Good win for the Bulldogs. Completed step 1 of road to playoffs. Now must have a great week of improvement to face Texas City in a crucial game. Would sure like to see a home win. Congrats on a good game

And finished 4-7 luckily made the playoffs and got clobbered in the 1st round. Hopefully better this year, but going to have to improve rapidly

Those are very good stats, however stats don’t win a game. Again all phases need to improve. 1-2 doesn’t cut it

All phases need to improve including the running game. You must improve every week to be a quality team. If this were not so, Nederland’s record would not be 1-2

may be closer than one thinks Dubois does a super job getting them ready to play and Silsbee has not been playing very well this year

sure hope the Bulldogs can bounce back from the tough loss to the Indians They are going to have to improve in all phases of the game to make the playoffs, especially penalties and turnovers These next 3 games are crucial for making the playoffs

1. Lufkin 2. BH 3. PNG 4. Nederland 5. Huffman 6. Livingston 7. Splendora 8. Jasper 9. Rusk 10. Liberty 11. Orangefield 12. HJ 13. Crockett 14. Huntington 15. Anahuac 16. EC 17. Tarkington 18. C-C 19. Newton 20. New Waverly 21. San Augustine 22. Garrison 23. Deweyville 24. HD 25. Evadale

I get what you are saying. It would be a very tough district. You would have some good teams sitting at the house during the playoffs. PNG and Nederland would have a difficult time making the playoffs, but the district would be very strong.

No it is not

Yes PAM, BU, and Tomball are playing well, however PAM and BU are in an extremely weak district. Friendswood was the favorite, but is really struggling. Again 2-2 and 1-2 are not too good in my opinion

PNG gave up 38,37, and 30 the 1st 3 games. This is not what I would call good defense. Nederland got beat by a highly overrated Lufkin team and beat a very weak Jacksonville team. They still have a weak offense and struggle on defense, example the last PNG drive. Yes, both teams played hard, but as of today, they are average at best and will have to improve tremendously to beat BH and Crosby this year. I am hoping they can, but as of now, I see 3rd and 4th in district

Both head coaches must agree on officials or it goes to the UIL and they assign the crew. Each head coach grades the crew, probably the day after the game

I am not down on either team. I would love to see midcounty teams come in 1st and 2nd every year. Upon observation, as of today’s date, both are average HS teams that will have to improve tremendously to be able to beat BH and Crosby

Well I see the FRIENDLY RAIDERS continue to find ways to lose. The Raiders have always been FRIENDLY, however this team may possibly be one of the worst Lumberton football teams in the school’s history

Your usual Nederland vs PNG game down to the wire however it does not look like either team can beat BH and Crosby this year. They could possibly come in 3rd and 4th, if they can beat Dayton, KP, Santa Fe, and TC i think PNG can, but I don’t know about Nederland. Whoever comes in 4th will be one and done in the playoffs if you look at Barrow’s record since he took over, it is not impressive and PNG will never play defense as long as Faircloth is there

Newman owned PNG. PNG owns Barrow. PNG giving up 30+ a game and Big Ned can only scratch out 21(not good) hopefully they can finish 5-4 if they can beat Dayton, KWP, Santa Fe, and TC does not appear either Nederland or PNG can beat BH or Crosby this season hopefully both will make the playoffs at 3 and 4 giving PNG a chance to win bi-district. Big Ned will have no chance at all i said they would have to improve a bunch to beat these 3 and it looks like they have not

Nederland’s fault that the Huntsville game was cancelled

I whole heartily agree

And now you are starting to discover why they are known as the FRIENDLY RAIDERS

I did not say anything bad about any player. Just stating my opinion on why they struggle winning and why they are known as the FRIENDLY RAIDERS

They are called the FRIENDLY RAIDERS for a reason, due to the fact that they find a way to lose the majority of the time. Very respectful players that work hard in practice, but are extremely soft on game day. In other words, they just don’t compete well

I saw the Nederland vs Jacksonville game on the Jacksonville link. Big Ned has some good looking players, but they didn’t look that good. It should be a good game, however Nederland must show a bunch of improvement from the Jacksonville game to beat PNG

Thanks for the link. I watched it and the defense looked much better than I thought. Good news. However the offense looked worse. Than I thought. Good skill people, but too many dropped snaps and other miscues. Offensive line looked big, slow, and lethargic. My take is that they are going to have to improve tremendously to be able to beat BH, Crosby, and PNG. I certainly hope they do

I did not get to see it, I am hoping they will improve and have a great season

Hopefully Nederland will score a lot of points vs PNG. Appears that there defense is weak. Gave up 31 to Lufkin who is now 1-2 and 20 to Jacksonville who has not won a game. PNG is averaging 33 a game
