[center][b][size=12pt]2011 Record: 7-4 Overall, 5-2 District (20-4A Runner up)[/center]

[size=12pt]For the second straight season, the Port Neches-Groves Indians made their fans a little nervous by dropping the first two games of their district 20-4A.  But again, after the second loss the Indians would not lose another district game and would secure yet another trip to the playoffs for this storied high school football program.  This year, Coach Brandon Faircloth will be charged with one of his younger squads...only nine starters return from the 2011 squad, but he is ready to lead the Indians to another playoff appearance.

[size=14pt][b][u]2012 Offense[/u][/b][/size]

[size=12pt][b]Offense: Multiple/Spread
Returning starters: 4[/b]

The PN-G offense will see a number of new faces, primarily at the skilled positions as only four starters return from last year's squad.  Stepping in to run the Indian spread offense will be senior A.J. Smith, who although he has seen very little action on the varsity level (2-2, 19 yd in limited varsity play last year) is getting the interest of a few colleges.  Among those who will be stepping in to carry the running load will be senior Spencer Wommack ( 13 carries, 71 yd, 1 TD in 2011).  Leading the Indian receivers will be junior Logan Chipman (1st team all district, 33 catches, 353 yd, 4 TD in 2011).  He will be joined by junior receiver Jeremiah Rose and senior tight end Tim Clopton.  The Indians do return experience on the offensive line in senior Justin Reasons (2nd team all district in 2011) and juniors Alan Sorriano and Chris Mangini.     


[size=14pt][b][u]2012 Defense[/u][/b][/size]

[size=12pt][b]Defense: 3-4
Returning starters: 5[/b]

The Indian defense will also return five starters on defense.  Up front, senior Josh Riley will be called upon to lead a line which should also include newcomers senior Steven Mangini and junior Austin Milan.  Returning starters Dalton Peveto and Logan Warlick will anchor a linebacker corp which will also include senior Dillard Youngblood.  Senior cornerback Kaleb Clark (2nd team all district in 2011) will team with fellow senior Dillon Hebert to provide the backbone of the Indian secondary.


[size=14pt][b][u]2012 Key games[/u][/b][/size]

Port Neches-Groves will begin the regular season in Silsbee on August 31st with another 21-3A team, West Orange-Stark, visiting a week later.  The Indians will host Lumberton on September 28th to begin district 20-4A play.  Nederland crosses the railroad tracks for the annual Mid-County Madness game on October 19th.  The Indians will finish the regular season in Livingston on November 9th.

png should be decent defensively.if the d-line can gel they could be pretty darn good.the offense has a lot of ??? but the offensive line isnt one of them.they will be solid on the o-line.if a few skill players step up png will make its 4th straight playoff appearance.

Personally PNG will have a very balanced team on both sides of the ball. The D will be better than last years IMO. AJ is a very good QB and can sling the ball. Great receiving core to toss the ball too this year. Running back is small but very fast and quick. Should be another great season for the Indians.

Scooter, you are like a broken record. Since there are four teams from this district going to the playoffs, I'm willing to bet that PNG will be one of them. Would a friendly wager be in order? I'll bet you a platter of 50 Buffalo Wild Wings that PNG Makes the playoffs! How about it?

My prediction, 7-3. (Maybe 8-2)
[/quote]

That's about what I'm thinking.

What you thinking on Brenham's season?

Probably undefeated again in district. If you get one loss its by a fluke thing. Seems like ya'll have dominated your district for a while now. You know better than we do about the teams in your district. You always have those 2-3 teams that just keep it close.
Good luck this year, hope all stay healthy and injury free.

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
