PN-G has yet to fire on all cylinders but remains good enough to stay undefeated. Defensive lapses continue to be the greatest weakness.

Huntsville keeps chugging along.

Montgomery remains a threat to any team.

Nederland belied it's critics and is in position to make the playoffs.

Lake Creek falls yet again. They are not the team that everyone expected.

Splendora, West Fork and Dayton continue to be overwhelmed by the top teams.

Still not sure of the 3 way tiebreaker rules, that would be good to know. But looks like PNG, Montgomery, and Nederland should be in the playoffs at this point. Huntsville still has Road games against Lake Creek and Nederland to play, which is the only chance now for Lake Creek to get in.

Montgomery could still technically lose its last three and Lc would be in as long as they win out (would have to beat Huntsville). If Montgomery only loses two of the last three they’d still have the tie breaker over LC. PNG or Ned can lose the last three and still be in over LC. Huntsville would have to lose to Ned and Lc to miss.

So, I’m not taking anything away from Nederland because they’ve improved A LOT, and definitely look LEGIT! However…I could be wrong, but MLC just seems like one of those teams that can’t rebound after a difficult loss because they just don’t look like the same team we saw! Kinda reminds me of FBM…they rolled into The Reservation last season wanting revenge after losing to us in the playoffs and when that didn’t happen…they just imploded…lost to TC, got BEAT DOWN by a struggling Nederland team, and knocked out by Randle in the first round of the playoffs!
Just my observation for whatever it’s worth!

That’s probably part of it. As a program, they have no experience overcoming losses to play well later. 2022 was their first good season, and their only losses came in the playoffs. Losing at all in district is uncharted territory for this group, and then losing two in a row was absolutely not where they thought they would be.

I also think they create a matchup problem for themselves on defense that any decent team can exploit, no matter what their record is. They basically set themselves up where one guy will have a chance to make a play, and if he misses the tackle no one else will be in position to do it. Nederland just had to wait for their chance , and LC gave it to them.
