When I was there Doty threw a TD and 2 INT's, 2nd team had a TD pass. Pretty even with the 1st team D playing well. Also there were a number of baseball players missing so Faircloth wanted to see some different guys get more playing time.

PN-G game looks very impressive
Tom Halliburton
The Port Arthur News

PORT NECHES —  PORT NECHES -- Two leading coaches and one veteran player echoed identical reviews after the Port Neches-Groves spring football game. These Indians looked great.

  That's what PN-G head coach Brandon Faircloth, defensive coordinator Duane Kroeker and senior-to-be defensive tackle Aaron Easley said. Their consensus simply was hard to dispute on any level.

  PN-G doesn't have seven home games in 2010. The Indians do not need to guarantee another 10-0 regular season right now.

  Having modestly written the least positive end of this spectrum, here are the many delightful encouraging purple positives.

  There simply is no comparison in the look of this Indians' program after a second spring training as opposed to a year ago. Of course, last year's 10-0 and 11-1 wasn't bad. But the difference in PN-G's progress after two springs can be an extremely pleasant thought around Indian Stadium.

  Rather than injecting very much journalistic opinion, let's allow those two coaches and one player the forum to compare late May, 2009, with late May, 2010.

  "We're way ahead of where we were (a year ago)," Faircloth said after the White team defeated the Purple team, 21-14. "That doesn't mean that we will have the result we want. There's still a lot of hard work to be done through the summer.

  "But we accomplished everything we set out to accomplish in the spring. We worked hard on the fundamentals. We got a great look at our personnel and our schemes. And we have wonderful coaches who do a great job at coaching their position."

  Most of that was true a year ago, too. But the players and coaches have so much more familiarity with each other, with the expectation level, with the intent of the offensive and defensive scheme. The extra year of familiarity has enabled PN-G to arguably be:

  + Much better in the kicking game.

  + Much deeper and seasoned on both lines of scrimmage.

  + Far better in the cohesion of the coaching staff.

  + Far more capable of truly making a deep 4A playoff run.

  "We're so far ahead of where we were (a year ago)," defensive chief Kroeker said. "There's no doubt about it.

  "We have what we call a trust tree within our coaches. We had a great year and we kinda bonded. We're very experienced in the defensive line and all those guys are helping us to get better in the back end."

  Kroeker's defense held its own much more in this spring game than a year ago. That's partly because Easley, D.J. Schexnider, Taylor Thompson, Christian Shetley and Jake Davis have so much experience on the purple defensive line.

  "Compared to last year, we had a lot better spring," Easley said. "It's going to be hard but I think we will go further than last year."

  The Indians looked that good in spite of their considerable number of baseball absentees. They have Brennan Doty at quarterback and Brennan Doty's look-alike Travis Miller as a backup.

  Doty connected on 12 of 26 for 93 yards and accounted for both of his first team's scores. He lobbed a 30-yard scoring pass to Jayce Nelson and angled to the end zone on a three-yard option keeper. The sophomore Miller completed 7 of 12 with one interception for 47 yards and a touchdown.

  First-team tailback Chase Bertrand carried 14 times for 44 yards and effective backup Huga Ceja added 12 for 81. Neither lost a fumble. Neither fumbled at all. Both ran hard on the interior and Bertrand gave indications of being a superb cutback runner, like his record-setting predecessor Caleb Harmon.

  "Bertrand is very similar to Harmon," Faircloth said. "We don't ask him to be Caleb Harmon, though. We just ask him to be Chase. He's a wonderful worker and he has great ball security."

  Comparisons seemed to be inevitable on this warm night. Indians fans may find it fun to compare 2010 with 2009.

1st team D look stout.  D-line seemed to stuff every running play.  Secondary swarmed to the ball a lot better than they did last year at the spring game.  The D appears to be way ahead of where they were at this point last year.

Offense showed some signs of being very good.  Doty seems to put the ball on the money with every throw.  It is going to be up to the receivers to make the play.  Doty threw the deep ball well on the TD pass to the end zone.  If the NDNs can get some work between the QB and receivers in 7 on 7, the passing game has the potential to be better than last year.

20-4A is gonna be fun again this year!
