100% fact!

My takeaways from watching from mid second quarter(got there late). Typical scrimmage with lots of rotation of players. Both teams won due to the quality of each team (the whole point of a scrimmage). WOS looked a little larger than normal up front. DB’s look typical WOS speed but we’re out of position many times against the pass. Great to see many “pearl” helmets making plays to try and earn that Silver helmet. Haven’t seen #45 before but played well at linebacker for WOS. Tyrone throws one of the most beautiful passes I’ve ever seen but the timing is off which led to a couple INT’s. That will get fixed. Running game needs some work but I believe that was mostly the blocking up front. PNG has some big kids up front. They always do but that could be a huge plus for them this season. RJ is nasty as that’s the first time I’ve seen him in person. Passes the “real deal” eye test. On his scramble for a TD run once he got past the LB’s it was like he hit the turbo button, the kid is lightning fast!! I look forward to following him and the NDN’s for the season. PNG could have a very special team this year, they are fast at all positions. Their D looked great even though they rotated out many players and rightfully so due to it being a scrimmage. All in all, I believe it ended up showing 2 things.....PNG looks like they will make a lot of noise in 5A and WOS, although young, looks to be pretty dang salty. Once again, it’s just a scrimmage but I liked what I saw.....minus the blocking and pass timing for WOS(which will be corrected) and look forward to following both teams on a long season. 

No need to get him hurt it's all Texas Longhorns now. 

Initial thoughts going into the season, which are probably 50% wrong anyway:
1) Top Tier - Barbers Hill, Crosby, Nederland, Port Neches-Groves
2) Middle of the Pack - Dayton and Vidor
3) Bottom Rung - Baytown Lee and Santa Fe
***(Each listed in alphabetical order)
 
Vidor will sneak one past one of the teams in the top tier because that's what they seem to do. Dayton could easily be a top 4 team with Nations bringing in former Dayton OC/Groveton HFC Crauss back into the fold to call plays. Maybe they capture lighting in a bottle from their mid/late 2000s runs...? Westerberg gained a transfer at QB, which one could argue was BHs undoing last year in district play due to injuries. PNG will go as far as their QB will take them, and Nederland will do what they always do.
I don't see Lee or Santa Fe making legitimate threats to any of the other 6 teams in the district. 

I think you just said it right there. A full season plus a full slate of playoff games and the most you PASS for is 2100 yards and 22 tds. Thats worse than Roschons sophomore year. Heard rushes for 2000 but he also played in more games to get to 2000. Roschon avgs 1600 just going 3 rounds deep. Roschon doesnt remotely have the team to go to state, (PNG just dont have it anymore) but if you gave him 3 more games to do it Roschon would definitely have 2000 rush yds.  Roschons worst passing season was already better the Jerrods by nearly 900 yds. 2000 and 2000 QB or a 3000 and 1600 QB.
Heard was a higher nationally ranked product though. Think he was just that explosive and I saw him at the camps back then. Did very well for himself. Just didnt work out

Heard was an athlete playing QB, Johnosn is a QB who happens to be an Athlete.

That's for damn sure. 

Guess you could.  But it would be pretty foolish comparing Heard to Johnson in terms of quarterbacking abilities.  

You noticed none of the pics posted had RJ in any of them. Hook'em

It’s easy to say that the new basketball team will compete at State year in and year out. But remember the same thing was said when Lincoln and TJ merged (yes I know SFA is included). They didn’t exactly dominate in the state’s highest classification. The new school will be like West Brook. A Small 6A competing against huge numbers. I wish them the best, but it won’t be easy in any sport.

Heard Jimbo was on campus today. Don't believe a word he said. 
Hook'em!

Congrats BigBro!!

Not in Herman's offense. Prototype QB.

If you’re a big time QB, you better graduate early and be on campus in the Spring. Just the way things are done these days.
I am ready for him to be on the 40 Acres today. 

Again, PN-G's graduation policy is currently rumor.  It probably only seems that way because I doubt that many folks aside from Roschon Johnson have even given thought to graduating early from PN-G.  Remember, the phenoma of football playing seniors graduating early to attend Spring practice at the college of their choosing is a relatively new one.
So new that there are not many athletes at PN-G that have had the opportunity to graduate early.

Congrats BigBro!!

I will give a little insight for the board. It might help, or it might blur your vision. But its just the basic facts. I will start with a key word. CULTURE... 
So my thoughts are this. Without using anyones names or screenames.....
After watching the SC games on TV. One thing popped in my head. Defense. Everyone was playing it, even the 5A game where the Jones kid took over. Its a different style of football. We see it at W.O.S., and Newton, but its not around at most of the other schools.
I had a convo with an individual talking about what it took to become a team like that, and the question was, without great athletes, how are some of these teams doing it. That key word came out...
Back when P.N.G. had that key word, not only would you see kids practicing year round on the offensive side, but you would see kids in the parking lots pushing cars, trucks, running stands, form tackling, weight lifting, running, eating healthy. As Danny Malone would say, it was, that key word....
Alot of things get overhyped sometimes. Head coaches, D Coordinators, etc.. But players win games under coaching direction. So it takes both. Notice I said players. It does not have to be the best talent around.. Its a mixture of both.
So anyone on here can make the assumption if your team is doing the above things now, or if they are on break until next football season.
I think we all know the work ethic of some, now is that passed down to the rest?
Final statement. It does not matter if your married to a local famous last name, or if you ran a football league, if your a local dentist, a former football coach, a former administrator, or a long time member.... If you get a bad rap for an ordeal like this, well guess what.... Its back to the grind....
And for the record, give me RoJo over anyone I seen in those SC games. As I stated to a individual, you can have Tisdale.... 
I wish RoJo the best of luck wherever he plays the game of football throughout his entire career. And since I know his family well, I know they will make the right decision on his future.

If this is true it was probably suppose to be on the DL and got leaked like most secrets. They might still be waiting on a final decision from PNG, if they will allow him to graduate early.

What people never take into consideration is that coaches also teach!  The majority of them also coach more than one sport.  That takes them away from their families and their workload is unreal.  Granted, AD/HC's are paid administrators.  Most of them ALSO have to take care of the junior high personnel.  Yes, there may be a campus coordinator, but they answer to the AD.  AD oversees all athletic programs, attends most every game in every sport, works 12 months, and is pretty much on call 24/7.  Teachers do not make enough PERIOD, but to compare their salary to a coach, HC/AD is apples and oranges.  Until you are closely associated to the coaching profession, it is hard to comprehend.  

I think what he is trying to get to is that its going to be nice for Lumberton to play with schools closer to its enrollment instead of schools 400-900 more students then them. I get it, trying to even the playing field to make it fair for everyone.

Bingo, couldn't have said it better myself. Used way to much and as sad as this is I catch myself wishing he wouldn't play next year and get ready for UT Football.
