and make blanket statements about who has a superior coach, you may want to do a little research. Most of Brenham's coaching staff including the HC (Glen West) played for and learned under Gordon Wood in Brownwood. In fact, Glen West's father was the OC at Brownwood when the legendary Gordon Wood was the coach. West has been a winner everywhere he has gone. I'm not saying Faircloth is bad, he has done a fabulous job.  By the way, historians correct me if I'm wrong but I believe West is 149-57-1 as a HC overall. [/quote] Would that be the same Brownwood that Brandon Faircloth attended and graduated from before he went on to coach at three of the premiere Texas HS Football Programs of the more recent history in Austin Westlake, Highland Park and Odessa Permian?? Yes, I believe it WOOD be. ;) You are correct about the fact that West has been a winner, but a couple of years ago he had one of the great assemblies of talent in 4A football in recent years with headliners Jarrett Lee and Collins at WR along with a huge O-Line and D-line and monster LBs. Major DI talent at just about every position, and how did that season end?? A great coach would have won it all with that talent. Now I won't say our PNG NDNS wil"beat them like a drum", but I like our chances against this group of Cubs.

[quote name="tc35" post="710773" timestamp="1258482426"] I'm sure no one would agree with me and I hope that I'm wrong but... PNG has not played the same quality of competiton that Brenham has and as a matter of fact we have only played against 3 teams with winning records. Brenham defense is very fast and that has given us problems because we lack overall team speed on both sides of the ball.  That being said if we can throw the ball effectively then the game could be close but will be low scoring.. My pick -- Brenham 21 -- PNG 14. [/quote] Good Point about PNG only playing three teams with winning records, but Brehnam only played four teams with winning records and lost one of them (no doubt to a very good 5A) and lost to a team with a loosing record. Overall PNG's opponents combined for a 0.500 winning percentage. Brehnams on the other hand are 0.466. Not sure any of this really matters come Friday night. I think the team with the least amount of mistakes wins. If PNG can run on the Cubs like some of the other top teams they have faced have PNG will keep hold the time of possession game and come out on top.

[quote name="cats55" post="710696" timestamp="1258475275"] PNG wont let anyone play at their stadium. You would think they would want to show it off and make some extra money. [/quote] That's only this year while the High School construction is going on around the stadium. Next year there will be more parking and less congestion and the stadium will be available as a playoff venue.

[quote name="Cougtalk" post="709333" timestamp="1258337979"] I'll give them their dues those were the same Cornerbacks that Galena park riped up CONGRATS YOUR OFFENSE SCORED LIKE GALENA PARKS (MINUS A COUPLE TDS) [/quote] ??MY OFFENSE?? My teams offense ripped your Coogs for 30 first half points! And Nederlands offense almost ripped your Coogs for 30 second half points! Believe what you want! I know what I saw...the same Coogs on defense and offense in the 4th that were there in the 1st. The game is on the PA News. Go check it for yourself.

And remind me again FW fan, how all that adds up to how many Football State Titles the Mustangs have played for?? This is a football thread! Stay focused.

Bingo Knightrider. Look we now root for eachother to meet up again, because if it happens we will have proven to Region III that SETX is where it is at on Friday Nights and two of us will be final 4!

I saw the game...Crosby never took out anyone. Nederland just fought back. Give credit were credit is due. Crosby snuck out of Woodforest very lucky that they didn't get embaressed by a fourth quarter rally. Crosby was the better team no doubt, but someone needs to remind them that in the GT we play 48 minute football games! Congrats to all winners this weekend now keep plowwing forward so that we get two more 19 4A vs 20 4A games! Until then nothing was settled in the playoffs! Regular Season belongs to 20 4A and the post season was a draw. No one can argue with the truth.

[quote name="SgtRey" post="709253" timestamp="1258334761"] North Shore [b]WAS [/b] probably the biggest team we've seen... [/quote] WAS!!!FB HIGHTOWER comes in with a bunch of guys that look like Hightower from Police Academy! ;D

19 4A's top team gives up 29 and struggles to beat 20 4A's #3. WOW! I am finally starting to see the light! 19 4A is so much better  ::) How Crosby ever beat Dayton and BH is beyond me.

