It was a Fort Worth crew, SOC uses Dallas, it wasn't SOC's home chapter. Coach Todd said he agreed to the crew and he owned that, he admitted if he knew there was an official who worked in Port Neches he likely wouldn't have agreed to the crew (I wouldn't have either) thats not to say it automatically makes them a bad crew or a bad official but there's optics and its probably not fair to put him in that spot. Coach Todd did say he didnt agree w/the PI call and I wouldn't expect him to, its a close call that went against his team, no coach will be happy about it, its just the nature of the game

Probably shoulda been defensive holding, but still woulda resulted in 1/2 the distance and an automatic 1st down

They still are..they are the Mecca because of the late 60's/early 70s not now

I think it was more of a perfectly executed onside kick....not sure a lot of teams would have been ready for an onside there...it was a gamble and a great call by Coach Joseph but I dont think it was poor coaching from SOC

Full stop, I picked PNG to win because of the trenches and they were better team IMO, the bad DPI call shouldn't take away from their win

That was a pretty bad DPI...they let a LOT worse go both ways today and then how late the flag was....it was pretty bad IMO

That was a real gift DPI....didnt see much there

When they've run man they've really struggled

I've watched them all year, they've had issues in coverage not nearly as good on the back end as last year

They simply aren't near as good as they were last year...they can't cover as well in man IMO...been burned too many times

LOL

Danger zone for PNG here....that drop looms really large

SOC had zero first downs in the first half last week and still managed to be tied 10-10 lol

SOC's been a second half team all year, you could argue PNG outplayed them in the first half and they are still losing...thats concerning if I'm a PNG fan

Sophomore P5 talent is quite a bit different than senior P5 talent in terms of expeirence, big game execution etc....most of the SOC sophomores who are P5 guys are still behind seniors who are borderline FCS/D2 guys

SOC's not NEAR as loaded talent wise as they were a year ago...most of the P5 talent are underclassmen...

A great read from one of our young reporters Carter Yates [Hidden Content]

I believe they'll open the lots and stadium at 930....but cars will be lined up at each entrance waiting to get in

This is kind of my assesment, the defense for PNG 2023 is similar to 2022 if there is a step back its minimal but the offense is much better and explosive especially in the passing game

They definitely didnt run Bailey this week as much so something seemed off....the wind helped Westlake for sure because North Shore's biggest edge was on the outside w/their WR's vs Westlake's DBs was neutralized....

This SOC team isn't nearly as talented across the board as 2021/2022...the staff has done a really good job maximizing the talent of a good HS team...but that also IMO makes them much more vulnerable than last year.. If you are coming up for the first time there are plenty of nice hotel options in the area...if you find a hotel with a shuttle thats optimal...you can bring an empty water bottle into the stadium and they have water stations to fill water bottles if you are making a day (or two) of it and dont want to spend too much money at concessions etc... Live by Loews is the closest hotel and is connected to Texas Live...yes its pricy but it is very nice...across the street Lowes is being built but not ready yet....

North Shore's OL isn't bad...but I'd say they are WAY below what they have been....and I think thats played a big part in their inconsistency

No stream this week...Bally has the exclusive rights

Probably would have...good thing I dont bet on HS Football!

I've been told Pasadena ISD is allowing it this year...at least the last time I talked to 2 PISD coaches thats what they were led to believe
