Anyone reasonable knows PNG has a tall task ahead of them. This isn’t 2023’s team. We still need to see the defense gel into an aggressive, smart unit. But, and perhaps more importantly, this isn’t the 2021 team. In 2021 we weren’t at nearly the conditioning and coaching level we’re at now. Texas High beat us because we couldn’t keep up physically. Granted, Texas High has improved from 2021, and we’re rightly considered the underdogs. We can play with these guys. We just have to execute. 

It took 4 turn overs the first half by G S.

The ole saying do not get to high on your horse it's a long way to fall! Lol

I knew this we going to be the response. Fairfield was a pretty good 4 seed. But, regardless,  winning a District Championship in your 1st year in a completely different offensive system is pretty impressive.  Many fail to realize that Orangefield accomplished a TON in only 6 months of learning and implementing a totally different offensive philosophy.  It can be done. And, just because you are in shotgun does NOT mean you can't play SMASH mouth football. 

Yes if they can beat THigh I’ll have them penciled in to make it to state and beating SOC along the way.
