Last season PN-G finished 5-5 overall and 3-4 in 22-4A play and found themselves on the outside looking in as far as the playoff picture goes. That’s something the Indian faithful isn’t used to. Coach Matt Burnett and 10 returning starters will hope to turn that around in 2007.

Key Wins Last Year:

Silsbee (27-9)

Vidor (14-7)

Last Year’s Scores:

Brenham 33 PN-G 9

PN-G 21 Crosby 14

PN-G 27 Silsbee 9

PN-G 31 Ozen 15

LC-M 42 PN-G 0

Nederland 31 PN-G 24

PN-G 36 Lumberton 23

PN-G 14 Vidor 7

Central 33 PN-G 7

Dayton 33 PN-G 2

Offensive Summary

Only 3 starters return for an Indian offense that averaged 17 points per game in 2006. PN-G does have their QB back in junior Harrison Tatum. As a sophomore Tatum had 44 completions for 612 yards and 6 touchdowns. Expect him to be even more productive this year. Another important offensive weapon returning is FB Jake Hemmings. In ’06 Hemmings rushed for 946 yards and 4 touchdowns. If the offense comes around early PN-G could put up some big numbers in 2007.

Other Offensive Impact Players:

Matt Johnson (WR)

Defensive Summary

The strong point of the ’07 PN-G Indians should be the defense. Coach Burnett has 7 starters back from last year’s unit that allowed 24 points per game. The Indian defensive front should be tough with DT Jody McDonald and DE Clint Burnett who had 4 sacks last season. Kenneth Tezeno is also back to man his CB position after having 5 interceptions last year. If PN-G’s defense can step up the Indians should be in the hunt for the playoffs in 2007.

Other Defensive Impact Players:

Kaleb Walker (LB)

Brett Doty (FS)

PN-G will be part of the double-header at Reliant Stadium to open the 2007 season as they take on the defending 4A Division 2 champions from La Marque.

The Indians open 22-4A play on September 28 when they travel to Lamar’s Cardinal Stadium to face the Ozen Panthers.
