I say move it to Saturday. Safer, more fun for everyone. But I’m not in charge.

good on him - linebacker play has been excellent this year. I figured he’d be involved with the receivers

I watched some highlights recently from a 2016 game. It’s crazy how poorly PNG was tackling, compared to this year.

You mean Nederland-Vidor, right?

Last year Nederland was weak and PNG was better than predicted (and I think better than Nederland), and Nederland came back from a double-digit deficit to win. This year, PNG is better than last year, and Nederland got worse. So, Nederland by 50, probably, since that’s how this rivalry works.

Point taken, but even in 2010 Nederland fielded a good team. Nothing great playoffs-wise, but they were competent. And I agree that in the stretch of Nederland being “the team to beat” in our district from 2011-2015, the 2010 team is the year that the arrow started ticking up. But even if the 2010 team had some weaknesses, it certainly never suffered from the morale problems that seem to be going on right now. They even beat PNG (who, that year, had an at-least temporarily D1 qb, one of the top 3 RBs based on yardage in the state, and went to the 3rd round only to lose to Manvel). So if 2010 is a “weak” Nederland team, this one’s got some real issues.

Trap game?

How is Huntsville looking this year? They have been solid the last several years.

If Dayton plays defense and doesn’t make any big mistakes, they can be the one to take out FBM. Their offense is better than ours, and FBm isn’t the juggernaut on offense they used to be. So if Dayton can keep it close they can do it

Offense is worrisome. We can score, but the play calling feels stiff and predictable. When we needed to sustain drives to preserve the lead we couldn’t do it. Glad we put one together at the end, of course. Prosperie’s diving catch was incredible. Dayton had an amazing catch earlier in the game, but that one from Prosperie to get us down the field when we most needed it was clutch. Hope he can get some college offers .

Dayton looks awesome

I have to think Dayton beats TC now.

haven’t seen quite such an evenly matched game in a long time. Dayton seemed like the better team through big chunks of this one. This was one of those “see it all” games : Crazy good plays from both sides, heroic individual efforts, key mistakes from both sides. A great game. Hats off to Dayton.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a game this good. Hate to see either team lose

Prosperie with a beautiful diving catch.

Well, let’s see if PNg can make a score happen when it matters

What was that play calling in png’s last drive?

Dayton found a pass for Td

Yeah it’s refreshing

Dayton almost can’t throw now. Png is all over the receivers.

Dayton is still playing well. We keep letting them hang around. This could still come down to the last play.

Great play for another png interception.

At this rate, I’m ok with field goals. But wish png could get some touchdowns out of these red zone visits. What is this, 3 trips within the 10 for a total of 6 points?

Png defense showing up better right now

Dayton’s d line is good
