To add to my last post: I AM biased towards LCM. My son plays, one daughter dances, another plays EVERYTHING, my wife works there, and I went there. Last week I thought Cleveland was going walk all over us. I was wrong. This week will be ONE GREAT GAME. I STILL have to give the edge to the Bears.

I see a lot of "upset" and "sneak up on" being used as if PNG was good last year and LCM was not or PNG was the team to beat. Neither team were very good last year. That being said, I just don't understand how PNG folks could just assume they are better than LCM. I'm a WOS fan and am fairly neutral, but looking at both teams opponents this year, if I were a PNG fan, I would be wondering how good my team REALLY is. LCM has played tough teams, they know where they are. Although it is said many times over how much scrimmages don't matter, I would be, at least a LITTLE concerned about the fact that Cleveland put the smack down on BH like they did. A team that PNG went to OT with. I am also seeing a little LCM mentality that they "hope" they compete. Sure hope the kids don't have the same because PNG has done nothing this year that should make them feel they are an underdog. This is just the first district game, an important game, but no more so than any other. If they play like they did against Cleveland, they win this game. Gas, Although I personally thought your post was good...logic and good sense have no business being interwoven into this thread. This district opener is big and hopefully the timid Bears will be able to be competitive even though they are going into this game as such a huge underdog. I put LC-M and Vidor in the same boat. Beating up on private schools and 3A teams in non-district. That said, either team could put it together for four quarters and compete with anyone. I don't see it happening for them this week. I am going with the homer pick. PN-G 24 - LC-M 14 Are you actually trying to put WOS and Cleveland in the same boat as Kelly and St Thomas? No, but they are 3A teams right? And to be honest I had forgot they played WO-S. They did not do much against BC, lost to a solid WO-S team, and beat a solid Cleveland team. Like I said earlier. If they put it together for 4 quarters they can play with most teams in the district including PN-G. I still think we win. PNG Played Texas City to a 22-16 OVERTIME win. LCM Dominated Texas City in their scrimmage in Crosby. PNG Beat Barbers Hill 21-20. LCM beat a Cleveland team that dominated Barbers Hill and that had not lost a REGULAR season game in 16 tries. PNG beat Crosby 37-7. Crosby is winless. LCM lost to the (then) #2 ranked WOS Mustangs 28-14. WOS will tell you LCM suprised the heck out of them. They have 2 kids commited to Oklahoma and 1 to SMU. Major Applewhite WAS at the LCM- Cleve game to scout several players for Cleveland including #88, a kid that is going to UT. LCM beat Bridge City 16-0. I REALLY dont want to take anything away from PNGs record but THEIR FANS started it. 3A 4A 5A.... doesnt matter. there are 11 kids on the field at a time. 4A and 5A teams just have more kids watching from the sidelines. To the person that mentioned how 2 PNG players are going to destroy LCM.... It takes 11 kids. LCM doesnt have 1 or 2 kids that dominate. They have 11 kids on either side of the ball that play as 1 unit for the first time in years and THAT is hard to beat. 28-24 LCM WINS
