Again[/size][/font]

Dayton is always a good team - there's no doubt about that - but for Pete's sake, they're not gods. If we really want to compare Dayton to a present-day 20-4A team, then let's look at the 2009 season (our best reference because it's the most recent complete season). In pre-season play, PN-G defeated Crosby 37-7. Crosby went on to beat Dayton and claim the 19-4A district championship trophy. Then, in post-season play, Dayton lost to Brenham, who defeated PN-G by six points in a game that may have gone PN-G's way had it not been for a last-minute interception. By that logic, it's not outrageous to say that PN-G could have defeated Dayton last year in a post-season game (although I admit, Dayton could win just as easily and I think it would've been a close one either way). When you consider the fact that PN-G only took the 20-4A district title in a nail-biter, it's not too far out there to say that Central would have given Dayton a good game as well, and Nederland only lost to Crosby by six points in the first round of the playoffs after a bad bout with the injury bug so they may have put up a good fight, too. I don't think there's a poster on this site (at least, not one with any common sense) who isn't willing to admit that Dayton has had the upper hand against current 20-4A teams in the past several years, but this is a different district than it was the last time Dayton was in it and relying on past results to prove Dayton's possible current dominance of this district is a little farfetched. Maybe I'm wrong - I don't know. We'll just have to wait until the playoffs and see what happens.

[/quote]I havn't seen Ozen play yet, but I have a good friend who is an unbiased contact (a Brook fan).  From what he is telling me, Ozen have blazing speed all over the field.  And David Green III is really good at QB.  At this point, I think that Ozen is further along than us.  And if we don't get it together, Ozen will beat us in our district game... [/quote] Well, maybe I need to reevaluate my rankings.

Baseball we smacked LCM 9-0, 7-3. Then we went deep in the playoffs beating Magnolia that put ya'll out.

[quote name="tvc184" post="823345" timestamp="1281104580"] They should all be the same no matter that activity. I am not sure about the being held to a "higher standard" though. They should just live to the standard of other students, not higher. The standard for society and students should be that you aren't out breaking the law by robbing the local store, selling dope, etc. If other students need to be to class on time, UIL participants should not be made to be there 10 minutes early. No need for the "higher standard", just "the standard". [/quote] I disagree. Extra-curricular activities require a huge amount of time and dedication. Band, football, volleyball, drill team, and cheerleader practice all start 2-4 weeks before the first day of school. UIL Academics groups and other sports teams all have regularly scheduled practices before and after school. Sponsors and students alike don't like putting in all that work just to be embarrassed by one person. Besides that, these students represent the school and ultimately the community behind it. I don't know how things work at other schools, but at PN-G, that is taken VERY seriously. I have seen students sent home from UIL meets for being five to ten minutes late and band members run ten or more laps for things that most people would consider miniscule. It's simple. If you put on the uniform, you live by a higher code. If you choose not to live up to those standards, you will be disciplined and possibly cut from the program. Now obviously, small things like a speeding ticket aren't going to get you into trouble with the school, but I wouldn't get into too much trouble beyond that.

I think LCM is up and coming with their new coach they have a 3 year starter at qb which is a big + and a good receiver corp, dont really no about their running game. As Soulja1 said dont really put much stock into 7-7 game it is more a timing tool with QB and receivers and good tool for db to practice covering their man, but until you get 11-11 it dont really mean a dang thing just fun to watch. Ned is iffy with noone really knowing which qb is gonna immerge to take control, injuries have hurt the dogs as of the last few years. Ozen dont know much about  them except that they always have talent according to the bmt faithful, Central always tough  speed speed and speed what can you say, but you can beat speed with discipline and patience, AS for the lions, well you just aint gonna win district with  a running game, you need to throw the ball, have a hard hitting stingy defense, and special teams to boot, sorry just dont see you making any noise ;[ The L train lost their steam for their  engine dont see them in the mix except that they may return to the cellar once again Then last but least their is my ndns, jv went 10-0 also , we have a solid group returning, everyone saying we cant replace Harmon, well hate to tell you but mr Bertrand is gonna be here two years and he will be every bit if not more exciting than Harmon was. Doty has a year of experience under his belt and should be a deep ball threat everytime he throws the ball  but i think it is his short passing game that is his strong point, Defense is where we look the weakest at being that we are looking for all the dbs  but with our coaching staff i dont think that will be a problem. I look for us to be in the mix but as everyone knows 10 - 0 was a terrific accomplishment but being realistic i dont see them doing that again [/quote] I'm liking this. LCM's running game will be alot better than last year with a good RB corp, and the defense will step up to stop the run ALOT more than last year, you can count on that! They will still have a couple players going both ways, but with more depth this year there will be more rest time for those players. I say LCM takes 2nd or 3rd in district. The PN-G game will be the test! [/quote] Coach Crouch will have the Bears ready to play. They'll be much improved. They gave us a big test last year. And why do you hate that purple? [/quote] Because it's EVERYWHERE. Watching the game at the Res was wild [/quote] You're just jealous. ;)

