PNG Proud

He kept it until he got to the sideline I think.  
My grandson was one of the 5 guys on that OSK, (not #24). He says that they ran that OSK probably 75 times that week.  I was thinking that was probably a little teenage hyperbole going on, but I don't know. They had 4 practices, since it was a Saturday game, and if they ran it, say, 10 or 12 times each day, then that's ~50 times. Anyway, who's counting. That's a nice tribute video. 

Pick 6 and safeties the difference in the game

Watching SOC on YouTube.  The RB #21 Green is quick and elusive.  Yikes.  Not the biggest guy, but he can take a pop and bounce off tacklers.  PN-G has seen some good RBs this season, but I don't think the Indians have seen anyone with his combination of quickness, vision, and the ability to slip away from tacklers.  The SOC QB #18 reminds me of PN-G's #9...cool under pressure and making the right reads and throws.  #18 can sling it.  SOC defense is fast at all three levels, but I think PN-G's OL will be able to create some running lanes.  The game will come down to PN-G stopping the run and PN-G winning some one-on-one battles in the passing game when SOC loads the box.  Stopping the run is easier said than done.  SOC has some DUDES on the OL and #21 zips right through their lanes.  They are playing well.  Glad PN-G has a shot to play the last 5A-DII game of the year and taking a shot at the defending champs.  We've got a shot...what more can you ask for?  Should be a good game.  Tip of the cap to SOC coaching staff...they lost 11 scholarship kids from last season and they are back at the top, in the state championship.  Impressive.
P.S.  One more thing.  No turnovers this year.  The Indians need to hold on to the ball.  No safeties this year.

Gonna be a helluva game!!!  It will be won or lost in the trenches. Can PNG stop the dynamic running attack of SOC? Can PNGs o-line keep SOC d line pushed back enough to open gaps for Nguyen and Chatangier?  Can PNG secondary stop SOC? Can PNG receivers win the one on one battles that SOC loading the box is going to create? Can PNG line hold up against the rush that is going to be coming on passing downs?  I can't wait to find out the answers to these questions!!!!  GO PNG!!!!

Multiple coin tosses take place.  A home or home coin toss never happened, so he couldn’t pick to play in Austin.  He got to pick between stadiums near the halfway point, and purposefully chose to play at a smaller stadium.  Defend him all you want, but he is the reason PNG was buying up tickets on their side.  

Told ya so........

There's no upsets at this point of the playoffs. 

Confirmed that NRG Parking Gates will open at 5pm tomorrow.  Stadium at 6pm.  per NRG Secretary of Information.

Oh it makes me smile EVERY time I see it. 😁 Just ask @BMTSoulja1 

Really excited for this game.  The last NRG game I saw was Huntsville-Manvel in 2018.  Not sure the Hornets can stay with PNG though. The defense has been playing really well but that PNG O-Line will be a challenge.  Hornets will probably need some turnovers to have a chance.  Also, can’t let PNG get a 2 score lead.  If they can keep it a low scoring slugfest, then they may have a chance to steal one.  Huntsville has played a very challenging schedule.  The last 6 games have been tough opponents and 3 of the non district games were too.  So I think they are prepared and can hopefully stay in this one.  Regardless, it has been a successful season getting to Round 4 for the Hornets.  

Thank you so much for posting that, I forgot about the bounce off another player, that is one of the best all time highlights of PNG football history ☺️

I've really enjoyed your trips down memory lane. Are you prepping your round 5 story? 

@BMTSoulja1 remember this?😁
 

Idk who runs NDN press but they need to give ESPN a few pointers. Broadcast is A1

The coaches are definitely legit stratigist for sure. Very happy with how things have been going here at PNG. Been saying forever D wins championships. Although we haven't won it all, it sure is nice to get the chance. I ain't griping!

PN-G did everything it needed to do to stifle the SOC offense in the first half. SOC changed the gameplan in the second half and started throwing the ball around a lot more.  Remember, up to that point in the season, SOC fielded a rush-heavy offense that hadn't been forced into the passing game very often. Any time PN-G tried to adjust to SOC's newfound passing game, SOC would go right back to running the ball. It was good coaching by SOC to keep the PN-G defense off balance and it worked.
With the amount of talent SOC brought to the table, every coach in the state would be hard-pressed to find a way to make fourth quarter adjustments for that move.

No one should be questioning and suggest anything the PNG coaches doing. Whatever they are doing is just fine.. only 1 thing you need to do this time of the year, just win. 

I have seen 58 seasons of PNG Football.  Coaches are not perfect.  Everyone has opinions on what "could have been" done better.  We are winning.  We are getting the job done on both sides of the ball.  That is all a fan can ask for in Indian Football life.  As my Dad would say "...opinions are like armpits, everybody has a couple & most of them stink!!!."🤪

Looks like they're already hard to beat! They're in the fourth round, again and looking to get to AT&T, again! I'd say whatever they're doing is working! 

Considering we have won 8 playoff games in less than 2 years, I would say Coach McCrary has done exactly what needs to be done on a weekly basis.

The zip he puts on the ball and accuracy is hard to intercept. Hell of a sophomore. Ice in his veins.

A lot of times a play that will not work is setting up a play that will work. 

Pulling for you Indians.  If we can't be there then ya'll are next best thing. 
Defense wins championships.  I heard that somewhere before.
 

Newton pulling for the I N D I A N S. 

And btw @NDNation I voted Huntsville in the poll per your request😁. I'll be picking PNG in my pickems on Friday afternoon though 🫨 Happy Pest Controlling, Hornets are kinda fierce, I blame it on the atmosphere they come from. 😁
