Can the Indians make a 3rd trip to state. We have a lot of kids back from last season including the whole o line minus one kid and the whole d line minus 1 kid. Losing Nguyen will hurt but from what I have seen so far the running attack or the backfield looks great. Blair broke off a 50-80 yard TD run in the spring game. That kid is so fast and big as well. The whole offense is back for the most part and a few of the key contributors on defense are back. Fuentes, Hernandez, and Wenchel are all back. The team is loaded with kids who have had the fortune to play in 32 games the last 2 years. Not to mention the two o linemen who are major college recruits. Hoping for another great season. The other factor is Jeff Joseph and McDaniels. Two defensive gurus and great coaches. Best of luck to all of our SETX teams in 2024.

The RB corps might be stronger overall than last year. A true “whoever has the ball can break a big one” situation. It will be hard to replace Nyugen, for sure - I don’t know if we’ve ever had an RB who read the play so well. But I think we’ll be faster this year, so that opens up more runs to the outside. 
 

I’m just hoping we don’t drink the rat poison on all the pre-season rankings and predictions. We’re not guaranteed anything, and the odds of  making it back to state again are always extremely low. Not to mention serious potential for a drop in the seeding if we lose to Lake Creek or Huntsville (Dayton and Montgomery will be good too, and Nederland is going to a lot better than last year), setting up a second round matchup with South Oak Cliff. It’s a dangerous district, and the playoff path is vastly more difficult. All that being said - We’ve got great pieces, great coaching, great experience, and a great fan base. Sky’s the limit.

Coach didnt even mention state in his address to the crowd. He said new year, new players, new district, and new challenges. He said the work is cut out for them and they are focused on district play. This coach is just different. If you see a guy on the field its because he earned it. I will agree the RB room is going to be faster with the trio that I have seen so far.

'53-'55 three consecutive finals appearances winning 2 titles. '74-'77 4 seasons in a row yall played 14+ games, winning a title. What would need to be accomplished for this run to be considered the golden era of PNG football? 

I would think another title win either this year or within the next 2 or 3 seasons with some semi final/title appearances would be undisputed.

Even matching the '53-'55 seasons I would say this is a better era. Ball is way different now.

The question for this year's team is who is the x-factor you could count on Shea Adams for those short yardage situations the question is who's that guy this year..Indians will be fine in the run game with the offensive line and a guy that's the 2nd coming of Justin Eicher

I agree - Shae Adams is going to be very hard to replace. Nerves of steel. We’re going to need to find someone with his ability to create mismatches and execute clutch plays.

      To the Fans Who Complain About Referees

      By Preach · Posted

      I get it!!  I was once in your shoes. I was that person in the stands, loudly complaining about “bad officiating.” Now, with the rise of social media, it’s easier than ever to voice these criticisms online.  I thought I could see every call better than the officials on the floor. Then someone said to me, “If you can do better, get in the game.”   That challenge changed my life. Over 20 years ago, I became a basketball official, and what I’ve learned since then is eye-opening.   Officiating is not just about making calls. It’s about managing the game, the players, the coaches, and yes, the fans. We face a new generation of student-athletes who have been raised in a culture where everyone gets a trophy and losing is almost taboo. We deal with fans who question our integrity and sometimes become outright hostile.   I acknowledge that officials aren’t perfect; we have off days just like anyone else. However, the increasing hostility from fans is driving many to leave officiating. According to the National Federation of High School Associations, approximately 50,000 high school officials have left the profession since the 2018-19 season, with fan behavior being a significant factor.    Here’s the reality: without officials, there is no game.   So, instead of tearing down the people who make your games possible, here’s a suggestion:   • Thank the officials for being part of the game. • Thank them for the countless hours they spend studying rules, mastering mechanics, and working to improve. • Thank them for their patience with privilege-minded athletes and overly aggressive fans.   Next time you see an official, instead of criticizing, take a moment to say, “Thank you.” They’re out there to make the game happen, and trust me, it’s not as easy as it looks from the stands.   If you think you can do better, take the challenge like I did. Get in the game. You might just discover how much it takes to blow that whistle.
