Last Week

--- Quote from: BADSANTA on Today at 08:04:26 PM ---Lions fumble kickoff Tiger ball Lions and Tigers and Mustangs! OH MY!!!

And correct me if I am wrong, but a couple of them are on Varsity as well. Strong class. They have also won all but 1 or 2 basketball games as well from what I hear.

Actually Outanup the Sophomore played against both WOS and SC, two fast defenses. He played well enough against SC to get the start in the district opener. So this aint his first rodeo. Kid throws a nice ball and though he will make some mistakes, he will make many more plays.

Great!

Livingstons speed is not in question, especially with a healthy Collins. The fact is the Lions, just like everyone else 3 through 8 in 20-4A, have other big questionable areas. Reality is that the two teams that can mask those issues the best will play week 11 and get hammered!

Saw alot of coaches at Ford Park this weekend...Some big names as well...Murphy from National Champs Alabama was there in his houndstooth Cap, Lotief from ULL, and Oranges own Howard Dobson was there from LSU. As CrushCoach said, we were very pleased with our field assignments. I see alot of promise in future events in BMT if they can keep it up. Great job Ronnie, Nara and Jonathan!

As I stated before the season and believe that it's beginning to prove out, 20-4A is not very good this year as a whole like it has been in the past several years. The top two in Black and Gold are very good teams who could have nice playoff runs, but the battle between 3 thru 7 will produce a couple of lambs to the slaughter for 19-4A!

"C'Mon Man"

Good news is we got Lumberton in two weeks. Nothing says pick-me-up like playing the Raiders when your struggling!

Think AJ threw both picks with the second one being a pick 6.

Chipman had been battling a leg injury since FB began this year. Best guess is it just got to a point that it wasn't worth the potential long term injury considering his love for Baseball. I wish him well.

To answer ones earlier question...Yes PNG before Faircloth did take a knee, but that was a coaching regime that was from this area.When asked about it Faircloth was a little suprised.  Having coached in West Texas, CenTex and Dallas he stated this was the only area that he had ever seen do that. He explained that having athletes kneel then get right back up and go full speed can lead to injury. Anybody who has goten down on one knee for any length of time then got back up can attest to that. His rule is not out of any disrespect. Spend five minutes with the Gentleman and you will realize that he holds every young man on that field, be it friend or foe, in high regards for the efforts they put in to the game they love. Also, when a PNG player gets hurt, we don't get down on a knee either.  My daughter plays Softball year round and when a player gets hurt, no one takes a knee. I have been to a bunch of basketball games at the HS and college levels and never have I seen anyone take a knee when a player gets injured! And this includes the very schools that some of you that are pointing the finger at PNG are from. So if it's OK in all other HS sports then why do local yocals make a big deal about it each year on Friday Nights? My take is it's just another chance for some to point the finger this way and say we think we are better than everyone else...Well glass houses!!!

You will not beat WOS through the air! They are vulnerable if you can spread em out and pound it at em, but you gotta be patient and keep working the ground game. I thought we would have faired much better had we taken that approach. At least we could have kept it low scoring and close enough to have a shot.

Now 22-22 PNG/WOS.  2 min left 3rd

Now 16-14 WOS.  5 to play in 3rd

WOS JV 16 PNG JV  6. Halftime Lemoine at QB for PNG for whoever asked earlier

Walker has only been at PNG for 1 year. He moved from HF before his Freshman year. Not any real ties to PNG. The folks that have called for him over AJ are not his "faithful" I can gaurantee you that. His "faithful" support AJ in his Senior campaign wholeheartedly as do I. Now what I have no problem with is getting 2 very good athletes on the field at the same time...If this means AJ at WR some then so be it. His skill set, size and straightline speed, probably is better served at WR then Walkers would be elsewhere?? In other words Walker probably doesn't help the offense with himself at WR or RB like AJ can if you have another good QB. Think Tanehill moving to WR versus Johnson moving to WR for A&M a few years back. Johnson was not the athlete Tanehill was so it made since to keep him at QB and use Tanehill at WR to get the both on the field at the same time.

