I guess they can use the flare after the game to let everyone know the canoe has sunk… lmao

Until coaches can block, tackle and score TDs, it is the players that are most important.

When you are 3 rounds deep or deeper talent is fairly even. Then it is all coaching.

From what I’ve seen of the BH run game, just not sure they’re strong enough to take pressure off Fuentes & the passing game. If PAM can play their typical 425 & slow BH run game, BH is in trouble. PAM is weak up the gut against the power run unless they stack the box like they did against LP. This will be the chess match. If BH can throw in some pistol where their RB (Rodriguez I think it was) can hide and make PAM read the guards, it’ll buy Fuentes some time in the pocket and PAM will have to crowd. If they just run their normal pro type sets, PAM is talented enough defensively this year to nullify and sit/pressure on the pass. Since I haven’t seen BH live at what is full strength D-wise, not sure how they’ll stack up. PAM’s run game is solid. But, not like LP in that it’s not a power run game. Martin & Baker are speedy and hit the holes quick. They go down a little easier than LP’s Barnes, Sandolf & Bright. Can’t really compare the RB’s as they’re fairly different styles. Neither team’s OL fires off downfield like LP’s. Different styles. They’re more adept at pass pro, but can open lanes at the LOS. PAM’s receiving core is very solid. They anticipate & make excellent downfield routes. Best deep balls I’ve seen in district play. Not big. But very good hands. Not many dropped balls. The 3 or so minutes around the half against LP totally changed the momentum of our game. When LP missed the TD opportunity in the redzone ahead by 21 and going for the kill, then missed the FG, went into half, came out & fumbled the KO return, PAM jumped. BIG. At least a 13 point swing…possibly more. Momentum was PAM’s, and they never looked back. (Of course, they also began stacking the box at that point which was also big.) Seeing both against a common/solid opponent, PAM—IMHO—is the more dangerous team. But, they can be had if a solid team eliminates mistakes and makes them play straight up. TO’s—as usual—will make or break this game. JMO I’ve got PAM by at least a TD in a fairly low scoring contest for these teams. Say, 28-21. There may be weather. If wrong, I’ll be back to congratulate BH where the Scientist dude doesn’t get his feelings all hurt. 😁

Here are this week's rankings. [Hidden Content] Coverage area teams in these rankings: 6A #8 Atascocita #9 Beaumont United 5A #25 Port Arthur Memorial 4A #6 Silsbee #16 Hamshire-Fannett 3A #9 Kountze #10 Orangefield 2A #14 San Augustine #19 Evadale 1A #6 Brookeland

as a kicker, I will say this... if you pass up the opportunity for your kicker to kick 30-40 PATs throughout the year, you better hope like heck you don't end up in a playoff game needing a 25-yd fg to win as time expires.

I am thinking PNG 35 or 42 Nederland 7 maybe 14

This means one thing: the beginning of the boys high school season is near.

PNGs offensive line and running game is too much for Nederland. The stingy PNG defense wont give up points easily. As a Nederland fan this hurts to say but... PNG 42 Nederland 21

Motivated much better, culture was much better, and the results were at least prettier. We may have a similar record to what Matthews would produce this year, but its not impressive football.

How fitting it's Garcia with the grand slam! 😁

And LP crushed Lee while PAM struggled. Yes. All about matchups. Funny to mention, but PAM also has a very good weapon in their PK. Strange to see that from a PAM team. If it comes down to that, edge PAM.

Exactly 😁

PNG atmosphere 1 point Nederland Bigger visiting stands 1 point Nederland visiting stands have aisles that lead to your seats 1 point. As long as no flares are brought to this game Dogs will Win!!!!

Que @Reagan

Ok I’m not losing my mind, the kid has ridiculous speed

But no one said you had to have 15,000 plus fans to have a game. Again, Lamar holds 16,000. That's just 3500-5000 more than The Rez and Bulldog Stadium. That extra is not going to matter for the team and the extra costs will not be worth just a third more of attendance. Both teams would lose more revenue just to convenience a third more people. I have been to MCM a few times. I honestly do not think 5000 people is getting turned away from this game on a yearly basis.

There is a poster on here saying how great of a coach he is.. funny to read what the fans of the team say about it all. But you aren’t the first one saying what you are saying

If Ned plays clean then they can beat Sante Fe. The difference between 3rd and 4th is big. RSS and GCM have no shot against FW, but I think that RSS has a punchers chance against this years Manvel team. Not sure about GCM, maybe they do as well. BH should bury LP.

I went to the Coldspring at Woodville game this year.

Said it earlier in the year, and I’m saying it again….until someone proves that they can beat Orangefield in this district , I will pick the Bobcats everytime. This is still Kirbyville who lost to Anahuac, and we have seen the downfall of Anahuac in recent weeks in the district with three losses to (Ofield, EC, and Buna). Orangefield just continues to win. I think Kirbyville will play tough but not enough to secure the victory.

Either way Texans get to see a 'Texas" team play in the World Series!

Certainly

He better not play, I know a person that has UIL on speed dial 😁

I'm with you on pimping dingers. Baseball is a kid's game. Guys should be able to have fun after crushing a ball without hurting people's feelings.

