Dave cambells review of the game--usually no love for Nederland

[dogbite]

Nederland 22, Pearland Dawson 19 (OT)
Pick: Pearland Dawson
What actually happened: This was a sensational finish, but truth told, large stretches of this game were a little vanilla. And you know what? That's probably precisely why Nederland won; their balance and poise offers more substance than style, and that meat-and-potatoes approach was the difference until Pearland Dawson rallied for 16 unanswered points from the final play of the third quarter through the final play of the fourth (a 32-yard field goal to send it to overtime). Dawson appeared to have all the momentum then, but the Nederland defense forced a short field goal to set up a game-winning opportunity on the next drive of extra time. Once there, QB Carson Raines eluded pressure in the pocket, rolled to his left, and hit Seth Barrow for a walkoff 25-yard touchdown pass to send the Golden Triangle into mass hysteria. That last throw was a thing of beauty; across his body, under pressure, into coverage ... it doesn't get much better than that. To beat the best — Dawson was 4A's top-ranked team — you have to be the best, and Nederland was this weekend.

That's why they play the game.  Great job 'Dawgs...keep it rolling.

hahaha no mention of the 0:00 Field goal .... just the game tying field goal... I guess that won't be addressed....

and you're surprised?  ANY team that isn't from the DFW area will never get love from DCF magazine.....not even news worthy

Don't put much faith in anything he puts a ranking to. He prob didn't even attend the game let alone watch it.

Great analysis from somebody's couch in Fort Worth. Not.

This past weekend with the #1 and #5 teams in 4A squaring off in beautiful Reliant stadium, DCTF chose to broadcast from Royse City Texas watching Frisco Centennial and Red Oak (all three are Dallas Area)!
