Kudos to you! You're doing a GREAT job with this, and its a lot of fun to play!

Thats GREAT...glad to hear the community came out to lend support.

The Reservation!!!

;D ;D ;D

My prayers and thoughts are with Kirby and his family at this time! God Bless!

Ok, that one CRACKED me up! ;D ;D ;D

Thanks for sharing! Good Post!

Agree!

Good post. Best of luck to the Bulldogs this year......! (Well, except for that one week....) Prayers with Kirby.

PNG did not show any "cockiness" toward BH. What I saw, was two teams with pre=game jitters, but ready to play. The PNG fans and the BH fans were very cordial toward each other. And yes, several BH fans told me after the game that PNG's stadium is probably the best stadium in the area.

Believe I'll have to go with the Wildcats on this one! Best of luck to both teams!

Since it appears that my post about "top notch coach" has been picked apart, let me clarify it, not that I have to. Faircloth has not been a HEAD coach as yet, but a damn good coach, hands down. Remember that when Faircloth was hired at PNG, it was for the AD/HC position.....given the motivation, time, and excitement he has brought to PNG (Booster club, objectives, etc), he's doing a GREAT job! The game Friday night WAS a preseason game, one which will be reviewed, combed over, and adjustments made, just like all the other teams in the district will do. I have never said that Faircloth is a "magician" or even that I believe that PNG will make the playoffs this year...but, as a dedicated Indian fan, it feels GREAT to see the excitement in and around the community...a large part due to the dedication and motivation of our HEAD Coach, Brandon Faircloth. As we continue each week, I think the Indians will come together under his leadership and we will see bigger and better things as the season progresses. Good luck to ALL the 20-4A teams for and injury free season.

18 out of 21 (86%) I'll take it! ;D

Pullin for the Broncos on this one. Take it to 'em!

BH defense was very good and will continue to improve. The QB is an excellent athlete! BH will be a force to be reckoned with in 19-4A.

I don't think Faircloth is holding back plays, but I think he is being selective with the plays he initiates to fit the situation. I'm not inside his head, so don't know. What i HAVE noticed is that Faircloth has definitely raised the level of fundamental football strategies with PNG. I think the game with BH was a good start of the season. A close game, to keep the boys focused. If it had been a blowout with PNG winning, sometimes the "big head" gets in the way of fundamentals. I do think we will see more plays coming from Faircloth as PNG continues to improve. You can't build a successful football program overnite, which is what Coach Faircloth is trying to do. PNG fans are excited to get away form the "run, run, pass, punt" style of offense and have very high expectations. I do as well, but with these expectations of Coach Faircloth, we still need to be "grounded" and realize that these are 16, 17, and 18 year olds out there playing their hearts out on Friday nights for our enjoyment and debate.

ouch Man, Ennis takin it to em!

For those interested, here is the live streaming link for Crosby vs. Ennis, being played tonite. [Hidden Content]

I agree, Penny. That is the "nature" of the game, getting a top notch coach, we as fans tend to think its magic. But we have to remember, its the players themselves, that determine the outcome. With that being said, I saw a lot of improved fundamentals last nite and it excited me. I think Faircloth is doing a good job and has brought excitement to the Reservation. You're not goind to build a program over night, and I think its unfair to Faircloth and the players to judge after the very first preseason game...but then, opinions do prevail. Best of luck to ALL the teams in our district! BTW, Kirby is in my prayers.

Thats an opinion that I don't think I would put in a forum.....things like that have a way to come back and bite you in the butt! Win/lose, we're all part of 20-4A. It seems turnovers were rampant all over the district last night...thats typical in preseason as the boys work out the jitters and continue to focus for district play.

I will wait until tomorrow to make a prediction. BUT, I think Faircloth will make the necessary adjustments this week with the Indians...but will wait and see how Merka fairs tonite before I make a prediciton.

#8-Dre Dunbar - PNG......ROCKS!

I beleive WOS will take this one, but not by as much as one would suspect. Crouch and Hooks know whats in each other's head and strategy. WOS -24 LCM -17

Thoughts and prayers go out to Kirby from this Indian. GREAT kid, GREAT athlete! God Bless You!
