Barbers Hill v. PNG

[Rez Ipsa]

Let's hear it. 

[Guest ECBucFan]

No way BH can play as bad as they did this week. BH will rebound strong and roll PN-G. 

[chief1987]

Gonna take the Indians in this one. By 3.

[Reagan]

Going to have to think about this one.

At this point I couldn’t tell ya😩 I would like to think BH has dropped their turd this year, wiped and ready to move forward😂. This is a very important game for both teams, if PNG wins they are pretty much garunteed a 1 or 2 seed going into the playoffs. If BH wins their hope is still alive to try for the 2 seed ,but have to get by Nederland . Good news for BH is that we have PNG and NED at home his year, so the home crowd will be behind you. Should be a good game, but If PNG comes to town with what Crosby threw at us on defense then were in trouble.

If I’m able to go to this game, I’ll actually be on the home side too 😂. I’ll be sitting with my relatives who have kids at Barbers Hill.

This game comes down to defense pressuring the QB.  If either team has time to throw they can pick the defenses apart.  

PNG must run the football successfully to set-up the pass, if not, Indians are in trouble.  However, remember Bost can run!

Barbers Hill can score quickly if they are executing the offense.  PNG must run on offense & slow down the game.

I truly believe this one can go either way.  Praying for no injuries to either team for remainder of district.🙏🏈

PNG by 23.

Hope your on the winning side😂

Bost was a handful for BH last year and if it wasn’t for a late 4th quarter pick PNG was driving and may have scored The game winner. I think BH beat PNG by 5 last year and that was our first win ever over PNG with all contest being within a TD. BH will have to step up big this Friday to win.

PNG by 10

[LEEROY Jenkinss]

PNG 45-24

I bet Barbers Hill takes this one.

If BH is going to ever earn that preseason ranking, it better start this week. 

[Rez Ipsa]

I feel confident for PNG. BH strikes me as kind of soft, and not particularly fast. PNG’s one major Achilles heal has been handling a fast running QB, and BH doesn’t seem to have that. And their passing game has not been especially dangerous, at least as compared to PNG. Even setting aside the Crosby game, BH doesn’t strike me as being definitely better than PNG. One area BH looked really strong in against PAM was its defensive line, and that was clear against Crosby as well. I’d definitely say that BH has a better defense than PNG, but not so much better that PNG won’t be able to move the ball. Also, BH’s offense seems to be the kind that PNG defense can deal with (no shifty, unpredictable QB with game-breaking speed like PAM, Beaumont United, and Nederland). PNG seems to have more weapons on offense too, and a clearly better, faster QB. The best comparison to BH on PNG’s schedule is Tomball - bigger school, not clearly better than PNG in any one area. PNG had that game in the bag, but for one or two significant mistakes, which have not repeated since. So if PNG avoids mistakes, it can look forward to a win. We also can’t ignore the BH implosion against Crosby - whatever problems led to that don’t just disappear overnight. I could be wrong, but I’m comfortable putting PNG as a one-score winner.

I should clarify what I mean by “BH seems kind of soft.” I don’t mean BH is a weak team, or that they don’t play with toughness. Their performance against PAM was plenty tough. I DO mean they don’t appear as big, athletic, fast, or in sync with one another as last year. They very well might be much better than I’m predicting, but after Crosby, they have to show it against PNG.

Don't know much about the Antmound? Do they run the football well?

They are similar to PNG -- A lot of play action with QB run.

Calpreps.com  has it png 35-21.    It’s pretty amazing how close they get a lot of the time

[Davidp0403]

Even for kicks I was curious how close they would get so I projected Pam vs png,  and mcm.    The results was that they had Pam winning by a td and mcm 30-28 in favor of png

The big question is will groves brush each others hair on the sideline or will the barbers take care of it for them

PNG expects the hosts to provide hair brushes (it's the only gentlemanly thing to do), but they can brush their own hair.

I would love to say your wrong and smack talk this one till game time, but I think your spot on. This years BH team just cannot seem to get in sync with each other and not sure why. I have thought for years that this may be BH’s best team because of what the SR and JR class has accomplished athletically in their past. Plus we returned a ton from last years team that played so well. If BH wants to get back on track this is the game to make it happen. Hoping BH finds their stride and starts playing like the can.

We might both be wrong. But it's been known to happen for a team that looks like it should be good to not meet expectations. It's not like PNG hasn't been frustrating to watch at times, though I think they've mostly played well despite a swiss-cheese run defense. In 1999 PNG went to state. In 2000 PNG returned a substantial portion of the starters from that team (minus the QB) and was ranked in the top ten (they may have been ranked #1 for all I know) and went 5-5. BH IS missing key pieces from last year - A lineman the size of Texas who is now at USC and the highly competent and accurate QB from last year. That doesn't mean they won't put it together. I just hope they don't put it together until next week
