KFDM COOP Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Mid-County Takes Care of Business Nederland (2-2) and PN-G (2-2) are both in a must win situation each week. In order to make the playoffs, the Dogs and Indians of Mid-County must keep winning to have a chance. Mathematically, Nederland can still lose to Dayton and get into the third playoff spot. PN-G, however, needs some magic to happen, other than just winning out. Nederland played host to a winless Ozen squad at Bulldog Stadium Friday Night. No surprise here as Mosley was able to scamper up and down the field, racking up 254 all purpose yards and two touchdowns. Moshier played a great game as well completing 8-of-16 for 176 yards and 3 touchdowns on the way to a 35-16 victory over the Panthers. Nederland improves to 2-2 in District 22-4A as they prepare to take on LC-M (2-2) next week in a game that for all intents and purposes, decides Nederland's post season fate. Early predictions give the top two playoff spots to Dayton (4-0) and Central (4-0). This makes the race for the third spot that much more interesting. All things considered, next week's game at LC-M will prove to be the most important game of this season for the Bears and the Bulldogs. PN-G was on the road this week against an improved Lumberton Raider team (1-3), who was also in the run for the playoffs prior to dropping out of the race after letting PN-G execute a late 4th quarter comeback to win 36-23. With a little over 5:00 remaining in the game and trailing 23-21, Harrison was able to connect with wide receiver Matt Johnson on 3rd and 12 for a 48-yard touchdown pass to take the lead for the remainder of the game. Nederland and PN-G will continue fighting to stay alive this week. The race has thinned down to the Mid-County Teams and LC-M, all with two losses. Vidor and Lumberton have quickly fallen out of the running, at least for now. LC-M showed a great performance against PN-G a couple of weeks ago, but then traveled to Dayton and got shutout on Friday. Unpredictable teams are always a scary thing for coaches and players. For LC-M to win on Friday, they will have to stop Micah Mosley and control the clock. The passing game will be key for the Bears, in order to expose the lack of skill in the Nederland secondary. Nederland will be looking to get the ball into the hands of.... you guessed it, Micah Mosley. With over 1300 yards this season, Mosley continues to be Neumann's bread-and-butter star. Recent developments have proved that Nederland can also throw the ball too, this will improve the Nederland offense tremendously, opening up the field for more potential. PN-G plays host to Vidor this week at the Reservation. Vidor is coming off of a heartbreaking lost to Central at home last week. PN-G is tough at home and Vidor will need to control possession and limit turnovers in order to come away with a win on Friday.
Hupernikomen Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Vidor, LCM or Nederland at this point. PNG is toast with Dayton and Central to play yet. 3rd place will be determined by two games LCM vs Nederland and LCM vs Vidor. Personally I think Vidor wins out and finishes in 3rd place with identical 4-3 record with Nederland but advances on head-to-head.
