We cannot hold a offense on 3rd and long!!!! Give up WAY to many big plays. I haven't seen us hardly put pressure on the QB all year.
In other news, it looked like our defensive leader Hughes substain a serious new injury.
Coach need to tape the football to McZeils hands during the week. Kid has serious talent, but needs to have the drive and work ethic Sparks has. If Sparks had McZeils body.... WOW!!!!!!

Good W vs. an improved Ozen team. OL played well vs an Ozen defense that was tall, had some length on the DL / DE and some quickness in the secondary. Ozen has gotten better from years past. They have a good coach, and if they keep him and let him install a program, he will have tough teams year in and year out. I thought PN-G got a lucky break on the Ozen pooch kick. I don't understand why the Ozen player could not make a play on the ball when it is in the air? Any referees out there? The run game was there for PN-G all night. Nice game PN-G OL! 2 and 3 yard pops, followed by a 10-12-14 yard run. Halfin ran tough and secured the ball. A credit to the OL. On defense, we played hard, chased the OB, but could not get to him often enough. That's OK, we has some pressure and played hard. We had some bend, but did not break. That is HS football. As long as the kids play hard, what more can you ask for? Our secondary gave up some throws, but we did not get beat deep and our DBs created some takeaways when the opportunity was there. Love the DB play of #23, #12, #3, and #9. Its ok to give up some throws. The other team is going to make some plays. But, the Indians don't get beat deep and they swipe INTs when the ball is not well thrown by the other team. On special teams, why don't we kick FGs? When it is 4th and 8 and we are in the red zone, give the FG kicker a shot. He's pretty good on PATs and shows some pop on the ball. Not complaining, just asking. Very proud of the coaches and players. The team was fired up and ready to play, no hang-over from Nederland. Good job coaches. The players were resilient and played hard. On defense, #41, #48, #47, #22, #5, they all chase the ball. Good job!
On to the Central Jaguars. Saturday, Nov. 1 will be tough physical game. Central will be the most physical team PN-G has faced all year.
How is #22? OK? On a different note...#5 for PN-G is not the biggest guy in the world, but he is ALWAYS around the football...on defense and special teams, that guy finds the football. Some guys have instinct and good things happen. That is #5 for PN-G. He just shows up around the football on defense and special teams.
Go Indians. Peace.

89Indian on the Ozen attempt at an onside kick the Ozen kicker made one huge mistake and the PNG player made a very smart play (coaching) that the kid from Ozen didn't make on the opening kickoff by PNG.
Ozen kicker kicked the ball up allowing PNG player to signal fair catch. Once the signal is given the PNG player must be allowed to attempt to catch the ball. Think fair catch on Punts and the one yard Halo around the punt returner. Its exactly the same on any kickoff that doesn't touch the ground first. The Ozen kid had to let the PNG player attempt to catch the ball before he could and he didn't. He jumped into his space and caught it before PNG player could make the attempt.
This is why onside kicks are kicked into ground first trying to create a high bounce. Then you cant fair catch.
Ozen player on opening kick should have waved fair catch, but he didn't and we got the ball. To me I thought it was poor coaching on Suggs part to think our special teams had not been coached up to not fall for the same thing they did earlier on what would most likely be an onside late in the game.
