Where is the evidence that Lumberton has a "decent" D? Lumberton has played one full game against a school with less than 600 kids (and isn't WO-S), a school that is a perennial bottom feeder in its own classification. PNG already has shown the ability to make stops against good backs when it matters, so I don't know what indications exist that PNG won't stop Lumberton's run game. There isn't a Calvin Tyler playing for Lumberton, and even if there was, we would be okay. Lumberton may be better than recent years -- Maybe even better than last year. But Lumberton is unproven, and history is not on its side (Lumberton is 1-16 against PNG all time, and that one victory was in a year where PNG went 3-6).
Think about that-- At Lumberton's best (2008), they managed to beat one of PNG's worst by a mere seven points. 
Statistics don't win games, but they are at least an interesting indicator of potential future outcomes. In the series, PNG has outscored Lumberton 656-238. PNG averages 38.6 ppg against Lumberton. Lumberton averages 14. Last year, when Lumberton finally looked like it might be turning a corner, PNG scored easily and often. 
Lumberton will have to stop PNG's QB, running back, receivers, and o-line, all of whom have demonstrable ability to produce. Lumberton also has to somehow overpower a PNG defensive line that has been fairly successful against much faster backs than what Lumberton has waiting in the stables. I'll admit, I haven't seen Lumberton play, but I did get a chance to see PNG against WO-S in August (scrimmage) -- PNG can hang with the run. 
It may be a good game -- It might also be incredibly boring.

I don't see this one as close as everyone else. I hope am wrong, but not buying into last weeks win by Vidor. Central easily takes this one by 35-7. 

Gotta admit, this is a good one. LOL

Haha thanks -- Believe me, I won't be "brown nosing" when PNG plays PA. 

My only caution is that texaslive.com has gone pay per view.  The subscription is not that expensive, but there is one.

Png continuously scoring on GCM tonight might make your head hurt worse. 

Oh Geesh....

Enjoy the site.

An honor to meet you Mr. Buddy Garrity -- I'm a long time reader of the forum.

Yes

I'm gonna watch the stream via texanlive.com. If there is an alternative I would like to know

I got your boy.  I was just talking to someone today about your kind, computer warriors.  No I wasn't a water boy, I just wasn't a dumb jock which apparently you were and still are.  Feel free to come see me at any practice evening at 88 Jaguar Dr.  I'll be the guy in the blue nomex shirt... 
The last part of your run on sentence once again really shows how little you know about football.  Just because you may have played, doesn't mean you know the game...
 

Bingo.  If you're a PNG fan, I don't know how you could even be close to confident going into MCM.  And believe me, you will NOT see last night's Nederland team then.  You can count on them being MUCH improved.  
We will see how impressive the two wins tonight were as the season rolls on.  I know Silsbee has spent the summer giving those Stangs bulletin board material.  That one will be interesting to say the least. 

COngrats to Roschon and you guys in his family.. He had a stellar game. Amazing thinking he is only starting his first varsity game as a sophmore. He has a very high ceiling.

I think the QB and wr's could work on some things, and they will...  With Barnes being a great talent, it's hard to just not throw to him all the time...  I think if the qb can throw with success to other players and/or look off receivers the passing game will be more potent.  

Don't count Nederland out. This happens just about every year (though not with such a lopsided score): Nederland loses a game, or two, or three, and PNG fans start licking their chops. It's stupid. Coach Neumann uses these games to be instructive experiences. I am no fan of Nederland, but it takes a great coach to know how to put his team in a humble-pie situation and then turn it into a learning experience that translates into district championships. Maybe Nederland will be good this year. Maybe they won't. But a lopsided PNG win against Silsbee on the same night that Nederland got ripped into by a great WO-S team means absolutely nothing when Mid-County Madness comes. We all remember 2014 when PNG had all the pieces in place, while Nederland started the season 0-3. It was supposed to be our year. And we all remember losing a heartbreaker to what I believe was an inferior team, overall. None of it mattered when it came time to play the game. Nederland will be fine. I wouldn't be surprised if they beat PNG again this year. In any case, nothing that happened tonight will have any bearing whatsoever. Go Indians, but let's keep things in a proper perspective. That being said, I am very excited for what Roschon Johnson, his offense, and that Land Shark defense were able to do tonight. Hope they keep it up.
