Both teams appear to have improved; and presuming no loss of major players to injury or grades, I'm thinking this game could be a toss up. SF could keep it close like Dayton did last Friday, but Ned has home field advantage and some momentum after their win last week. Going to go with the Dogs on this one.

I wish the clock would just run continuously throughout for this one, for more reasons than one.
-
TC I think, just based on a little stronger offense. FBM has a strong defense however, so it should be a close game.
-
Is it a 1pm game? Or 6 pm.

Fort Bend Marshall's offensive woes are mystifying
The first thought that came to my mind is that they are really missing their QB from last season. Don't know about last night, but last week there were two QBs swapping in and out.

We didn't stop there, but saw it when we passed by. My wife said that place looks small compared to the Hyatt Regency next door, and then we both said, "Hyatt Regency?". When did that get there?
Anyway, whoever suggested the "Red Bluff to NASA 1 to 45 to TC" route, thanks again, we did indeed use that route, going.
WRT the TC Stings, I'm picking them to beat FBM. And for a while there I was beginning to believe that the schmooze job the TC superintendent gave the officials before the opening kickoff was going to work. Geez, the chain gang, the scorekeeper, the timekeeper, the down marker, the non-calls, and the convenient little holding and USLC calls. The whole crew. Otherwise, what a game. Bell vs Nguyen, Duran vs Bailey, plus the receivers for both teams. Great game.

If that concession stand 1.5mil they got hosed.
I was thinking along those same lines, but my wife and I both voted for it anyway. We're over 65 so our school taxes won't increase, regardless.

Not trying to challenge that but T-Bone Toms was a big disappointment last time I went. Way too expensive and a dry, small steak. Mrs. Scientist asked me to not take her there again.
I would suggest O'Neals on the Water. Great place and awesome views. Even live music sometimes.
Is Oneal's a new place? There's been several difference restaurants that tried that location in the past.
Gringo's Tex-Mex in Texas City looks interesting. So does Cafe Petra.

I'm not surprised at the price, with today's prices and interest rates. If the stadium in the pic with the article is a 43 million $ stadium (or maybe it was 48 mil, I don't remember), then the 94 mil$ new one could still be quite modest, especially if it includes an elevator, good seating, electronic scoreboard and all that goes with that, and a nice concession stand with multiple restrooms. Hamshire-Fannett approved a 1-1/2 mil concession stand a couple of years ago, before inflation, that I presume included restrooms.

PNG will need to step it up on offense. If they do they’ll take the win. If not TC wins this game. Defense alone want win this game. I Think PNG could be awesome if they could get their offense clicking like their defense. I’m taking TC in this one, but PNG could be great if they get the offense clicking. Good luck to both teams let’s see who wants it.
I agree on the need for PNG offense to come together; but all they need, really, is ~4 or 5 fewer dropped passes, and they'll be ok. That and perhaps an injured player or two back on offense. Also, in the FBM game, PNG had three good chances for fairly easy field goals. The final score could have easily been 16-0, with good smooth snaps and holds. Anyway I'm guessing that they'll be much improved by this Friday, but I'm still expecting a tough game.

FB Marshall is still in it. They’re going to win a lot of games. I think as the season goes on our performance against them will look more and more impressive.
Agree wrt FBM. I noticed several pretty big guys on their sideline not suited up, including what I think was their big defensive end. I noticed them because pre-game they were standing over behind, and watching, the PNG players that were doing pre-game drills and warm-ups on the visitor side of the field.
I think that TC is the dark horse in the district, though. They defeated Friendswood and Galveston Ball; and #22, Bell, is a Sr now, and seems to have big games against PNG. It's a big game for both teams, just like last week's PNG-FBM game.

The sign wasn’t wrong. Those cheerleaders know stuff 😀
I failed to read the sign; so now I guess I need to watch the video.
WRT FBM, they'd better get it together before they play Texas City. Next Friday will be interesting for PNG, playing at TC. Hopefully PNG can keep up the intensity and not relax after this big win; I think they are going to need all the intensity they can muster.

Izzy’s original post isn’t wrong. Whatever that OC was trying to do was brutal. The play calling made no sense all night. PNG played awesome, but Marshall is handicapped by their coaching staff. Both things can be true.
but what do I know. I’m just the assistant coach for PNG Junior-Purple. Big game for us at Port Arthur today. 😀
I sure expected more deep passes from FBM, and perhaps the QB scrambles that go with them. Otherwise it was almost identical to last season with the QB runs and short screen passes.

I have a feeling that this game isn't going to be pretty.

