Crosby at Port Neches-Groves Game Thread/PN-G Wins/Comments

Yes 20-4A domination

[pngfan66]

Great Job NDN'S !  Good win !  The first half the O had some probs getting the running game going. The second half it dominated. I think Bertrand realized he could run hard and trust his O line. Nothing to dish on anyone. Just my thought. Doty looked great. The D secondary looked better this week than against GP. Good Job D !  Merka is a very good QB. He will be a possible highlite QB on Saturdays. Great game Great fans !

[/quote] Ditto on that.. Great game plan, I think Bertrand had at least 130+ yards... I didn't see the last offensive series

Stated off slow, but then turned it on, Good job Indians. Hunter Knox played great in the secondary. Good game all away around.

Indians looked good tonight.  Still a bit of work needed n the secondary, but improved over last week for sure.  Proud of the way they bounced back.  The running game got going tonight too.  Glad to see that.

Congrats Injuns, i do beleive 20-4A swept 19-4A tonight  ;D

[NDN79]

Great job by the Indians tonight! Defense played much better,especially in the secondary. Doty and his receivers are really clicking, and the off. line isn't letting anyone get near Doty.Good bounce-back win for PN-G. 20-4A definitely whipping up on 19-4a.

Sat on the 45 yd.line PNG side front row and a great game plan by the Indians w/power running game.The only reason the score wasn't worse is Doty not throwing alot.Cougar defense is not very good and the offense made too many mistakes and penalties.Merka needs to learn to throw softer passes on the short ones,heck he threw so hard towards the end he knocked the reciever down.Defense for PNG played well.

[Cougtalk]

gg for the Indians cougs got some ironing to do need to fix those wrinkles but lets be serious thats what these games are for.

Defense is pretty decent, until they got tired (we have 0 depth thats evidence in the two second half collapses)

This game was extraordinarily close at half time (the cougs offense actually out gained the Indians by 60, but a PICK and a Horrible snap on 4th and 2 gave the Indians a 10-0 lead.

2 things i saw that i didn't agree with in my scanning of post.

1) the cougar defense is pretty good, they are 1) YOUNG 2) have injuries and 3) it was the first pass offense that was efficent they've played in a long time.

The DLINE was all JV players. and the SS was freshman B team last year. we started to get better coverage in the third but then it looked like we ran out of gas. Not the indians fault blow anyone out who cant keep up with you later in the game.

2) Merka throwing too hard? Have you seen any college QB throw? i dunno i watch Kase Keenum quite often, id call doms throws soft in comparison, even in short yardage plays. when he throw those looping passes they got picked, better receivers would be nice.


But... Congrats Indians yall seems to have quite a team. Lots of depth and talent and most positions. \

FYI for some reason we throw more against indians i don'y get it we are run happy everywhere else.

I'll stick with my earlier assesment on D. Merka. Very good athlete. Won't play QB at TCU. I thought Merka was the better athlete, but Doty was the better QB.

Good Luck Coogs. Maybe you guys can go on another big run like last year.

[shovel]

I dont know how many balls Merk bounced off his recievers hands and chests. Merka needs more help to win. He cant do it by himself. Bad snaps and untimley penalties killed any momentum that Crosby tried to get going last night. That is not to take anything away from the Indian defense. They looked much better this week. Good luck to the Cougars. I hope y'all rebound and dominate 19-4A. I look for the Indians to get better and show us more in Texas City. Scalp 'em!

Good job PN-G way to handle those pesky cougars.

Good Job PNG. Hope to play yall in the playoffs this year again

[surfer73]

Great job ! SCALP-EM-ALL !

[dayton]

Much more even boxscore than I expected... Crosby just couldn't get those ball in the endzone I suppose. Fumbles and INT's don't help either. Good job PNG.

BMT Enterprise sux!    Why can't they put the entire article?  We're not gonna buy their rag anyways!

[Guest tappedout]

Not as even as it look's! Merk had 150 yards passing in the 4th quarter after they were down 31-0.

good call... junk time.

[biaplayer]

offense looked good defense was a little better they did give up one deep ball for the td, but this was an improvement from last week, i believe we had two ints, one by hunter knox the other by a wide open  dJ  who needs to see some offensive time with his abilities and aggressive mentality, couldnt believe he headbutted a crosbly player  with out a helmet, the kid is a beast lol.  the 3-4 defense gave up some real estate but kept the points to a minimal, great job great game plan way to execute, have to admit doty and bertrand look really good and jalalai showed some yac  taking it in to the endzone. Wasnt too sure about Doty running a naked bootleg for the score but hey he scored ;D
