[/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.

Doty's first start at QB 11/24  121 yards  1 TD  2 Int    (21-20 win over BH at home) Millers first start against good comp (GP was a young team with little talent) 14/22  130 yards    1 TD  1 Int    (29-30 loss to Crosby on the road) Smith's first start 16/32  162 yards  1 TD  0 Int    (21-20 win over Silsbee on the road) We all saw improvement each game with the former QB's, I don't expect that AJ will be any different. Rally around the young man and good things should happen.

King is an outstanding athlete, but he is a Freshman. He will make Freshman mistakes. I don't know much about the Sr. QB, but I am a bit suprised that King is the starter. His talents warrant him being on the field, but I really thought he would move to RB or WR this year and get aclimated to the speed of the game. It is very difficult for a Freshman to take on the role of a leader.  Sounds like new coach recognizes Kendricks talents and figures he will take his lumps early and build for the future. King is not the only talent in that Freshman group. Good things to come in HF if folks will be patient.

Welcome Aboard. Congratulations and Good Luck Ladies.

It looked to me like AJ struggled throwing from the crown on the field. He was high on a bunch of passes to the sidelines, but that could be expected since he has practiced on a flat field all year and even the scrimage was on flat turf. Gotta find a running game! Thought the defense did very well considering they were on the field most of the second half. Tigers scored after two turnovers on short fields. Once inside the ten and once inside the 20.

Its not like Guyer lost to a bunch of chumps, Cedar Hill is a 5A state title contender year after year.

Morris is the kid I saw at the spring game on the sidelines throwing left handed darts...Then he swapped over to his right hand and the darts turned to bullets. It was the most impressive thing I saw on the field that day.

Almost double the school size, it is just hard to hang with alot more talent to pick from. Probably a good game but I don't think Silsbee will really get rolling until they work out some of the kinks. Raidernaytion comments are hilarious considering Lumberton's inability to beat Silsbee in football or basketball. I wonder what the standing record between the two schools are? Maybe Silsbee having triple the wins when the two have gone head up. Of course that is if he considers raidernation a good quality opponent. [/quote] or maybe he considers the district that both png and lumberton play in to be competitive?? our district is pretty much a dog fight every year. not taking anything away from 3A though [/quote] I don't think these raider fans are knocking Silsbee as much as they are praising PNG for it's typical schedule which includes Tx City, BH, Gregory Portland, Crosby, Summer Creek (this year) as well as the always tough 20-4A. Silsbee allways has some great talent. What they lack is depth as do most 3A schools. Against other 3A's it usually isn't a big deal, but one thing PNG has allways been able to do is wear down opponents that have less depth. This may be the case come Friday night. Interested to see the Silsbee RB. I hear he is a beast. Should be a great test for our young defense. Better learn to wrap up and hold on!

PNG under Faircloth doesn't use two way players.

[quote name="Mr. Buddy Garrity" post="1248886" timestamp="1345674774"] for SFA -----> Eric Alexander [/quote] PAM is a no brainer...JC was maybe the best HS football player in the country and a superstar on the track! Not sure, but other than football what did Eric Alexander excell in? Dustin Hood was very good for Nederland as was Sullivan, but Cammack might get my vote. Poor kid had nothing to back him on the gridiron, but he still excelled. His Sr. year they lined him up at WR, RB, finally at QB because they just needed the ball in his hands. He also played some defense. And the 93 mph fastball was killer. I know it sounds like a broken PNG record, but Dustin Long led his FB team to a state title game, was a very good basketball player all be it on some bad teams and was an All-District SS on a baseball team that also played for a state title.

Not sure about PNG, but I have one I played against in HS that is a no doubter from his school: Jeff Granger - Orangefield class of '90.  QB on FB team and at A&M...400 Meter State finalist...All State Baseball and played baseball at A&M and on team USA and for the Pitsburgh Pirates. Also a guy from SFA right before me that was a great two sport star was Allen Griggie. 1000+ yard RB on some great teams and could hit a baseball a mile! Graylon Johnson was also a beast on the gridiron and on the basketball court at SFA.

Good for him. I know he had some issues early in the season, but he really responded well when PK called him and the other seniors out. Hopefully he learned alot about himself as a person and a player as a result. Sky is the limit. He was one of the most athletic guys LU has ever had on campus.

[quote name="fl0317" post="1248490" timestamp="1345624399"] I have never heard of santa fe [/quote] Probably because they have been in that Friendswood, Lamarque, Manvel, Tx City district and were an afterthought. They did make a push a couple years ago in that district. Softball team won State title in 2011! New district might help'em. Vidor 28 SF 7 Might not!

