Rain could affect this one tonight!

Let's hope Ned has gotten over the turn over bug, and protects the ball tonight.

LCM's pass happy offense may face some roadblocks if the weather gets too bad

Should be a wet and wild night lol

Maybe where you played ball

But in my experiences, coaches have always preached getting north and south, get upfield, go score, or something along those lines. I'm not trying to start a knockdown dragout over some high school kids haves or have nots. I think he is a tremendous athlete, and if given the oppurtunity and proper timing, will make favorable contributions.

No hostility from my end Baker, just honest opinions and experiences from a has been.

Doesn't matter if you way 105 or 255, every skilled position player is taught to get north and south. Quickest way between two points is a straight line.

Now, I'm not asking him to truck anybody, but I'm sure he can get upfield and make somethin happen.

I've got the Dogs 20 - LCM 14

Never said it was a stone fact, just the opinion of some.

If we can simplify the offense for the time being, minimize penalties and turnovers, and control the clock, we'll have a better chance of winning the game

Its the opinion of many that when a team switches to a spread type offense, the demeanor of the team begins to change. The players become finesse and lose that killer instinct.

Now given there are the Southlakes and UTs of the world but they are few a far between.

I agree with yall have to say, but will take it a step further. I am a huge fan of the spread offense, but you have to have the personnel to run it. I think its in the best interest of nederland to scrap it for now. Simplify the offense to give Atterberry the best chance to win. I, Pro, Twin tights, Ace, I really don't care. He needs to be under center, handing the ball off and chewing the clock.

Murphy's Law is in effect

Was told that nederland may actually come out in a pro-style set offense. Whether that's a combination of lovelady and Cardenas remains to be seen, but it should take the strain off of Atterberry If he makes the start

Don't know If "loaded" is the correct word, but they are deep at QB. Some teams wish they had that problem, If it is indeed a problem.

If the team's leaders can step it up and go beyond the call of duty, Nederland should be competitive

Man... Sounds like it was quite a game!

Who stoodout for lumberton?

Hats off to both teams for a hard fought game. Sounds like it was a thriller

What's Friendswood's record? How've they looked so far this season?

20-16 High Island over Legacy

Hard fought game by both teams during sloppy conditions.

If the D can step up their run defense and the offense can rally around Smith, I think nederland will be just fine

Gonna be a good one at the Corral, always is. Just seems that in the past when so many pick against nederland to win it, they somehow find a way to pull it out (02 and 03 for example). Still will be close, nobody runs off on this one.

Nederland 20 - WOS 17

What exactly is the injury situation for both teams? Significant or temporary injuries? Key or role players?

Just curious lol

I'm sure that B. Spell expects Brady to step up an take over the roll of the Go To WR, but like what's been said, only time will tell.

I think that this district is wide open. There isn't really an odds on favorite this year. Some schools (Ned, Vidor, and Lumb) have a good core of players returning. Others have new coaches and possible new found sense of self.

Should be interesting and I can't wait to see what happens.

A) Oregon's uniforms are legit

I thought he was goin for the TCU uni look. I know the helmets have it, but I was expecting more of the TCU Black and Purple thing goin on... IMO

If a team plays a weak non-district and pads their wins a bit but then loses almost every game in district, how does that help the coach?

That has happened in 20-4A a few times and it seems even recently. Winning a couple of non-district games then the winning one or no games in district does nothing for the coach. Playing tough non-district opponents and then going to the playoffs keeps jobs, not the total number of W's at the end of the season.

In 2005 Nederland went 1-2 in preseason. Their losses were to West Orange and Westbrook. Then Nederland went two games deep in the playoffs with only a 6-4 team. In 2006 they were 1-2 in preseason with losses to LaMarque and Waller. They again went to games deep in the playoffs with a 6-6 record.

At the same time in 2006, Lumberton went 3-0 in preseason by playing Bridge City, New Caney and Cleveland. They won one game the rest of the year and went 3-7. Any clue to if their fans would trade Nederland's 2006 for theirs?

In 2005 Vidor went 4-4 after going 3-1 in preseason with wins over such daunting opponents as Gulf Shores Academy, Houston Scarborough and New Caney. I wonder if they would trade Nederland's 1-2 preseason for one that went two games into the playoffs for those 3 preseason wins.

The bottom line is, preseason wins don't keep coaches jobs. Going to the playoffs, especially consistently, does keep their jobs.

I agree with what your're saying totally

But.... Nederland had a 2-2 non district schedule result in 2005  ;D

Wins against Texas City and Friendswood, losses to West Brook and West Orange-Stark

Does anyone remember the 2005 Vidor team that was "scrappy" and had TWENTY returning starters?

Would some one like to explain what happened then?

An assistant said theres a strong possibility of Frog goin to lamar

Effort, heart, or desire

Pick one
