I posted these 1999 playoff game recaps on SETXSPORTS under the Astrodome FB memories thread.
PN-G vs Brazosport Friday November 26th 1999 in the Astrodome.
Brazosport came into this game with a perfect 12-0 record and a solid game plan to slow down Dustin Long and our Indians passing game. They held Dustin to 10 of 27 for only 169 yards and 1 TD.
Port Neches-Groves entered this game after whipping Waller 54-28 with a 11 and 1 record. The teams only loss came from WO-S 21-14. PN-G also played a close game in round one against Silsbee winning 17-10 at TJ's Stadium.
PN-G played n front of a crowd of 19000 that night. PN-G struggled with the good game plan of coach Fred Bolton who intended to slow down our passing attack. What coach Bolton didn't account for was the tackle trap which worked out for the Indians. J Bergeron finished the night with 97 yards on 12 carries. B Wortham finished the night with 75 yards on 12 carries and D. Long rushed for 73 yards on 10 carries. Long scored twice on rushes of 1 and 2 yards and also had a 59 yard run to set up a TD. Wortham scored on a 16 yard run. Long threw a TD to J. Price and T. Baxter scored once. J. Bergeron had a 2 point conversion. PN-G went into the half of this game up by a close score of 13-7. PN-G adjusted to the running game for the second half and jumped out to a 35-7 lead. The O-line consisting of C-Brent Powers, Tackles Blake Hopper and Wes Temple, and Guards David Crochet and Elliot Adams were the stars of the night for PN-G. Brazosport coach Fred Bolton was quoted as saying " Their line dominated us. I cant say enough about their line." PN-G's defense also had a big night holding Exporters star RB Shermark Francis to 17 rushes for 98 yards but only 8 yards in the second half. The Indians db J. Neeb also intercepted Brazosport's first drive of the second half to halt a promising scoring chance at the PN-G 30 yard line. PN-G ended up winning this game 35-21 after Brazosport scored 20 unanswered points very late in the game. I remember the Exporters had a receiver who was 6'7" tall who was a NBA stars grandson. I also remember them using the hook-and-ladder late when they were attempting to make their comeback. One of my fond memories from that night.....Lamarque's team doctor was sitting behind me watching this game he commented to me that we (Lamarque) are in trouble next week facing these Indians. At the time I didn't have a clue how right he was. PN-G finished the game with 24 first downs and 443 yards with 272 yards rushing and 144 of those yards came in the 2nd half. PN-G held Brazosport to 15 first downs and 324 yards.
