Yep. TC’s defensive line control the game, period. Changing the running back would not have mattered. You still have to have a lane to run through. A different runner might have gotten a few more yards but would not have been a game changer. Nederland came into the game probably averaging over 300 yards a game. Their offensive line simply did not match up with Texas City. After the rain shortened WOS game they are averaging 38 in the 4 game before TC. Even with the defensive shutout by TC, Nederland is still averaging 30 points a game in the last five games. I’m not sure why some people have a hard time saying that we just ran into a tougher team on that night and move on. I never predict high school football games. For all I know a Dayton might win 68-0 but I wouldn’t take much from the Texas City game. In their last five games they’ve given up 10 points on defense.

We got an explanation on the Nederland recovery of the fumble on the punt. Nederland did recover but an inadvertent whistle blew the play dead.

After kick off, Texas City start from their own 25

It seems like. He’ll recover the muffed punt and they made him kick it again. Then there’s a roughing on Texas City with no other penalties during the play. After the Texas city player takes a knee, Nederland hits him late for a dead ball foul. They the turn the ball over to Texas City.
