4-0 after 5

Here’s what the field looked like this morning 

It has been a pleasure to watch such a fine young man at QB the last couple of years. He is about as smart and humble as they come. You have to appreciate a young man that age taking care of business without ever saying “look at me”. 

Probably the dumbest post ever. 

If png  (which would have to have alot more talent than it has now) was playing and lost in the state championship game, people would still be calling for faircloths head. It's never ending, unfortunately with some Monday morning quarterbacks. 

Prayers for that family.  

Watched College Station vs Georgetown game...PNG has enough offensive fire power to match and beat College Station with the correct defensive game plan to slow down the Cougars offense. .Limit your turnovers PNG in a mild upset...

Crosby gave up more points than anyone else in the District, including Caney Creek.     Take PNG.  

Haha ok - I was speaking more to the idea that Memorial is a generally strong team with a solid defense and a good offense. They have the tools and are good enough to make a deep run, at least on paper (setting aside for the moment the struggles with organization on offense, tendency toward penalties, inconsistent passing, and generally sub-par coaching, i.e., I'm not a fan of Coach Harrison). But I didn't even check who they would have to beat to get past the fourth round. I think PAM can make it to the fourth round -- Would they have to play Temple in the 3rd? Maybe they can't even get past the third. But they definitely can't beat Manvel. 
All of that being said, when a team has the pieces to be explosive, anything can happen. I'm thinking about 2011 when Ozen, who barely squeaked into the playoffs, made it to the fourth round, surprising all of us. So even though Manvel more than likely beats PAM every time, who knows? 

When you drop down from 6A saying your gonna kill everyone, and you barely squeak by a victory over two teams, and you get beat by PNG and have to SETTLE for second place in district, now that’s mediocre... Round 4? Shouldn’t y’all be winning state?

Football takes a toll on your body and it doesn't get easier at the college level. I agree a lot of kids are perfectly fine with being great high school players and then moving on with their life. 

I saw him outrun the PAM defense. He's pretty fast.

Where's all the talk about how bad PNGs defense is tonight they've given up 0 points so far

According to defensive team stats they really aren’t that horrible. You’ve got to take info consideration that the offense scores so quickly and easily, which means the defense is on the field more. 
No participation trophies are given out in high school football. Doesn’t matter how long you’ve been playing/starting before varsity, the better players will play. Don’t like it? Work harder, get better, and beat the younger guy in front of you out! 

Yes, Coach Faircloth puts an emphasis on offense.  It's no surprise.  His background includes stops at Odessa Permian, Highland Park, and Austin Westlake as an offensive coordinator, QB coach, run game coordinator, passing game coordinator, etc.
Not true that the PN-G defense is just thrown together.   Depending upon the talent pool, which isn't overflowing in Port Neches and Groves, he identifies leaders and tries to build around them, e.g., Rembert, LeJeune, Anniboli, Bost, and LeBoeuf.  Those kids were not/are not "just thrown together with the players left after the offense is stacked." 
The Indians have some young talent on defense.  A few SOPHs that should develop into a strong unit this year and over the next two years.  We bend and try not to break on defense.  Keep everything in front of you, don't get beat deep on the big play, and put as many people around the ball as possible.  That's the philosophy of Coach Faircloth on defense.  Each kid is taught to do his job and get to the football.  We've given up some yards, but we've made some stops.  We're only giving up, on average, ~20 points/game, which isn't too bad.  PAM gave up 44 points last week and they have what most experts/posters on this board have called a "legit" defense or "one of the best they've seen."  PN-G has some talent on defense.  Bost, LeBoeuf, Ayala, and Hammonds.  The tall, lanky SOPH #90 and some of the DBs should keep developing.  Each Friday night under the bright lights is an opportunity for them to get better.  They aren't too bad for a group "just thrown together."
Do any of you ever go to PN-G Booster Club meetings or do you ever speak with Coach Faircloth or Coach Templin?  They might not have meetings this year because of the compressed scheduled, but I'm asking about the past, too.  Several people post on this message board pretending to know what they're talking about, but do you ever speak to the men coaching the Indians?
Go Indians.  Peace.

You guys are amazing, the team is undefeated and just knocked off a ranked opponent as severe underdogs and you start a thread to bash the coaches. 
I'll tell ya what boys, once that QB graduates my guess is your current staff will be out of there on the first thing smoking to a different school that appreciates what they are capable of, and nobody could blame them.
When that day comes, you guys go ahead and take the reigns of the program, bring in a few other good ol' boys that know what it means to be an true indian!, put in the ol' wing T offense and have all the boys go both ways, slam 'em into each other for 3 hours a day to "get 'em tough". Congratulations, you will have become vidor, every now and then put together a decent run but for the more part your sitting at 5-5, 6-4 year in and year out
did it ever occur to you, that playing kids both ways requires that the offensive kids spend half of their time at practice working a defensive position? Which then means the offense would have to be dumbed down considerably. No more gadgets, no more qb and wr's in perfect sync, you'll be back to the days of 2 runs up the middle on 1st and 2nd, then an overthrown pass on third down, then bring out the punter.....
your current staff has put the most dynamic kids on offense to go with your superstar quarterback, then put a bunch of average athletes with a lot of heart on D and coached them well enough to shut down a bunch of D1 athletes in the 2nd half of that game Friday night, you should be having statues commissioned of those coaches, but instead your going to run them out of town before too long, different town/same story all over the state, nothing ever good enough for some I suppose

You hit the nail on the head Reagan. Two years in a row PAM ran through our pregame warm up talking garbage. Last year at the 50 and this year in the end zone. This year a coach was actually following the team and did not discourage this activity.  Xbox was on the field pouting all game and then a coach throws himself onto the turf pouting. Grown ups lead by example and we wonder why discipline and penalties cost PAM the game.

Really? 
Then you explain to me the play before the end of the half when Pam is out of timeouts near the goal line. Pam coaches storm the field, where they stayed all night, the Ref stops the clock and goes to talk to the Pam coach. 
What good reason was there to stop the clock? 
Did the Titans have a timeout? NO
Was a player injured? NO
Was their an official timeout for ball placement? Or chain measurement? NO AND NO
I'll wait for your answer... Maybe there is some reason beyond referee incompetence or "gaming the clock" that I don't know of

PNG always has a lot of respect for Vidor. As always, it will be a hard-fought game, with the Indians coming away with the “W”.  
PNG      49
Vidor      24

do you need a hankey to wipe away those tears PAK lol, Man get over it your Titans got outcoached plain and simple. Jump on the vidor train, then the central train, then the ozen train, then the Ned train. PAM gave it their best shot and fell up short. Vidors defense wont stop PNG , RJ to Riggs, Riggs to RJ , you just wont know who is going to throw a td pass lol it was a great game you just came up short by spiking the ball on 4th down, talk about getting caught up in the moment. Hell of a finish.

I think the bad tackling had more to do with poor angles and the speed/shiftiness of Hines. PN-G seemed a step late and found themselves reaching for instead of driving thru the runner. Vidor wont present that type of speed problem but I know they are going to get their yards.
