Field goal attempt of 48 yards is good. 
0:26 in 1, Nederland 17-7

It won't be any different than what the program is already used to.  Currently, we are the 5th smallest 5A in the state.  it doesn't do any good to belly-ache about it.  If it happens again, we just deal with it.  There are plenty of great lessons to be taught with always being the smallest and constantly being an underdog.  But will it hurt in the Win/Loss column?  Sure it will, but oh well.  Gotta play the hand that we're dealt no matter how crappy it is.   Life is going to deal you some pretty crappy hands at times, so teach the kids to learn to deal with it.

I know this isn't about football but no one every goes to the section for band. 
 
THE LUMBERTON MIGHTY RAIDER BAND IS GOING TO STATE 

Johnson stayed in the game the whole time and was taking hits late in the third.  That made no sense to me.  He was still running and scrambling at that point.  He stayed in the 4th, but to only hand the ball off..  still would've benched him.  The grand scheme would be to get that backup some snaps. Look at how it worked for us.  Phoenix didn't get hardly any snaps this year and it showed..  in blowout games, you gotta get your star player out.  Faircloth would've been kicking himself in the rear end has something happened to Boy Wonder...

Here is the only stat that matters.
The ONLY one.
PN-G  44
PAM  36

Being that it's on a Thursday, I think we will get a good group of officials that will let the kids decide the out come of the game...

I completely understand and agree.  Officiating seems to have been an issue over the past few years (suffered by almost all of the teams at one point or another).  It is horrible when you suffer a loss and can pin point calls made (not at all or in your teams favor) and the outcome would have possibly been different. However; you also can review game tapes and find multiple mistakes your team could have capitalized or scored on a particular drive or situation that wouldn't have you leaning up against the ropes looking for someone to blame over a one or two score loss.  Much respect or PA.  They have a well coached team with many stand out athletes.  But they had many opportunities to put points on the board and come out with a win that would make this whole "bad officiating" excuse irreverent.

Thank you for service on a different note

This by far is the worst year I have ever seen the complaining, whining and blaming officials on this site. I had coach tell me one time, that if you let an official determine the outcome of the game then you didn't deserve to win because you didn't do enough during the game to give him that opportunity. I truly don't believe these grown men are cheating and making sure a certain team win. If you think that then  I think this is a different issue at hand and its not football. 

I believe this rash of bad officiating comes from the overall shortage of officials in Texas right now.  It's just that the ones we have are just the bottom of the barrel, I think...

SFA85 is the biggest racist crybaby on this board. Please educate yourself also on the LNVA canal and drainage. It does not start in Port Neches. 

One of the best games I have seen personally. The emotions were high and all over. I never hugged so many people and given so many high 5's in my life. It started like one big arse whooping....I thought that I had made the drive down from New Orleans to Port Neches just to see my brothers team get demolished. It was set up to be a blow out. As one man said who sat next to me "It's like they poured a bucket of grease on #25! We can't tackle him any time he touches the ball. It was the truth. Hines danced around, zoomed past, ran over (isn't he 160-170lbs!), and carried Indian defenders making everything look effortless. Our DBs were struggling. On many occasions they didn't even look for the ball. Simply just ran into the recievers drawing PI penalties. It was almost comical. By halftime it was 30-14. This is what I was afraid of. 
Then the 3rd quarter rolled around.....and something happened. The Indians defense, who still struggled to contain became much more aggressive. They went to their "Screw it" formation. I call it"Screw it" because nothing else was working and it looked liked the coach said "screw it" lol. You know, the one where they man up with all the WRs and blitz everyone else? Its essentially called a 0 coverage in the NFL and college because their is no safety help. Very easy to complete passes if you have time. But it started to work. Hines and Jones still did their things even with the blitz. Just too slippery. We got a couple stops though. They made tackles they were supposed to make finally at the most crucial point in the game. The credit goes to them for allowing only 6 points the rest of the way.
This game was familiar in a way to last year. I had said before in some post that if Memorial wants to win they will have to play 4 quarters. SEE ITS ONLY GARBAGE POINTS WHEN YOU LOSE. ITS CALLED A COMEBACK WHEN YOU WIN! You could have stopped them from scoring 44 points, thats usually how a team loses.
Preston Riggs is a monster. He has been running wide open and burning defenses for 2 years straight. Best reciever in the district and I'm saying SETX. Lil Jordy Nelson out there making people look foolish. What a game and to step up when the team needs him most. His dad was so hype and had to be proud of the way he stepped up. He threw two TD passes and caught two as well. What a player!
 
