League City watching those Mighty Pirates against Clear Brook!

[quote name="Cheermom4" post="1269260" timestamp="1347559054"] I totally understand not everyone can stay to the end for whatever reason.  It actually isn't any of my concern really.  I just know for me and my family we stay until the end weather they win or lose. [/quote] I know that, I didn't mean anything by it, I was simply stating that it takes a toll on the kids when they turn around and the fans are leaving.  That is all.

[quote name="Cheermom4" post="1269169" timestamp="1347550574"] [quote author=speveto link=topic=103022.msg1269118#msg1269118 date=1347545570] [quote author=phunter308 link=topic=103022.msg1268621#msg1268621 date=1347482602] The rumor mill has it that 4 PN-G players have quit the varsity football team including 2 starters tat include Logan Chipman and Peveto.  Have heard this from 3 different sources but can't independitely confirm. Logan was their top reciever for this year. He is suppose to focus on baseball. Hate to hear this and good luck to these young men. [/quote]As a WOS fan, if we had anything to do with these young men  quiting, I sincerily apologize. [b]I think that the PNG fan`s  should get some of the blame because they walked out on these kids in the third quarter.[/b] [/quote] This is nothing new it happens at EVERY HS, College and Professional football game across America.  PN-G is not the only fans that leave early.  [b]I personally do not leave until after the final seconds click off the clock.[/b][/quote] I agree with you, it does happen at all schools but we stay until the end.  I remember last year when we were playing Angleton in the playoffs and at halftime Angleton was only winning by a small margin.  By the end of the 3rd, it had turned into a very large lead for Angleton.  A lot of fans started leaving during the 3rd and by the middle of the 4th our side became very small.  I say all that to say this, the BE did an article right before this season kicked off and they spoke to one player from each team.  There was a little Q & A that the BE report did.  The Vidor player was asked something along the lines of, what was your worst moment/memory of last years season?  The players response was, "Looking into the stands during the Angleton game and a lot of our fans were leaving, even our fans had given up."  Each Friday, we leave when the buzzer sounds at the end of the 4th.  :)

Also, despite the schedule saying the game starts at 7:30 it starts at 7.  No matter how you go, the traffic will be bad.

This game is going to be a huge test for us before district but I think we will be able to hang in there and pull out a win. 

[quote name="Razor" post="1268358" timestamp="1347464005"] Thanks for the well wishes...there won't be any excuses coming out of Nederland like there were spewing from vidor after last year's "L" to the Dogs. I hope Vidor wins this week as well so we can have a matchup of undefeated teams...in reality, both Nederland and vidor have their hands full this week, although I don't really know too much about Clear Brook. [/quote] I agree, I hope we both go into our matchup 3-0, it's going to be a great game that week, no doubt! Good luck this Friday Nederland! 

Two great teams going head to head but I think Angleton will win this one but not by much.

BUT look at who you are talking about, TEENS and YOUNG KIDS that look up these NFL players and "want to be like them".  If one of my kids did something like this, they wouldn't want to even think about their punishment. Period. [/quote] And I agree with your points as well. And trust me, my sons last worry wouldn't be what the UIL or school was going to do. But now that I think about it, it's not just NFL players. [/quote] Exactly and I agree with your point as well.  It seems as though the days of respect are slowing flying out of the window and it makes my skin crawl to see a child or an adult for that matter disrespect anybody.  All I have to do is look in my kids direction when they are doing something they know they should not and it's an instant fear of, "oh crap, I better stop." LOL

When I watched this yesterday, I had tears in my eyes. Coach Roark displayed what sportsmanship is all about, he is such a class act. I loved what Coach Mathews told our boys too, he is also such an amazing class act that all of our boys look up to. Our boys learned something so much deeper than just football this year.

[quote name="vp32" post="1133588" timestamp="1322501101"] Honorary Captain: Matt Thomas, sr., Vidor This is the best part.  :) [/quote] That is awesome that they did this!!  ;D

major kudos to Jeff, the entire coaching staff and the entire Vidor Pirate team!! I have known Jeff since he came to Vidor under Pat Murphy and the Jeff from then, is the same Jeff we still have today. He's a great man both on and off the field. Nobody can make everyone happy so of course there will always be somebody who doesn't agree with everything. Very excited to see us next year as most of our boys are returning. Football season can't start soon enough!!!!! Vidor is VERY proud of the Pirates!!

Or competition??? " COME ON MAN"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/quote] HAHAHA!!!! After Friday's game Angleton will be saying, "Playoffs??? Playoffs?!?!?!?" lmao

Our Vidor Pirates will win this one, no doubt!! In Pirate Country, "QUIT" is a four letter word that you do not even think about forming your lips to say.

[quote name="Coach Comeaux" post="1127385" timestamp="1321978313"] After Taking down the Arlington Wildcat Friday night 35-27, The Vidor Pirates are compared to a California wildfire.... no way to contain it just let it burn on....... PRCA officials want to get a look at the Bronco that is running Wild through 4A Div 2 football..... Ozen shows how fast Southeast Texas Standards really are..... Bulldogs take care of business and set up 20-4A showdown with the Black Pearl... Game to be played at Reliant Stadium... [/quote] HAHA!! Love 'em all!!!

I am so proud of our boys.  They have had to deal with and extreme amount of heartache this year and yet they continue to hold their heads high every single day, no matter how much pain they feel. As a VHS Alumni, this my friend is what makes you proud to call yourself a Pirate. The feeling you get while sitting in the stands week after week is like no other, its an amazing feeling of togetherness. I have been a Pirate since I was born and I wouldn't change that for the world. Go Pirates!!  ;)

Pirates sail high on the Black Pearl with all their devoted fans firing the canons and laying the wildcats to rest!!
