1989NDN

Watching SOC on YouTube.  The RB #21 Green is quick and elusive.  Yikes.  Not the biggest guy, but he can take a pop and bounce off tacklers.  PN-G has seen some good RBs this season, but I don't think the Indians have seen anyone with his combination of quickness, vision, and the ability to slip away from tacklers.  The SOC QB #18 reminds me of PN-G's #9...cool under pressure and making the right reads and throws.  #18 can sling it.  SOC defense is fast at all three levels, but I think PN-G's OL will be able to create some running lanes.  The game will come down to PN-G stopping the run and PN-G winning some one-on-one battles in the passing game when SOC loads the box.  Stopping the run is easier said than done.  SOC has some DUDES on the OL and #21 zips right through their lanes.  They are playing well.  Glad PN-G has a shot to play the last 5A-DII game of the year and taking a shot at the defending champs.  We've got a shot...what more can you ask for?  Should be a good game.  Tip of the cap to SOC coaching staff...they lost 11 scholarship kids from last season and they are back at the top, in the state championship.  Impressive.
P.S.  One more thing.  No turnovers this year.  The Indians need to hold on to the ball.  No safeties this year.

If they clear out the lower bowl following each game, will our GA-tickets get us back in for the second and third games?  My group was planning to stay and watch all three games on Saturday.  Thanks.

In 2024, Region III may run through Huntsville.  At times, they played 9 JRs and SOPHs on defense.  They have size, quickness, and they were physical.  The Hornets practice tackling and it shows.  They don’t arm tackle.  Plus, Huntsville will return their QB and RB.  They will be tough next season.  All that said, PN-G handed out hits of their own last Friday.  It’s hard to run the ball when there are 9 defenders within 5 yards of the LOS.  When PN-G gets the lead, the coaches will squeeze the clock.  Second halves may not look pretty, but the formula works.  I’ll take 26 wins over the last two seasons and there’s a good shot we can rack up 28 wins in our last 32 games.  Sign me up for more ugly second halves.

No crying...CFISD can sell SRO tickets and/or open up the LH side to PN-G and we can fill their side, too.  Katy Legacy held 12,000 last year and after the PN-G side sold out, the Katy ISD sold SRO and opened up the LH side to PN-G.  The view from LH's side last year was great.

Very much this. Watching it live on TV is a game changer. It affects both side though to. LH people will stay home and watch to not have to drive. We'll still bring enough to create havoc

You are 100% correct.  The days of a single game having 49,000 are over.  Championship Friday and Saturday at AT&T where you have three games a day, maybe you will get a huge crowd.  But, times have changed.  Kids and families today have too many entertainment options.  Watching on TV at home or on an iPad or telephone are too easy.  That's OK.  The people there will be loud and create a home field advantage.

The days of having 30k fans at a state semi-final are over...gen z unless they have a friend or family member playing could care less about going to watch high school football...that and the advent of live streaming services has taken many fans from the seats and placed them at home

+1...it's high school football in Mid-County...the talent comes and goes.  Things will even out and circle back to where Nederland has a few years of talented kids with size and speed walking the halls.  Then, all of a sudden, Monte Barrow will be a great coach again.  Right now, the Indians are riding the wave of talented kids, good size on the OL/DL, and excellent coaching.  Anyone who has watched PN-G and Nederland football since the 1950s knows that the good times and bad times swing back and forth.

Badabing, anyone who has watched PNGs size difference the last couple of years and still says the kids are the same, is blind or stupid.  Ned has had superior lines in the past when PNG has not, this is high school, you don’t recruit size.  You can improve strength which Ned needs to focus on, but PNG owns the line against most 5As in the state right now

My man...you need to find some positive energy and go rally the Ned kids.  They are playing hard, giving what they got, and remember, they are 15-18 year old kids.  PN-G has had its share of down years.  It happens.  But, I don't think the Indian faithful would tear down their own kids or take pride in predicting a bad season.  That goes against our core values of Honor, Pride, and Tradition.  Hit the pause button and go support your kids, encourage them, love them, and thank them for busting their ass for all of our Friday night enjoyment.  Go Indians.  Peace.

Remember decades ago when area fans would make jokes about Vidor playing Interstate 10?
VHS - 0
Interstate - 10
Who would have ever imagined that area fans (and WO-S fans) would be making light of the fact that WO-S has a bye week?  I will say this, the bye week is undefeated.  I can't remember the last time the bye week lost to any opponent?  Bye week always holds teams scoreless.  I don't think the bye week feared Dan Hooks or Cornell Thompson so you know bye week will be ready for Coach Hickman.  Somewhere...Vidor fans and I-10 are smiling.

To the hardcore WO-S alums and fans, it's all in good fun.  No disrespect intended.  All SETX fans will tell you, the wins and losses are cyclical.  There are good years and some not so good years.  It happens to all programs.  Hang in there.  It will circle back around.

Maybe PAM is getting better week to week? That's what it looks like from the outside looking in.  I've seen two PAM games.  PN-G in week 1 and tonight's game vs. La Porte.  PAM has improved since the PN-G game.  The run game is solid.  The defense is solid.  The throws tonight were there...had three drops.  Reading this thread in hindsight, some of the PAM fans want the Titans to be playing their best ball in weeks 5 and 6. Take the Ws each week, identify the mistakes, and go to practice the next week to get better.  I want my team to be playing its best football in weeks 11-16, not week 1 or week 2 or week 5. If the QB is not running each time the Red Sea parts, no big deal.  As long as he is managing the game and taking care of the football, which he is, he will see the running lanes on the film.  He can run wild in weeks 11-16.  You guys hammer the PAM coaches when every little thing goes wrong.  What more can Coach Morgan do?  His staff obviously know their talent and how to make adjustments at the half.  That's coaching.  I'd be more worried if my team's coaches didn't make adjustments.  Also, it's crazy to expect 15-18 year old kids to play a perfect game. Drops happen.  Missed blocks on the bubble screen happen.  Cut them some slack and enjoy the Ws.  It's hard to win.  The other team's coaches get paid, too.  If winning was easy, everyone would be winning. I will echo the LP fan.  The PAM online broadcast is very well done.  I'm no fashion guy and I'm old, but the all red unis were hard on my eyes.  I like the all black PAM unis or the all white with the black/red trim.  I think PAM will be a tough out in weeks 11-16.

LP @ PAM or HF @ WO-S...close call on the game of the week.
Leaning toward the home teams.
