You know you in better shape that's the issue. In all honesty I will say Nederland coaches hold more value in the WOS scrimmage than the Crosby game. Yes Crosby has beaten us its true, but our coaches uses games such as yours to learn who plays where. That's why they are non factor games. Crosby has a great squad but I bet you anything you will feel us.

I have no prediction for this game but anything can happen. As for the Neumann discussion... I have seen posts on here about how he doesn't have any standouts on his resume and what not. It's not always as simple as that though. It's what a coach does with the talent and circumstances he is given. I can say that he certainly gets every drop out of the talent he is given and preaches a team effort. Just a couple of recent examples I can give: Nederland lost 3 qb's and was down to a fourth string QB and still made it to the playoffs. Also, the game against #1 Pearland Dawson a couple of years ago at Reliant. The deck was stacked against that Nederland team right up until the end of regulation on a bizarre penalty against Dawson that worked to their advantage (QB spiked the ball on 4th down but got penalized for illegal motion allowing them time to get their field goal unit in place.) Nederland still prevailed in OT. At any rate, there are numerous examples like these where Neumann gets teams to rise up to opponents levels. Is he the best coach that ever lived? I'm not saying that, but you'll be hard pressed to find a Bulldog faithful that is looking forward to his retirement. I wouldn't hesitate to guess that most coaches in SETX would put him at the top of their lost as best in the area. I'm sure Faircloth would whole heartedly agree with that sentiment.

So PNG scores on an 80 yard bomb to McZeal... Nederland answers with a 10 play 75 yard drive chewing up 4:50 minutes of clock.  PNG scores again on a 70 yard bomb to Giblin... Nederland answers with a 12 play 85 yard drive chewing up 5:30 minutes of clock... who will be patient enough to finish?  I don't think there's any doubt PNG's passing game is going to give ALOT of teams nightmares... Oh except for Crosby.

Some random thoughts about the scrimmage...
WO-S offense is definitely ahead of their defense, which is not the norm. The defense reminded me of where we were two years ago...young and enduring growing pains, especially in the secondary. Although, they did pick off three passes. The linebackers need more time and practice to develop their reads. This is ALWAYS priority in a Cornel Thompson defense and I'm confident they will "arrive" at where this needs to be as the season progresses.  
Nederland's #22 is the best player on their offense. Find ways to use that kid more. The Ned offense showed good balance with rushing and passing. They did nice work running both inside and outside at times. The QB looks solid. I like the look of their offensive sets. They've developed a nice package of keeping the defense guessing as to whether their sets will be a pass or run. Neumann is an excellent offensive mind. Always has been.
Jack Dallas is very good. He is makes quick decisions, does not hold onto the ball, and is really accurate with mid and long range throws. 'Picking up where he left off last year. The rushing part of the O needs work, but #27 looked the best out of the rotation of backs.
Nederland's greatest strength is the versatility of their offense. Their biggest weakness is the the secondary. It seems they were scrambling, holding, and hitting early at least half of the time on pass plays.
WO-S finds is biggest upside in the passing game - namely Jack Dallas' throwing ability and the numerous receivers who can catch and run. Their greatest weakness is the kicking game.
The WO-S fans enjoy scrimmaging Nederland just as I know many of you Ned fans have said the same about us. It's always a good test for both. Best wishes to the Bulldogs this year.
 
 

Look, nobody's trying to slight Crosby, they are a great program and coming off a magical year... But damn, you gotta be some kind of twisted to say Nederlands last 4 years haven't been relevant, that's just disingenuous.  

FINAL: Huffman Hargrave 6. Needville 4.
CONGRATULATIONS, HUFFMAN HARGRAVE LADY FALCONS!!!
2015 UIL CLASS 4A STATE CHAMPIONS!!!
 

Do you Crosby people have a drinking game going on trying to see if you can make every thread about Crosby no matter how unrelated it may be? Enjoy the playoffs and try a little humility. You look like a bunch of jacka*##& when you try to interject the greatness of Crosby High School athletics into every topic of every sport on this website.

This is so awesome, every Nederland thread on this board turns into how Crosby is gonna whoop the snot outta some other team. This is comical. Nederland is just the prelude to all of the great Crosby threads. They are for real. Coogs, y'all need to jump on the thread where Souljas asking g about the Nederland Spring game... Y'all can start arguing how you're gonna whoop Cedar somebody for state

Congratulations to Crosby freshman rb,Craig Williams, who's only the 5th freshman to receive an FBS offer in the state of Texas so far this year. He was offered by his rbs coach alma mater, SMU, over the weekend.

2016 DB, Joseph Pickney, was offered over the weekend also by Texas State. Super physical downhill safety.

Taylor Perry and Manny Netherly, ranked 32 and 34 respectively per the 2017 Texas composite, could also be picking up offers during the Spring evaluation period. Expect those two as well as Carlos Grace and possibly two others to be holding FBS offers after next season.

Looks like there's no shortage of talent the next several years. Scariest part is that the incoming freshman class could be the deepest of all.

Congrats to the previously mentioned kids and what they've accomplished to date.

I saw last night on Channel 6 news where we have another local team that might be playing for a state championship.  LCM's Special Olympic flag football team.  Good luck to the team.  Winners in my eyes already.

King will be the underdog in every possible upcoming game (Ridge Point, Temple, George Ranch) so they are a true sleeper. I wouldn't bet against them. Ridge Point is in for a war.

23 seconds left and 2 timeouts.....why wouldn't you try to score???
