Port Neches-Groves vs Texas High

Who you got?

I think this will be a tough game for us. Our defensive front 7 will need to get some pressure on their QB to help our porous DB’s.

They said SOC was a machine last year to and see what happened to them.

I like being the underdog in this instance. It should be a good game.

Indian defense is playing much better.  I love my Indians.  Let's play the game & see what happens!🏉

I love PNG being the underdogs in this game.  We will control the clock and force TH to play our game.  PNG also matches up in the trenches against TH.  I have a strong feeling this game will be similar to last years Thxgiving weekend game.

Coach Joseph will have them ready! These young men have a STATE Championship to defend. A lot of folks had PNG defeated before the SOC state game was even played last year and you saw the results😁. I feel good about this game going in as the underdogs. Scalp’em !

Interesting matchup this Friday. Both teams have very good offensive and defensive lines, which will make this game interesting. Having watched Texas High all season, they have a wide open offense with very good skill players. If you look at their stats they run the ball 57% of the time and pass 43% of the time. Personally, that is a bit deceiving, as most of their games have seen reserves running the ball in the 4th quarter. I would estimate the primary offense is 50/50. Through 12 games they have run for 3,224 yds (48tds) and passed for 2,894 yds (32 yds). Potter, the Tiger QB, has been very efficient with a 69% completion rate and 1 interception (which came from a tipped pass). The passing is distributed primarily to 4 receivers…. Ball (865), Wrightner (811), Montgomery (532), & Pilgreen (392). The rushing comes from 3 running backs … Johnson (1,432), Ball (768) & Moore (716).  The Tiger defense is solid and very quick. 
 

Hope #15 is healthy enough to play. He is a test for any defense. I was concerned about the Nederland RB, but felt Texas High did a good job containing him.

I wish this game was in the afternoon, as Nachitoches is having their Festival of Lights and their will not be any rooms in the inns and restaurants will be full so plan accordingly. PNG are state champions until someone knocks them off, so I extend the Indians the respect they deserve. Pulling for the Tigers.

I too, wish #15 was healthy and playing.  And also another RB (can't recall the #), who went down in the first game of the season. But, some others have stepped up and are hard runners. 

I'm really looking forward to watching this game.

Wow that's some impressive numbers, I assume you meant 32 tds running. That averaging over 6 tds per game. It's my understanding that chances are slim for #15 coming back at all this year was hoping he'd be back by now. We sure could use him for this game. Appreciate the post with some sobering data and a level attitude. PNG has to bring their absolute best A game and hope for some early breaks and/or turnovers. Gonna need the fans to do more than show up, they need to be louder and more involved than ever. Lord willing I'll be there. Love Texas High school football.

[Lamar1996]

One thing in PNG favor,  if you even want to call it that.  The TH QB doesn’t run much if not any.  This has always gave us problems.  I will take a 50/50 offense opponent without a running QB any day.  

[Bordertown]

1. Correct 32 tds … Tigers are averaging 49.4 points a game. Lowest offensive output was 37 points in the first game against Tyler Legacy.

2. Potter is a pro style QB. He is a big young man 6’4”. Not sure if his weight, but would guess 225+. He is not a statute and can run if needed. But so far he has had the protection and other players to run the ball.

I've been pretty good in my predictions and I think this is where it ends for PNG. 

Texas High is a little too much this year I think. 

 

35-28 TH.

I'm glad you are not perfect in your predictions.  🤣 Leaves room for error.
