This point doesn't get enough attention, in my opinion.AAAAND we’ve maybe showed 1/10th of our offensive playbook
More (different) passes than runs we’ve shown
BUT I personally haven’t seen any wrinkles off of the Deep Adams set other than straight run
Also deep Isaiah we have basically run the inside toss (looks like a toss sweep but is off tackle -we have run the H back fumbleroosky but that’s about it
The rest is for the finals I believe
This coach isn’t playing for deep runs in the playoffs he’s playing for the ring
I think he’d just as soon lose in a last minute drive to Lake Creek as lose to Brenham in the first round. He wants to win it all. (Everyone wants to but I believe sometimes coaches pull the “look what we can do” when it’s not necessary)
We have jet sweeps, passes, etc coming off of that which they can only dream up in practice and scouting
They don’t have it on film
“Two score mentality” if we’re 2 scores. UpThis point doesn't get enough attention, in my opinion.
And we don't need to show more of our playbook until we really need to show more of our playbook, if you get my drift.
Nice write up but he's wrong on one point. This is the 12th time that PN-G has been to the quarterfinal round. And when the Indians make it this deep, they usually win this round. Winners in 9 out of 12 QF games.
Yeah, I presume it's a mis-type of some sort.Pretty glaring error on the part of the Chronicle.
I've received 3 emails so far from Ticketmaster, with various directions for displaying our tickets. Questions for anyone here that's familiar with Ticketmaster. Is their app required? Is digital wallet required? Every layer seems to require my credit card number.We've got our tickets. I dislike Ticketmaster. Hopefully we'll be able to get into the game, if I download the correct app, be able to log into the TM site (along with 15000 other people), then access the "special" app that I received an email about this afternoon, and by that time my phone battery doesn't die. They don't make this easy, and I'm tempted to go ahead and just go straight to the gate and pay for another ticket when I get there. Go Indians!

And another question. How do you pay for parking at NRG? I saw somewhere that cash is not accepted. Do you pre-pay somewhere? If so I haven't found the site yet.
All fine if they've been practiced and can be executed to perfection. Ball control is the name of the game and turning it over and not getting first downs with high percentage plays is counter to that. Long drives also keep the defense fresher. But I agree there are probably still some high percentage plays in the book that don't go between the tackles.AAAAND we’ve maybe showed 1/10th of our offensive playbook

If it's no cash they'll have a credit card reader.I've received 3 emails so far from Ticketmaster, with various directions for displaying our tickets.

yeah that's what I'm reading, cards or pre-pay only for parking, starting tomorrow.If it's no cash they'll have a credit card reader.

Technically, the article may may ot be "wrong", because the playoff structure changed over the last few years. Way back the, , the didn't have "Regional 1/4 finals", etcNice write up but he's wrong on one point. This is the 12th time that PN-G has been to the quarterfinal round.

Very good score predictions!Predictions from the Houston Chronicle:
Port Neches-Groves (12-1) vs. Huntsville (8-5) | Region III-5A Division II final
7 p.m. Friday at NRG Stadium
The Hornets have been one of the surprise teams of the Class 5A playoffs after going 5-5 and finishing third in their district during the regular season. They will meet their greatest challenge to date against No. 3 state-ranked Port Neches-Groves, which knocked off No. 1 Lake Creek last week. The Indians are in the regional championship for the second straight year and third time in program history. PNG knocked off Fort Bend Marshall at this juncture a year ago to reach the state semifinals. The Indians have won 23 of their last 25 games, the only losses coming in last year’s state final against South Oak Cliff and Week 1 this season against Port Arthur Memorial. PNG’s defense has improved from last year. The Indians are allowing 15.4 points per game, compared to 21.1 last season. Huntsville, which made the playoffs last year despite a sub-.500 record, is playing in the regional championship for the first time since 2018. The Hornets were 1-3 to begin this season and lost to Lake Creek and Randle in district play. Huntsville bounced back last week to defeat Randle 14-13 in the second meeting. Huntsville edged Texas City by three points in the bi-district round and soundly defeated Austin LBJ by 26 points in the area round. PNG and Huntsville played each other in non-district games in 2018 and 2019 with the Hornets winning both times. The winner of this contest will play Liberty Hill (9-4) or Pieper (12-1). Those teams will clash for the Region IV title Friday in San Marcos. — Rob Tate

Sounds about right. As far back as 1920, the first state championship year, bi-district, quarterfinal, semifinal and final were the established playoff rounds. The Regional round was added around 1974 and the Area round in the early 80's. Probably because of the increase in schools, classifications and sending more teams into the playoffs. There are possible variations over the years in different classifications, or historical realities that may have altered playoff schedules, but in general the sportswriter just slipped up. The final three rounds have always been quarterfinal, semifinal and final and we are in the QF round. Maybe he meant since 2000.Used to (back in the 70s) only the district winner went to the playoffs (why it’s called bi-district - used to be accurate)
Then in the 80s it became first and second place
But it’s always been 4 regions since the state championship has been a thing
Once upon a time regional was as far as you could go
(Anyone correct me if I’m wrong)
