I feel our district is definitely getting better.....lots of talent, better coaching, etc.

You are right....the INDIANS will be back and celebrating that new stadium...I can't wait!

Seems very possible at this point. If there is a rematch, would be nice for it to be played at Lamar!

Raiders take this one! Lumberton 28 Waller 21

I honestly think our guys could have beat LC. We dominated the first quarter with our running game, but then, changed up and started passing. Should have kept the running game, wore down LC's defense, kept lil Rodgers off the field.....can't figure why the coaches would change something that was working for us. Added to this, when you have to play against the refs as well , its impossible. Seemed like to me that when LC had a good lead, only then, did the refs make calls against them. I mean, late in the fourth quarter, they called unsportmanslike conduct on LC, what , 3 times. LC had the game won, and then started all these cheap shots at PNG, go figure, unsportmanslike conduct from the winning team. Now, I admit, some of the play calling from the PNG coaches was ridiculus, but it just seemed like EVERYTIME our defense stopped little Rodgers, like the refs got mad or something, and threw flags. Our offense didn't have a chance with these guys. For the first time EVER, I heard PNG fans, altogether, booing these guys. Honestly, the officiating was so bad. Iknow a lot of posters gonna think aw, this is whining or whatever, but unless you were there to see what was happening, please keep your silence. LC took a lot of "cheap" shots that were never called, and the intentional grounding, have no idea where that came from. Also, so many times LC defenders created pass interference that was never called....I agree, if our guys looked crosseyed, they got a flag. It was pitiful, the officiating....just pitiful.

WAY TO GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAY TO GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAY TO GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

C'mon Raiders, lets go!

We all know that stats, computer projections, etc. don't mean squat on any given Friday night in high school football! The team that wants it the most, has the most heart and can capitalize on errors will win! Man, lets pull together for our district teams in the playoffs instead of trying to continue to rip each other apart....we're ALL on one team now.....!

Chickens don't like to run when they get wet, they tend to hover in a corner under a shed when its wet and raining.....LOL ! I feel good about this game....as someone said, the weather is an equalizer, not that PNG would need it anyway. I feel our Defense will wear Rodgers down. Had a friend that went to the Dickinson game, he said they basically don't have a balanced offense, mainly run, and their defense isn't that strong, and should not be able to stop Hemmings. If PNG comes out and plays LC the way they did GP, we should come away with the win, easily. Will be a good game, but have a gut feeling, PNG will come out with the Win and there'll be a lot of crow eating come Sunday morning. Matt Burnett has been in this playoff position before where just about everyone had counted PNG out and PNG went out, played their hearts heart, brought the upset and earned the respect, and came away with the win. Scalp 'em, Indians, Scalp 'em! Scalp 'em, NDN's!

Lumberton should take this one. Lumberton 17 LaMarque 14 Go Raiders!

What was the result from last year?

I think it is going to be tough to make predictions this week. Seems like in the second round there are always upsets as well as surprises. Best of Luck to all the teams!

Pretty cool computer. I agree, I bet it didn't take into account that Indian Pride and ALL those PNG fans that will be showing up. I watched couple of the game films of LC, feel like our "D" will stop Rodgers and looking at the films, looks like LC has a problem stopping the run. We will definitely have to have our "A" game there, but have been in this situation many times before in the playoffs and have prevailed. Whatever the outcome, you can bet that the winner will have earned it! PNG 21 LC 17

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, AS MUCH AS YOU WANT IT TO, WILL NOT HAPPEN! PNG WILL TAKE THIS ONE!!!

Good Luck, Eagles!

Agree!

I disagree. I think this year has given Lumberton a lot of momentum and motivation for the future. Credeur has worked hard, knows what it takes to get a team to the playoffs, added to this, I have NEVER seen the outpouring of fans like I have this year with the Lumberton fans. I know a lot of folks don't take that much stock in fans, but I do. PNG has a HUGE fan base and yes, they are instrumental in getting the Indians pumped and ready for each game. I see Lumberton fans the same way....they love their Raiders and will be ther for them. I honestly think this year is a turning point for the Raiders.....they'll be back again next year! Go Raiders ! Scalp 'em Indians!

Raiders gonna take this one! Go Raiders!

I agree, almost EVERY week PNG has been the underdog and posters are always counting the Indians out, but yet, we prevail. I know our Defense is solid and you can bet that Burnett will have them in top notch form this week to shut Rodgers down. I feel that if we get our running game clickin, keep our offense on the field to eat up the clock and then let our "D" do the superb job they've been doing, PNG will come away with the win. Not underestimating Rodgers at all, but he can be beat and PNG is the team to do it. Anything can and WILL happen on any given Friday night in high school football, especially in the playoffs! Scalp 'em, Indians! BTW, I think it IS suppose to rain or at least be wet this weekend

Thanks, just found that out. Would've been nice :-\ Still planning to go Friday night to see Lumberton!

Not sure who will walk away with the "W". Sure hope its Dayton! Go Broncos!

Going this morning to buy my tickets for the PNG/LC game Saturday. Been reading and see that Lumberton/LaMarque playing same day, same stadium. Maybe I missed it, but I can't seem to nail down the game times for each game. Does anyone know? I would like to make it to both games. It seems PNG has the late game and Lumberton has the early, I could be wrong. I've read PNG starts at 6, then another post says 7, also saw a post that says Lumberton starts at 6. Any info would be a lot of help. Thanks.
