Indianforever Posted December 18, 2012 Report Posted December 18, 2012 any news from the Resevation or predictions?
Scalpem06 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Posted December 18, 2012 Going to be better than the 2012 team.. But 2 - 8 isn't tough to beat
cooligan Posted December 18, 2012 Report Posted December 18, 2012 Yeah, coach figures to get twice as many wins next year. He is predicting 4 - 6 and NO PLAYOFFS. ;D Hey, at least you are heading into the right direction. GO SQUAWS :-*
jake94 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Posted December 18, 2012 I think they will battle for the final playoff spot, but I am going with Nederland, Central, Vidor, and Ozen. The freshman class this year for PNG is very solid, but it is hard to depend on sophs.
johnnyarm Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 The Indians will be very young next yr. 8 returners on offense with maybe half of those seniors. Defense with a few seniors. Some guys expected to play both ways. I see this team competing for the playoffs. Qb will be a sophmore, but with 4 offensive linemen back, fullback, and all wr's back, he will have the support he needs to help him mature. I think the d gets full attention next yr.
exfactor Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 Johnny, your first post contains bad information. The starting runningback will be Halfin. This will be his first experience on varsity. The starting QB will be Walker, also a junior who earned the starting position last year until injured. PNG will also have many other juniors starting such as Blake Lane, Kaleb Sparks, Avery Murdoch, Blain Peveto and Michael Hughes. The PNG coaching staff (including Faircloth) have already informed the players and are working them in off season accordingly. Many of the players have been told to prepare to play both ways.
PNGFan Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 I read that Permian Coach Gary Gaines resigned. Will Faircloth apply for this position?
cornhusker Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 Coach Faircloth may be burning up the road right now. lol
Indianforever Posted December 19, 2012 Author Report Posted December 19, 2012 [quote name="cornhusker" post="1356683" timestamp="1355923090"]Coach Faircloth may be burning up the road right now. lol[/quote]i hope not but i wouldnt be suprised cause i believe he has been trying to get back to west Texas...plus who wouldnt go after a coaching position at Permian

Second, I don't see him playing Walker as starting QB and CB, thats why I think the Morse kid gets the nod, with Walker playing some QB as a Wildcat/ short yardage QB.
Razor Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 dang, don't they have to be better than this past season?? these points may all be moot as I wouldn't be surprised at all if Faircloth interviews at Permian, although his record this season won't help his cause.PNG should be back in the playoff hunt, at least, next year...it was pretty boring this season without all of the png trash talk...you guys pretty much resigned yourself to weekly beatings early in the season...even MCM was pretty quiet this year...I got the feeling that png just wanted that week to be over and over quick
exfactor Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 PNG doesn't have a fullback. Halfin will be the starting "R" back and Blake Lane is the starting "H" back. Several coaches and players have told me that Walker has already been named the starter. In fact, they say Morse'name has not even been mentioned. Walker will be the starter at QB and also play corner. Lemoine will be his back-up. Should Walker get hurt then Morse will be brought up from JV. Several offensive starters will be playing defense as well like Rose, Murdock, Sparks.
Razor Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 so Faircloth is gonna give in and abandon his philosophy of not using players on both sides fo the ball? this has really hurt png defensively
badndn Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 This team will probably have more Junior and Sophomore starters from game one on than any PNG team in recent history. That said they will take some lumps, especially since they get Silsbee (returning a great QB/RB combo), Summer Creek (a 5A school ;) also returning a great QB), WOS (who is always good) and Nederland (who will be DC favorites again) all within the first 5 games.The talent and football savy of this young group should be worth the wait of maturation for us NDN fans.Some names to keep in mind:Sophomores to be - Morse, Giblin, Wages, Moran, Rembert, Ardoin, Cropper, Valentine, LangstonJuniors to be - Walker, Peveto, Murdoch, Sparks, Halfin, T. Smith, Hughes, Mayfield, Benoit, Ramirez, LaneSenoirs to be - Rose, Romero, Dawson, Broussard, Coy, Wardlow, Mangini, Hanratty, Orozco, Bryan, Bruer, Milan
badndn Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 [quote name="Richard Cranium" post="1356731" timestamp="1355928495"]Langston will be a Soph.[/quote]Corrected. Is that Chuck Langstons son?
PNG1977 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 Yes he is...he's a great athlete and young man!

I knew what they are really called, but alot of people refer the H to a fullback. And I'm not sure what coach you got your info from, but i heard different from another varsity coach. I was told Giblin and Morse will be on Varsity next year along with 3 other to be Sophomores, but hey, we shall see. I believe coach will put the best talent on the field no matter what. That Morse kid is 6' 190 lbs and has a great arm with great instincts and knowledge of the game. The Giblin kid is around 6'3 now and has great hands and from what I'm hearing will be a WR next year. Looking forward to a better season next year!
badndn Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 I'm with you JohnnyArm. Walker prooved his worth as a DB last year and can play wildcat QB and WR. Morse has big time potential. It wouldn't make sense to have him sit for two years when Walker can help you at several other positions.
exfactor Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 Morse is 5' 10" and runs a 5.3 40. Not nearly mobile enough in PNG's offfense. He will be fine when he is a senior. Walker will contribute on defense. That's why Faircloth is playing him both ways.

Brennan Doty was outstanding in PNGs offense and he ran a 5+ 40! Have you seen Morse in a game?
exfactor Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 Yes. Love the kid but if height were the most important element, shouldn't we have won a State championship this year?. Morse ill be fine in due time and his time is coming. He will work on his speed, agility and athleticism and he will be a major factor in a couple of years.
football04 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 Hard to believe Faircloth is going from no two-way starters to playing your QB on defense at CB, Walker hasn't started that many games at QB to begin with, surely out of 1400 students someone other than Walker can play CB.
PNGFan Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 I've seen Morse play many times the past couple years and he is faster that 5.3. But as a father I understand why your on here promoting Ky.
