2019 FOOTBALL TEAM PREVIEWS

PORT NECHES-GROVES INDIANS

2018 Record: 9-4 Overall, 6-1 District

District 12-5A-II Co-District Champions

 

The storied program at Port Neches-Groves High School continued its winning way as they shared the District 12-5A-II and had a three round run in the playoffs for the third year in a row, not losing in the playoffs until falling to eventual state finalist Fort Bend Marshall.  In 2019, Indian Head Coach Brandon Faricloth hopes to bust through that barrier with six returning offensive starters, five returning defenders and a host of talented youngsters.

 

Head Coach: Brandon Faircloth

Assistant Coaches: Dustin Templin (Defensive Coordinator), Peter Medlock (Co-Offensive Coordinator), Mike Ballew (Co-Offensive Coordinator)

Offense:

Six starters return to the Indian spread offense in 2019.  Stepping into the shoes of the graduated Roschon Johnson will be junior quarterback Blake Bost. Joining Bost in the backfield will be senior fullback Jacob Osbourne.  The rushing load will be lead by senior back Zane Hernandez (who moves over from the defense) and junior running backs Dejaunte Conner and Lance Vaughn.  Senior wide outs Kaleb Wuenschel (2nd team all-district) and Peyton Proenza return to lead an Indian receiver corp which will also include junior Brady Nail.  Senior tackle Jaylen Garth (1st team all-district) and senior center Trey Lisaukis (2nd team all-district) will return to lead an offensive line which will also feature sophomore lineman Dalton Dickerson.

Defense:

Five starters return to the Indian 3-4 defense in 2019.  Senior lineman Josh Patteson will lead the way up from while senior Gavin Deslatte moves over from the offense to line up at linebacker along with junior outside linebacker Donovan Bergeron (1st team all-district) and senior inside linebacker Santiago Agudelo (1st team all-district). Senior cornerback Jacolby Smith-Barber (2nd team all-district) and senior free safety Lawrence Vaughn will anchor the Indian secondary.

I believe your O line is indeed huge and Bost is indeed legit...

However. scoring 44 points won't do much good if you give away 45.

    • It’s been awhile, but I seem to remember 5 D starters out & 2 O starters out (OL). A big difference is that Simon wasn’t involved yet. He’s totally changed LP’s rushing attack from last year as a bruising, explosive addition to Barnes, Sandolph & Bright. Last year—and early this season—LP was missing that element. Now, Coach Berneathy is not making talented players wait like many other coaches & even his predecessors at LP. If the kid can produce at the varsity level, they’re moved up. And man, has Simon produced! Over 1200 yards & 20 TD’s in less than a full season so far! It’s allowed LP to alternate RB’s where Barnes doesn’t take all the pounding. Barnes and Sandolph are also able to split out as receivers as desired to add threats that weren’t really an option last year. The PNG/LP game was a full-on tilt & good for both squads. I remember Gary Joseph in the end zone giving his son pointers as an extra set of eyes since he’d had experience with LP in past PO matchups. That was a good game. The score wasn’t really indicative of the game. Not sure anyone felt it was over until the final whistle! Good luck to y’all in Cajun Country. Bring back a win for SE Texas. (Yes. La Porte is still SETX. Ha!)
    • SEC fan bases before Texas got there: “The horns aren’t ready for this. Every week is a battle.” SEC fan bases after Texas arrived: “Texas has the easiest SEC schedule ever!” SEC fan bases after every one of their teams has lost to one or more SEC teams from the bottom half of the standings, many of whom Texas beat comfortably: 🤐
    • With a big win against the rival to close out the year… look to see Lamar make the playoffs next year
