bordertown Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Matchup goes out of state to Louisiana. PNG has an offense that can put points (40+) on the board and a defense giving up 30+ points. This game will test the defenses of both teams. I believe the game will be decided by the Tiger secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerDorn Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 big test this week but coach aj Wilson has secondary playing with some confidence. 15 ints between just 2 players safety 21 and corner 22 Thomas who has # 8 last night . Safety #4 j Jones picked up int 5 last night after having some what slow year for a 3 year starter but he does play big part in run game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longview used Independence Stadium for their home stadium in a flip with Mesquite Horn back in 2010. Longview/Lufkin almost happened at NSU back in 2017 because they didn’t know if Homer Bryce was going to be available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longview played Mesquite Horn in the quarters (4th round) in Shreveport back in 2010. But with that, Horn loss the flip. With this, it seems random.

Must have been a conflict (or prior reservation between teams) at Homer Bryce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bordertown Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 My initial observation is PNG success relies on outscoring their opponents (Thank you Captain Obvious). The Indians defense has given up 394 points (32.8 ppg). Their lone shutout was was to Santa Fe, a team that scored 30 points all season. So you have to discount that game. Their defense has given up 35 or more points five times. In their last game the defense gave up over 300 yards rushing to the Memorial running back. This bodes will for the Texas High rushing attack. On the other side of the ball PNG can score. They are averaging 42.8 points a game with 7 games in excess of 40 points. On the face, it appears Texas High should be able to move the ball on PNG. The key to the game in my humble opinion will be whether the Tiger defense can slow down the Indian’s offense. Specifically, can the Tiger secondary continue with their opportunistic ways. Secondarily can the Tiger offense win the time of possession, keep the defense rested, and put their season average of points on the board (35 ppg).

Highland Park was PO'd. We won coin toss and they kept claiming no East Texas venues had the capacity to handle their crowd. So we took them to Independence Stadium. They were not amused.