Tries to get to the line to spike it and time runs out just before. Great game. [/quote]yep! thats the one.  ;) alot of [s]bad[/s] [b]Hooks[/b] calls by the refs in that game.  ;) [/quote] Yep...Long was injured on a late hit and WOS was flagged for it. Hooks comes out like he is checking on Long and starts to argue the call with the officials while Long is laying on the turf.  Lost some respect for one of the great coaches of our time in HS FB that night. I know he just got caught up in the game, but he'd been around long enough to know to temper down till after the player was tended to.

'98 PNG at WOS - Down 21-14 - Long runs down to the 3 yard line with no timeouts and about 6 seconds left. Tries to get to the line to spike it and time runs out just before. Great game. '00 WOS at PNG...PNG kicks away from Franks on the 2nd half kickoff. Balls goes out of bounds. Move us back 5 yards and for some reason we decide to kick deep to Franks??  :o TD Franks and WOS wins 7-0! They went on to the State title game against Ennis that year.

Remember if aint broke, don't fix it! Offense wasn't broke.  However, the NDN defense, if I was the coach, that would keep up at night worrying.  This is 20-4A after all. Ozen, Vidor, Nederland, Central.....oh the nightmares I would be having trying to find a defense to stop them. It could be a long season if the focus is not put where it needs to be.  Politics doesn't sell football tickets - WINNING does! There could be several fires at the ol' reservation this year. [/quote] Offense wasn't broke?  They totaled 210 yards on 64 plays. Thats 3.3 yards per play of which they averaged 1.6 on the ground...Thats broke. Was it AJ? No. I'd say for his first start he did well enough to warrant another start. There aint no politics going on at PNG. Love it when a Bulldog fan tries to stir the PNG Pot!  ;D

[quote name="thedogs1987" post="1261036" timestamp="1346861078"] The biggest problem with the NDNs is their defense.  I would put my concern there if I was the Ndn faithful, this drum beat of downing AJ to lift up someone else is distracting and hurtful to the team. [/quote] I see alot of downing the defense from Friday night, but I thought the defense was a bright spot for most of the game...Silsbee scored after two PNG turnovers inside there 20. First half the defense was dominant, but the offense was controling the clock...Second half the offense sputtered and the defense was on the filed most of the half. They held a very good back to 3.4 ypc. Reed caught the defense over pursuing on one play and hit the backside WR for 50+ yards (great designed and executed play by the way), but the defense held and gave up no points. I didn't see alot yards after contact from the Tigers. [quote author=thedogs1987 link=topic=102438.msg1261036#msg1261036 date=1346861078] Also, any development in the running game would benefit the Indians, AJ should be utilized as run threat as well.  I can see this being the bread and butter for NDNs this year.  The question is why are they not doing it? [/quote] They are running AJ. He ran 14 times, most if not all were designed runs, not scrambles. My biggest concern for my Indians this year is the lack of a running game. The past three teams had a workhorse and good lines that always plowed forward and rarely turned the ball over.

DT Riley is out. Went by practice today and both AJ and Walker took reps with 1st team. AJ did split out when Walker was in. No gimmick. AJ caught the passes thrown his way. Both looked sharp.

Interesting to say the least. I know both young men are very good athletes. Maybe this is a way to get as many athletes on the field together at the same time. Especially against WOS who we all know is full of athletes. Not sure how comfortable I am with Walkers first Varsity snaps coming against WOS!!! I am behind whoever is under center or should I say behind center in our offense  ;D!

[/quote] I do agree that Summer Creek should be a top 25 team, but Aledo the back to back 4A State Champion that just spanked Highland Park by 3 TD's this week is surprising to you.  COME ON MAN!!!!! [/quote] Pretty sure he was taking a poke at SC Dawgs.
