rumor has it that rich will be new coach but buying house and sending his kids to png🤣🤣

They are looking for someone who can work miracles.

Isn’t life swell dad… hey son, how about we go fishing this weekend… great dad, but I have homework

Just passed by the boardroom and intended to stop for the meeting. 17th street had more Ford Escorts than Philpott.....

No sport has nearly the aggregate amount of emotion around it like football. When PNg won state in baseball (also, I’m just realizing PNG won state in two sports in a six year stretch - That’s pretty cool) everyone was extremely excited and proud. But it wasn’t even close to the near-religious, transcendent breath of joy that opened up across the entire PNG community when we won in football. Football is king at most schools. If coaches chose their jobs only on lack of pressure, they’d all be fighting for non-football spots.

True that, maybe change is in order there too.......

True

Post meeting lunch was at Redbirds...Golf cart parade and post signing party at the Wheelhouse.

Splendora was average to above average in 4A… I don’t think they will do well in 5A

The problem with Hemphill seems to be a major exit in high school enrollment. Snapshot number went from 273 down to 221. A drop of 52 kids. Hemphill lost their JV team in the middle of the year, had to combine with varsity. Even going to class 2A1 you need a JV program. Hopefully they have a large 8 th grade moving up. Would like to know the reason for the big drop in high school. Hemphill is a good place to live and the school has money. Hemphill just lost a good coach. Wishing my neighbor to the north the best.

I don't get why in bold.

I don’t know, but I do know this: Quinton Jackson is still on his feet. (PN-G fans who were at the 2009 game will get it.)

Why is this thread worthy?

The bonds are the big issue. Yes PNG has more money, but they also spend it wisely and the community is behind them. Nederland is spending $32 mil more than PNG on the last bond. PNG got rid of 2 schools (which cut overhead) and built 4 brand new state of the art schools. Nederland wouldn’t get rid of 100 yr old “historic” buildings because someone’s great grandma went to school there. Instead they piece milled 4 old schools together and it looks awful. They did get a new HS and 3 connex boxes for a press box though for $32 mil over what PNG paid.

When I went to academic competitions in Nederland their schools were piss poor work. I went on a tirade here and got shot down. Ned deserves better.

Haha what? Didn't Nederland play West Orange Stark, Port Arthur Memorial, and Silsbee last year and the year before in non district? Who do you want them to play Katy High school, North Shore, and Atascocita? You must not be from around here if you think that Nederland hasn't played anyone for non district.

25-2A play Tonight, 7pm Evadale can clinch district championship with a win tonight. Sabine Pass can tie Evadale for first with a win, I'll be courtside tonight and will provide updates.

Can we get back to talking about Nederland’s new football coach? I know very little about him. I don’t feel like reading every post. Thanks.

You better believe it. We’re hiring Mr T and Chuck Norris next.

How many golf carts? Haha

The Bulldog basketball team appears to doing what the PAM football team did at the end of the season and that is fold the tent. The Bulldogs better get it together A couple of losses this week and they may be sitting at the house along with PNG

Funny you mention that, they've always been weak one time a group of my friends from church beat their starters. But that's been an accepted fact and football reigns king here. But still a true story a church league of guys under 6' won

If my memory is correct PNG won the Nederland tournament

Smart Man-Happy Wife, Happy Life

Gold Star post of the month. 3 thumbs up👍👍👍

I think many of us probably appreciate your football postings (including AAW I’m guessing). Whether it’s Bellville or another team from that district, it is nice to know what’s ahead come playoff time from someone who has put eyes on those teams.

Scott Rich will be a good coach for the Bulldogs. It might take a season or two for him to right the ship, but Mid-County Madness is on the verge of being a contest of state-ranked powers, on top of already being the state’s fiercest rivalry and the perennial marquis game in the Golden Triangle. This is good for both schools, and good for the area at large. I look forward to seeing what Coach Rich does at Nederland.

Board meeting is at 5 pm this evening FYI.

Yeah they are usually pretty decent at baseball. Made it to the regional finals a few years ago.. usually go 2-3 rounds deep

At least you can park in Buna.

Do you think Todd D. will mess it up? I could see if it was just the district selecting, but I am hoping we get the best candidate like PNG did with TD advising.

if he didn't apply, not sure how he can be considered?

It should be the DC from Desoto , but they will mess this up

Not surprised. Never trusted said group

On the high school campus

Lol yeah you ain’t gotta worry about the sport of basketball in Bellville… For one weirdly we are region 4 in every sport but football (That will change next year as we will be region 3 across the board). Though Bellville has 6 playoff appearances since I’ve lived here (2015)… They have 0 playoff wins 😂

The UIL needs to shuffle numbers, bump 5A bottom numbers up, play local 5A and split come playoff time like 6A does. These 5A districts are getting ridiculous.

It is about players as well, however, and if people are not choosing NISD or leaving NISD because of the quality of facilities, then that impacts all programs…unfortunately, the numbers and some of the statements made here indicate that to possibly be the case…on a positive note, the last bond passed, upgrades are being made and hopefully they have an impact…time will tell

Just pasting this over here. BH schedule! I like it should get us ready for PAM 😎

Exactly….kudos to all the bond naysayers back in 2008-9 in Nederland that slowed progress for your city…the bill is now coming due...ironically, it is likely most of the same people who seem to be do most of the complaining about the state of things today...interesting

So you want them to play tougher teams? Because they couldn’t even beat WOS last year and got blown out by Silsbee… I’m just confused by you saying Silsbee is over rated but Nederland is 2-3 the last 5 games vs them.

When I hit enter, I was like, dammit, forgot Cy-Fair......

I would find some good schools around Houston Katy area, CY Fair area, Pearland, College Station. Some schools that would prepare them better for district

+1. I watched the YouTube video (not live) where Dave Campbell's Greg Tepper interviewed UIL Deputy Director Jamey Harrison, and Harrison stated that the UIL contacted ISDs and ADs to accommodate as many school needs and wish lists as possible. I had the exact same thought. No one called PN-G or Lufkin. And, did anyone at the UIL stop and think, something about Region 2 doesn't look right? Which one of these is not like the others? Crazy. But, it is what it is. Line up and go play. Go Indians.

Who are they going to beat to get in the playoffs? Angleton , BH , PAM , and GBALL are my picks for playoff teams. Not sure what order yet.

Well, they’ll have to actually travel, is what I mean, probably won’t get their Dallas area refs, and probably will have a smaller crowd than they get at At&T, facing a not-at-all smaller PNG crowd.

Until recently, all golden triangle schools have been in region 3 since the 70's until recently beginning with Westbrook

This is the first time that Ned and PNG have been in Region 2 that I can remember, I could be wrong though.
