LITTLE CYPRESS - The Port Neches-Groves Indians stuck to their bread and butter on offense Tuesday night and it worked to almost perfection.
The plan was obvious to stick to the running game and wear down the Little Cypress-Mauriceville Battlin’ Bears.
PN-G (3-0, 1-0) trounced LC-M’s (0-2, 0-1) defense for 323 yards on the ground en route to a 34-7 victory to open the District 20-4A schedule for both teams.
Josh Wright was the workhorse for the Indians on this night as the senior bruised his way for 155 yards on 20 carries with three scores.
LC-M was outgained 412-145 in the game. PN-G also led with 23 first downs compared to just nine for the Bears.
While the Indians offense was steam rolling, the defense was punishing especially in the first half.
The Bears
Blake Perry led the Bears with 29 yards on six carries and sophomore quarterback Hunter Gonzales continued to show potential.
Gonzales was 9-for-18 passing for 50 yards with no interceptions. The Bears lone score came in the fourth quarter on a halfback option as Chad Humphrey hooked up with Samuel Burton in the back of end zone to seal the final score.
PN-G only scored once in the entire second half after putting up 28 points in the first two frames.
The second half score came with 7:59 left in the game as Jareb Logan found paydirt from 1-yard out. It was the Indians next to last drive of the night and PN-G did a great job running down the clock.
The scoring drive started on the PN-G 23 yard line and took nine plays to finish.
PN-G quarterback Harrison Tatum continued to show a great arm in his final season with the Indians as he was 5-for-9 for 89 yards and no interceptions.
Spencer DeRon hauled in two receptions for 58 yards and Kyler Segura had 25 yards on two catches.
The first half was all Indians as the rushing attack was the main focus of the PN-G attack. LC-M could only manage one first down, on penalties, while PN-G picked oup 14 in the first half.
