PNG fans booing the Nederland school song. That's Classy!

Vidor should win this game. I don't think Lumberton can slow down the Pirate's rushing attack. Should be an exciting, high scoring game. Good Luck to both teams!

Someone put an add on here yesterday for the "magic pill" but the thread got deleted. Hopefully Neumann got to order his before the thread was taken down.

Dumb play by the kid, but Why did the coach have two players back on the FG attempt? That loss is the coaches fault. Its hard to blame 18 year old kids for getting excited. [Hidden Content],193475

Dayton @ Houston North Forest LCM @ Central Livingston @ Ozen Vidor @ Lumberton Nederland @ PNG Silsbee @ Jasper WOS @ Brookshire Royal Cleveland @ Liberty Hardin @ Anahuac Buna @ Kountze Deweyville @ EC Colmesneil @ West Hardin Evadale @ Hull Daisetta Diboll @ Nach Barbers Hill @ Kingwood Park Coldspring @ Shepard Goose Creek Mem @ Crosby Galena Park YJ @ Houston CE King Splendora @ Huffman Burkeville @ High Island

That pretty much sums it up. Oh and the WOS posters keep saying everyone hates them.

I've been getting text messages all week that play that dang song. I'm tired of hearing it already and the game hasn't even started yet. I will say that Cherokee is by far the best fight song I've heard in high school sports.(just don't tell anyone I said that)

Livingston by 3 TD's

Some facts about Nederland's offense: Power I - 11 straight playoff appearances when only 2, then 3 teams made it from every district. Spread - In their 3rd year in this offense the Dogs have 1 playoff appearance. They now take 4 teams! I guess going to the playoffs every year wasn't good enough, so we changed the offense and now go every 3 years.

I agree about the quantity. Nederland has 4 or 5 kids that go both ways most of the time, and a few others that see some action on both sides. PN-G has 0.

I'd disagree with this completely....the spread can take advantage of whatever you have....size or speed...it puts players in more 1 on 1 matchups. Now if you're going to line up and run the I or the wishbone then it's much more dependent on having big linemen that can dominate the line of scrimmage....hence MUCH more dependent on your personnel. Bill Walsh "created" the west coast offense while in Cincy under Paul Brown to address their inability to run the football because they didn't have the personnel to do it. As for your defense, I still have no idea how what offense you're running impacts the way you play defense?? If your defense sucks while you run the spread it will ALSO suck when you run the I formation. I agree with that to a point. The offense can help the defense by controlling the clock. There have been multiple games in the last few years when the defense was on the field around 75% of the time. If your defense is fresh in the 4Th quarter they will play better, I don't care what offense you run. Too many times this year the defense makes a stop and the Offense goes 3 & out or commits a turnover. In a game last year, the defense made a stop and the offense got the ball back with 3 minutes to go in the game and a 7 point lead. After 3 straight incompletions, 14 seconds were burnt off the clock. That is not a spread problem, its a play calling problem. Against Ozen, Nederland only allowed 10 points in regulation. That should be good enough to win most games. If the offense can hold onto the ball and control the clock with a good running game, the defense will be fine.
