The Coogs came into the “Reservation” in Groves, Texas as they took on the Port Neches Indians sporting a 0-1 record, craving a win.  The night was awful and the Coogs couldn’t get anything going the game kicked off and the PN-G Indians came out with a furry, these Indians wanted to scalp the Coogs.  PN-G (1-1) basically wore down the smaller Cougars (0-2) and the gashes in Crosby's defense began to enlarge wider and wider after the Indians owned only a 10-0 halftime advantage. Honestly, everything about PN-G's second-half performance looked great, even though Crosby owned more first downs and total yards at halftime. Quarterback Brennan Doty for the Indians had the better night of two well-respected passers, completing 12 of 18 for 178 yards and four touchdowns. Crosby counterpart Dominic Merka was 14 of 33 for 193 yards and a score, but two interceptions. Here's the misleading aspect of Merka's night, though. The Crosby passer was 4 of 12 for 41 yards with two interceptions at the end of three quarters. The Indians had a 31-0 upper hand before the TCU pledge ever piled up his numbers.  PN-G's defense did not try to suffocate Crosby by any means. The Indians linebackers and corners loosened the space at the line of scrimmage and allowed themselves a cushion to cope with Crosby's speed and Merka’s skills as a runner and thrower. Crosby ran for a net of 15 second-half yards at the same time that PN-G's offensive line was bringing out the hammer.  PN-G's starting receivers showed good speed on this outing too. Amir Jalali grabbed five balls for 81 yards and two scores. Jayce Nelson looked like a faster version of Spencer DeRon, catching five for 58. Collin Gizzi had 2 for 39 and has seemed to be good for at least one big play night after night. Schexnider and Hunter Knox intercepted Merka who had two other disasters in the first half's final three minutes. A high snap sailed over punter Merka's head, setting up the Indians' first touchdown. Crosby answered back, moving from its 27 to PN-G's 21 in the half's final minute. Merka kept the ball on an apparent quarterback draw. Safety Tanner Jorgensen jarred the ball loose and end Christian Shetley claimed the free ball for PN-G on the Tribe's 14. The Coogs just couldn’t get anything going and all hell broke lose, but the only good thing on the night was when Merka connected with Wide Receiver  Willie Hebert for a 41 yard jack, making  the score 31-7 in favor of the Indians with 10:27 left in the 4th. After the Indians gave up the first score of the night, the Coogs defense couldn’t contain them; the Indians Brennan Doty had a 14-yard run and scored on the Coogs with 7:43 left in the game, making the Indians up 38-7 over the lonely Cougars. The Coogs couldn’t get anything going and the Indians just decided to run the ball till the final whistle. The Indians knocked off the Crosby Cougars, by a final score of 38-7.

Paragraphs are both fun and useful.

As is punctuation.

Seriously, if you truly wish to be a journalist, you not only need to pay attention to grammar and spelling, you need to develop your own style.

This piece, while full of information, was poorly constructed and pretty boring.  I'm not trying to be harsh, just providing constructive criticism.

[/quote]So the Indians came out with a furry that night? I shudder to ask what that is.....LOL  :D
That's the only bad thing about spell checker, while it can correct spelling, it doesn't understand word usage as in [b]FURY[/b].

Actually, the proper phrasing is "COULDN'T care less", not COULD care less  ;D

Regardless...I am impressed that the young man hung everything out there, despite the critisism he was bound to take.  Keep workin', Justin.  What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger!

I thought the article was pretty thorough,  although I never did any collegin' stuff.  I liked it.

DON'T LET THEM GET TO YOU COUGAR,  AT YOUR AGE,  MOST OF THESE CLOWNS COULDN'T EVEN WRITE A PARAGRAPH!

Proud you are correct clowns is right. I hope this kiddo doesnt put down his pen and quit writing especially if he really love doing it.

My only point was that paragraphs would've been useful.  Surely that doesn't make me some type of shameless animal with no heart.  Admit it, it would have been easier to read with a paragraph or five thrown in the mix.  just sayin'

To jkelm if you are a 14 year old doogie howser type in college, I apologize.  If your serious about journalism, you are going to have to develop a thick skin because if everybody likes what you write, you won't have a job for very long.

He never came on here and said I am a college kid. HE portrayed himself as a journalist, so if you are going to say you are a journalist be prepared to take criticism. Don't lie about your credentials next time...and a statistician? I play Madden that doesn't make me an offensive coordinator.

BECAUSE.......Pay attention now,  you may need to know this later.....The Reservation,  which is PNG's stadium,  IS IN PORT NECHES!
Groves is a totally separate town,  and it would be really hard to have a stadium in 2 different towns.

OK,  are we clear now?
