FINAL: PN-G 31, Texarkana Texas High 28

[IndianFan]

I went back to the NDN Press YouTube channel to rewatch the end of the game and it is now blocked because it contains content from SME (Sony Music Entertainment). The algo must have detected the music blaring over the loudspeakers in the stadium,

What the heck was all that about anyway? Did the host site require that music was to be played? It’s a high school game, not college or pro.

I don’t know but it was terrible. And inappropriate playing over the school band music. Hoping they never play in that stadium again.

Whoever was in charge of that is an idiot

Thoughts on the game:
* Jackson Christian blew-up the line of scrimmage on Texas High's FG try and the Indians got to the kicker for the block. Not sure who blocked the kick, but the Indians caved-in that line of scrimmage and we had some kids on top of the holder and kicker. That play wasn't luck. It was EXECUTED.
* I've been a critic of the OC all season. Tonight, he called a great game. Staying committed to the run game with #27, the screen pass, spreading the ball around to #11, #44, #17, and of course, the creative Wildcat pass to #44. Nice job by the OC...we may be seeing his growth in the position.
* #27 had a great game. He ran hard, took some shots, held on to the football, and he kept giving the Indians positive yards. GREAT JOB!
* If any PNG fan needs to know why Chief Jeff Joseph and Warrior DC Matt McDaniel are two of the best coaches in the entire State of Texas, flip on the flim of the 2023 state championship game vs. SOC, and flip on the flim of this game vs. THS. You talk about game managment. You talk about overcoming adversity. You talk about winning DNA. PNG Chief Joseph and DC McDaniel are head and shoulders above everyone else.
* Yes, our secondary is not All-American, but I give those guys credit for having the balls to keep competing. Yes, we give up huge chunk plays and TD bombs. Still, they keep competing and giving us the best effort they have. That means something to me. And, oh by the way, they made a few plays---got a great INT.
* We need to work on the PAT and FG kicking game. It's not just the kicker's fault. The snapper and holder need to execute. Let's get that kicking game tightened up.
* To the 7,500 - 8,000 PNG fans in attendance, we sounded like 20,000. Not the biggest crowd, but we were into the game and I think we had an effect lifting up our kids. What a game.
* I could say more, but I'm too tired. I'm drained from the game. Crashing here at Toledo Bend...driving home tomorrow.
GO INDIANS!!!

FANTASTIC analysis! Get some rest and safe travels home from the lake tomorrow.

My understanding is that Kyle Field doesn’t allow HS games anymore

I hope they try it at least, maybe they could get a large high school stadium near there. It needs to be as evenly spaced as possible and on a Friday.

What a game by PNG but them TH players showed class I didn’t expect, They played very clean and I didn’t spot any purple gloves lmao

Wait until we play SOC next week. Half of their team will be wearing purple gloves to try and hide the holds. #cheaters

It was very inappropriate.
But we did pierce through it. Just like the game. Way too much distracting noise.
I kept having visions of an Indian climbing up and replacing it with a tiny speaker.

 

[tony79]

So did anyone find out why the choir was missing for the national anthem?
I was sitting on the 50 mid way up and could barely hear our band the whole time.
The cheerleaders were missing their pom poms. Couldn't hear them either.
The announcer announced the 75 year old tradition war chant that was not done because we are not at home. The good sportsmanship was also announced but was not done.
The pre game show was a complete bust. The PNG fans sang the national anthem.

Halftime show was good by PNG. TH not so much.
We of course vastly outnumbered TH.
It was amazing to hear us shout defense, war chant, etc. the whole game. In spite of the PA.
Somewhere in the 4th quarter we could see how frustrated TH was. That was when things got a little chippy briefly. Some of the PNG players were so funny falling down, acting.

 

[NDNband69]

Unbelievable game by all involved from PNG!!! It’s in our DNA!

I see we’ve finally earned the “s” in Groves.

I had to step away, and when I came back there was a sideline huddle, and I saw J. Christian in the huddle and the coach talking to him and thought, wait a sec, what happened? Then when TH lined up for the fg attempt I realized that Jackson was playing defense. Man what a great game. We should have legitimately won by 2 TDs, too. I think Laporte played us a better game. Now on to SOC, and the underdog again.

 

[tony79]

It was an unforgettable game.
I hope to watch it several times this week if possible. Come on NDNpress. Filter it out and publish. Please

 

[IndianFan]

Yes. We scored 5 touchdowns and missed 4 PATs (3 kick attempts and a 2 point attempt). Could have easily been 6 TDs if not for the fumble inside the TH 5 yard line on the long reception. 42-28 was very reachable. But a win is a win and it is a great accomplishment.

It is possible to do but would require a lot of work and then any overlap of game commentary with that music mess would probably need to be cut. The easiest approach, which would be a disservice to the NDN Press crew doing the commentary, is to turn off the audio track, republish the video with no sound. It would be great if their editing software has an AI feature that can somehow remove music automatically.

Also btw, I can't get NDN Press replay either. I want to see the fg attempt again, maybe will try NFHS. Last night on NDNP, the camera panned to the goal posts, then panned back, but the kick had already been blocked so I wasn't sure who blocked it. Did we miss 3 PATs or 4?

 

[IndianFan]

As others have been saying, this team has options and depth that have not been seen much. Or slowly revealed in the later part of the season. Wuenschell at QB running and throwing for scores, Christian on special teams blocking kicks, Nunley in the defensive backfield. And some yet to be revealed until the time is right. Dare to imagine and believe. That’s what the coaches and players are doing. Next week someone else will step up and make some huge plays.

No audio would be better than nothing.

Jaxson Doyle blocked it after Jackson Christian paved the way. We missed 3 PATs and a 2 point try. Even the backup kicker went in for a try and missed. Just a weird night for kicks - maybe the cold weather affected those guys? Regardless, the good guys found a way to win again. It was a heck of a game and the playoff feeling was back! Those boys needed that type of win to light a fire in their belly and to believe they can beat anyone in front of them.

how do you get past the paywall? I tried archive.md. Maybe I didn't do it right.

Another hour or less and the PNG parking lot will begin filling up. Not long after that a purple line will form around the stadium waiting for the gates to open.

So proud of Indian Nation turnout for this Round 3 Regional game. Crowd made a difference. At start of game Indian Nation s if you change your walk in with a buddy, if you were that have kids, you know there’s a crazy from the hotel bella girls

They play one of the songs we played at halftime over the PA
Sort of weird if you ask me

the homer announcer thinks the game is all about him. PA music try’s to silence our band and Indian Nation.
