Honest opinion Nederland did what they've done all season and got down to a good team. This time that good team fed on that lead and blew it open. The aftermath is a bit discouraging, but hey it happens. I bet the dogs felt a lot like Texas High did when they were down by 28. Different teams handle that differently, Nederland got into a track meet without the boys to run a track meet against maybe the fastest team in 5AD2.
To beat a team like Marshall you either have to score with them or shut them down. Crosby will likely have to score with them Huntsville would have tried to shut them down. Nederland needed to shut them down and when that didn't work the barn cart fell over.
Great season dogs, might very well have lost to a state finalist if the cougars cannot take them out this week.