24 turnovers against HT....OUCH.  :o

Great job ladies. Once again another good game with you gals. You really hit the ball well against us. We like to think we got you gals going for the day! ;D I wish we would have stuck around a little while to see Mikey's bombs. Congrats on what looks to be the begining of a great year.

Hooks is going nowhere anytime soon. This group was mostly underclassmen and his freshman group are big time. He will stick around at least 3 more seasons.

[quote name="liltex" post="705790" timestamp="1258121489"] Stevieray I'm w/you what's the deal?I did not see La Marque,TX City,Friendswood,Bay City,PNG,Garland,Odessa Permian,Plano and many more. [/quote] That list was ACTIVE consecutive playoff appearances. All of the teams you mentioned have missed the playoffs in recent years at som point.

A lot of people going to HS football games Friday night. The PNG faithful will be in Baytown and a lot of the Beaumont crowd will be at the Babe! Could be a small crowd. I will be there Monday, but I did give my ticks away so someone will be there in my place!

One of these yeahhoos can't even follow his own bracket! Jerry Forrest picked Lake Dallas to beat Aledo in the quarters, but then had Aledo winning it all in DII. Go figure.

Funny stuff there! ;D They have Denton Guyer ranked one spot ahead of the Denton Ryan team that pasted them last week 50-29. Both have identical 9-1 records.

I don't think Faircloth didn't want to flip home and home because of the lack of field turf at BH...I am positive it was the lack of seating!

[quote name="rollinac" post="703184" timestamp="1257827843"] It's only Monday and Saturday can't get here quickly enough!  Welcome to the playoffs Vidor; I hear it's been awhile.  You've seen the spread offense from PNG and Nederland [b]but my guess is you haven't seen a 3-4 defense this season.  Gonna be coming at you from all angles Saturday[/b] [/quote] Actually they have seen a 3-4 this season...PNG. Vidor ran 37 times for 182 yards, but Pitman went 60+ on the first play of the game for Vidor and our guys clamped down after that! thats 36/122 or 3.4 ypc! That's not good for a team that don't throw much. I think Vidor has to come out with some playaction early and more often to soften up the middle. Gotta keep those speedy Dayton LB's and DB's guessing.

I really want to see a 20-4A sweep, but Dayton wins this one. Dayton is faster and has the better coaching staff which will translate to being prepared to stop Vidors offense.

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="700130" timestamp="1257570757"]Players from Central moving the pile and then break out the pile and then you call him down where he was first hit at.  [/quote] Remember the whistle blew several times on the play and our guys let up which is why he "broke free". A few plays later when PNG had the ball Harmon is about to go down (not in a pile) and the official (who had been swallowing the whistle all night) blows it as Harmon keeps his balance and breaks the tackle. Even the official knew he blew it. He was shaking his head yes, when our coaches got on to him about it. I do agree that alot of penalties late in the game?? Mostly the holding calls?? didn't see them. I did see however the hit to the helmet on the QB! Though I don't agree with the penalty as a whole...It is a rule and it was valid. Great game either way. Jags will stir it up in what prooves to be a tuff D1 this year. Anyone of those undefeated top ranked teams that take the Jags lightly and underestimates those three losses, is in for a shock!!

Hale gets my vote for Defensive MVP in this district. Hands down. He was stellar all night. Harmon never broke a long run and that had a lot to do with Mr. Hales tackling ability. Central's LB's did a great job of tackling. Not many broken tackles. PNG on the other hand spent much of the evening trying to strip the ball and the Central backs did an outstanding job of keeping their legs churning to break those tackles. Two very good teams in one very wild game that we will all remember for years to come. Thank you to both teams for your passion for the game and entertaining us all. Good luck to the Jags. Beat the h3!! outa Goose Creek!!!

Pretty sure that Livingston would need to beat Vidor by 14 or more assuming Nederland beats Lumberton (probable) and Ozen beats LCM (possible). That creates a three way tie with Vidor, Ozev and Livingston and they would have all beaten each other which then goes to the Tie Breaker points against rule. Crazy, Crazy, Crazy. ::)

Why would you play a game manager when you have a game changer on JV?

To outscore your opponents 268-0 at any age level is unreal! No fumbles for a TD or bad snaps into the endzone or missed tackles for long TD's. What are the odds? Will be interesting to see these kids in the near future. Could keep Dan Ray in the Mustang saddle for several more years knowing what is coming. Congratulations to the kids and coaches!
