Ask college coaches what type of athletes they prefer…many will say they prefer to have multi sport athletes

They ain’t ready for all that truth @TradenupBH 

No, they are not…this is the reality but doesn’t fit the narrative that has been created to “blame “ someone for what happened 

Sign of today's times...we have to have someone or something to blame for anything that goes wrong...sometimes things just happen and it isn't anyone's fault...I promise you that kids do far dumber and worse things on their own time that can cause injury...Heck, you can get hurt walking across the street...whose fault is that?

As for lifting, how exactly do you plan to get stronger if you DONT lift all year long?  I have never seen anyone gain significant strength taking months at a time off from the weight room

You are ruining pine curtains fun…he wants to be negative, so let him be…he’s wrong, but let him be…lol

Supposedly, LW had quite a bit coming back from that 10-3 team, so not sure what led to the 6-5 season in his only year at Lake Worth...based on this post, you would think that Dayton hired Knute Rockne or something

Nederland 17

Buna 6   F/4

 

Ayden Sunday-  3-4 with 3 HR’s and 8 rbis.  
Grandslam, 3 run bomb, Solo bomb 

Whoa!  Not a bad days work for that young man!! I’m impressed 

lol, buddy…who knows…maybe refer to their handbook 

send your resume in, spider...sounds like you have the answers

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

too many concerned with how someone else does it

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

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

group of citizens against the bond hired consultant named Paul Dore to help defeat the bond back in 2008 or 2009, whenever it was...you can look him up

Leadership is not following the crowd or riding the current of the stream, it’s not looking across the tracks, but looking within and challenging yourself more than others.  Poor leaders do things for cosmetics and optics.  The worst do things out of fear.

Preach brother….amen!  If only more understood this

agreed...garbage statement regarding Coach Smith...they made the dang playoffs last year and have good YOUNG talent...his teams will be better...some of you and your hatchet mentality??

this transferring and recruiting garbage in HS sports is what needs to stop...taking the fun out of it, in part, if you ask me

Atta way Dogs!!

DESTROYED the Cowboys and most of them were on Quinn’s staff in Atlanta.

I like the big back idea…problem with pollard is they overpaid him…he’s a FA but will likely want and get more than he’s worth and we should pay…for that reason, I’d let him walk.

overshown helps, but he’s undersized as well…they need some big, nasty run stuffers at LB and on the interior of that DL big time…they unfortunately need more of those than I think they can solve for in one year, but if McCarthy is truly going to autopsy the losses, that has to be a glaring hole…run defense 

They better figure out how to run the ball and conversely, stop the run on D…they haven’t been able to stop the run for years and you simply cannot compete for championships getting the ball crammed down your throat all game long and having the other team impose their physical will against you…this happens to Dallas routinely

it’s a microcosm of their overall soft natured culture, if you ask me…all flair and no substance…tons of talent, no real toughness to win and close big games and beat good teams…that starts at the top with what ownership creates and it will never change unless Jerrah makes a significant change in how he runs and builds the team…he got lucky with Jimmy Johnson (he didn’t really know what he was doing and hired a college buddy who happened to be great) and he hired Parcells when he was desperate to get a new stadium and couldn’t get the support coming off of 3 successive 5-11 seasons…these are the only times he has allowed anyone else to have control of “football” and each time, he eventually couldn’t stand it and screwed it up.

Jerry knows how to make money and build a brand, but he doesn’t know squat about how to build a winning football culture…worse yet, he thinks that he does and wont give up on the notion that he does…if you can’t tell, I am a Cowboy fan, but way past fed up with the Jones’…I don’t even get that upset when they choke anymore as it has become my expectation…I would be surprised if they actually won anything in the postseason 

oldschool, your talking crazy!  elite coaches win no matter what, right?😄

Amen...the reality is that it takes both and the "elite" coaches as defined by some on this board will tell you the exact same thing

correct and Vicor had a solid squad that year (went 3 rounds deep themselves, I believe) and Nederland handled them at Vidor...it was a different time and Nederland 2012 team did have to go big school because they were the 2nd largest school in the district to actually make the playoffs....Georgetown, which knocked Nederland out that year, had about a 700 student enrollment advantage over Nederland plus the added edge of GISD adding a 2nd HS that year but allowing seniors to stay with Georgetown if they chose to...they rolled out 70-80 kids for that game, whereas Nederland had about 35 healthy players by that time...the 2 teams who competed for the D2 title that year both had larger enrollments than Nederland and IMO, where beatable for the Dogs...that year along with 2000, were Nederland's best opportunities since 1975 to bring it home...it was just a different format and it is what it is...2012 was a fun season for the Dogs anyway...that squad was strong and had very few weak spots

The 2000 team was really good as well...they lost to eventual champ Bay City 6-0 and finished the game with the ball at the 1...BC had barely over 100 yards of offense in the game as Nederland's D was super stout as well...The Dogs missed scoring opportunities in the first half and ultimately BC won and went on the steamroll their next 2 opponents on the way to a state title...that team could easily have been state champs, but it wasn't to be

The 2001 team got hot at the right time and made a surprising run to the semis as well, before being outgunned by Smithson Valley, but that was a fun playoff run because it was so unexpected

No they cant

Doesn’t look like they will do it again….agree there…grind the clock