Thanks @ECFAN#1 we have lost 2 heartbreak mers

Great coaching recognizes the talent their players may or may not have then adjust their system around those players to put them in the best position to win. One example is BISD having lots of talent but without a proper coach the y can't produce wins. Another is Crosby being consistent winners until their coaches left and they hit rock bottom. One Crosby coach goes to Chapel Hill and makes them winners instantly. There is too many examples of this to list

Thats probably about where I'd have it

I’m no head coach, but in my opinion, I would gain a healthy lead then start putting in 2’s by the 4th quarter. Keep everyone healthy, and get some reps to some guys you may have to lean on down the stretch. For that reason I think it would be closer. Plus for some reason, LCM has always been a thorn in Lumberton‘s side. You never know when it comes to that matchup.

I actually think it will be closer... (I hope not though)

I think it's a lot closer to 50-50 than most people from schools with a lot of talent believe. Quite often those athletes are a product of a preparation in a system that goes back 6 or more years. When you start naming great athletes that came from your program, ask yourself "how successful would they have been if they'd played for a crappy program?" I use WOS as an example. The Mustang faithful always go back to it being the athletes, not coaching that made them great. All they need to do is hire one of CT's old assistants and there WILL be a return to glory, right? How many WOS kids are in the NFL right now? How many are playing D1 ball? Being a part of that program helped to make good athletes have great high school careers. But it's a mixture... the best coaching in the world won't help a bunch of unathletic kids get to the State Championship.... but top notch coaching can help a bunch of good players have a GREAT season/career.

again I bring up the Lord of the Rings. since he arrived the talent seems to only improve. Hence having varsity teams that are majority underclassmen winning consistently at a high level.

When you have three guaranteed outs in a lineup, it makes it hard to win. There’s not a soft spot in the Rangers order. Peña, Maldonado, and Tucker are awful. I would start McCormick over Tucker. Tucker’s lack of hustle in the outfield and his inability to hit is a problem. Hopefully, they can pull it off tonight!

Gotta go with PNG on this. They are a little too strong. IMO

Lol, our kicker might the fastest kid at school. Advantage BH😎😁 I’m actually serious

Wouldn’t go that far. The Larry’s & Joe’s aren’t much good if they’re in the wrong place, or wrong position. They also can’t make their own in game adjustments. If straight up & optimized—yes—Larry’s & Joe’s. But, like combat of a different sort, nothing is ever totally optimized. Just thoughts of an old man. Pay me no heed.

Absolutely not the game should be played at either Nederland or Port Neches UNLESS a hurricane comes along THEN we can play in Pasadena😉

I wonder what Coach Stewart could've done with this Dayton squad..........🤔

I agree. It really is a dumb idea.

A little information for this upcoming game// District games / both 3-0 Bears: scored 87/ given up 69 Raiders: scored141/ given up 49

Atmosphere @NDNation @RaiderGirl22 @BMTSoulja1

Which cities are company s packing their bags and leaving? Which cities support/supported defund the police? Which states are people leaving? The intelligence level of some

Dont be so negative😂 Atleast when me and you played them we beat them chumps

I see people saying this is game #100, but the math isn’t mathing. PNG wins, Ned can’t flood the field anymore and make it a mud bowl!

These are the Thursday games for our coverage area teams for next week: Porter at Baytown Lee FB Marshall at Galena Park Palestine Westwood at Crockett Hardin at East Chambers Hull-Daisetta at Colmesneil High Island at Burkeville

Correct. He had 3 losses just like me. @WOSdrummer99

Ok I am going to nerd out on you here. In 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929, and 1930. PNG and Nederland played 2 times each season. In 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, and 1953 PNG vs Ned did not play. In 1927, 1930, 1940, 1943, 1965, 1968, and 1987 where all ties. Largest margin of victory's PNG 1947 won 71-0 PNG finishes 11-1 Ned 2001 won 42-10 That year Nederland made it to play Smithson Valley in the State Semi-finals losing 38-14 PNG has been to 7 State Championships and won 3 Nederland has been to 3 State Championships and won 1 State Championship. PNG has been to the semi-finals 9 times. Nederland has been to the semi-finals 3 times. PNG has reached the quarter-finals 11 times Nederland has been to the quarter-finals 11 times PNG has been district champs 27 times Nederland has been district champs 25 times. PNG has played in 90 playoff games Ned has played in 88 Playoff games PNG football record is 633-361-33 Nederland football record is 585-399-35 Overall MCM record is 53-39-7 1st game of MCM was in 1925 100th game in 2023. PNG has won 8 decades Nederland has won 3 decades. 45 games have been 7 points or less margin of victory. 25 games have been 3 points or less. 7 times have been ties. My apologies for nerding out. Good luck both teams I hope we have a safe game. I am sure it will be entertaining.

Man I'm still waiting on HF to make that trip to state, or at least regional tournament 😁 I blame poor lighting each season @BMTSoulja1

I think we should play 19 times to commemorate the 19 straight seasons Nederland went without beating PN-G from 1965 to 1984. 😎
