Glad to see PNG in the top 5! Way to go, Indians!

Not true.....Lumberton got the same treatment three years ago. When a new face appears at the top of the rankings, people will question it. Vidor needs to be as good as the Pirate faithful are predicting they are, or the crow-eating will commence. ;D I believe Vidor will live up to their predictions this year. Best of luck to the Pirates!

Thanks, Coop!

I thought I heard that it will be streamed at noon. Thanks for the info!

Wasn't the PNG/Crosby game supposed to be streamed on the internet today? Though I heard that last nite.

Man, can't wait til Friday! Is it Friday yet?

“Our kids played hard,†said Faircloth. “They bounced back from last week after some difficulties. Our kids have a lot of heart. They had a great week of practice. We did things a lot better tonight. “We’re still not where we want to be, but we’re getting there. They’re willing to work. Any time you have a group of kids willing to work and put in the time and want to be good, then you’ve got the potential for a really good situation.†Coach Brandon Faircloth on PNG's win over Crosby

I was talking to a wide recievers dad, and he told me that at the parents meeting, that Faircloth said he WOULD be playing each and every player, and in different stiuations. Without sounding like a broken record, Faircloth is the "real" deal....a GREAT guy, who has a lot of heart and is ALL about the kids!

Thanks for the compliment. PNG is going to be tough this year. And you're right...the stadium is a sight to behold....totally awesome!

I've always felt that Vidor has not received the respect they deserve in our district. I feel Vidor will make the playoffs this year....a good solid team. Keep up the good work. Congrats on the win! ;D

I believe you're "dead on" with that prediction!

With all that said, congrats to WOS on the win! ;D

I believe the Indians will take this one. Faircloth will keep mixing things up on the offense, but I definitely think the defense is gonna have to step up this week. I've heard Tx City is a running team and has a lot of athletes. Glad we're playing at The Reservation!

Haven't seen 'em, but congrats to the Pirates!

I think each week we're going to have more surprises in Southeast Texas high school football. I am HOPING and PRAYING that we don't have a dang hurricane this year!

PNG, in my mind, is right on track. I think we will continue to see improvement from week to week, with Faircloth throwing in some surprise plays each and every week. Not going to say PNG will make the playoffs......yet, but definitely see that Faircloth has motivated these boys and is fine tuning their skills to be a definite force in our district.

Man, I ate it BAD last week with my picks! I know my percentage will be low! :'(

I think PNG has definitely improved over last week, but I also think Crosby looked confused much of the nite on the field. Doty/DeRon combination, with timing and patterns were lethal. Much improved! RB's were really good last nite. Faircloth mixed up the plays very well and kept Crosby guessing. The only thing that bothered me about PNG were the numerous holding calls. As for Crosby, Merka is thier only weapon, it appears. Great kid and QB,but he can't do it all. Kinda felt sorry for him in the second half. You could tell he was worn out, but kept playing with a lot of heart. I see the INDIANS continuing to improve from week to week. As last year, we were undefeated in preseason, but as soon as district rolled around, we imploded. Don't see this happening this year, but district play is going to be tough this year. A lot of good teams out there. Glad we have a "bi" week the week before we start district. All in all, I was very impressed with PNG. ;D

Agree...PNG will only get better!

I'm glad PNG didn't run up the score. Kinda felt sorry for Merka. He's the only weapon Crosby has. He came out in the second half, really worn down. The kid has heart. PNG.....had too many holding calls,but other than that, it felt good watching how Faircloth mixed up the plays. Some beautiful passes from Doty to DeRon, and Ross did a great job !

WAY TO GO, INDIANS!!!!

No PNG has never played a top ten caliber team. Ever. In all these years and all the long playoff runs, PNG has never played a high caliber program that has won several state titles in short periods. Like LaMarque (7 time state champ whom we have played a half dozen times or more and never taken it on the chin like Crosby just did) or like Stephenville (5 time state champ whom PNG gave their best game to in the State title game) or like 4A WOS (2 time state champ whom came up just short in a furious comeback to loose to Ennis in one of those state titles that you mentioned and PNG has played some great games with over the years) or teams like Plano and Permian. Need I go on? I am going to guess you are a young man with very little knowledge of HS football history, thus you get a pass on the above statement. So loosing to anyone like you guys did against Ennis, there is absolutely no way you can put a positive spin on it! Good Luck this Friday and from all of us at the Reservation we wish you and all Cougar fans the safest of possible trips over and back! PNG 31-Crosby 21 Good Post!

The Barbers Hill vs. PNG was a sloppy played game on both sides of the ball.
