you obviously didn't get my meaning. it was our game to win and we lost it. yes, you got the 4th and nine. your qb threw it up and your guy came down with it. yes, your reciever made probably the graetest catch of the year that put you in scoring position. yes, our defense did not hold. so in my opinion, we lost the game. not taking anything from Ned. they made the plays, we didn't at the end. and you know dang well, we will be gracious hosts as yall were last year.

Not to mention the leading rusher of 20-4A at the time went down with a game ending injury at his third play that game. And already had 30+ yards that game anyways.

But not making excuses. Yall made the plays. We didn't. But that game could've gone either way.
[/quote]

He wasn't the leading rusher.  Hate to burst your bubble but we had this discussion several times during the season.
[/quote]
At the time he was. You want me to bring back the stats?
[/quote]
No actually at the time he wasn't! Mayes had a 10 yard edge on him. And soon thereafter the Bull was lost for the year and a 4-0 Livingston team went 3-3 without him.
[/quote]

David Bolinger

Texas high - 17 att 133 yds
BC - 11 att 130 yds
Kville - 12 att 125 yds

Devonte Mays

Jasper - 16 att 127 yds
Houston Washington - 8 att 143 yds
Huntsville - 9 att 90 yds

David Bolinger total yards at week 3 - 388

Devonte Mays total yards at week 3 - 360

Stats don't lie guys.
[/quote]
So where did you get your Mayes Totals? and Where did you get your Bollinger totals? It's pretty obvious you got the Mayes numbers from iPreps, but did not use iPreps for Bollingers totals. Real convinient. In that case "STATS DO LIE!"

Bollinger on iPreps (same site you used for Mays)
Texas high - 17 att 138 yds
BC - 11 att 102 yds
Kville - 12 att 110 yds
For a total of 350. Or 10 fewer yards than Mays.

I ain't got a dog in this fight, no pun intended, but if your trying to say that losing Bollinger was why you lost to Nederland, then you are just like all those other Vidor sports fans that claim that it's the coaches fault or it's the officials fault or an injury's fault, but never give credit to the fact that the other team was just better! It happens. Last year we had a shot to beat Nederland, but it didn't happen and there were many things we could point to, but in the end they were just better than us (not by much ;D).
[/quote]
Ipreps was where i got may's stats but i got bolinger's stats from the stat book of Vidor. Maybe they counted the kickoffs or something but i know they are accurate. And i have been saying the whole time that yall beat us and never did i say that if bolinger didn't get injured that we would've won i'm simply trying to justify that if Bolinger had been in it could've been the tip on scale on a 3 point win. That is all. The Bulldogs won. Plain and simple. It happens. No excuses there.  8)

I'm waiting to see also, if the predicted top Dogs of 20-4A will be able to handle the pressure of having every team week in and out coming out to take them down.  ;D ;D ;D ;D Now that will be the thing to watch. 8) 8) 8) 8)
[/quote]
That is a very good point. It will be exciting to see how well they do under pressure. They didn't have as much hype last year as they do this year. That's a definite factor.

[quote author=Steven_A_Smith link=topic=99073.msg1215017#msg1215017 date=1335463079]
I think that Central is capable of making the playoffs, but they can't rely on Mitchell running the ball nearly every down simply because he is there best player.  Everyone said that he would be bound to get hurt if he ran nearly every play and that is exactly what happened.  When will Central open up their offense? 
'Quite Frankly' I think the 20-4A district title is a toss up. Vidor and Ozen have teams that believe and they have talent to make some noise.  PNG is my sleeper.
[/quote]

Great post. I totally agree. PNG is always a sleeper with there tradition and coach. And Central will be dangerous if they find a RB or Receiver to take some heat off of Mitchell. I'm calling Central as my underdog for the season.

As a PNG fan I know Nederland is the clear favorite to win district. After that the remaining three teams will be a crapshoot. Just for giggles.

