Port Neches-Groves (24) @ Huntsville (21) - FINAL

[FrodoNDN]

Run D much better. Containing the QB still poop. Those Huntsville backs are good and we shut them down. Special teams break down allowed Huntsvile to stay in the game

Another good win for the Indians. Looks like it may be between PNG and Montgomery for the district title.

PNG really did do an absolutely STELLAR job of containing the RBs. The improvement in that respect is truly shocking tbh. Great job

Good game both teams overall. I was really impressed by Huntsville DL #53.

The refs overall have had a tough season so far, and I'm not talking about just this game, but all the games I've watched.  I'm not throwing stones, I've never refereed a game, I'm just saying that there seems to be lots of confusion in the close games I've seen so far. But the clock issue tonight was simply ridiculous.

Well it went to the wire as expected.  Huntsville had their chances.  A couple of turnovers and some critical penalties made a big difference in this one.  
Hornet offense very vanilla in the 1st half.  Looked like they were just playing for a stalemate.  Giving up the 10 before half was big.  I figured they would open it up in the 2nd half and show something different.  I think they only used the one RB all night #5.  Only saw the other RB on the kickoff and he fumbled.  

#15 for PNG refused to be tackled.  Offensive line opened up some holes.  PNG didn’t turn it over and made fewer mistakes.  What a finish with the FG off the upright.  
PNG probably glad to get to the cupcake part of the schedule now for the next 2 weeks.

It was a good game, and certainly one that could have gone the other way. Both teams are doing a few things right, and both have a lot to work on. As far as readiness for the playoffs, I’d say both teams are in the exact same place: We’re good, but we‘ll need to be better to go far. 
 

And, Huntsville probably has the prettiest high school stadium I’ve ever seen.

Huntsville and PNG are both very good, there were mistakes but that was a heavyweight fight

Tough district to be in.

PNG was clearly the better team in the match up with Huntsville . PNG defense had Huntsville RB's number and Huntsville O was successful with a few limit plays . Chatagnier ran like a HS Larry Zonka .  Shout out to PNG O line and entire D fence. Lets Go PNG

I came away with a different take on this game...I thought Huntsville was right there with PNG and could have easily won and I didnt get a vibe one team was clearly better...difference IMO was PNG tends to find ways to win these games and Huntsville when they are good finds ways to lose them.....I think thats a credit to PNG's culture, coaches and kids...the track in record  in close games says a ton about them...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and "vibe" .  I would like to compare stats because from what I saw Huntsville would not have been in the game if not for a fake punt and some random offense success with QB runs . However I totally agree with finding a way win statement. IMO finding a way to win is the mark of a true champion.
