That was a great moment. Then they decided to boo our band and do the Neck chant. Wiped all that good will out. 

Wow, didn't realize what that was. That is very disappointing.

The officials did good job tonight. Only thing I question was the illegal substitution call when Nederland called a TO… other than that Nederland has to clean up the penalties… 

TO didn’t matter. That was the second time they broke the huddle with 12 and they ran one off. First time PNG coaches went nuts and the officials discussed it after the play. They should have thrown flag both times as soon as they broke the huddle. They have one job when teams are in huddle and they blew it.

Unless the TO was called before the huddle was broke… i believe that’s what Rich was trying to argue to the refs. .But that is water under the bridge that 1 penalty wouldn’t have saved the game or anything…

Joseph and company took our staff to school. Congrats to the Injuns....

It was after the huddle broke and they were already in formation and 12th player had run off when he called TO. That’s why he called TO. Thought he could make that argument. It almost worked 🤣.

PNG destroyed Texas City 55-23 and Dayton 42-0 and had backups in the 3rd Qtr. in both games.  We'll see how Nederland responds.

Good game, Nederland.  Evenly matched game that could have gone either way.  Both teams played hard and played well.  Glad PN-G won, glad no one was seriously injured on either team, and see the Dogs again at MCM in baseball season.  GO INDIANS.

Valcin missed most of the game. Looked like shoulder. We missed him. 

[Smashem1984]

Why did the Coaches not go with the QB Collins player on last drive??? He can run and scramble a lot better and that sack killed us. Either way  Big Ned was out coached again. Also what is up with the players wearing gold jerseys on the sidelines? I feel some of them play JV and curious why they are dressed in shorts and gold jerseys and not playing.

Nederland will beat them senseless just like PNG did. The district is pathetically weak outside of PNG and Nederland. Whoever finishes as the 3rd and 4th place teams will be embarrassed in Bi-District and they know it.

As i stated above. You are far better than both of them.

The 1st quarter blocked field goal was looming large as the game went on.  And a couple of missed passes later on.  

 

The Santa Fe - Baytown Lee game looks like it was a good one as well.  We have Lee and GP left; and Ned has TC and Dayton.  One never knows what can happen with TC.  And Ned - Dayton games seem to always be close games.  We'll see what happens.

Great game.  I knew this one was going to be close. The Dogs showed up and reminded me of the glory days when Neumann paced the sidelines.  I know coach Spell was grinning watching the D line tonight.  I think Nederland didn’t utilize Ned or Clay enough down the stretch.  Better play calling on the purple side. The refs were ok.  I don’t think png got any holding calls all night.  Sorry I had to stick that in there.  All and all it’s not a bad loss.

Side comment:  I've been saying for the past several years that refs don't seem to flag offensive holding like they used to.  "used to" = say, 5+ years ago or so.  Maybe there were some rule changes, IDK.

We had two holding calls on the long TD drive to open the second half!

I don’t think it matters who is in when all you do is play action and their defense of end is coming staright for the qb everytime, so everytime he looks up he can’t do anything.

PNG gave the ball to their best player and told him to go win the game.  
 

Nederland’s 2 best watched from the sidelines a lot at the end.

Maybe it was a God thing.  Their students and fans were over there blaspheming, so there's that.

If Ned had a passing game, I think they could go a long way. The guys in the trenches are very good

I agree.

That running into the kicker that png got a first down and then a touchdown will haunt the dogs for a very long time…
