Did Whites dad pitch at Lamar?

Last I heard they were beating Marshall pretty badly, up by 10 plus.

Lance is a high quality pitcher and competitor, the matchup against Nederland will be very interesting.  Nederland's team chemistry appears to be a strong suit along with good pitching and defense, a quality dugout is a key to a special season... Nederland appears to have that... throw in some timely hitting and the Dogs just flat out will be tough to beat.  This entire senior class from Nederland just appears to know how to WIN, they are WINNERS, just a special group.  No matter who was favored early or what the slate looks like now, I expect them to COMPETE until the last out of the season and I expect that may be a ways out.

What Georgetown returns is probably not the caliber of what Nederland has returning... I take it that this is how the rankings are projected to start for next years season... not how this year ended up?

They don't need to replace the visitors stands, they need to mofiy it to allow for more access up and down the stands.  THere are only two main sets of steps to get to all the seats.

I agree, I always look at the senior group/leadership... I don't see Barton/Seay... those guys losing.  That would mean likely two more for the Dogs, then it would officially get interesting.  I think the X-Factor would be the Nederland incoming Freshman/current 8th grade group, they could be something special as well... time will tell.  Current Freshman group isn't too shabby, just not as deep and may still lose some to specializing in other sports. One thing for certain, the PNG 8th / Freshman groups are for real, they won't be anybody's whippin boy and will likely be a force regionally.

One correction, PNG has by far and away outnumbered Nederland since Faircloth arrived.  They win the numbers game... but don't think they will be able to pull a win against Nederland this year.  Should get interesting year after though.

Folks are on here talking about what's best for the kids, why wouldn't what a kid is seeing/feeling/hearing/experiencing be what's most relevant? 

When they were running the spread yes... hmmm... switch away from spread, play good defense, run spread, defense is gassed and can't stop anyone... sound familiar.  Your analogy is missing something.

Nederland had a big athletic go get the football freshman receiver, think his last name was Walker... as in the ol TJ Walkers, not sure.  Kid could be special with his frame and hands.  Also the Broussard kid is supposed to be pretty sick, never seen him play though.  J. Johnson is going to be a name folks remember as well.  He needs to have an incredible off-season and look out.

I watched the Morse kid and he can flat out play and he's under a 5.0 40, or maybe he just has tremendous game speed and ran the 5.3 at practice.  The kid has IT.

Finished as the all-time leading passer in school history, probably has the most wins as well, that would have to be verified, but likely a fact.

This is a ridiculous rumor, need shut this down, it's unfounded and has no merit at this point.

Most wins against an athletic team wind up being ugly wins, just the way it is.  Definitely something to build on.

Quality win right there, good job boys.

So long as that QB plays, they could have me out there running routes and they'd win.  THat kid would throw it at my helmet and stick it in my face mask, I'd fall down for a first down and we'd do it again.  Kid is something else.

Oh, I wasn't talking to anyone, I was trying to correct a previous poster that noone would be such an IDIOT to propose such a ridiculous arguement.  Nothing directed at anyone in particular.

I know nothing, I don't have an ego, but it's not like all-district picks need a 2/3rds vote congress to do it differently?  The all-district picks by the coaches are listed, there in black and white, I guess they decided how they would present their picks.  To my knowledge their are no published rules for how to select all-district picks, he was the best football player in the district, no matter where you put him on offense/defense/special teams whatever, the kid was just good.  I know your just raising a point of how it used to be in the past, but there also used to be 1 team make the playoffs.  I'm saying it really doesn't matter in my opinion, maybe it does to you, so maybe someone else can answer why the changed the procedures on how it was done back in the day.

Now Jack, surely someone wouldn't be so BLATANTLY STUPID as to go accusing a team of having a 5A enrollment and a 5A team... and then the team they represent actually has more kids to choose from than the team they are bashing??? Surely noone would be that RIDICULOUSLY JACKLEGGEDLY THAT FRIGGIN STUPID.  I just can't believe you, noone is that big of an IDIOT.

Don't do this, nothing good can come of it.

Nederland still runs a significant amount of spread in their offensive package? 

Was absolutely the most boring game of the year for Nederland.

Would Rodman be welcome on the team or slighted because he didn't have "BASKETBALL SKILLS?"

Then welcome them to the team, hell, beg them to come play, you need that kind of nasty.  Like I said, winning basketball games is about more than pretty jumpshots, you gotta bang too.  Sorry they don't play AAU ball, maybe you shouldn't let them on the team for that.  This kind of attitude, "they don't put in the time in the summer" is not what we need in Nederland.  Sorry, but we don't have enough lights out straight basketball playing athletes to not Welcome them no basketball skill football kids.  Just my opinion.  We used to have a LOT of very good football / basketball players... Englishs' brother was one of em, so don't give me the you gotta play year round basketball line, that's NOT true.