Roschon Johnson 12-24 164 yds 2 TD
21 carries, 124 yds 2 TD
1 rec. 43 yds 1 TD
What can I not say about Shug. Memorial bust him up pretty good. Sacks, hits, pressures, he got it all. There were plays were I wasn't sure he would even get back up. But he did every time. This PAM defense is one the best high school defenses I have witnessed personally. Speed all over the field. However he came to play. I can say personally that Shug is the type of kid that doesn't care about the score or time. He always feels like he can win. He has the mentality and the ability. Plain and simple.
To Kronos- Thank you for all your saltiness about this game. It does my heart well. Now its your turn to wait a year and think about all the things that could've happened. I'll be sure to remind you of it all. I BET IT HURT SEEING SHUG SCORE PASSING, RUSHING, AND RECIEVING! 2nd or 3rd best QB my arse! DID HE LOOK SLOW ON THE WAY TO THE END ZONE? I bet he did. From where I was sitting, he looked like a purple Gazelle.
To the few Nederland fans- Whose logic was we couldn't score on them (PAM) so yall probably wont either. Or I cant see yall putting over 30 on them. FOOLISHNESS! Yall don't have the Preston Riggs, Preston Hughes, or Shug. The end. See ya at MCM!
To everyone else-That was a great showing from both teams. I was proud of my hometown team and my adopted Indians for how they showed heart and resolve.
A wise man sitting next to me told me "We just need to weather the storm and things will be ok,." Turned out he was right.
 

You guys are amazing, the team is undefeated and just knocked off a ranked opponent as severe underdogs and you start a thread to bash the coaches. 
I'll tell ya what boys, once that QB graduates my guess is your current staff will be out of there on the first thing smoking to a different school that appreciates what they are capable of, and nobody could blame them.
When that day comes, you guys go ahead and take the reigns of the program, bring in a few other good ol' boys that know what it means to be an true indian!, put in the ol' wing T offense and have all the boys go both ways, slam 'em into each other for 3 hours a day to "get 'em tough". Congratulations, you will have become vidor, every now and then put together a decent run but for the more part your sitting at 5-5, 6-4 year in and year out
did it ever occur to you, that playing kids both ways requires that the offensive kids spend half of their time at practice working a defensive position? Which then means the offense would have to be dumbed down considerably. No more gadgets, no more qb and wr's in perfect sync, you'll be back to the days of 2 runs up the middle on 1st and 2nd, then an overthrown pass on third down, then bring out the punter.....
your current staff has put the most dynamic kids on offense to go with your superstar quarterback, then put a bunch of average athletes with a lot of heart on D and coached them well enough to shut down a bunch of D1 athletes in the 2nd half of that game Friday night, you should be having statues commissioned of those coaches, but instead your going to run them out of town before too long, different town/same story all over the state, nothing ever good enough for some I suppose

Stood on both sidelines tonight. Saw a great game up close. Many of those flags were legit. Probably could have called more on both sides.
IMO, better team won. Never thought I would see a team score 44 points against that Titan D.
Johnson is the real deal. PN-G receivers were better than Titan DB's. That and the Indian defense in 2nd half was the difference in the game.

Coach Faircloth has balls and they're made of steel.  Multiple 4th down conversions, multiple 2-point conversions, an onside kick, and challenging his players at the half to get up from the ground after being punched in the mouth by a physical PAM defense and to go make some plays.  All of that, and especially Roschon Johnson at QB = big time win for PN-G vs. a tough PAM team.  Where are all the HS fans that said PN-G would not score 30+ points on PAM?  Crickets?  Crickets?  The PN-G defense?  You say its garbage?  They made enough plays for the Indians to secure the W.  I'll take it.
Go Indians.  Peace.

Let the hate flow, let it flow. 

Scroll back to the 1st few pages when PAM was up 30-14 and see who was talking smack. Then scroll forward a few pages and see who was whining about the refs and such. Pot calling kettle black much??

Regardless of outcome.  Pretty impressive showing by the Indians against the Titan D.  

Kronos the last td yall scored the refs stopped the clock when u had no timeouts. I ain't hearing that. 

Typical response. Lol

I have seen the playcalling in the fourth quarter and I know that Faircloth gets quite conservative with just having RJ hand off the ball.  But I would still opt for somebody, anybody, to be out there aside from him.  While I don't necessarily agree with the language, pakronos is correct in that without RJ, the PN-G offense would have a MUCH more difficult time moving the ball.
He is just way too valuable of a commodity to have out there with a 40 point lead in the 4th quarter.
