Nederland will not only make the playoffs they will be the DC once again.

One thing for sure is Nederland has been getting it done. That will not change this year, the names will be different, instead of Kimler, Washington and Hopkins you will be hearing Seay, Mayfield, KRAUTZ, Barton and Hughes.

well because of this post, which I agree and only speaking about 22-5a and the subject of the thread, you gotta go with Nederland right now. due to being consistent year in and year out, they are proven. pn-g fans saying how good they look, I say wait till the first scrimmage atleast. every player on every team looks GOOD right now in shorts and tees and hitting each other. I know me and bigcam don't agree, but till proven, the district resembles the Pasadena district when north shore was in it. Nederland being north shore and everyone else just falls off. lee and gcm are not world beaters by a long shot. imo lee is the new lc-m and gcm is the new Livingston. vidor, this not your year or next. Lumberton...just play and see what you can do. ozen will be better next year if they don't run suggs off. central will be the same...athletes with NO coaching...foreman is not that great. look at the teams they beat last year. PAM game all I can say is watch the game and judge for yourself. both teams were HORRIBLE. PAM helped central with PI calls, plus some home cooking from refs that missed the wr  coming out of bounds to catch a TD pass late 4thqtr. that was the ONLY real win they had last year. they got rolled by brook(PAM did pretty good against and won) ot loss to png, Nederland just wore them down, wo-s bullied them. the wins they had was against sub 500 teams. the district drastically falls off after Nederland.

Dayton and Crosby will be tough games early, they just may be the 2 best teams on our schedule, but neither one has anything to do with the streak, which will continue this year whether we start 0-2 or not, we lost to Crosby last year and still had a fantastic year.

That's why Neuman is a great coach. He is changing up his offenses to fit his strengths. Unlike other coaches who say this is what we do and try to make it work even when they don't have the personnel to do it. Ned will be tough again as the season goes on because they have a coach.

even now, I tell my son to play football only if HE wants to; not because he feels like he owes us something because he doesn't owe us a dang thing.  If he ever feels like football is NOT for him, he has our blessing to not do it.  I don't think some of the coaches agree with that but it's true.  He may be an asset to the field, but he is more of an asset to ME because he is my kid.  Okay, I'm done.

The district is going to be good this year, I pick Central because of the 10 srs that are 3 year starters and with the returning starters that or back I think Central ,Png and Nederland have the top three spots and Gcm, Ozen and maybe Vidor fights for 4th .
So I have nothing bad to say about any team or person on this SITE, well Buddy is wrong a lot and Ned fans think they are going to win DC and Mayfield thinks they can stop Central offense this year and Png thinks they will beat Nederland. And Aggie thinks Silsbee has a back. And my wife thinks I'm on here to much but-- Oh I have to go my wife is coming.
Ps I'll be back!

I always love it when I see stuff like this... It's like saying "If you take away those two fumbles and four interceptions, then we would have had 0 turnovers... "

I remember this group as freshmen... shhhhh! Let everyone believe it's gonna be a down year. That's the popular opinion on the board. The cupboard ain't bare, I promise.

Because I'm sure it had to do with the fact that Baylor won the Big 12 last season and nothing to do with the race of the coaches.

Guess we can let everyone have a little fun for now but come 2 a days and football season I think we will all see who the TOP DOG is. Little chatter on here about the Bulldogs but what chatter there is has us coming in around the middle of the pack. I think people will be surprised with the offense this year! Sure we lost some major guys on D but we have more than adequate athletes to do the job and like I said..Offense should be fun this year with some new looks!!!

Soulja1, you got a plan "B" ?

Why does WB have twice the enrollment of Ozen, why not have the enrollment numbers closer from school to school, and have all 3 schools competeing in the same district.

Nederland has just made things real interesting.

