[PhatMack19]

Ozen wins toss. Ned gets ball 1st at 25

[PhatMack19]

Ned fumbles 1st play. Ozen ball

[aggiegirl08]

That hurts.

[PhatMack19]

25 yard TD pass on 3rd and 10.  Final Ozen wins 16-10

[PhatMack19]

Extra point is kicked for tie breakers I guess.  Final is 17-10 Ozen

[PhatMack19]

Neither team is very good right now. Both have a lot of work to do over the next 6 weeks.

This was a tough one to pick but I got it right.  Been a while since Nederland has struggled this much.  Hard to put a value on losing a starting qb for the season.

Congrats to Coach Nelly and his 1st district win.  I spoke with him earlier in the week and he was very optimistic on his team chances.  Go Panthers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Ozen will make the playoffs over Big Ned. too many injuries.

wow.  that is tough.

I guess with 4 going they may make it.  Central, PNG, Lumberton, Livingston, and Vidor would be ahead of them at this point in my book.

Both teams gave a great effort. Nederland defense kept the Dogs in the game till the end.

[PhatMack19]

Nederland may be looking at going 1-9 on the season, unless something changes real quick.  The other teams in the district all seem to be playing well tonight.  These 2 teams will probably finish at the bottom of the district this year.

[Guest Brubaker]

Very proud of our boys tonight, they are battling some intense adversity. lost starting DE and another starting QB, and still battled into OT.  Tough loss, but you can't help but be proud of the effort, especially on defense.  Atterberry was excellent in relief of Smith, just a few too many turnovers.  Had it inside the 5 once and turned it over, and inside the 10 once and turned it over.  Ozen is a well coached team, they are much improved over any Ozen team I've seen in the past 5 years... they will be tough to beat.  204A is going to have some wars this year.

I agree it will be a long season for us. If Tyler Smith is indeed out for the year, then I do not see us winning a district game. I think this was a battle of the 7th and 8th place teams. Congrats on the win Ozen.

Scooter,  Ozen will not make the playoffs.

Brubaker,

Are you seriously saying that Ozen impressed you? I thought both teams looked pretty bad.

I agree.  I don't know what game he was watching.

[football04]

Both teams looked bad, and it wasn't from good defensive play, it was from horrible offensive play all night.

Thanks, PhatMack19! Yes the D showed up in the 4th! But how can u compete when the opposing team can run 50+ twice on you. Yes we had turnovers, but so did they. I am toting the line (not crossing)!  The last five years we seemed to play pass protective D, when most the teams in our district run. Although we give up yards on the secondary on long passes as in OT. (Png mixing is up a lil this year, other wise i put png in there too.) Give it to Ozen cause minus the penalties they could be up there. If anyone question the players in all honestly I think there good both offense and defense. I am not attacking anyones character. (I think a coaching change would beneficial, NOT NEUMANN, but one of the others). NOT Crossing just toting!

[outanup]

Gotta agree with you Jake, wasnt impressed with either team. With that being said, Congrats to Ozen.

[Guest Penny]

The game was very sloppy.  I think it showed a lot of character for Nederland to tie the game up as poorly as they played the first three quarters.  We are thin from injuries and had to stick Cardenas back in there to shore up the linebacking core in the 4th quarter, they didn't run the ball after that point.  Losing Tyler was tough, but Atterberry stepped up and got the job done, giving his team a chance to win.  The season is still young, but the Dogs have a steep hill to climb overcoming all the injuries.

[SFA85]

Just saw the stats of the game in the Chronicle.  Ned had less yards, less penalties, and less turnovers.  To say Ozen didn't impress the average fan----well I guess not with all of those mistakes by the Panthers.  But to say this is their first victory in Nederland, and on Homecoming, is a shot in the arm to the Panther program.  All they can do now is correct and build on their success thus far.....
