2023 PNG Commanders . Because we need to please everyones feelings 

I've always said we shouldn't have anything to do with Cherokee. Karankawa, maybe. But I say we go with the Welders. PNG Welders. "W-E-L-D-E-R-S! Tack 'em Welders, Tack 'em!!"  Just think of the possibilities. I've already suggested this on the PNG site.

I thought the stadium was nice, but not impressed with seating in stadium. I actually like watching football in NRG better. What was the deal with not opening the end zone on first level?

Also, the attendance numbers for 6A were higher then the day before which I find questionable. If you look at pics of both days, it sure seems to show Friday night larger then Saturday night.

The Houston Chronicle stated that there were 40,000 + in attendance to watch NS and Duncanville. So if you say that the stands were more full for the PNG game, then they must have had over 40k in attendance, (presuming the Chronical is accurate). 

Wow, great game! 

He didn't make it.  He was short, D-Ville's ball. Wow. 

D-Ville losing it. They better calm down and play D. 

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? 

4 more downs

Well, NS sort of self destructing. They need a turnover. Bad. 

Should NS score quickly?  Better not too quickly. But they want to have time left after D-Ville gets the ball back. 

It's a barn burner. 

It seems like the runners and receivers in this weekend's games are almost going out of their way to do a  stiff-arm. 

Edit:  Throw. Throw a stiff-arm.

I hate pooch kicks. Smh. 

Same.  Never have, and don't get the logic of it. Either go ahead and do an OSK or else go ahead and kick it.

How many returning starters on offense and defense?

Off the top of my head, roughly 9 or 10 on defense, and 9 or 10 on offense, but note that my post said "players", not "starters".  Depends on how one defines "starters", since there were various starters due to injuries. As an example, #16 and #6, starting Sr linebackers, missed several games due to injuries, and #26 a Jr, and #43 a Soph, "started" against Dayton, Texas City, Willow Ridge and maybe 1 or 2 more games. Others that came up and played included RB #15, and WR #88, both Sophs if I'm not mistaken, and also #42 on defense. Others "started" on special teams, and were back-ups or otherwise saw playing time. The speedy WRs, #18, #10, #84, will be hard to replace, player for player. But the offense may have a slightly different look, presuming #19 becomes starting QB. Adams will be more of dual threat than Crippen was (with all due respect to Crippen); and he was a pretty good QB in middle school and part of his Soph season before he was moved up to varsity.  Next season will be interesting. 

Lots of returning players, plus a few more that didn't play this season. If they pick up where they left off, and keep the coaching staff, they will be a strong team.

The UIL follows NCAA rules.

You can punt a free kick if you choose to. 

The punter for PNG was the QB, so maybe they just wanted regular defense players on the field for a kickoff. IDK, but I think I still would have punted. Long, high punt, with plenty of hang time.

They may or may not. However, something few state on here if ever. Many parents will "shop" schools and simply move to a town for sports without any recruiting taking place. If they keep their mouth shut and don't say or put anything on social media as to why....BAM quality athlete shows up. 

You have a crew in WOS worried about this very thing. 

A family that lived across the street from me in Barbers Hill did this very thing for their son several years ago. They sold their house and moved to a different town.

The safeties hurt PNG the most IMO,  not only the four free points but the FG and TD on a short field after the free kicks.

... and another thing, or maybe a question, does UIL allow a punt after a safety? If so, I would have punted rather than kick off from the tee after the safeties. If not then NM. 

Re next season, PNG will have another strong team, maybe even better IMO. Presuming they get all the return players back.

need more pressure on their qb

 

PNG had two guys injured on the sideline that would have really made a big difference when SOC was in passing situations.  Anyway there's always next season for the JRs and Sophs.

Yep. I've held my breath on every long or special snap all season. But there hadn't been one over the punter's head in a long time. 

Congrats PNG. Any season that you play 16 games is a great season. Lots of good players coming back next season too. 

Adams is on defense?

C'mon Indians, another half like the first half, now. C'mon DBs, you can do it.
