Nacogdoches vs Jacksonville

Recommended Posts

After being on the road for two straight weeks Nacogdoches returns home to face the Jacksonville Indians who are 1-2 in  district play. Nac is still alive for a playoff spot at 1-2 after a close win against MP but there isn’t much room for error. If we play jax like we did MP in the First half this game might be over by halftime if we play like we did in the 2nd half then Jax will leave Nac with a W. 
im picking Nac just for the sake of it but this game makes me nervous.

IMHO..... this game boils down to Jacksonville's ability to hang on to the ball and not turn it over.

If Jax doesn't turn it over.... I think they win pretty handily.  but if they turn it over..... Nac may hang around and get the win.

I honestly think Jax's offense is going to give Nac fits.  

I'm not sold on Nac's offense being able to keep up.

This will be the 71st meeting between the teams. The series is tied 33-33-4, these two teams play some crazy games including a 12OT and a 5OT game. Nac has won the last two, but haven’t faired well when a playoff spot is on the line. Nac has a solid defense if the offense will stop turning the ball over. Offense gave MP 23 points in the 3rd qtr vs MP due to turnovers and a sack in the end zone. 
 

Winner of this one is still in play for the 4th spot and loser is done. 
 

Nac still has Marshall and Texas High Left.

Jax  has Texas high and Whitehouse  left.

Nac found their running game against MP and their defense played really well. The 6 minute stretch in the 3rd qtr almost cost what was otherwise the Dragons best game to date. Hoping Nac can take this game at home, and then hopefully beating Hallsville next week gives us a chance of getting to the last week of the season and setting up a win and in game vs Marshall for the 4 seed. 

still have to win this week-baby steps!!!

Winner of this game is 2-2 and depending on what happens between WH and Marshall would move into the 4 Spot for at least a week. The loser is 1-3 and would need some help. 

Nac has Hallsville, Texas High and Marshall left-A Nac win against Jax would give Nac H2H vs MP and Jax-Nac would have to beat Hallsville to set up a win and in game the last week of the season with Marshall. A Nac loss would not eliminate them as they could still beat Marshall and have a 3 way tie(this is assuming a Marshall loss to WH)

Jacksonville has Texas High, Whitehouse and Mount Pleasant left-A Jax win against Nac means Jax would more than likely have to beat 2 of the final 3 teams on their schedule to get in. A Jax loss would pretty much eliminate them having H2H losses to both Marshall and Nac-unless they beat WH or TH.

MP can still enter the race with a win  over Hallsville having Jax, Marshall and PT left-they would need to beat Jax plus one other and not tie Nac in the standings.

 

I know this is still early but playing the scenario game is fun!!!

Not sure about the freshmen game but Nac’s JV won tonight 28-14

Nac Freshman win 28-21 after being down 21-6 at halftime. Nac. ran over Jacksonville on the ground in the 2nd half. Nac had 2 backs both go over 150 yards for the game, both breaking long runs in the 2nd half. Nac has two huge backs on the freshman team, not super fast but a load to bring down. They just wore Jax down.

Win tonight and we are in the conversation, lose this and we are in trouble. Jax has a tough schedule left, with MP/TH/WH left. We will be scoreboard watching the Marshall/Whitehouse game. Either way the 4th spot looks to be coming down to the last week of the season

Hallsville forfeits to Mt. Pleasant. Helps, the Tigers, affects that 4th spot some.

MP was penciled in to win that game anyway.

MP has Marshall, PT and Jax left and can not afford another loss. 

MP is now 1-3 in district, 4 losses would probably eliminate them. MP would have to run the table and not tie Nac as Nac has H2H. They need a Jax victory against Nac, beat Jax and then have Nac lose to Marshall to end the season to get in. 

A Nac win tonight is going to make it tough for MP to get in unless they win out.
