Huntsville (29) @ Port Neches-Groves (39) - FINAL

[Reagan]

There were extended timeouts which, at the time, appeared to be TV/commercial related.  Fact:  There was a lady on Huntsville's sideline that during these extended periods would be on the field about 3-4 yards.  There either would be an official or non official standing next to her.  The play would not start until she said so.  She did this by rotating her arm in the fashion of when the ref wants the clock to start.  She rotated her arm, the ref blew the whistle and the teams returned to the field and play resumed.  

I believe Huntsville broadcast their games.  I thought the extended timeouts were related to this.  I saw the scissor lifts and thought the same.  I also saw 2 high quality cameras on the top row on the 50 yard line fenced off in purple fencing.  Interestingly, I never saw anyone operate these cameras.  Now, were they being remotely operated?  Didn't watch long enough to tell.  But, I did periodically look and they never seem to move from the original spot I first saw.  So, again, not sure what the deal was.

Again-  the game was broadcast on Victory + which is a Television broadcast.  Same app to watch the Dallas Stars and Texas Rangers.  Exact same app on tv. 
those were legit TV timeouts.  Victory + broadcasts one game a week.  Also playoffs if i remember correctly. 
huntsville had a nice online broadcast as did NDN press, but the main cameras were a legitimate TELEVISION broadcast. 
the victory + app is free by the way.

Question: is this Coach Joseph best complete team he's had while at PNG?

It definitely seems like it at this point in the season.

Like I stated, the extended timeouts are for Television, not Texan Live which was stated in a prior post.

That was what I was pointing out.

Appreciate you clearing that up. I was not aware that Victory was doing the game.

First of all I love PNG football, but I try to be realistic. It looked to me like Huntsville was fixing to beat PNG. I think that there is a timing issue with QB and receivers, several passes in this game and others this year have been 2 or 3 feet off. I think it is going to hurt them against better teams. I don't know if it's true or just my take but it seems like the first year this QB and his receivers were much more precise than what I'm seeing now. It is my opinion that it is a natural talent for a QB to hit receivers on the run, it's something that drills can improve but not produce. To answer Mr BG, I don't think they are the best complete team Coach has had, but I do believe they have a shot at being as good as any of the previous ones.

There are not TV timeouts in high school unless the game is actually on TV.

If the breaks were long it was only because the officials were slow. It wasn't because of Texan Live doing the game.

They had an official just like the pros and college football come onto the field after the extra point and hold their arm up. Another official, actually officiating the game, standing next to them. When the commercials were done the "media official" would rotate their arm as if to start the clock and the actual official would call the teams onto the field to line up for the kick-off. There were stints anywhere between 3 to 5 minutes in between extra point and kick-off. Sounds like commercial breaks to me. There were three camera's on sissor lifts. Two behind the visitor stands and one by the field house.

But you stated it was for Texan Live. That is not the case. It was for Victory broadcast which is actually on TV. 

There are no TV timeouts for Texan Live broadcast. Just TV broadcast. That's what I was pointing out.

Not even close to his first year squad. They were hands down better. Any of these rah rahs say different they don’t know squat about football.

I hear ya.

Each year teams tend to take on their own identity.  There are several factors that help make that team (returning starters, experience, depth, health, strength of schedule, etc.)  To compare apples to apples, the 2022 PN-G team through 5 games was 3-2, and this year's team is 5-0, so it could be argued that it could be the more complete team.  We shall see.

A state finalist in 2022 and state championship in 2023 would take a "pretty complete team".  I believe early indications are the 2025 Indians have as good a chance at getting to the title game as both of those teams.

I often say this when you put hands down in your posts you are saying to everyone this is my strong opinion not actually a fact about your statement. Next time try to artuculate a reason why you believe your opinion to be true. Now thats not saying your wrong howevet it says to me you could have a bias for some reason or another. For example this years defense is smaller and faster like his first defense this is one reasin I think people are comparing  them. Also we are throwing more with a better overall group of recivers. Like his first year. Matbe thats why they feel that way. Who knows.
