Huntsville (44) @ Nederland (38) - FINAL

[jake94]

Reports of the sky falling in Nederland are greatly exaggerated. I was very impressed with Huntsville  and we went toe to toe with them for 4 quarters. We got beat by a very good team last night and are 5-1 in district with a win against our arch rival on their home field and avenged a 48 point playoff loss last year, too. The Dogs control their own destiny next week in Montgomery. Fact of the matter, there are 5 really good teams in this district that can beat each other on any given night. Before the season started if anyone would  have told us Ned fans that we’d be playing for the district title in the final week of the season, I think we’d be pretty happy with that! Let’s go Dogs!

I could have sworn (without immediately searching back through the preseason threads) that the team that everyone wrote out of the playoffs was Montgomery.  Nederland fans that I know in person aren't surprised about the Bulldogs current standing in District, with all the returning starters and new HC. Plus I haven't heard of any major injuries. If that's true (all starters healthy), then they're about the only team in district that can say that.  The most surprised fans I see this season are the PNG and Dayton folks.

I was high on Dayton before the season. So count me in as surprised about them.

Omg you must be a high school football genius.  Lol is that how the seeding works in the playoffs?  I’m smarter than a 5th grader btw.  

Read my first line again. I said I couldn’t hang with the gurus. That would exclude you of course. Seeding don’t mean jack if you are going to win it all. Of course my scenario is incomprehensible to those in elementary school. Congrats on being smarter than a 5th grader.

No injuries? We lost a D1 linebacker to a torn ACL in week 1 that’s committed to Navy, but ok. We were supposed to finish in the 4th-6th range. Still may finish 4th… District is tough. Lake Creek and Dayton underperformed. Montgomery is a little better than I thought. PN-G and Huntsville (along with LC) were all teams that almost EVERYONE had locked in the top 3. I didn’t see anyone having Ned playing for a DC the final week, but maybe there were a few. I don’t remember it though.

Great regular season any way you slice it. Hope we can put an exclamation point on it Friday night.

I didn't hear about the LB, or else I forgot. Man that's too bad, though.

Dayton has definitely under performed this season but loosing your two best payers on offense a few games into the season didn't help. We are now on our 5th OB so our offense is pretty vanilla and predictable.  PNG will smoke us!!!

Well I've watch SOC play and they don't impress me at all.they need a QB.and Ill take either one of them against them.

SOC went head to head with Duncanville for 3 quarters.  Neither PNG or Nederland for sure is doing that.  SOC is better this season than last.  The addition of Reggie McNeal Jr has made them more dangerous

McNeal Jr. was at one of the Katy ISD schools his Fresh, Soph years, Houston Heights last year and now SOC….but I’m sure all that moving has NOTHING to do with football…purely for EDUCATIONAL reasons 🙄

[Eazy]

No doubt.  SOC is probably rated way higher than Katy Isd or Heights educational wise.

SOC had trouble getting to our QB in the state game. They immediately went shopping and announced the Red Oak pass rusher - a highly touted D1 prospect — was transferring within a few weeks after the championship. All for non-football reasons, of course.

Really?  A pretty good one, too, it seems. Like fishing with top water lures. Geez ...

We all know how great duncanville is.but, ned and png oline are just as gud.and I believe the discipline with both would give SOC problems.if SOC had better QB play to help offset some of that maybe I'll think a lil different.i truly believe Nederland has turned the corner.and png is one of the best coached team in the state.

At this juncture, I’m very PROUD of MidCounty. Honestly, I could care less about seeding and placement in the district. I’ll be  supporting both Nederland and PNG through the playoffs. These young men from BOTH teams play their hearts out for our enjoyment and excitement every Friday night. Prayers for both teams for injury free games for the rest of the season. I know it can be fun with the pokes and jabs in our comments. At the end of the day, regardless which team you support, MidCounty has done each and everyone of us PROUD! God Bless🙏

Well said.

Just a reminder that while a little trolling is okay, personal attacks and profanity (even abbreviations and symbols) are not allowed.  I cleared out and cleaned up a few posts in this thread without issuing warnings, but will do so if it continues.
