They average 14.9 ppg 

 

That’s misleading. Against Houston teams, they gave up next to nothing and most of what they did give up was late with backups in. 

Against better comp, they were an average D, but they scored alot. Quick score offenses usually do give up fair share on defense, but a 56-35 W is just as good as a 21-7 W!

So I am curious who supports or do not support High School football during Thanksgiving break? I am 100% a football guy and there is something special about playing football during the Thanksgiving break. Heck memories of doing walk through practices on Thanksgiving day will never be forgotten. I attended the Huffman vs Carthage game and was embarrassed for Huffman and the community. Huffman had maybe 15 band members, a handful of their dance team, no cheer leaders, and missing some players who i guess had prior engagements. . I don't get it!!!!!! Yet across the way, Carthage had the stands full, band was in full effect, cheerleaders, drill team, blow horns, YOU NAME IT, Carthage had it all. Obviously Huffman band, drill team, hell even the football team were not aware there was a 2nd round playoff game happening. Yes I get it, the odds were against you going against the 2018 STATE CHAMPIONS. (Yes they win it all this year) but how in the heck does Huffman allow players, drill team members, band team, cheer leaders, all just not participate in this game? The season is not over people. If I hear, this is just HS football again, I am going to blow! LOL

I hear ya, but I guarantee you those same folks saying “this is just HS Football” would be calling for the Head Coach to be fired if Huffman wasn’t winning! 

And Marshall Mavericks won’t beat Huntsville. I predict a 35-21 Hornets W. 

Concerned that our WR’s will get no separation from Marshall DBs and we all know our wounded O Line can’t hold a block long enough for any QB to dance around waiting for 3rd and 4th options to come open. 

Silsbee and WOS may be the most battle tested 4 loss 4A teams in Texas. Looks like it’s paying off. 

Silsbee losses: 10-2 PNG (5A still playing), 11-0 Newton (3A still playing), 10-2 Nederland (5A just out), 8-4 WOS (4A still playing)

WOS losses: 10-2 Nederland (5A just out), 11-0 Newton (3A still playing), 12-0 Jasper (4A still playing), 6-4 Crosby (5A before they lost Howard). 

Congras to both. 

These two high powered offenses go at it on the turf in Baytown (Stallworth Stadium) next Friday night at 7:30. 

Battle of blue chip QBs. 

FB Marshall will have the most tallent PNG has faced since the Manvel team from 5/6 years ago. Could this be another last team with the ball wins like PNG/Crosby circa 2017? Can PNG slow down the track team the Buffs will put on the field? Will the PNG O Line give Shug time to find the open man as the Buffs secondary will no doubt close the gaps quicker than anyone PNG has faced to date?

#1 seeds prevail in Region 3 each in convincing fashion. 

Lindale was scrappy. Smallest O and D Lines we’ve seen in a while, but they both got after it. We wore them down some second half. Made some good adjustments at half to stop the run. Lindale did a great job on the two drives after trick play of keeping RJ and company off the field with long sustained drives on the ground. Once PNG adjusted it was over. 

Good job by the staff and players. 

I was NOT impressed with Manvel.  Not the same team from last year or years past. Even though I picked H’Ville, I’m with Frodo I expected a close game. Hornet Defense is legit!!!

I’m second guessing my FB Marshall vs A&M Cons. Pick’em.

PNG holds Lindale to 24 pts....defense is playing some ball right now 

PNG Defense giving up 24 per on year and in the last four games all versus playoff teams giving up 12 ppg. Any word on #31 Barber. I know he left game Friday night. Good CB. Outside of possibly him the D should be healthy. Now the O, thats a different story. Deslatte is out again. PNG misses him in backfield. Takes some of the load off of Shug. Noticed 79 Burt still out and I know 74 Garth out for year.

Marshalls 2 losses are a little better than .500.  Longview and Carthage are both 11-0 and could end up winning 6a n 4a state titles. Since those 2 games Marshall has greatly improved defensively and found a running game offensively.

Which is why I went with Marshall in my pick’ems. 

That said Nederland’s only loss came at the hands of a PNG team thats 9-1 on the field with it’s QB in the game and that one L for PNG was to a very underated Huntsville defensive power. 

I expect a good game at 4 tomorrow, but I’m pickin Marshall and will be there rooting for the Dogs.

vs 0.500 or better teams

Nederland 5-1

Marshall 4-2

Pretty even. 

vs 0.500 or better teams (on field)

PNG 4-2

Lindale 1-4

I concur Lindale has given up 30+ points in 8 out of their 11 games this year it’s not going to surprise me if PNG scores 50+ in this one 

Don’t get me wrong, it could be another shootout for PNG. Seen our boys come out on top a lot in those games, but CS ended PNG seasons last two years in shootout s. Proud of the effort the PNG defense has given against the playoff teams this year in the last 4 games (Santa Fe, BHill, Nederland and Northside). We’re essentially in round 5 of playoffs when you factor in our end of season schedule. 

Just looking at the defensive numbers for Lindale tells me they are not Nederland comparably. Dogs defense outside our game was stout. Lindale, much like PNG before the defense got it going, won a lot of shootouts. 

He’s actually 8-2 this year. He didn’t play in loss to Tomball.

I wasn't there so I can't possibly know what was said or who it was directed towards, but my educated guess would be that, being up 40+ points, lots of subs should get a chance to play. This was probably the parent of a kid who was still on the bench. Hey, but what do I know?

My last post on the subject.

We were not up 40 at the time. It was in the second quarter. 21-0. 

Subs played most of the second half (midway through 3rd Q on).

Big congrats Nederland. Hell of a game. Love that Mid-County doubleheader Houston style.

Same.  Congrats. Looking forward to the double at NRG. 

Plus Manvel vs Huntsville at noon.

Not hard to do when you collect all stars from across the Greater Houston area.

Houston = Clutch City... Marshall = "Move In" City. 

The QB moved in from Austin High.

I’ll tell you I’ve watched him throw the ball for three years every time he goes back to throw the ball he puts all can into a 30 yard pass you cannot do that and big 12 conference you have to Throw the ball with little effort at 30 yards he’s a great runner and great athlete but not a great throwing quarterback he will not make it and big 12

So you’ve seen three games in three years where the defense couldn’t stop him on ground and you make an assessment. Go watch video and ask others about his arm strength. Ask BH about the 50 yard rope to Ceja on the run or the 30 yard pass right while rolling left. Ask Crosby if the kid can sling it? 

He will be a QB at UT and a game changer.  

And Go Dogs

Holy moly.  While SF may not be a powerhouse, they’ve played some respectable football.  Marshall must be a juggernaut.  

Best team in R3 top to bottom. Gonna be a tough out. 

Huntsville has the best D in Region 3. They don’t throw the ball all that well so thry may struggle taking advantage of Manvels secondary. Could be a 7-6 final in this one.

Png game huh

It actually could be the best 1st round matchup in Region 3.  FBW has speed and size. They may be the best 3 seed in our Region. Read option QB could give Nederland fits. 

I suspect had we lost last week we’d be in a shootout versus FBW ourselves.

I’m rooting for them Dogs. I want one of those second round double headers at NRG. 

PNG played Tomball without Shug (QB). Took a 21-0 lead then blew it. Tomball came back and got the W. Bought all I can say. 

Got one that wouldn’t surprise me. But Imma stay low key on it cause I don’t wanna see it happen.
