Coaching is the clear difference. Look at WOS a few years ago vs now. No culture change, just a different coaching staff. PNG under this coaching staff goes to state with at least one of R Johnson teams. Joesph takes over a Faircloth team and goes to state the next season. I’d go as far as saying that this current PNG staff would have took one or two of the 2014, 2015 Nederland teams to state.

I’ve seen all 3 of these teams play this year (HF, Silsbee and Jasper) IMOP Jasper has the most talented team in the district but they are also the worst coached and undisciplined of the 3. Jasper would have beat HF without all the unnecessary roughness calls and poor offensive play calling. If HF and Jasper are lucky enough to meet in the 3rd round I’ve got Jasper winning but don’t see HF making it to round 3. Silsbee has the best player in the district in Miller and some other good complimentary receivers and RB. Silsbee has the best shot of of making the deeper run of the 3 teams. HF is well coached and has good talent but their offense line will be their downfall. Their QB is very accurate and the best in the district when given time to set his feet. When he played Silsbee and Jasper he was throwing off his back foot all game and had no time to set his feet. He took some hug hits in both these games. With all that said, I wish all the teams in this district the best of luck and pray for the best. One thing is for sure they are battle tested.

It looks like Jasper and HF would have a rematch if they both make it to the 3rd round.

I wish this was the case but it looks like HF meets Cuero in 2nd round. HF would have been better off as 3rd seed.

Any updates?

I think there invisible.

Congratulations Nederland. A PNG fan was counting y’all out a few weeks ago. This has to hurt.

I believe he is out with a hip injury.

Big win for LCM with arguably there best player still playing football. LCM will be a tough out in district play.

I am afraid Nederland is in trouble. I can see BH and PNG both beating TC. Not what I expected after beating PNG. BH losing to PNG did us in.

I’m surprised by this! This is the 1st time in how many years Bates hasn’t got her team to the regional tournament?

It’s all about match ups. Crosby beat the breaks of BH twice and Nederland took 1 of 2 from Crosby and it could of been 2 of 2. I haven’t seen GCM play but comparing common opponents isn’t always a accurate measuring stick. I expect a prepared Nederland team and that this game could go either way.

This is a big win. Nederland lost to Crosby twice last year. As I said before, if Gipson and Tyler both play well this is a different team. I still think this years team is better than last years team. They play better as team defensively and offensively.

He is a great coach and does more with his teams with less talent than anyone. Take Boute for example at Westbrook. He has a championship pedigree at Lincoln and to some the greatest coach ever but he’s getting it handed to him now. Why is that? Same coach but different results. It’s all about the talent you have to work with. IMO.. You give English the talent of Lincoln and Yates, yeah he wins a state title.

IMO...This years team is just as good as last years team. This years team plays better over all defense and they share the ball better than the team last year. Last years team did better with the press with the help of Hefner. The problem at the moment as compared to earlier games this year is that Gipson is in a funk. He hasn’t played very well. When he’s in a grove then you have the inside and outside threat with him and Jackson and this becomes a different team. With that said, there not beating a BU or Crosby team even with everyone playing to there potential however they can beat a BH or Memorial team if they are. 3rd, 4th and 5th is up for grabs but If Gipson can’t get out of his slump Nederland will finish 5th.