From the Beaumont Enterprise:
"Port Neches-Groves (2-1) got all it could handle from the gallant Orange County visitors. Paced by quarterback Marcus Turner, Jr., West Orange-Stark led in first downs, 20-13, and total net yards by a whopping 525 to 307. But the Mustangs also led in penalty yards, 105-40. Turner accounted for 254 yards, running for 115 and two scores while passing for 139. Port Neches-Groves passed for only 4 yards due in part to a first-half ankle injury that sidelined quarterback Shea Adams for the entire second half."
PNG beat FBM? Really? The PNG defense gave up 525 yards against a WOS team that fielded only 31 players, +/-. They did manage to hold WOS down the stretch, but if WOS would have tried for field goals twice the score might have been 26-20, or maybe 23-20, WOS, at the end of regulation, presuming PNG kicks that last field goal and tries an OSK. I'm really holding my tongue here, but PNG has a tough row to hoe this season just to make the playoffs, unless some changes are made both on defense and offense. And I very seriously doubt that any changes will be made.
-
WOS could have and really should have won this game. I think their lines (D-Line mainly) faded a bit there at the end. But my major observation was the number of holding calls. It seemed like there were more holding calls in this one game than I saw called in all of last season put together. I wondered last season, pretty much every game, what does one have to do to get flagged for holding? Tonight was the opposite. Flags all over the place.
Anyway, good game. PNG's #33 deserved the win, more than anybody.

I heard that WOS lists 26 players on the varsity roster. I glanced on line, and maxpreps lists 29 I think. The school district site doesn't list the roster, or else I just didn't find it. Per the program I picked up last week in PN, PNG lists 54 varsity players.
It's got to be tough for the smaller team to hang with the larger team for 4 quarters, with all else being somewhat equal and no turnovers or "gimmees", etc. I recall a JV game a couple of seasons ago when Santa Fe showed up in PN with a team that probably didn't have as many as 20 players, and they did pretty well for a while, but it wasn't long before PNG was emptying their bench.
Anyway, I missed last season's game, and it wasn't carried on Texan Live, so I'm looking forward to seeing this one. The PNG-WOS games always seem to be interesting.

They may need a running clock for the 2nd half.
I wish there would have been a running clock, the 4th qtr must have lasted 30 minutes or more.
And I agree with all of the above positive comments with regard to BU. They have some talented offensive linemen, and speed in the backfield. I lost count how many passes were dropped, though, and some of them had TD written all over it. Trying to run before they catch the ball as the saying goes, which may be sort of understandable when you're down by a lot, and trying to make a big play.

You remember last year, when PN-G took the worst season opener loss in school history to Memorial, 50-15 in Port Neches, and then turned around and beat United 49-0 at BISD’s [insert name here] Stadium the very next week?
Apparently nobody in 6A does.
That was last year.

For the ppl that want to keep up with scores:
With the 1’s was like
17-7 PNG (1-2 quarters)
With the 2’s
14-6 LCM (3-4 quarters)All 4 Quarters
Like 23-21 PNGIt was hard to keep up w/o the scoreboard; they were only keeping up with the clock and the buzzer. But PNG scored on their 1st 5 possessions, 4 passes with good runs, and 1 field goal. One receiver scored twice, and the halfback scored twice on what appeared to be the same short pass play. I quit keeping up with it after that.
Re LCM, they played 3 or maybe 4 different QBs. The tall QB that was playing in the 4th looked pretty good. LCM's 4th qtr broke down a little, with some penalties, including 1 holding call that resulted in a TD run being called back. Otherwise they looked much better, and a little more spirited, in the 2nd half. Everyone was talking about PNGs big O line, but LCM has a pretty big O line as well. All in all LCM has a good team, based on what I saw.

LCM only scored twice to my knowledge, but I could have missed one.
I recall only 2 scores. A field goal by the first team, and a late TD with ~3 minutes remaining by the 2nd team against the PNG 2nd team.

It should be interesting. Last season the first scrimmage finally was called after a couple lightning alarms went off. I forget how long the second scrimmage attempt lasted, but I recall that LCM moved the ball pretty good. When the PNG offense got the ball they ran something like 10 straight or maybe more running plays up the middle to the same RB. Then changed RBs and ran 10 or more running plays in a row, up the middle, all to the 2nd RB. So who knows, maybe this Thursday they will just throw passes like its a 7 on 7, but I wouldn't guess that, since these two teams faced each other numerous times 7 on 7 this past spring and early summer. I do know one thing, though. This past Sat morning it was HOT and HUMID at the PNG Reservation. We'll see how it is in LCM this Thursday evening.

Will this game be live streamed, other than Texan Live if it will be on Texan Live?
I'm picking WOS, since I've seen them play. I haven't seen HF, yet. If WOS would have kicked field goals instead of going for it a couple of times they would have beat PNG a few weeks ago.
