Personally, I couldn't be happier Shea ran in the go-ahead touchdown in the championship game. If anyone deserved that honor, it was him.

With what they have returning, I think PNG will be better next year if they can replace Shea.  
 
Nyguen will be tough, but Chatagnier and the young RB coming up should be able to fill in.  Having most of that O-line back sure makes things easier.  
 
Reid Richards is one that hardly came off the field.  Kid is a ball player.  It may take 2 guys to replace him, but it can be done.  
 
As for Shea…PNG won more games with him out this season than when he played.  That said, he was never truly out.  I commented on many game threads this season about him on the sidelines on a scooter giving signals and rolling around motivating the team and getting in Bailey’s ear after every series.  All of his 1 & 2 yard TD’s from the wildcat can be easily replaced.  The leadership he displayed the last 2 seasons on and off the field was the difference in my opinion.  
 
Stats can be replaced.  Leadership is much harder to quantify.  If someone can fill Shea’s huge shoes, PNG should have another great season.  

Nothing in football or life is guaranteed.
That being said, I think PN-G has the best chance to go to state of any team that will or may be in 5ADII Region 3 during the 2024 season.
History repeating itself has been a running theme for the Indians the last two seasons. I might point out that, with the exception of 1999, whenever the Indians have gone to state, they’ve made multiple trips over a short period of time.
In particular, this season saw the Indians’ second consecutive title game appearance. The only other time in PN-G history the Indians have made consecutive championship appearances, they went to three title games in a row.
All that’s to say, I like our odds. 😎

You don’t shut down a can of whoop ass.  

I want to make the trip from Orange up there but not sure if it will work out,  may have to watch at home. Either way this Mustang will be pulling for you!  I’ve always had tons of respect and admiration for PN-G. The history, the culture, the die hard fanatic fans, it’s everything that Texas high school football should be. Please don’t ever change anything. 
Go Indians!!!

Just going with the years listed on pngindians.com they were on varsity, I knew Ky Walker was starter most games in '13, was'nt sure if he missed games with injury for Morse to play.  I have no connection to any of the QB's or any disrespect to any. Just going on seeing each guy play & leading their teams in big games, I would take Long as the best passing QB.   

35-17 WB

35-17 WB

Hell of a play call. Double pass for TD 35-17. I'm really impressed with WB coach and kids execution.

SFA85 is gone.  So is PNGFan.
LET ME MAKE THIS PERFECTLY CLEAR!  If you wish to comment on face, we have a forum down stairs called the Politcal Forum.  There are a bevy of folks down there pro and con that are more than ready to debate or support your views, whatever they may be.
HOWEVER, THERE WILL BE NO RACIAL COMMENTS OR RACE BAITING on any of the sports forums.  Those that wish to do so WILL BE GONE!  THIS AIN'T THE NFL AND I AM SURE AS HELL NOT ROGER GOODELL.  You want to get racial on THIS forum, YOU WILL POST HERE NO MORE!!!!
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS!!!  And if you wish to question, you had better be careful......I AM NOT IN A GOOD MOOD!

Faiclothe came out in the second half and said to hell with the defense and put on a training clinic... Our defense is not real good. But to their credit they stood up when it mattered... penalties went both ways. As I said we had to weather the storm. Memorial wore down on defense in the second half. If our defense can figure it out we are legit. For the Shug haters.... Keep hating if you want. No QB in the district is even close to him. For that matter in the state of Texas no one can do what he does... Hate if you want... The kids a beast.... A W is a W... We have the best threats in the district. Our defense needs work. Kids are in position but are not fundamentally sound on tackling... BF put a clinic on in the 2nd half with the help of the best Dual Threat around. Kids showed heart. I figured this game was over at the half.... credit to the defense in the 4th.... They hung in there and showed heart....... 

Johnson had 265 yards on 25 carries. Threw for 137 on 11 of 17 with 3 TDs
Deslatte had 108 on 12 carries with a TD.
McGough led in receptions with 8 for 74 and a TD.
Willowridge finished with 285 yards, 9 first downs and 14 points (still think the D played like crap?)
PNG had 532 yards.

Good win!  Long overdue, but the special teams and kicking game is brutal.  They were lucky that the defense bailed them out when the score was 27-21 after that fake FG.   They obviously have zero confidence in their FG team.  If you're going to go for it, why not let 2 or 22 run the ball or just give it a chance and kick the daggum FG?   Why would you take the chance of that being a lateral and overthrown and scoop and score?   Let the offense do the work if you wanna go for it.  
I'm not really impressed with our team nor the play calling.   I'm proud of the defense for stepping up and making plays.  But this team will not go very far being a 1 man show.  They gotta get more creative and balanced on offense and more physical on defense.   I can't stand this system of playing one side of the ball.   Faircloth said after the game "our goal is to get to the playoffs." Well how about making a deep run in the playoffs and winning a state championship?  That will never happen unless you talk about it often, keep the playmakers On the field, Set the expectations higher and get into the players arse a little bit more.  This team has yet to completely dominate an opponent.
I apologize for this rant. I will stop now.
Congratulations to the Players and the Fans on this victory.
