the weasel

Again picking the Indians.  Their strength of schedule and being battle tested proved on point last week.  Kids were never phased throughout a high scoring back and forth TD Game.  With that being said, going with a 38-28 Indian Victory.  Scalp Em!

Barbers Hill. You were very much in doubt of making the playoffs. The team gel and then did the unthinkable and knocked of the number 2 team in the state. You then turned around and was a couple of plays from beating another top ranked region 3 team. What an incredible season and one that makes the entire district 12-5a proud. Love what you guys accomplished this season. We look forward to your support for the last two teams standing. I really believe that all season we were talking bad about our district because we are all beating up on each other and the reason for that is that we may have been better than we thought with a reeal state champion contender in Crosby. You guys did your part to make sure our district was put on the map. PNG has a tall task next week and we make no bones about it, We had the same tall order this past week. That is why we play the games. 12 5a has become one of the better district in the state this season. Barbers Hill you made us PROUD I take my hat of to you. 

 

Well said and Congrats on a great season!

Cole Crippen in the two playoff games this season\

40 of 52 for (76.9% comp %) 639 yards and 8 Tds

This is unheard of....Totally put the team on his back when Koby Trahan went down!

To be honest, I did not have a specific team in mind that would lose. Crosby is a clear favorite, thought the battle of Texas was going to be a close 50/50 defensive game, and thought A&M was a slight favorite but didnt know bc BH just beat FBM. For me PNG vs Montgomery is the least exciting game so I did not pay much attention. Thats why I thought 3-1 at best. Its great PNG made it to Thanksgiving but ultimately I dont think the winner of this game really makes an impact in R3. 

Ok Aledo that Isa fair statement.  But don't underestimate a team that is peaking at the right time...You know there is ALWAYS a Cinderella story in Texas High School Football Playoffs!  This PNG team has had to believe in each other since day 1.  Nobody else gave them a fighting chance to even get out of the toughest district in 5A Football.  We will see next Friday!!

Well Well Well....I called it!  Aledo jump in here!! I am sure you were picking us as the 1 loss in our district!  I said 49 - 35 Indians!  Missed it by 1 TD...  You missed it completely!

And who you think loses?

Well...after a full week to look at all angles.  I am going with strength of schedule between these two.  PNG has played in a Gauntlet of a District and all 4 are still standing.  I think there is a good chance all 4 are still standing after this week!  Going with my Indians who are peaking at the right time on both sides of the ball!  Indians on top and move on!!  Good luck to Crosby, BH and Texas City

Don't forget their Defense has to stop our Offense as well...  Seems they have a hard time doing so and we are no 5th place team in District that just put up 45 on them.

Actually, just checked and it was the 7th place team that hung 45 on them.

Absurd, my view of them before and after Crosby is the same team with mid range athletes and a good coaching staff. 
 

Did you see what Crosby’s O-Line did to that defense? What Jones did to that defense. Jones is a good back, Crosby has a good O-line. 
 

Montgomery’s O-line and Running back are even better than Crosby’s. This is a mismatch and I hope the ndns pull this one out but I simply don’t see it.

Only way Indians win this one is by scoring on 90% of their drives. 

Keep Underestimating Them....

Call us crazy!

Congrats to BH and the rest of our District!  All win next week and it will bea District 12 Final Four! How awesome would that be....

PNG Defense is playing solid!!!

Let's Go BH!!

When you have to play all 4 qtrs you tend to run up stats to be the district rushing leader.  Some players on other teams are done at the half in a lot of games and trying to stay healthy for next week.  Just a thought.  Sounds like you’re a little salty.

Not at all.  Stating Facts.  Pretty sure all of BH's starters were in when Koby Trahan ran for a 99 yard TD.  Don't even try to take away from the year this kid has had.  Broke 2 All Time Records at PNG.  One for that run another for 365 yards against KP.  That was another record broken at PNG which has stood for 50 years.

Actually, the only teams to score in the 40's was Crosby and TC.  Also, might want to check their Offensive Points Per Game! Nobody in District but Crosby stopped this offense.  Football is about who scores more than the other team if you didn't know.  So bang on their defense all you want, however 3rd Seed Earned. Have to win the games you are supposed to and Ned did not do so at KP.  KP is a better team than most people give them credit for.  Good luck to all on the playoffs representing our district.

One last point... might want to check who the District Rushing Leader is when talking about the RB Position...Also earned!!

The ONLY reason PNG is in the playoffs and didn’t finish 5th is because KP beat Ned. PNG would’ve been out in a three way tie-breaker. What are you talking about you were underestimated, you played exactly how you were predicted? 
 

The only position group on the entire field PNG is better than Ned at is QB and maybe you can say RB depending where Fuselier plays. PNG gave up 44.3ppg in district play to everybody not named Santa Fe. What exactly am I supposed to be checking?

Nah bro, Nederland has more talent than PNG at every position group on the field other than QB and RB. PNG has less talent than KP this year. You’re right though, Ned had the 3rd or 4th most talent in the district and finished in a clear cut 6th. 

Not even close to true.... This entire PNG team has been underestimated from Day 1 when picked to finish 5th.  Gave up 24 pts to Nederland Defensively, loss due to 2 Defensive TDs.  Beat Barbers Hill Handily and scored 48 in doing so! Scored 42 on Texas City where Nederland and Barbers Hill scored a combine 9 pts against them.  Only and Only Crosby was too much for this Indian "Team".  Plenty of talent at all positions...which is why a 3rd place finish and a playoff berth is the reward.  Check yourself...

Bad news for the dawgs. I expect no complaints from Ned fans come Friday. 

Well...Was waiting for this to be posted.  Rest players...I don't think so!  Just Wow!!!

The Wheelhouse on the water!

Is it really “throwing” a game ?  Might just want to give the starters a rest before playoffs start. They have already clinched the #1 seed. 

After Nederland put the smack down on Crosby last year and et them know about it!!!..I hardly doubt Crosby would rest their starters! Come on Man!

Good luck versus Fort Bend Marshall, I mean it too. 🤷🏾‍♂️😎

Still have a chance for the 3 seed if TC beats Barbers Hill next week.

Earned it !  

Your ridiculous if you don't give credit where credit is due.  Indians played their rear ends off and most everyone on this thread gave them no chance!  Congrats to Texas City but 42 pts on their great Defense is something for PNG to hang their hats on moving into the playoffs!

Overtime...
