Congrats to png. They’ve gotten hot at the right time. I didn’t expect a state run with a first year head coach, but kudos to them for putting together a state title run. They controlled the game after the first liberty hill touchdown. The Nguyen kid is pretty dang good 

1-0 Atl bottom 3 

I thought so at first as well, but was watching on Texan live. After I rewatched it, the ball was clearly out when he got spun in the air 

Will be on tv on ESPNU

That was 2006. I was a sophomore that year. Dravanti Johnson put that hit on Harrison Tatum. I was in the end zone right behind that play. 

There are a couple of church parking lots that are right off Nederland avenue(about a 3-5 minute walk to the stadium). One I think charges around $5 to park there(usually fills up quickly) and also have a pit of food to sale. There is one across the street that I normally park in that has plenty of empty space.

I just want to seriously discuss the fan base, not all, but most of that of png is on the verge of disgusting. First off prayers to RJ. I never wanted to see the kid hurt, shook up and battered yes, but never hurt. Now, you so called pride, honor, and tradition people need to go have a seat!!! Bottom line, your team got donkey stomped by a real team. What??? Ohhhh no cupcake padders this year??? The excuses or problems you now see was predicted at the end of last year!! That prediction and reality is PNG IS NOT GOOD!!! The kids can only do so much, but this is the reality you face when you thump on your chest like you a powerhouse when actually you just an ordinary non talented entity behind the green curtain. Myself and others stated once Riggs left, the passing game will struggle against a non cupcake team. I can see why some are voicing him to sit, but that kid don’t want to hear that nor should you be saying it. He wants to enjoy playing football. Just because he has all these rankings etc... doesn’t translate to automatic playing time in college NOR GUARANTEE HE WILL PLAY QB AT THE NEXT LEVEL. Let him enjoy and encourage him to getting back on the field. Again heal up RJ. PNG fans, some of u are ridiculous smh... I remember many saying this team was special roflmao... now it’s a dumpster fire roflmao

Nederland scores 2 on a Castillo double that was lost in the lights.  
 
2-1 Nederland mid 6

SFA with a buzzer beater at the half to take a 3 point lead to the locker room.

As an alumni of Nederland soccer, it's disappointing to see them that far down on the table. 

Gary Patterson should rank up in the top 5 or 6 coaches in the county.  
 
Gundy’s mullet ranks up there with Billy Ray

Kary Vincent already making a name for himself at LSU.  Nice play.  

SETXsports.com site owner Jordan Wilson has just made arrangements with the UIL to carry the Class 5A State Tournament Games involving the Port Neches-Groves Indians baseball team!
So tune in right here onto Your Source for Sports in Southeast Texas for the Class 5A semifinal pitting the Indians against the Frisco Wakeland Wolverines, Thursday afternoon at 4!

The name on the FRONT is all that should matter.........

Tonight marks the final match for Baytown Sterling's boys head soccer coach Jim Richter. He will be retiring after 29 years in education and coaching at the end of this school year. RSS was eliminated from playoff contention after an 8-3 loss to Channelview on Tuesday.
Jim is the only soccer coach in Sterling's history.  He has over 200 wins, 3 Coach of the Year awards, 3 District Championships,  over 10 Playoff appearances, and numerous all district players. 
Jim has been a mentor and my breakfast buddy for the past 10 years.  I am going to miss our morning chats about his beloved Longhorns, politics, and other worldly issues.
Good luck tonight, coach.
 

Not a prediction on where teams finish, but it will be interesting to see Ned and Png play in the last week of district again. It has been a while since that has happened, and should add some more intensity in the final week of district play.

I've often wondered if that isn't the best thing for these kids.  With as many games as they play now, the late bloomers may be the kids kids to step up in HS, while the 10 yr old studs never make it that far.
 
I've seen plenty of kids pitch in a league game on Tuesday, throw a few innings of select on Saturday, then pitch the championship game on Sunday.  Kids arms aren't designed to take that kind of abuse.  Not pitching until now was probably the best thing for him.  If he can get with a good pitching coach to fine tune his mechanics, he can be very successful.  
 
Maybe I'm just old and played before select baseball came around and parents started paying $75 an hour on pitching lessons for 8 year olds.  I do know that we faced major league pitchers every week in district which you don't see now.  

Png won 1-0 with a goal coming in the last 2 minutes of the game.  Nederland seemed to control the first half and png controlled the second from my perspective. Both had multiple opportunities, but both keepers played well. Nederland keeper made a great save on a 1v1, punching the ball over the crossbar. Png keeper made a great save that most likely would have found the back corner of the net if he doesn't get a hand on it. It really upsets me that this game isn't what it used to be like. I can remember when i was growing up going to these games you couldn't find a seat. Even when I played back in 08 and 09 there were pretty good crowds for this game, and now there are maybe 75-100 combined fans. I know this area isn't really a soccer area, and these teams aren't filled with the likes of Davy Arnaud, Lance Watson, or players like that, but these guys deserve better crowds than just only 75-100 fans combined that have been showing up recently over the years.

when i left Nederland was up either 4 or 5 to 1 

LSU at Lamar on Feb 24th should be fun.  I'm going to have to make that game.  

It's a business.   I'm personally glad to see new blood in the program.   Best wishes to JR & SH, but it was time to clean house.   The program has fallen behind in so many areas.   Will Davis looks to me to be just what the doctor ordered.   I'm excited for the first time in several seasons.   I just hope that 2016 isn't a complete fiasco with all the distractions. 

Like a kid in candy store tonight, one day closer to opening day. 

Hang on! Hang on!  Gotta get reinforcements!
