end 1st
20-14 PA Memorial

That wasn't PAM's whole team.  They have 3 coming from football.  4 varsity players from last year's team come back and 2 of them play football.  I'm pretty sure McCain and Adam's won't use that as an excuse,  so adults using its makes no sense. Silsbee had 3 D1 talents on their team.  It's just 1 game, and the season has just started, no need for excuses from 1 game.  Memorial slowed the game down and locked down defensively.  They played to the advantage they had in size and kept Silsbee outside.

Its total respect between these kids.  These kids actually wanted a 409 cookout together to celebrate their state titles.  PAM HC did overreact because the Silsbee kid intentionally fouled a kid which is normal in basketball,  but tried to help him up.

Junior Lofton (6'4) is a junior and a lefty. Clover is (6'8) and right handed.

Yeah I" believe they will both do very well this year about halfway through district we should see both teams in full stride.

I will give it to PA.. great game..

Most of the penalties were on seniors. Sooner or later it's time to just play ball. On the other hand, the game is violent and rough, things are going to get heated. Doesn't make sense to throw a flag on words.  Those kids are battling  and tempers get the best of ALL the kids. They were QUICK on some flags for trash talk.

Third time to see Port Arthur in 2018.  Penalties, penalties, and more penalties.  No rhythm to the game for Port Arthur except for penalty flags.  Port Arthur coaching staff must get the personal foul penalties under control.  A team cannot give up four 15-yard PF penalties and win.  Two questions for the Port Arthur coaches: (1) Why abandon the run game?  Port Arthur hit the long ball early and gave up on a consistent run game.  #21 was getting to perimeter and he had several good runs.  Give him the ball.  You are on the road and you need to sustain drives. Even at 24-14, why give up the run game?  Did the OC not have a feel for the flow of the game?  Instead, was he determined to impose his game plan?  (2) Once NC went up 24-14, the intensity and enthusiasm left the Port Arthur sideline.  That is on the coaches.  You have to see that and then get your kids reinvested in the game.  The game was not over at 24-14.  It was noticeable.  Port Arthur lost focus and personal foul garbage started.  Credit to NC for a great game and taking Port Arthur out of its comfort zone.  NC QB was a smooth operator.  Defense was a bend and never break bunch.  Props to NC; they have some talent.  But, Port Arthur could have ---should have--- done more to give themselves a better shot at winning a tough road game.  Coaching staffs have learning curves.  Port Arthur should learn from this game.
Finally, my first trip to Texan Stadium in New Caney.  Nice facility.  Great stadium, easy access from Hwy 59, and good parking.  Well done, NCISD.

I really don't think any team would play the Titans that way hoping the QB would miss targets. With teams playing with the safety over the top, them boys still running open as hell. To play them 1 on 1 would be a mistake. The only adjustment I would make if I was the coach is to go run 1st, when he did that last night, the QB play got better. We keep forgetting these boys doing this playing in a new system with roughly 3 months of work. 30 days of spring, 2 weeks of practice with 1 scrimmage, then games. They probably won't play a complete game til almost the end of district, which would be perfect. 

Is it too early to bring this up?

True, but we'll see.  Hopefully he's ready, and if they lose, on to next year as always.  I like how the back up gets really good minutes, something Kam didnt get last yr, even in blowouts.   I know you're big supporter bro.

I knew YOU would, but the TEAM decides that. Lmao!!!

I've seen WOW throws and I've seen throws that were just off.  I've seen easy passes missed and a pass that probably no other kid in the district can make.  I've seen kids get offers off off 1 pass.  Ready to see what comes next.

Not so much excuses, it is what it is.  Kadon was being groomed to be the starting Mem qb from the time he was in 7th grade.  Going home with the head coach and being personally trained by the OC qb coach.  That's 5 yrs preparation before his senior yr.  That's apples to watermelons bro.  Jones was an linebacker playing an.  Ladia has the talent and arm, but inexperience is showing.  I remember the coach saying that.  That's facts, not excuses. Comparing the 2 ( 1 had 5 years of preparation and the other had a summer)  IMO

If averaging 35 pts while struggling offensively is bad, I'd take that. Lol. They scored 28 in 1qt.  The United game, literally over 20 bad snaps.  2 TDs taken away.  Worst home cooking officiating I ever seen. 1 Td dropped in the end zone.  Most teams lose by 3 tds.  PAM won.  I know you're looking for the second coming, but all the QBs you hate on are in college now or are going to be playing on Saturdays next yr. Smh
 

Memorial - Jamaal 
TJ - Kevin Everett 
Lincoln - ShanD
PNG - RJ

We will compete.  

I agree, but I don't think anyone is trying to down the players or coaches. Just speaking on what they're seeing. We all see the potential in this team, that 1st quarter gave us a peek at what they can be. I know I'm hungry for a whole view. I know they can play less than their best and finish 1st or 2nd in dist. 

This is a new offense to the kids.  I see a lot of hand signals and a few throws where the qb/wr weren't on the same page.  One thing I noticed is that the ball is spread around nicely.  5 kids have caught TD passes.  3 Rbs that can go.  2 that have rushing TDs.  Yeah, they will be firing on all cylinders come the end of the season.