Offensive lines have to be developed and working on footwork, blocking techniques and hitting the weight room can really help this situation. Remember, Ozen lined up in the power-I formation and was driving the ball against PNG and even threw from it, they also had a fullback in front of Calvin during the Central game and was successful until he fumbled and they sat him out. Vidor is never really big but they are committed to what they do and I believe if you have to line up 7 yards back to get a yard or 2 that it is not an advantage but a disadvantage. Football really is a brutal sport and we try to finesse our way up the field at times when we should be pounding people in the mouth. I think if they ran a multiple offense then that would give them greater chance of success. Running some spread, some I or power I, tightend sets and even some wing-t sets would allow them to find the weakness of their opponents to defend. I do agree that the discipline to do their assignment is most important! JMO  

Anyone have any news about the off season? We have alot of holes to fill, but this is a good group.
Looks like Sage will get a shot at QB, Peyton Devries has moved to LB along side Mayfield, and little Mayfield and Trevor Breaux are looking good in the secondary. I'm looking forward to seeing Austin Krautz carry a bigger offensive load this year, he has the instincts you can't teach, I think he will be a touchdown machine for the
Big Ned offense, and with Marcus Barton returning in the backfield they will be a 1-2 punch that will be hard to stop.

MJB, that bond issue would go a LONG way in improving BC athletics.  The football stadium is outdated, the track surface is 25 years old, I think.  The baseball and softball facilities are sub par for the caliber of programs there.  The softball team has to dress out in the old PE gym the walk or drive to the softball field to play or practice.  The lighting and scoreboards at both fields have had issues since Ike.  Field drainage is bad.  Seating is inadequate at best.  Parking is inadequate for ALL sports.  The only way to bring the athletic facilities up to todays standards and to reflect the quality of our student athletes, is with that bond.  Not to mention, it contains MANY improvements to SECURITY at all campuses, and improvements to the performing arts facilities too.  

My point is, is that to utilize the talent Ozen has, you can't be one dimensional or generic as to where the other teams defense can easily line up against you and easily prepare for a set offense to defend! Magee stayed in the shotgun against PNG throwing the ball and stopping the clock instead of running the clock down from under center when we were leading. PNG could not stop our power I formation and we even threw from it to a wide open receiver in the endzone who dropped the ball. The ball was snapped in the shotgun position 20 yards back towards the other teams goal line while the QB was calling signals. We should never be one dimensional and always be able to get under center with a fullback package with tight ends to ball control at times! That game should have easily been won!
 
As for me being in my feelings, I would agree simply because you tried to insult my intelligence in an area where I excel in. I simply believe in giving the coach that is hired the benefit of the doubt 1st before coming to a final conclusion. I will have 3 Dogs in the hunt at Ozen as well as several other players who I have personally coached and definitely want them to get the right coach at the helm, so if you think I won't have personal feelings about this issue, you are wrong!  
 
One last thing, I don't smoke, but do eat sandwhiches from time to time! I'm Old Skool! Lol

Congrats to the DOGS...went 4-1 in this tournament with some tough schools!
 
I believe this young team can win the district race if they keep their heads high and the errors down...great group of young men!
 
GO DOGS!! 

It is amazing to read some of this stuff.  But it is the society we live in.  "My baby didn't get a college scholarship!!!!!!  Has to be the coach's fault."  I will say again, I know plenty of recruiters that roll through NHS and they all say the staff is a class act and are open and honest about each kid.  They are gracious with video and information.  Not sure what else a coach can do.  If you are unhappy with the process, subscribe to one of those recruiting services for about $3K, get more letters than you care to read and still have no scholarship to show for it.  SMH.

So the idea behind high school football is to get a handfull of athletes to the next level, that's it, the hell with TEAM WORK. It's the ME FIRST mentality that keeps alot of these schools from having a good program that helps ALL the kids develope into responsible adults. This whole conversation is "BS", 99% of these kids won't play college football, but you think the program should be there to help the 1% that might have the tools to make it playing college football, the school doesn't owe you anything, you play because you want to.

Crosby posters need their own thread!
 
Topic is 22-5A

So who has the better program? Ned or Ozen?  Why don't we change the names to Team ball and individual ball. The coaches, players, students and fans all expect to see the dogs win on Friday nights. Washington and Malveaux got scholarships this year and Colton could have, but that would be to their credit for achieving it. It would sure be unfair to the other 43 players on the team if they thought they were busting their tails just to earn scholarships for a few and not the glory of winning for their school and community. So for the critics of the way we do things in Nederland....it's a TEAM THING...you wouldn't understand.
