Funny thing is that PNG will come back down from their 3 yr high after next season and PAM will still be doin what its doing now.  Nederland will still own mid county as they did this yr even

with the star qb.

Hay y'all had the game in y'all hands just know y'all got beat up front that's it take it or leave it better chance next year naw not seeing that either with RJ coming back

PAM will be just as good or better next yr.  They probably won't have another Hines, but they'll have a legit running back.  Wrs will be better and more experienced, and a QB that can really sling it. Most of the starters on D are Jrs, so they'll be solid once again plus lots of talent on JV.  Just hope they have an opportunity to play each other again with this realignment.

Jones was still in the game going into the 4th qt of a game that was a blowout in the 1st quarter.  Lmao!!

The kid from WB is likely a better overall athlete and will be recruited as such.  

 

RJ is a better QB.  Wasn't that the premise of the question?

Elia a better athlete??  I thought the same thing when comparing Roschon to Keitha Jones.  I haven't seen Elia up close this yr, but that kid at PNG can play any position also.  I'm a true believer now. Lol. He is the truth.

I love this. This is great.

Oh, my bad.  The holding was on sided. Lol. Ever notice when the penalties really started.  That has nothing to do with your brother being a hell of a qb or Riggs being the best WR in the district.  The video is irrefutable.  Not my opinion, just fact. Like I said on a post before, you can make that call damn near on every play. Js

Ther was holding on both sides. Trust me.  Lol. I made it my business to pay close attention to the PNG Oline and as I thought, they couldn't block McMillan and Calvin clean most of the night.  I've also been told the the video says the same.  People lie, its hard to deny video.

Penalties played a roll.  Not saying that was the main factor in the game, but the 1st half play calling was totally different than the 2nd half.  We proved that our pass game was effective early and for whatever reason went away from it.  As I stated before, the pass opens up the run and that's what we saw in the 1st half.  We went back to forcing the run in the second half.  The dbs were playing 10 yards off all night and we didn't utilize those receivers properly imo, plus they were playing man D.  My last point pertains to the penalties again.  You can't tell me with D line we have, the PNG Oline didn't hold.  Take any bias out of the equation and ask yourself if you think #9 and #1 for Memorial didn't get held all night. I know refs can call penalties on EVERY single play in high school football on both sides.

Who can play QB at the next level?  Who will be moved to another position. I say Johnson 100% plays under center, not sure about Elia.

If PAM can show any sign of a decent pass game, that will open up so much space for Hines, Martin and Jones to work and be successful with the run game.  One dimensional football won't work against good defensive teams. Jones needs a little more space to be the dynamic player he can be.  He can throw the deep ball a few times and that will open up the middle just a little.

Just mean talent  would be watered down. #26 has a touchdown this season. I'd like to  see #20 returning  kicks and punts.

Exactly.  #20 Has not played and #26 prob has 2 or 3 catches in 4 games. #18, #19, #89 can all go.  #19 had an amazing catch against Central.  I'm just saying, Memorial could/should have a COMPLETE offense, but if this works against teams just as talented in the playoffs, I'm all for it, but I doubt it.

I hear #20 is a beast of a runner.

Heard they were going to run him and Martin so Hines gets more rest for the playoffs.  I've seen him out there but haven't seen him play yet.  Have no idea what happened.  He looked good in the scrimmages.  Stuff like this makes you wish they had left TJ and Lincoln alone.  #20 is a he'll of a runber, #17 has the best arm in the district, the big TE #26 hasn't touched the ball, only 1 receiver is being utilized.

A team with very little talent plays a team loaded like PAM, and have a chance to win the game, and you say we should have done better?

Very little talent??  I saw a good strong running back, a huge receiver that was open all day and a good defense.   Sometimes its just toughness.

The games are the way they are because you're on dimensional on offense. Against decent defenses, Mem poses no legitimate threat throwing the ball so the Def loads the box and beats up the runners.  Throwing against trash teams is one thing, against decent D's are another, and they just won't against good defenses.  Lumberton does not have a good secondary and we were scared to throw the ball, so it honestly makes sense to run Vidor's offense.

If Jones  can just hit the wide open receiver  he'll be fine.  Defense is the biggest key to a victory.

Easier said than done.  Jones and Hines won't last the season like this.  You do have a whole team to utilize.

That's what I'm thinking. If you remember correctly, it was clearly stated that if RJ were to be playing for PAM then he would be back up right now. 

And even back then I questioned if Jones would be able to make the transition from receiver to qb and I was assured that he would be the best in the area.

IDK, I haven't seen him play so I can't judge. I'm just kinda confused at this point since they are already wanting to pull the plug on him. 

I think its the fact that the backup probably has the best arm (that's no exxageration) in the area and you have a qb that pretty much wants to run the ball.  If Ladia wasn't in the equation, it would be a different story.  

Imo, Jones and Ladia are a better version of the 2 WBrook Qbs.  Taking nothing away from those 2, but if its done right, you can have a spectacular offense at PAM.  

I've seen enough to know the Titans have the best or 2nd best receiving core in the area.  We'll see sooner or later.

I agree. What I also think is that if anything affected Keitha passing ability it's waiting this late into his high school career to have him take meaningful varsity snaps. To me that has may have a bigger affect than the storm layoff. Many other top qbs across the southeast and southern parts of the state had layoffs and performed well. Keitha can do it, just got to perform. And again if it don't work Ladia is right there

Ladia will be in the same situation.  No meaningful snaps this far.  The perfect situation is having a passing QB and moving Jones to the slot so he can make plays in space or on D which is where he'll play in college.  If a Qb runs the ball 17 times, he's more of a running back.  You have to keep the defense honest, and by forcing the run, we saw some of the worst football in awhile  in the 2nd and 3rd qts.  Honestly their is no way an arm talent like Ladia shouldn't be getting meaningful snaps.

The D line looks good.  Boys were nasty.

PAM looking damn good in those highlights. Nice RB's and QB looks athletic. Should be another good year for the Titans.

That's 2 different QBs in that video. Keitha Jones Jr is the starter.  The video didn't show his 2 highlight runs.  BIG TIME plays.  Michael Vick like. One of, if not the most athletic player in the area. 

One misstep on defense that resulted in a long run for a touchdown but outside of that, PAM dominated on D, especially up front.  

Offense scored with big runs by all 3 RBs.  

PAM looks good on both sides of the ball.  Def is A1.  Offense can and will be dynamic when they get clicking. Jones will be electric running the ball and he can throw it also.  His backup, Ladia, is a prototype QB.  Great arm and size, played well also.  Of course standout RB Hines did his thing, but two other RBs played very well also. Like really well, Martin and Dorsey.  Score would have been out of hand if a few catches for yes weren't dropped and a couple of tea over thrown.  Receiving core is young, I heard, but looked nice.  I saw 2 huge tight ends. 

I'll say it now.  I saw them practice tonight.  PAM will go 10-0.  The games have to be played, but I like what I saw.

Any words on how the Titans looked today.

Most def will be an exciting season!!

I was looking at video from 2012. 2017 is going to be fun to watch.  Keitha is a spitting image of Singleton at qb and we will have the most dynamic running back in the Setx. Lol. It would be nice the see Ladia's arm on display at some point, but this will be an exciting season.
