Tomball 30 Port Neches-Groves 27/FINAL

[Rez]

Pass to Pearson to the 20 yard line. 1st down. 

[Rez]

Bost sacked at 28. Loss of 7. Second and 17. 

[Rez]

Let's go Indians. 

[Rez]

Bost tosses a high screen over Vaughn's head. 3 and 17. Clock is stopped with 3:21 left. 

[Rez]

Timeout PNG. They absolutely have to come away with at least a field goal. 

[Rez]

Bost hit as he throws on 3rd and 17. Nearly picked off. 4th and 17 from 28. 

[Rez]

Indians call their last timeout. I don't think they are in field goal range. 3:15 left. It would be about a 45-yard field goal.

[Rez]

PNG going for it. 

[Rez]

Tomball breaks up the pass in the endzone. 

[Rez]

Tomball takes over on downs. 

[Rez]

3:08 left in the game. 

[Rez]

Huge run from Tomball QB. Slides down inside to keep the clock rolling. 

[Rez]

1st down on PNG 35. 

[Rez]

This QB-run weakness from the defense is such a problem. This QB isn't even that fast. 

[Rez]

PNG can't stop the clock. 1:52 left. 

[Rez]

1st down Tomball. That will do it. Tomball will take a knee. 

[Rez]

Whelp. I was wrong on this one. I thought PNG would win by at least three scores, and clean up the defensive problems. Third game in a row that PNG plays in an extremely close one. There are some rays of light. PNG wasn't playing scrubs these last few weeks, so the experience and toughness that come from that could prove valuable down the stretch. They've essentially been in a playoff-like scenario three weeks in a row. The 4th quarter offense is still stellar, though something more creative than a bomb to the endzone is what I was expecting on that 4th and 17. Those two kickoff turnovers made all the difference -- Otherwise this was PNG's game to lose. Hopefully they'll clean up the mental errors on kickoff and be ready for Nederland. I'm not confident that we will get much better against the run on defense. We've had three games now and the opposing teams' offenses have been able to more or less run the same plays successfully. I'm no expert, so I don't know what I would do to fix the problem, but we are just getting absolutely gashed on QB runs. Bost wasn't as precise as he normally is tonight. Nobody is perfect. A couple key dropped passes that would have been for six. So going into the bye there are still huge question marks and a lot to be worried about, but there are also some things to be optimistic about. Namely, PNG hasn't been blown out by anyone. A team that is able to stay in three close games, coming from behind in all of them, is a team that might be able to put it together later on.

Question. Did the PN-G band perform at halftime and did Texan live show it with sound? Asking for a friend.

I switched games at half so don’t know for sure. The mascot was dancing to the band when I switched Texanlive back to this game and you could hear it and see it.

I'm sure you've already analyzed it yourself. The wheels haven't fell off yet, so don't get giddy.
