*PN-G vs. Crosby Updates/PN-G WINS!


KFDM COOP

Recommended Posts

I was very impressed with PN-G's stadium. I wasn't impressed with Crosby though... little to be desired out of that team. It seemed like it was a little bit of a mismatch. Perhaps it would have been a better game for the Coogs if they would've played a team like Sabine Pass or something. The only team they might be able to win against in 20-4A would probably be Ozen. I know Faircloth didn't have anything to do with who the Indians play in non-district, but maybe next year after realignment, he can pick up some higher caliber teams. A win builds confidence, but I don't think it prepares you for district, as opposed to playing teams that are ranked.  :-\

Funny thing is Crosby went two rounds deep in the playoffs last year knocking off co-district champs Lumberton in the process. Before the season many people had Crosby possibly winning that district and thought this would be the toughest of our pre-district battles, so having them on the schedule was not a bad thing. Not like we scheduled St. Thomas or anyhting! ;D

Good game, Indians.  I got a complete rundown of the game via text message.  PN-G seems to be getting better and better.  I heard that Coach Faircloth played a lot of different players in different situations.  I think he may want all of the kids to see some time on the field!

We rotate players in and out the whole game. We play alot of guys, which does nothing but improve the team if someone gets hurt.

I went to the game and stayed till half. PNG looked good offensively and defensively. They're gonna be a tough team for anyone to beat. Also its my first time to look at the new Reservation...it looks awesome

Thanks for the compliment.  PNG is going to be tough this year.  And you're right...the stadium is a sight to behold....totally awesome!

I was talking to a wide recievers dad, and he told me that at the parents meeting, that Faircloth said he WOULD be playing each and every player, and in different stiuations.  Without sounding like a broken record, Faircloth is the "real" deal....a GREAT guy, who has a lot of heart and is ALL about the kids!

“Our kids played hard,†said Faircloth. “They bounced back from last week after some difficulties. Our kids have a lot of heart. They had a great week of practice. We did things a lot better tonight.

“We’re still not where we want to be, but we’re getting there. They’re willing to work. Any time you have a group of kids willing to work and put in the time and want to be good, then you’ve got the potential for a really good situation.â€

This is what The New Reservation looked like for the Crosby game.  A packed home side.

The picture is misleading taken from the endzone.I was there on the visitors side to check out the new statium.Which is first class by the way. It was packed in the middle but had quite a bit of empty seats on either side.

    • Hutch and the Cardinals by 40 BC is BACK!!!
    • Regardless of the offense, kids need a reason or purpose to play football. Normally, for most kids, football is something they genuinely enjoy playing, because most players won’t be suiting up on Saturdays. At the end of the day, the most successful teams have kids and coaches that genuinely love the game and get joy and fulfillment playing it.  Vidor’s two current biggest issues are the lack of appeal to play the game and a lack of community support. The offense has been the same for years, and Mathews did a great job of getting the kids and community behind his teams year in and year out. Vidor’s whole identity was being a team you hated to play because you knew you were in for a long physical night. That made the game fun for the kids who played, and they took a lot of pride in it. Currently, I would argue that the toxic attitude of the community towards the offense and Dubois in general is the biggest thorn in the team’s side. The need for instant gratification from fans is what is fueling it all. When the players go home or out in the community and hear: how bad the offense is, how bad the defense is, or how bad the coaching is, the players will begin to lose pride in the program, and the game is no longer fun. This leads to discipline issues and players quitting. Vidor has lost their identity and Dubois and the offensive scheme isn’t the culprit. The Vidor community needs to leave their objections of who they hired at the door and let the man work if they wanna be successful in the future. 
    • We will see i heard they pretty dam good 3 losses but all to great teams
    • Yes. May have been Jimmies. What I’m seeing is a lot more teams going back to more ‘traditional style’ offenses. These things go in cycles, and it’s very difficult for all but mega schools to consistently find QB’s who can really be effective with a true spread type offense year in and year out. I’d venture to guess most schools have an outstanding QB that can win a game almost on their own only every few years if that, and that’s what you need for the ‘high flying’ spreads. So coaches go for the O’s that they can groom the majority of kids to be successful running, and take advantage of the superstar’s skills more within that O when they get them.