There's a very simple way out of this. According to the 2010 Texas Fact Book (link posted below) Texas allots about $75 Billion to education annually. Relatively speaking, $800 Million is a drop in the bucket. Now, currently, the state has a $2 Billion deficit, but Governor Perry issued an order for all departments to cut 5% of their budget. That's a grand total of $9.1 Billion in savings, which puts us in a $7.1 Billion surplus by year's end. If Governor Perry was smart, he would take $800 Million from that surplus and throw it into education. Texas schools would still open as scheduled, Congress would look like the bad guy, and our state officials would come out smelling like a rose. [Hidden Content]

[b]1. Beaumont Central Jaguars[/b] They want revenge and we know it. This will be the toughest game for the Indians outside of the playoffs. This team may very well be undefeated marching into the Reservation on November 5th. [b]2. Gregory-Portland Wildcats[/b] I don't know much about this year's team, but from what I've read, last year's team was pretty good and they return several players. In addition, it's the first game of the year and we're playing in the Alamodome. That brings a whole new level of anxiety to the field that they can capitalize on. [b]3. Nederland Bulldogs[/b] It's Mid-County Madness. Anything can happen. [b]4. Texas City Stingarees[/b] A powerhouse team from a powerhouse district looking for a little payback after last year's 22-16 overtime loss. [b]5. Crosby Cougars[/b] Last year's 19-4A district champion team will be looking to avenge that pre-season 37-7 loss. [b]6. Little Cypress-Mauriceville Bears[/b] Another team looking for a little payback after last year's 27-20 nail-biter (the second-closest game in district play for PN-G). [b]7. Beaumont Ozen Panthers[/b] This team always has a lot of speed, second perhaps only to Central in 20-4A. Speed was a weakness for PN-G last year, and I expect that they'll be disciplined and trained enough to use it this year. [b]8. Lumberton Raiders[/b] A team with some talent that's looking to restore its short-lived glory and grab a playoff spot. [b]9. Vidor Pirates[/b] Another team looking to keep the good times rolling. Although inexperienced, this team normally has some talent and shouldn't be overlooked. [b]10. Livingston Lions[/b] Quinton Jackson stayed on his feet all the way across the stage at Livingston's graduation last year, but his team may be laid flat on the ground without him. [b]Prediction:[/b] The Indians are walking into football season with a big target on their backs, having defeated nine of the ten opponents they are scheduled to play this year in the memorable 2009 season. That being said, our team has shown that they are capable of overcoming almost any obstacle and performing miracles on the field. In addition, many of our starters return from last year's varsity team and all open positions are to be filled with players from last year's undefeated JV team. So, without further adieu: The Indians go 10-0 at best (hey, we've done it before ;D) and 8-2 at worst.

I remember the 1999 4A-DII state championship being played there. I don't remember much about it, but one thing I do remember is the sea of purple you could see as you entered the stadium (that leaves a big imprint on the mind of an elementary school student). I also remember those stupid noisemakers that Stephenville brought to try and drown out Cherokee. It was funny to me because, by the end of the game, not only could you still clearly hear the band, they were beating their drums and propane tanks in beat with our fight song.

The others were the opposite. PNG was up and held on to win. Crosby was a second half push to take the lead, but not a score within a minute. The one that stands out the most outside of the Central game is that 1999 victory over Schertz Clemens at Kyle Field. RC Slocum said that series made him a D. Long believer and he offered shortly after. [/quote] I seem to remember our last touchdown at the Crosby game coming at the very last second. As for Texas City, we may not have been behind in the last minute of the game, but we weren't ahead, either, and I believe that Barbers Hill was ahead until we made the final touchdown of the game and scored with the PAT, although that may not have been in the last minute of the game. Then again, I could be wrong. That was a while back and I tend to catch the last few minutes of each game intermittently due to certain responsibilities I have to the band.
