Still? PNG 35 - 21

I don't know exactly what point spread = a so-called blowout, but I didn't expect as close a game as it turned out to be, although Montgomery always plays PNG a good game. This one was a real barn burner. BTW the score in the thread title ain't right.

!!:46/38/F 46 -38, right?

They were pretty flat tonight. And, the band left after HT.

OMG!

TD Nederland, #10 10-yard run. 7 - 14 Hornets

Has #5 been RB any tonight for Ned.?

Wow! Been waiting for that one all season.

Lots of talent on the field tonight!

C'mon Bulldogs!

Montgomery QB reminds me of Shea Adams, from the '22-'23 Indians.

IMO the final scores were similar, by my definition of similar, as reflected by the comparisons we're making. But regardless, it's fun to run the numbers and guess the scores, which is why we are all participating on this forum in the first place. It's up to the boys to play the game. Like someone said up above, it should be a good game. Hoping for good weather, no injuries, and cheering for PNG.

Just tagging on to your premise: Montgomery and Lake Creek were tied 15-15, or thereabouts, at the half. Ended up 42-31. PNG led Lake Creek at the half 42-0, with the final score 45-21, with pretty much the entire bench playing the second half. I think LC kicked 2 or 3 on-side-kicks in the 2nd half. The second half was essentially a scrimmage. Vs Huntsville, the final scores were fairly similar, although Montgomery played well for 2 halves, and PNG came alive in the 2nd half, 29-0, after trailing 10-29. The only other common opponents are Splendora and West Fork, and one can slice and dice those scores any way you want. We'd really have something to hang our hat on I think if Montgomery would have played LaPorte in a pre-district game. Or even Klein Oak.

Two different teams now. Especially PNG's team. Last year's game the #1 RB (Chatagnier) went down early with injury, and Tyson Henry was running with a bad ankle. Different core of receivers last year, different defense, or defensive effort, perhaps. This could end up being a close game, I don't know, but I don't see it having to do with last season's game.

Nederland by two FGs. 20 - 14
