Y'all will have a game plan in place.  Your staff has the capability to make on the fly adjustments.  If you do these, you'll win.  Just don't let Krautz get in the open field or he'll outrun your linebackers......

Dogs may over look our running tandem of Cropper and Runnels.....

Beaumont is home of the pros, and Nederland is home to a team that's known year in and year out to be competitive. So Beaumont creates good players that go pro, while Nederland creates good teams that win games each and every year??  From your post that's what it looks like to me! Are we rooting for our teams to do good, or for individual players?

Well looks like the rest of the D did a good job of pulling together and picking up the slack. Almost every tackle yall had I saw about 5 or 6 white helmets around the ball carrier. Very good pursuit, and that's what can put a stop to a good running game.

Why is it that every time Nederland beats Central or Ozen, it's always because Central and Ozen got "out coached"?  The reason Nederland won both of those game is because Nederland has better high school FOOTBALL PLAYERS!!!  And a better football team!!!!  End of story.  

No one is putting down any young man that goes on to play college ball or even better to make it to the pros, but this is not about that, we are talking about Friday night lights...high school football, It's about a Nederland team that beat a Central team, it was a complete team effort with a super effort from Austin K. Soulja you shouldn't be so hard on your linebacker he probably has a faster 40 than Austin does anyway.

Exactly! If Central quit then that means the only reason y'all won is because they quit...
i would retract that statement if I was him

If Central quit, then is Nederland even good or were they given the game.
Dog poster might want to take that back...looks better if the team won because it was a hard fought game on both sides.

RG, I see us winning 3 out of the 4 last games which should get us in to the playoffs. It's highly possible we could pull off all 4 games but I don't want to go there yet. Playoffs should be PNG, Nederland, Lumberton and Central not necessarily in that order.

I can agree with you there!

In my opinion they are scouts for a reason and know what to look for. Being a good D1 recruit and being a good High School football player are two different things. And the difference is speed and size. Because in D1 it's the best of the best. Just because someone can outrun a high school defense doesn't mean they would have a chance of doing that in college.
For example, Cody Hussey in 2007 was the best high school running back I've ever watched... But he was undersized and didn't get any big time offers that I know of and ended up playing for Lamar. Still something to be proud of! But it goes to show that you've got to be big, fast, and strong to play D1...

Good points made.. Our pass rush, or lack of actually, was the most upsetting thing.. The last thing you want to do when playing against an awesome quarterback is not get pressure on him... Was Morse even touched the whole night?? Key injuries definitely hurt us.. Still a chance to make the playoffs and that's what we need to focus on getting to!!

I saw hard nosed football players last night.  I saw no Primadonnas on either side.  Where did you see these at?

I can't disagree with you but they do make mistakes. For example the kid from Nederland that went to UT. I think his last name was Johnson. He had the size and speed but didn't workout, Tony Brown is another that comes to mind. The kid was top ranked just based on his 40 speed but the kid can't tackle. I'm sure there is several more that fall under that same situation.  It has to be a tough job to be a recruit but when the ones that don't workout they can look at there coach and say he ran a 4.4 and has size. Perhaps that's what keeps there jobs. 

Sounds great! We can even set up lunch for y'all at the wonderful Lercy's or terrific Al T's. We can show y'all film, and maybe even get y'all some sideline passes for practice! Even with all that, I would still give an ice cube a better chance of making it through hell, than y'all beating EC. 
Sincerely,
EC ( 1st seed)

says a lot about PNG qb to come out and throw a pick on his first pass, and then step up and have a game like he did. That kid is really good! Didn't really help us that their receivers were wide open all game though, but in the end he made a lot of good throws..
 
if if lumbertons would have capitalized on turnovers then we could have had a better chance. And of course we gotta learn how to catch too, a dropped td pass doesn't help either! Good game PNG!
 

Congrats Lumberton for a hard fought game you made us earn it great performance by the Indians played good football

Proud to be a huge fan of a team that NEVER gives up! They fought to the end! Love my boys

Rhodes is a beast.....
 

I went to this game and sit with several Indians fans and many Vidor players. A nice group of Indian players were there as well. Here is my honest assesment.
1 Lumberton played very fundmentally sound football. The blocking very good.
2 Central was very much more athletic than Lumberton. (Bigger, larger, and faster).
3 Central made many mistakes. Flags at crucial times.
4 Lumberton played above themselves all evening.
5 Why did Central not run Whaley more?
6 Central has a very big line a very good back. The Qb's passing skills is a underdeveloped. 
7 Central should have won this game by a large margin but when you have a team as Lumberton was today who played very sound football it makes every mistake you make magnified 10 fold. My assesment is that Lumberton is a very good coached football team playing inspired football, but was undermanned against a Central team loaded with athletes. All that being said it took a shot at the end of the game  to put the scrappy Lumberton team away. If anyone sleeps on Lumberton the very well could loose. 

Stadium holds about 9K. Attendance is expected to be over 10K. Should be a great night for football under the Friday Night Lights! . I pray for safe travels for the fans and an injury-free game for the players. Good luck to both teams. 

Breaking out my all-red tomorrow, aint did that since playoff time last November, should be a playoff type atmosphere in Lumberton. 

That was probably the best game/ending I've ever seen.. I still get chills when I watch the highlight video that they gave us that year!
