  3. 15 Year Old Team

    in SETXsports Archived Threads

    Posted

    The 15's were eliminated yesterday in the semi-final game against B-Wood.  The 14's are in the championship game today.  I don't many of the 14's but here is a list of the 15's:

    Chase Balsamo
    Sam Smith
    Cody Credeaur
    Jonathon Breuer
    Vaughn Campbell
    Ryan Houston
    Aaron Sampere
    Zack Taylor
    Brandon Self
    Bryce Whaley
    Coby Couron
    Anthony Harrington

    They are a great group of boys.  They played their hearts out and left it all on the field.  Let me say how proud I am of them.  They won with honor and lost with dignity.  I have never been more proud of a group of 15-year-old kids.  Taunts were hurled from the other dugout during several games.  Our boys laughed and had a good time about it and shut the other team up on the field.  When that couldn't be done...they laughed, had a good time cheering, packed up and came home.

    Proud of these fine Nederland/PNG boys

    Please don't let this thread turn into a PNG/Nederland thing.  This will be my son's third year playing at NBR and we are from Groves.  All in good fun, we have swapped some "who is better" stuff with my friends at Nederland, but truth be told, it was the coaches from NBR that gave him the opportunity to shine in a way that the coaches that have known him all of his life never did.  Playing on the all star team last year, my son proudly wore his purple underarmour shirt under his gold Nederland all star shirt.  Of course, he also wears his all star shirt to school when it is Nederland Nerd day. 

    There are pro's and con's to both leagues, so choose whatever league you like, but please don't make up your mind just because one is Port Neches Senior and one is Nederland Babe Ruth.

    [size=12pt][color=purple][font=Comic Sans MS][/font][/color][/size] Even though you guys came up a little short of your goal, we couldn't be prouder of you if you had won the state championship!  This 2009 team will forever be known as the team that brought Pride, Honor, and Tradition back to the Reservation.  Good luck to the seniors.  What you have learned (how to win graciously AND lose with class) will take you far in life.  To the coaches that moved here, I hope you are settling in, cause we don't intend to let you go any time soon.  To the coaches that were already here, great job adapting to the new coach and we love you too!

    Ok, now let's get ready for some basketball, baseball, softball, track, academic, and whatever other victories we can get!  Football and volleyball started us off right this year.  Let's keep the pride and winning tradition going!

  24. Improved QB makes PN-G tough to beat

    Improved QB makes PN-G tough to beat
    By CHRISTOPHER DABE

    Risky passes thrown to receivers covered by more than one defender got replaced by safe throws out of bounds. An instinct to run from the first bit of pressure got replaced with an ability to stay calm.

    Game by game, Port Neches-Groves football player Brennan Doty has shown progress by making smarter decisions when passing. Doty is a first-year varsity quarterback whose newfound calmness makes PN-G the toughest team from Southeast Texas to beat in the playoffs.

    "He got thrown into the wolves and made his mistakes and learned from it," said first-year PN-G head coach Brandon Faircloth, who has watched his signal-caller mature through the course of an undefeated 10-game regular season.

    The Indians open the Class 4A Division II playoffs tonight against Barbers Hill at Baytown's Stallworth Stadium. Barbers Hill is the team PN-G beat in the regular season opener, a 21-20 victory in which an admittedly nervous Doty threw two interceptions in his first-ever varsity game.

    The belief among PN-G coaches and players is that a more-experienced Doty makes the team tougher to beat. He may still throw an occasional interception, but he also plays the position well enough to have completed more than 20 passes apiece to three receivers.

    That's a balance not struck by many high school quarterbacks.

    Faircloth credits Doty for developing the understanding that it is better to throw a pass out of bounds instead of trying to force a throw to a well-covered receiver.

    "Anybody that's competitive wants to make plays with the football, and it takes a mature football player to recognize when there's not a chance to make a play and throw the ball away and regroup and go to second down," Faircloth said. "We're still OK on second down. We don't mind it."

    Teammates said Doty's calmness is noticed in practice and games.

    "He would kind of throw the ball up sometimes early in the year," said senior receiver Kyler Segura. "Then he got smart and would run out of the pocket and throw it out of bounds. He's getting a lot better with that."

    Doty's improved decision making can be proven statistically by tracking his completion percentage, Faircloth said. Doty completed 46.9 percent of passes with four touchdowns and six interceptions in PN-G's first four games. He since has completed 63.9 percent of passes with nine touchdowns and three interceptions in the last six games.

    Doty points to his performance Oct. 2 against Nederland as a turning point. He tallied season highs in completions (19), attempts (29), yards (286) and touchdowns (three) with no interceptions in PN-G's 23-7 victory. That game came one week after Doty's low point, a three-interception game against Little Cypress-Mauriceville.

    Doty has thrown 81 of his 120 completions to a trio of receivers, 33 to Blake Reyenga, 27 to Spencer DeRon and 21 to Segura.

    The offense is designed by Faircloth and created to give Doty multiple passing options on each play. Doty and several receivers spent three to four hours most days during the summer perfecting route running and timing with passes, he said.

    The variety and balance struck by Doty causes opposing defenders to maintain coverage of PN-G receivers down field, which opens paths for senior running back Caleb Harmon, whose 1,607 rushing yards rank third on the school's single-season record list.

    The more yards Harmon can chew, the longer PN-G keeps possession of the ball. And the longer PN-G keeps the ball, the fewer chances opponents have to inflate PN-G's District 20-4A best 13.8 points allowed average, making PN-G rather tough to beat.



    [color=purple][font=Comic Sans MS][size=12pt]It looks like PNG's first year quarterback has gotten significantly better over the weeks!  Go de-feather some eagles Indians.  Eagle feathers look great on totem poles!![/size][/font][/color]
