From Galveston Newspaper:
Port Neches-Groves At Texas City
• KICKOFF: 7:30 p.m. at Stingaree Stadium
• LAST YEAR’S RESULT: PNG 22, Texas City 16
• TALE OF THE TAPE: Texas City turned a lot of heads with its win over Dickinson. Now it gets an even tougher opponent in PN-G. The game is at Stingaree Stadium, which plays to the Stings advantage. However PN-G is projected to be a high playoff team this year. If Texas City wins this game, the rest of 24-4A had better watch out.
• STAT LINE: Quarterback Ryan Harper threw for a career-high 173 yards last week. He’s also completing 57 percent of his passes so far this season.
• BUCKLEY’S PREDICTION: The Stings are starting to have the feel of the 2007 team that wasn’t expected to do much yet went on to win the district. However, PN-G is a tough opponent, and it’s going to take more than a few timely turnovers to win this game. PN-G 24, Texas City 10
• MOHL’S PREDICTION: PN-G is the most talented team the Stings have faced to date. The Indians return seven starters from a team that lost just one game a year ago, which could give the Stings problem. PN-G 21, Texas City 13
