I agree. The Pro Set offense, Huddle, TE, FB, power I, play action, roll out passing game has worked quite well For Katy the last 30 years.

Works for Katy because they have huge linemen. Power only works if you have Power and if you don’t adjust to your physical strengths you will fail. Neuman was great at adjusting to his talent each year. 
Nederland will not succeed right now with a power I. 
they need to get #1 the ball in space. He Good.

Generally speaking yes it's not done on purpose to give that competitive advantage it's more for clout on Instagram in hype videos etc 

Looked at 2022 pics and a few had purple gloves on and we wore white SOC in all black. None of the SOC kids had on white gloves. So gives credence to a disrespect vs in game advantage reasoning. Pretty stupid but….

Disrespect that! 😂

After last night he isn't a MVP candidate 😁

Never shoulda been before. Not even MVP of that team. CMc and Deebo are more valuable.

Avg margin of victory 27.5 points

Do they change which regions play semis every year?

Maybe we need that back to back bump up rule in place. Although every team going for their 3rd lost.

Or maybe it has more to do with the travel. Notice outside of PNG it was all DFW area or teams that had less than two hours of travel that won. And PNG came up the day before. Those kids said last year they were worn out by the time the game started from being up early and a 6 hour bus ride. This game should rotate between Alamodome, NRG and Jerry world. 

This shows Todds ignorance in the situation. The Field Judge threw the PI flag. The guy that is from Nederland and lives in PN was the Line Judge. Oh and the PI was proven legit. 
And furthermore Todd agreed to the crew. Done. Finished. Take some accountability for your team being out coached. Apologize to those kids for your lack of preparation.  Can’t tackle the guy one on one yet #21 Green caught Zero passes. Thats on the Legendary Todd.

Didnt say there was a rule said why isnt there one.  I know my daughter plays softball and there are rules , at least in some sanctions not sure about all of the, against having yellow in the uniform shirt so thT it doesnt hinder the batter seeing the ball.

Thats for safety reasons. A bright yellow ball being hurled at your head from 42 feet at 60+ mph is very different than a hold on a jersey. 
Until UIL makes it illegal then it’s up to the opposing coaches to make sure the crew calling the game is aware. It could actually backfire if a crew really cracks down on what the gloves are actually being used for.

PNG has 8 back on offense and 5 on defense. two of the three d linemen are back. 

Means we are now the Hunted!

We might have Liberty Hill in our region too

Boerne is also moving into 5A D2. Not sure of region (probably 4), but they were in 2022 4A D1 State Game.

The soph QB really stepped up, and the big Offensive line did too. The receiver-back up QB - punter #11 is a jr, and will play a big part again next season. #15 rb will also. On defense there will be lots of big roles to fill. But db #10, and LBs 4 and 43 are juniors. I'm not sure how many D linemen with starting or regular roles are returning. 

DLinemen #94 Hernandez and #49 Fuentes return. And adding #99 soph this year Barnwell to the mix.

Png has the best period. they won ,game over! end of story.til next chapter :2024  lol!

I don’t know that SOC makes it back next year. That region is stacked and they will be adding Anna (4A D1 State Champ) who is moving up. 
I like PNGs odds though. All that said it is very hard to win 5 straight against top talent each week, especially when you go into each game with a bullseye on your back like PNG will next year.

Funny there's no mecca on the SOC kids helmet? Photoshop? 

Because this years white helmet didn’t have Mecca on it. It had a very faint Gold outlined SOC on it.

If PNG can stop the run and force SOC to pass it they have a shot. I haven't seen much from SOC in the passing game, however from a personnel standpoint they are severely outmatched at just about every position on the field.

PNG O Line was not outmatched. Gave QB Bailey (also not outmatched) time to throw and opened enough holes for Nguyen to get down field. SOC big goal line package was stout. SOC DBs were fast, but we exploited that D over the middle with their LBs playing so close to the line. 
PNG D Line and LBs adjusted in second half and stopped the run. Forced the pass and you were right, we put pressure on QB and changed the game. 
Green was great but Bears staff were stupid not to throw some swing passes or screens to him. One on one he was trouble but they never worked to get him one on one.

Geographically speaking, swap out BH for Crosby........

And I thought I read on DC that Desoto was opting up.......

Was also under impression that Lee would not opt up this go round. Especially if GCM goes 6A

Future is bright for sure but “seriously” only homer thinks he is the best 5A QB in Texas.

53% 1100 yds 14td and 2int they don’t ask him to do too much and he has done great in that capacity, but best QB in state should shoulder the load…ala Jake South from SA Pieper has 41 passing TDs and his team is playing today. Good chance we see him if we get past HVille. 
 

Hernandez for 5A Def POY!!!
Got my vote.

What’s the largest high school stadium?  Katy Legacy? 

Baytown Stallworth by a wide margin. 16k

Katy is 12K. SB Tulley is 13.5 

Why is Bailey even in the running?

Morcos from LC last night was best overall QB we have seen this year and he isn’t on the list???

Coaching changes are tricky. Must be the right coach. PNG got it right with the help of Dodge. A lot of folks snickered when PNG hired Todd to help with the search but the guy knows the guys in the business that can beat you with theirs or yours. Pretty sure a certain NISD school board member has TD’s number 😉

I'm sure the coaches have picked up on this but when Byars is getting the ball he has a "tell" he gets a running start before he is handed the ball I'm sure the coaches have picked up on it too

It’s a drop step but he does it on play action passes and the QB will also pull it and go so not a lot of a tell. Only time he doesn’t is when he is going out for pass or is just pass blocking. Somewhat of a tell but can’t sell out on it. 

These two could be district mates year.

Hey, better than last year.  You never know what will happen.  That's why they play the game.  Could it be a butt wippen?  Heck yeah.  Go in there dogs and play loose.  Go in there as if you own the place.  You might wake up some old echoes.

There ya go…What they got to lose. Get #1 the ball however you can. He can be a difference maker. 

Ned will fight but if LC has a strong run game, well we saw how well big ned defended the run two weeks ago. 
I will say it is closer than most think. 
14-10 halftime 

42-24 final

Actually in 99 three teams made the playoffs. Two went D2 and largest of three went D1. 

Ned D1

PNG and Lincoln D2

A good 4th team in WOS would’ve been 4th team in and seeing how they were PNG’s only loss until the state title, kinda glad they only took 3 😂

38-28 last year. This PNG defense is stronger than last years. Offense is more lean on you for four Q’s and wear you down.

SOC still top dawg until knocked off. 8-2 with cupcake district but those early games were bigtime! L’s to Duncanville and Desoto. Rankings be damned. I feel like if they are gonna be gotten it might me in first couple rounds due to malaise from district comp.