2. PN-G
3. Vidor
4. Livingston / Ozen

PN-G will only be as successful as the QB play allows them to be. They have plenty of size and skill players but I was told that AJ has issues "throwing a catchable ball". If he develops some touch and accuracy he has plenty of arm strength to get the job done. I can say for a fact I speak with one of the smaller kids on the O-line pretty often and he is about 6'0" and in the 250 to 260 range.
[/quote]
I was up at the school yesterday and was watching AJ throw the ball around on the field to some of the receivers. He throws very hard and was dead on with his throws 9 out of 10 times. That was short routes, cross the middle routes and the deep ball. He was throwing bullets 10,20 yards at a time. I think Faircloth has worked hard with him. I do know he will be hitting some camps this summer as well. He had great form and technique rolling out and throwing. I think us PNG fans always have a struggle with a new QB til we see them make it happen. I feel more comfortable after yesterday. Also the back up to AJ has a great arm as well. Very fast too. To the doubters. Next years Senior class has matured tremendously and all have grown in size considerably and are still doing so. Also you have to add in the mix the boys who played JV last season who are moving up. There is alot of talent there and some incredible size. There is gonna be another tall receiver on the field as well, just a bit shorter than Chipman. Very fast. We also have several backs to choose from or use in a split backfield. I have all the faith that Faircloth and his coaches will have this team right up there in the mix of it all and be a playoff team.

[prepballfan]

A QB  6'5" throwing to a reciever at 6'4" will be fun to watch  at PNG this season.

[BMTSoulja1]

Almost like Doty 6'3"  to DeRon (6'4") , right?

[/quote]Now that I think about it, was it even Doty throwing passes to DeRon?  I believe Doty was a sophmore when DeRon was a Sr.  Correct me if I'm wrong.

[PNGFan]

Doty was a Junior during DeRons Sr. year.

[pngfan66]

Yep Doty was a Junior.

That was the 2009 season. Doty and I both were juniors.

Corbin Carr's "little" brother, Justin, will be a freshman and he is already bigger than Corbin. Just some food for thought.

1. Dogs
2. Vidor
3. Png
4. Central

[dustoff03]

PN-G is always scary. They sometimes start out slow but then bam.....
Central needs help. Mitchell is not a one man team.
Ozen could be a little gun shy as far as agressiveness after last years finale.
Livingston has Collins but that appears to be it(i look for them next year)
Lumberton, well..........
LC-M could make some noise but the pieces have to fall perfect(doubtful)
Ned is still celebrating last year and putting up billboards this year(will still make the playoffs)
Vidor will put all doubts aside this year

Vidor
Ned
PN-G
Central

[jordibug15]

All I have to say is GOOOOO RAIDERS!!!!
Prove everyone wrong!

[pngfan66]

PNG had their first Spring practice today. Full pads. Team looked good. D was on mark and the O line did very well. Defense executed very well. Impressed with their pressure and pursuit. Secondary is very good.  I was surprised at the size we have out there on the O line. 3 returners and the other 2 are very good size boys.  Running backs are very very quick and fast. Very explosive thru the gaps and to the outside. Several receivers to throw to again this year with great hands. 3 of which are tall, around 6'2"-4". The others have great hands as well.  AJ was on the mark for most passes today. Stayed in the pocket and picked best route and receiver. Back up QB has a great arm as well. Reminds me of Miller. He can tuck and run when he has too. Very fast. Team looked very good and solid. Now I'm biased, but others may see differently. Team worked hard this morning. We were missing a few key players today due to minor injuries from other sports. Overall good looking group of boys out there. Very balanced on both sides of the ball.

Just a random question, 20-4a brothers...  When was the last time that you remember Central missing the playoff for 2 consecutive  years?  We missed the playoffs in 2004 only to win district title the following year. We missed the playoffs in 2007 only to make a 4 round playoff push the following year. Last  year, we missed the playoffs...  this year...  ?????  ;) ;) 8) 8)

That's why I never count Central out ...  ;)

[Cougtalk]

I think PNG has a big resurgence this year and i think the dogs will have a small let down. Those are my predictions. (I've never gone or ever been affiliated with PNG so just don't go there dog fans.)

Let me clear my throat lol....I know that we don't have a Trey Green clone and that we are losing our line but DON'T count my PANTHERS out.

[thedogs1987]

Ozen and Png are always in the mix.  Both have ability to make something happen every season.  Two of my favorite teams to play....oh yeah,  Vidor, too.(I don't want them to think I left them out).

Do see bright future for Dogs...

[PlayActionPass]

Nederland and Vidor are at the top, no doubt about that.

The next two spots are up for grabs. Ozen, Central, PNG and Livingston should fight it out for the final two spots.

All four of these teams have question marks going into next season. Injuries and schedule (home/road) will also play a major role in who finishes in the money.

Lumberton and LCM are both still a year away from contending.

[/quote]At Livingston we lost 20 Seniors, but the strong preseason schedule will help our young player grow up in a hurry. We are still not putting a lot of pressure on them to make the playoffs this year, but anything can happen. If our linemen develop who knows what can happen. ;D ;D ;D