Not sure about Ron, but Brian is still in PN. He owns Athletes on 365 which is an indoor training facility. He also has a son playing at the Junior level these days. QBed his team to title in PeeWee last year.

[quote name="SFA85" post="1246229" timestamp="1345222084"] Years PNG were 5A and who was the QB each year(to help settle an argument)  I think D. Long was a sophmore the last year PNG was 5A which I'm saying was 97 football season [/quote] No Long's Sophomore year was 97, but PNG was 4A. PNG was 5A in '94 and '95. Went 1-9 in '94 and 3-7 in '95. Not sure who PNG QB was, but I do remember that Baytown Lee had Clint Stoener. PNG went back to 4A in '96 and went 10-2. Corey Prosperie was QB.

And started on a 5A team that went 8-3 and 5-1 in a district with Permian, Midland Lee, Abiliene and Amarillo. One thig is for sure...the kids frequent traveler miles just went down on Friday nights!  ;D

A.J. Smith is 6'5" with a pretty good arm and decent wheels for his size. 4.5 I doubt, but not 5.0 either. What has yet to be determined is his presence in the pocket. Stared down wr in the spring game and showed marginal accuracy, but I know he has worked his tail off over the summer. Yes Lamar has offered so they see potential. There is a Sophomore that has folks excited named Ky Walker as well. He looked good in Spring. Quick on his feet and accurate. Much shorter maybe 5'10".

Well said 44. The talent level behind this class may be the best in years. So, no matter what happens this year, I for one am extremely anxious to see what BF can do with the youngsters once they mature.

From our district I would bump LCM down to a 2. No playoffs in the last 5 years. Also Tx City is probably a 3...What have they done the past 5 years? Not sure they have even made the playoffs. And Terry? I would swap Dawson and BHam. Dawson gets a knod for the D1 recruits, but No Title game yet. By that same assessment, BHam has the D1 recruits and a title game appearance.

Speaking of those once mighty Bay City Blackcats...boy have they fallen off of the TX HS Football map!!!

Program is in the best position its been overall in years. Whats so different? Go back and look. PNG would go 11-3 then go sub .500 and out of the playoffs for three years then go 10-4 then back to sub .500 for three years.  Why?  Coaching!!! BF knows how to win with what he has and what he has comming. Nederland just so happens to be going through a period the next few years where they have some very talanted teams comming. So it is very possible that PNG may not win the next 2 or 3 years, but could still be 9-1 or 8-2 and then go several rounds deep.

Also I cound't really understand Padilla pitting a 4A vs 3A in one of it's showcases. The better matchup would be LaMarque/SVille or PNG and another well traveled 4A.

[quote name="Big Ford" post="1244454" timestamp="1344875752"] Must be a "young" Ozen Panther with all that bad spelling...lol.  Despite me being a Jaguar and also pulling for Ozen, until proven otherwise, Nederland is not overrated. [/quote] This guy is not an Ozen Panther fan. Notice how his spelling was just fine on some rather difficult words to spell in his first few posts: [quote author=Bamahater link=topic=101587.msg1244409#msg1244409 date=1344871188] Are the bullpups overrated? They were one play away from losing to a "weak" vidor team and should have lost to Ozen. Even though they are returning a ton a starters are they the real deal or all hype? [/quote] [quote author=Bamahater link=topic=101587.msg1244435#msg1244435 date=1344873953] Its called sarcasm[/quote] Then when he announces that he was a "Panta" fan all of a sudden he can't spell: [quote author=Bamahater link=topic=101587.msg1244451#msg1244451 date=1344875255] Ima Ozen panta lol. Why do u Nederland guys get so mad if y'all ate that good? [/quote] Also How many real Ozen Panther fans use "lol"?  ;D

Most fun back with Barry Sanders type miss'ems that I ever saw in person was ShanDerrick Charles. For those that didn't know, he was Jamaal's older brother. Smaller in stature (5'8" maybe 175 in HS). Played for Lincoln in the late 90's and went on to SMU where he set an SMU single game rushing record as a Freshman (in only 3 quarters), beating out Dickerson and James. Unfortunately he had a neck injury as a senior at Lincoln that would become re-aggrevated at SMU durring his Soph. season. This ended his FB career.

Allright BooDogs...It's rare, but this NDN fan expects big things from you guys this year. Just hope your guys stay healthy as this seems to bite (no Bulldog pun intended) you guys in the rear more so than any other local team year in and year out. Good Luck!
