Bordertown

Per 247 Sports he had 8 D-1 offers including Indiana & Houston.

#4 Johnson was the RB and is a SFA commit. #3 Ball (JR) is the Oregon commit. He played WR.

Congrats PNG. Best of luck against SOC.

Safe travels. I will return post game to extend congratulations or accept congratulations. Hoping for a hard fought clean game by both teams.

1. Correct 32 tds … Tigers are averaging 49.4 points a game. Lowest offensive output was 37 points in the first game against Tyler Legacy. 2. Potter is a pro style QB. He is a big young man 6’4”. Not sure if his weight, but would guess 225+. He is not a statute and can run if needed. But so far he has had the protection and other players to run the ball.

Interesting matchup this Friday. Both teams have very good offensive and defensive lines, which will make this game interesting. Having watched Texas High all season, they have a wide open offense with very good skill players. If you look at their stats they run the ball 57% of the time and pass 43% of the time. Personally, that is a bit deceiving, as most of their games have seen reserves running the ball in the 4th quarter. I would estimate the primary offense is 50/50. Through 12 games they have run for 3,224 yds (48tds) and passed for 2,894 yds (32 yds). Potter, the Tiger QB, has been very efficient with a 69% completion rate and 1 interception (which came from a tipped pass). The passing is distributed primarily to 4 receivers…. Ball (865), Wrightner (811), Montgomery (532), & Pilgreen (392). The rushing comes from 3 running backs … Johnson (1,432), Ball (768) & Moore (716). The Tiger defense is solid and very quick. Hope #15 is healthy enough to play. He is a test for any defense. I was concerned about the Nederland RB, but felt Texas High did a good job containing him. I wish this game was in the afternoon, as Nachitoches is having their Festival of Lights and their will not be any rooms in the inns and restaurants will be full so plan accordingly. PNG are state champions until someone knocks them off, so I extend the Indians the respect they deserve. Pulling for the Tigers.

How is the Nederland QB that was injured late in the game?

Best of luck going forward Bulldogs … keep the faith in these young men!

At half, the #1 & #2 teams from both districts are winning. Marshall is a talented team that is extremely underrated.

Not the game I expected as a Tiger fan. There was great respect for District 8 and its top 5 teams coming from Texas High. Not surprised we have a lead, but how the Tiger defense has contained the Bulldog running game. As I mentioned in an earlier post, a neutral coach witnessing Texas High for the first time stated “Texas High has athletes all over the field”. We will see if Nederland can throw the ball. The clock is not their friend running the ball. Thomas is a talented back.

Barry Norton does not currently coach at T-High. He is the Athletic Director at Birdville ISD in DFW Metroplex.

Safe travels … plenty of hotels for your overnight stays.

Intriguing matchup. I might be a District 7 Homer, but believe Marshall will be the victor.

Huntsville , Patrick Mahomes has moved on.

Be surprised if the outcome of this game is anyone other than PNG.
