Anybody have a 1st quarter score on the Nederland game?

He was released from the hospital the following day and I believe was even able to make the trip to Nederland. I think he is probably in concussion protocol right now but I can't guarantee that. He will be on the court again this season. He's a lucky young man ! 

Nederland had a good first half followed by the worst half of Nederland Bulldog football I’ve ever seen 10-2 is still a good year though 

Looking forward to the PN-G and Nederland games at NRG.  Against Marshall, Nederland will do what they have been doing for the past 25 years:
1. Worry about the things the Dogs control; block out all of the other noise.
2. Play solid defense.  Keep everything in front of you; don’t give up a big play or cheap TD.
3. On offense, establish the line of scrimmage and run north/south.
4. When opportunities are there, throw the ball downfield and make a big play.
5. Limit mistakes/penalties.
When Nederland plays its style, they are in every game until the end and they usually have a shot to win.  Over the past two decades, Nederland has won a lot of games when everyone said, “You’ve got no shot.”  See the LaMarque game at NRG when the Dogs played outstanding defense and Micah Mosely ran wild.  See Nederland beating Pearland Dawson in OT six or seven years ago.  And, I’ve seen too many Ned wins vs. PN-G when I thought the Indians had the better talent.
Looking forward to Nederland playing well and using its style of football to have a shot at the end.  Don’t listen to the outside noise.  Worry about what you control and play good defense.  That worked for Larry Neumann and Delbert Spell for a long time.
See you at NRG.
Go Indians.  Peace.

Bottom line....you lose your starting qb and top 2 tailbacks, that translates into over 2000 yds of offense. We are struggling on offense without our play makers. Tough row to hoe from here on out....

Nederland did to to Willowridge Eagles what they did to BH Eagles. 
Gave up opening drive touchdown and never led until final Nederland drive with less than 2 minutes  
BH Nederland scored with 1:28 and Willowridge at 1:42  
 

Injury bug is getting us at the wrong time 

Pretty much.  If the offense can get rolling in the second half they will be ok.

Thats was so stupid on Nederland's part. Gotta be more disciplined. Our whole backfield is out, we left two touchdowns on the field, and we're still only down 13-7 at half

Being the underdog (as was suggested by many), makes this victory tonight that much sweeter for PNG. That being said, BOTH teams are winners tonite. I’ll be supporting the Bulldogs AND Indians in the playoffs, as I have done in years past. Mid-County RULES!

This is best picture I got.  Props to both bands and their Directors for honoring our Veterans!!!  I think both should be the Channel 12 Bands of the Week.
 

Some of y'all already know, but my last day at the Enterprise is next Friday. I'm moving back to Phoenix (my hometown) for the time being and will be doing some freelance for high schools/college sports. Just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone on here for reading my stories and interacting, especially over the last year and a half or so I've done mainly high schools. I'll still be active on the site and following along after I leave, but just wanted to let everyone know that the coverage will be different come October.

Don't bring that name up again.....  Lol

Great season dogs!!!
For Humble being state ranked and 18-0 in district they weren't very impressive IMO. 
1 point away from a district sweep. Good luck to the rest of District 22-5A!

That’s a tough pill to swallow! Nice showing by the Dawgs. 

Thanks for the stat line...

He had 20 of his team’s 35. I will say it again. Ned is led by a talented sophomore who doesn’t have a ton of help around him. Good road win for Ozen.

Thats very easy to say when its not your kid with 50 touches a game. He probably would never say it aloud, but I bet money Mr. Johnson, his Dad, doesn't appreciate his kid getting ran into the ground because the coaches get brain farts in MCM, the other team has a decent defense, or because they can't tackle a bag of feathers.
 No one replied when I said that PN-G cupboard is running dry on athletes and playmakers with the SRs graduating. Those rbs might have had 700 yards on the season between them. No one is gameplanning for them.  None of the newer recievers have the speed that Hughes and Riggs had and this offense with Roschon was predicated on the deep play action pass. One does not simply throw deep passes to slow receivers. 
Hughes, Riggs, and Johnson are the sprinters on the track team from what I hear.  Where is that speed going to come from? 
Might as well put a saddle on his back because he is about to carry this whole team next year. Might just have to throw the ball to himself. lol Its sad to hear and it hurts your butt but its true. 

Look, when a kid has produced against some of the top kids in the country and has been offered a free education by some of the best basketball minds in the country, yet someone announces on a local board that he will reserve judgment until he sees him for himself against some local competition...  And then most think no one would have the audacity to say that unless it was tongue in cheek, but then that someone continues to try and justify that statement...
Well, any ribbing you get at that point was self-inflicted.  And I can assure you that neither Hayden nor his parents give 3 rips about what us clowns say on this board.  And I doubt Soulja is going to lose sleep - he can take it and dish it out  

In 2005 I thought we had the team to make the playoffs. Solid defense, big o-line, good QB and great running back in Brad Croak. Just beat New Caney in their house by two TDs. Along comes hurricane RIta, destroys our world and our team misses the playoffs by one game (underacheiving). Before the start of this season I had us at 3 - 7; we lost our stud running backs, half to o-line. no Quirante at QB, defense mediocre at best. Everyone, including my family, had to deal with flooded homes and a lot of the kids were homeless for the start of the abbreviated season. One of the main reasons I haven't been on the board much this year. But you guys believe you can win and went 5 - 3 and made the playoffs despite all the naysayers, including myself. As usual, we have to play the best team from 21-5A and you take them to the wire and really should have won. I can't wait to see the stats from this game. I am SUPER proud of you guys, I think you're one of if not the best team in Pirate history and Pirate football has turned the corner because of the coaches and MEN like yourselves. Hold your heads high and approach life the same way you approached this football season. PIRATE PRIDE!
