It's not the way you start, it's the way you finish.

Scalp'em!
 
Lee should be the Patriots and GCM should be the Ganders..lol It makes more since!

PN-G 7 losses
  Deer Park (currently 16-0, #3 in THBCA 6A Poll) 4-2, 2-0 La Porte 4-2 Ball 10-6
Episcopal 8-5 Bridge City 7-3
GCM 2-1   5 of 7 losses by 3 or less runs     The "defensive line coach" has over 400 wins as a head baseball coach. 2 Louisiana State Championships and another State appearance with Sweeny.

Players still have to make plays to win the game no matter who's up. Coaches sometimes get too much credit for winning and sometimes to much blame for loosing. WhI checked ever team makes less errors and the most key plays usually holds the "W"! 

Port Neches-*Groves......lol sorry Groves players don't like being called Port Neches. 

It really, really bothers me when race is brought into this issue.  The local paper which did more to expose the issues going on at BISD has been called racist time and again, despite the fact the owner of said publication has been one of the largest contributors to Democrats in this State for a long time, and a staunch supporter of civil rights.
 And believe it or not, I have African American friends with kids in BISD who were as outraged as anyone about the deception and thievery going on there.  Ultimately, the taxpayers were going to pay what the law said they had to pay.  The real victims were the kids because to me, that's who was being stolen from.   If you aren't offended by what was happening, I have issues with where your priorities lie. 

Since every call wasn't in Ozen's favor they were horrible?

Definitely a good game!  It was close throughout the game...and a packed house!  Proud of our Indians!

Don't want to start anything, just dispel a common and very frustrating myth about poor minorities and sports. Athletics is most certainly not the only realistic way these kids don't end up a statistic. It is far easier, particularly for kids living in poverty, to get an academic scholarship than one in athletics, and even without a scholarship, college is still attainable to people at any level of income if it is something they really want. Not even mentioning the number of trade and career schools that exists as options for people who are truly motivated. There are a thousand ways to skin a cat. 
I don't mean to seem like I am lecturing, but it gets very tiresome when I hear kids act like if they don't get a scholarship to play sports then they have no chance in this world. And the sad part is that they get this idea from uninformed parents and relatives who think it is true. 
Fact is, if the parents of kids in bad situations cared 10% as much about their academics as they do about what they do on the court/field, then the kids would probably be alright. I see kids time and time again who's parents will show up to every sporting event but don't have time to make the meeting to decide the kids graduation plan or anything else to do with school. 

Never understand what?
About being a "minority"? No. I will not. 
About being poor? Yes, I know what its like to be poor. I was poor most of my childhood. My parents divorced when I was 1. Moved more times than I like to remember. Mom remarried 4 times. However, I did not allow my destiny to be determined by circumstances.
As for Tony Brown, I do not know this young man, but I know young men like him. All young people have a lot of growing up to do. He's no different. He will either fish or cut bait.
I am willing to bet that all of us on this forum have over come our circumstances. It's time for us to STOP blaming someone or something for our bad decisions. 

Damn Coog fans, let us enjoy our hire. Ya'll kill me with your know it all BS negative arse attitudes towards other teams. Improvement is all we can ask for. I realize Crosby has had a couple good years, but your not that much ahead with all of your D1 players.

Know what, I think I'll save the potential of this subject getting turned until we actually here what really happened.
Thread locked till further notice.

I've seen the term "Saban's doghouse", the players elected to send him home so it's a bigger issue than being in Saban's doghouse. Says a lot when your teammates vote that way.

Congrats to all the players selected for the Super Gold Team! And a Big Congratulations to Caisen Sullivan for being selected as Beaumont Enterprise First Team Super Gold Wide Reciever from PNG. Facts... 957 yards, 74 catches, 14 touchdowns in 12 GAMES! Also 22-5A First Team All-District and most importantly Texas High School Association Academic All-State!

BE didn't pick their Super Gold Team this year...guess they didn't want people griping at them for not choosing who they thought would make it.  They posted it online for readers to vote...but I'm sure people will complain anyways

This isn't about PNG and Nederland, its about kids that worked there butts off.
 
And FYI--We cant help that the best QB in district was wearing purple.

You are correct, we do produce a different type of athlete. For that matter we produce a different type of young man and woman. We produce the type that work hard on and off the filed. We instill Honor, Pride, and Tradition; an attribute most envy. We produce successful moms and dads, that regardless of where life takes them, never forget where they come from and who came before them. We produce the type of student that doesn't define who they are by playing a high school sport or any other extra curricular activity. We make sure every young man and woman that walks the halls of PN-G understand that integrity is what you do when no one is watching. 
So Cougar 14.2, we are a bit different. I'll wear that badge with Honor, Pride, and Tradition any day of the week.

I'm leaving work at 3:00! I'm dying..lol

Not putting a crown on him, I'm just saying the potential is there. Who knows what will happen. Different offense then when some of the past greats played. Anyone that starts their Sophmore year has an advantage. Alot of factors, injuries, number of games, etc.. Heck Morse is breaking records with alot less games than other QB's with alot better yard per game average. Great kid and great family. Just sit back after this year and enjoy the show is all I'm saying.

So I could watch PNG in the playoffs. I have that kind of pull with the UIL. LOL

The IMPORTANT people like the grays...that would be the players on the field and alot of them are from generations of Indians.

My Husband was born and raised here also and he doesn't give a flip what they wear. He's just happy we're still getting to see the Indians play some football.

they had a blast out there, and everyone knew it! I loved it! Hopefully they'll do something like that again this Friday!

Actually they threw the ball because they couldn't run. You said yourself in the Dayton vs. PNG thread, that Dayton lines up and runs the ball at you to tire the defense. Be consistent, at least. My point was that they had a tough time running the ball against us and they had more luck throwing the ball, so that's what they did. We've done well against some pretty d@mn good running backs this year. Dayton was not a one dimensional team. I don't know about Angleton, if they are run heavy, then that works to our advantage IMHO. BTW, no team threw over 200 yards against us all year up to Dayton. In fact Nederland threw for 194 and WOS threw for 191. The only two teams over 150 yards passing against us and the only two teams to beat us. Every other team has basically lined up and ran against us and when they do that they don't fair well.
