I agree with you 100% but it’s not going to happen. I watched just about every state game of 5A and 6A. Every school had a least 1 kid playing both ways. One team, can’t remember which one, had a kid that played receiver and corner. He had two TD’s receiving and two picks on D. If those teams can do it and play more games and play for State there is no excuse why PNG can’t except that Fairclothe won’t let it happen because more parents would b__ch about their kids not playing. This is one of the reasons why. Not playing kids both ways means there is 22 spots open for 22 kids. Welcome to PNG where little Johnny doesn’t even know how to put his pads on right but deserves playing time because mommy demands it or she will go to the superintendent.

Go Get'em Crosby!

What defense does is give the ball back to the offense with more opportunities to score.

Shea Adams, Freshman QB this year is great.  This group of Freshman boys are big, strong & fast.  Offense will be OK.  Let's get a new Defensive Coordinator on Varsity, then at least some adjustments will be made when defense can't stop another team's offense & the defensive boys will be coached on defense properly.  Not just position, but reaction.

PNG would need to pull out all the stops and go full Danny Malone on them to even have a prayer.  The defense just isn't there to stop this team.  My suggestion?  Go for it on every fourth down.  Onside kick every single time.  install a triple option play and 15 other trick plays and pray for a miracle.  What do you have to lose?  Go Indians. 

Agreed. Nothing to lose. You can't play a normal game against a team where your normal game isn't going to cut it. So go full Harlem Globetrotters. Onside kicks, fake punts, 4th down attempts, you name it. 

By The Way!!!
 Since we are on this thread about playoff games THIS year!!!
FBM 75 PNG 13 
Somewhere in that range.

Wow, much like the Nederland Fans annual celebration has gone since Doug Ethridge retired back in 1983. 
Total Mid County Madness Dominance during his reign as Head Coach.

When will it ever end... I'm an African-American man myself but I may be one of the few that believe all lives matter no matter how the media portrays some people doing senseless acts we can only pray about it now

Nederland get back to your own thread. We are not that  good, but we beat y’all!! Cry till next year. Larry is gone!!! Back to the game in hand. PNG has 3 ways of winning. 1. Is COVID. 2. Is IPad scandal for a forfeit from other team. Or 3. The world gets shut down. My prediction is 74-6 FB. This will not be much of a contest. Track meet one way, disaster the other. As I have posted all year. We played for the 4th spot and got it. One and done. Don’t be mad at me for the truth. I do not have our defensive stats, but I can only imagine what we give up per game... Sorry Rah Rahs....

1990s PNG Kicker ran out on the field for a field goal attempt as clock is running out on the first half.  Holder kneels down, kicker arrives, when all of a sudden the kicker throws his arms up & starts yelling at the sideline because he forgot his field goal tee. He sprints back to sideline.  The ball is snapped to holder & kicker turns upfield. Pass to the endzone, holder to kicker for touchdown.  The Academy Award goes to...

The freshman are a decent group. Not on the same level as the sophomore group at that stage. But combined they have potential in the next couple of years. They need a true defensive coordinator to fulfill that potential.

It appears the coaching mentality is watch the guy in front of you and see what he does. Not a real good strategy. I hate to talk bad about a coach, but numbers do not lie. And changing scheme and players week in and week out isn’t advantageous. Hell maybe we should put em in goal line defense every play. One would assume a New DC would be in order. Next year will be a super struggle. Lack of offense, to go with our defense, spells.. Heartache. IMO a QB needs to be found. If not, it will be a long season next year. On the bright side, we beat Nederland!!!!!!

Even a great QB can’t do it all.   Football is still a team sport.  Based on the “Points Against”, I don’t think Bost is the problem.   Even Roschon would have trouble winning when opponents are throwing up big points on you.   
Just an outsider’s opinion.

It’s mind boggling to me that a PNG vs Santa Fe thread is 3 pages long.   Normally this game wouldn’t be post worthy.   Hate to see PNG in this condition.   Times have changed.   To paraphrase Simon & Garfunkel, Where have you gone Coach Etheridge, two towns turn their lonely eyes to you.

When you insist on running a 3 man front with 2 linebackers that might weigh 170 pounds you need to be checked. Teams run up the middle on us at will but we will still litter the field with DB's. 

PNG must move athletes around, go both ways if you need to & most importantly GET A DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR WHO WILL MAKE SOME KIND OF ADJUSTMENTS!!!  Otherwise, keeping only stellar athletes on offense will not benefit you over an entire season.  This PNG team has to be able to occasionally stop other offenses from scoring!!!

lol...Leeroy ain't getting under my skin...I was actually just poking some fun at him a bit and trying to get under his.
one thing we can agree on is the best of luck to our local teams that are fortunate enough to make the post season...let's play a few weeks after the regular season and have make some memories along the way

Indian Victory, Indian Loss at Indian Stadium  (Wow, that's a lot of Indians!!!)

And a lot more forced turnovers by the PNG defense against the other team, in one game.  Let's continue there.

Even one punt would be nice. Maybe one in the first and one in the second🤣

The last opportunity Crosby had to finish as undefeated district champions was 2017. We were 9-0 and heavily favored and lost at home to New Caney 63-38. More impactful part was that loss dropping us into the D2 #2 seed which set up the 72-69 loss to PNG in bi-district. 
 
Nederland always matches up well with Crosby. They usually have just enough personnel wise and play at that slower pace that seems to complicate things for the Cougars. Crosby has been the best team in 12-5A-D2 all year and has a chance to finish off their most impressive run through district play that I can remember. Ned is trying to prove they’re the best team in the district at the end of the year. This is exactly where both teams were hoping to be when the season started. 

I just want three punts in one game from the other team. Let's start there.
