Nederland 35 Port Neches-Groves 28/Final

[jake94]

Great play and coaching from Nederland. I am not sure why Faircloth spent the first half trying to reinvent the offense, but whatever. Halfin haf two or three carries in the first half. Ned was the better team tonight. Poor job by the Indian students as well tossing all the empty baby powder bottles, etc. on the track and field.

At least you drive a Dart...

[jake94]

Let's hear how png is going to win state now , good job Ned

Because we beat PNG? Please... We do that every year.

[NDNation]

Baddog, if you can figure out why we went for it on 4th down, please share it with us. Also Epic onside kick screw up and if I see another pooch kick I will puke.

Fair cloth was down 7-0 at the half. His offense was shut down. He went into halftime and made a 28 point adjustment. Png played a good 2nd half and now you guys say fair cloth isn't a good coach and lost yall the game?? At least it wasn't the refs, thick grass, or horns

[Michele]

I stood for the entire game...never sat down....NEVER!!!!!!  Congrats to my DOGS.....such heart and determination......TRUE CHAMPIONS!!!!  PNG section did throw all of the bottles out on the track when they lost game, also turned their backs to us when our team ran out on field at start of game and I think they did it again when we played our school song. A true sport can dish it and take it ...and your students did not display that.  Moving on, another fine job  by our FANTASTIC coach Larry Neumann!  PNG has a dang good team I must say, but not good enough to beat them Bulldogs!  Proud of you boys and let's get focused on our next game.  Celebrate and enjoy guys....you definitely deserve it! Good luck the rest of the way PNG.

Only reason I ask is because this is a game of momentum. Taking 3 points there, Ned can claim a moral victory by holding you to a FG. But to come away with 0, the momentum switches very quickly to Ned. Just an observation and I'm sure the coaching staff has its reasons. Maybe they thought FGs were not going to win this game....and it wouldn't have.

[NDNation]

I still like Faircloth and hope he stays. Hes a good coach.
I hope the community doesn't do a witch hunt over one game. What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger.

[jake94]

It was a great game! Indians played their hearts out and I thought both teams were classy tonight. Faircloth called an aggressive game and it bit him IMO. Neumann was more conservative and I thought Ned was tougher overall. Great football game. Ned won the Xs and Os, but I'm not sure the "Jimmy and Joe" difference was as much as many prognosticators thought. Seay and Krautz are as good as anyone on the PNG roster in my opinion. Sparks and Morse are great, too. Awesome game and awesome atmosphere!

[badndn]

Student section never turned their backs on anyone. If they had they'd a been staring at me and that never happened. The bottles was embarrassing and we let them know. They went down and picked them up. Some of them were yelling at the culprits to knock it off.

GREAT GAME. and great tribute after.
If we run the ball in the first we probably win this one, but no. Sage Seay is a hellova football player. Nederlands gonna miss that kid sumpin' fierce next year. Only time we stopped the dogs in second half was when sage went out injured

[GoDogs27]

Wow what a game.. Congrats to my Dogs on a gutsy win. The defense may not always hold but they showed real gusto last week and again tonight when they needed it most. At half I said PNG was overrated due to their weak schedule, and while I still think it's partly true, they showed some gusto themselves in the 2nd half. Hats off to the boys from across the track. When they execute a gameplan like they did in the second half, they are hard to stop.. Proud of both groups..

As for the trash left over.... Nederland students are the ones that clean the stuff up...

Play of the game was the 3rd down TD pass to put Nederland up 35-28.. Perfect pass and catch...

Faircloth isn't a bad coach... Neumann is just THAT good...

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Two questions....why did PNG go for it on 4th down on their first possession?
What happened when the whole PNG line false started, the ref calls unsportsmanlike on Ned, marks off a 5 yard penalty, then makes it 15, then makes it 5 again?

I know. Rather leave it alone

[outanup]

I know. Rather leave it alone

You go to the game BG......

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

You go to the game BG......

no, but after the Memorial grilling I got I shoulda. Smh

[Footballer06]

Just curious what shall the trophy case read now?? Hmmm better have the squad to back the trash Talkin.

[NDNation]

From Crosby right? Come on over and see our trophy case. Got a lot more in it than yours.

[Baba Ganoush]

1-5 enough said

SECond to someone!!

[Brubaker]

Goodness, I wish everyone would back of coach Faircloth, he and the boys from PNG I'm sure feel bad enough as it is.  He's a good guy and a good coach, just because he's struggled against Neumann, he can get in line for that club, folks need to ease up on the man.  This is not OU / UT as was noted before, these are high school kids.

[NDNation]

Thank you Brubaker. The whole district is getting beat by Ned...so we should all get rid of our Head Coaches? We have a good one, let's not run him off.

[Michele]

wow

[NDNation]

BG, I always have an extra ticket for every game. It's yours, come on.

[outanup]

Agreed......You all should keep him ;)  ;)  :D  :rolleyes:

[Bigdog]

Obviously we need two full halves from the defense.   They shut down Central in the second half of last game and PNG in the first half tonight.  But then gave up over 300 yds in the second half vs 85 in the first to PNG.
