I know they did the infield at the babe ruth park , mainly for the ASK kids so I wonder how the other teams like it.

I don't know that I am a big fan of turf for baseball/softball, maybe just for the infield. Maybe some of the PNG people can comment on that as far as how it plays.

Have you been to the baseball field lately? it is not bad. I agree on the softball facilities.

Really... Not a bad idea.

Where? Brand new high school opening, stadium has been updated.

why did he resign?

Ok, I am going to go ahead and get this out of the way before it gets out of hand. Lets not get to the point of coach bashing. It hasn't happened yet in my opinion but don't go down that road.

The new AD will probably want his own coordinators , some of the assistants might stay if asked.

It was probably an either/or conversation. I figured he would retire with the amount of time he had in the district. He's in his mid to late fifties I guess, so he might move on somewhere else.

He has over 30 years in, he is probably retiring.

Hey that’s an improvement over his last few threads!

Me too. Happy New Year!

5 because he is a perfectionist.

He didn't hire Reagan to coach! You know the greatest of all time.... 🙄

I wouldn't mind seeing Ned play some teams we haven't seen in a while , although the travel for a home and home wouldn't be great. 1. Silsbee 2. Angleton 3 PAM

Don't encourage him.

I know it’s hard for you, but can you try to have shorter titles in your threads??

😂 you might need to rotate your tires a little more often!

It happens especially when you have a successful program.

You conveniently forget that the 80s and 90s weren't great for PNG either other than 99. Even some of the last six or so years Ethridge coached. Malone made one run in 89 (Lost to A&M Consl. I think) and Burnett made the 99 run. other than that a few one and done in the playoffs and a bunch of losing seasons. 1978 6-4-0 237-122 Doug Ethridge 1979 4-5-1 136-156 Doug Ethridge 1980 7-3-0 235-124 Doug Ethridge 1981 3-7-0 123-144 Doug Ethridge 1982 4-6-0 182-179 Doug Ethridge 1983 6-3-1 203-147 Doug Ethridge 1984 3-7-0 132-186 Butch Troy 1985 3-7-0 99-181 Butch Troy 1986 1-8-1 125-273 Butch Troy 1987 4-5-1 158-262 Butch Troy 1988 1-8-0 77-223 Butch Troy 1989 R-- 12-2-0 388-201 Danny Malone 1990 R 7-4-0 252-158 Danny Malone 1991 6-4-0 193-189 Tim Owen 1992 C 9-2-0 331-120 Tim Owen 1993 2-7-1 74-194 Tim Owen 1994 1-9-0 178-277 Matt Burnett 1995 3-7-0 181-272 Matt Burnett 1996 C-- 10-2-0 369-109 Matt Burnett 1997 7-3-0 251-181 Matt Burnett 1998 R 9-2-0 336-125 Matt Burnett 1999 CO 14-2-0 488-255 Matt Burnett

You guys aren't trying to set him up with someone to keep him around are you?? lol. 😉

Ok, I am going to say it once. Move the other discussion to another thread if you want to continue it. I’m not going to ask again, do not hijack threads! This is aimed at everyone having the side discussion.

Yes and no. If you want to continue the discussion, start you own thread for it. Not on this one.

No one is changing their position on this discussion ( that you have been having across multiple threads) so let’s move on and stay on topic.

Ok. Enough.
