PN-G offense impressive

By Gabriel Pruett

The News Sports Writer

 

PORT NECHES - Brant Halfin was running and Ky Walker was passing. The start to the 2014 Port Neches-Groves pre-season looked a lot like last season.

PN-G outscored Little Cypress-Mauriceville 14-0 in a live quarter and did the exact same to Hamshire-Fannett.

Halfin had 89 yards in the two quarters while Walker threw three touchdowns in relief of PN-G starting quarterback Adam Morse. Morse left the field after the controlled scrimmage portion of the night with back spasms and did not return.

PN-G coach Brandon Faircloth said he expected Morse to make a full recovery but will talk with doctors and Morse over the weekend.

“Hopefully we can get Adam fixed up but what a good night for Ky,” Faircloth said. “I have never seen such an unselfish player in my entire career. Whatever we ask Ky to do is what Ky does.”

Walker was the starting quarterback in 2013 for the Indians and threw for over 2,000 yards. Faircloth named Morse the starter for the 2014 season at the Indians first practice this season in a move to help PN-G in the secondary. Walker led the Indians with four interceptions as a sophomore as a cornerback.

Walker said it will not matter to him if by next week Morse is back under center and he is playing in the secondary

It was only a scrimmage, but I thought the Indians looked good at this point. The defense was better than expected and the offense was clicking. There were a few hiccups, but nothing to get worried about. Great crowd and a great night for football. Looking forward to the games now!

On a side note, HF and LCM looked pretty good too. The LCM QB has an arm! If he ever can sync up with some recievers, they will be dangerous. LCM badly needs a punter though...

Kinda hard to really get much out of this.Defense pounced on just about every fumble I saw, not sure how our secondary will be, they have some speed but at times looked lost. This is only the first practice will surely get better with more practice. OFFENSE looked out of sinc a few plays but stepped it up nicely , tailback did his thing, wideouts are big and have good hands, expect to see good things from these youngsters. West brook should be a better scrimmage to give us an idea. Overall good scrimmage and great night of high school ball.
