A BUC 77

Right. It certainly served to emphasize the difference in where the programs were. It’s one thing to have a down era; it’s another thing entirely to have your rival win state while you’re struggling. Like, if PNG and Nederland had both been 2-8 the last two seasons, they’re both probably eventually looking for new coaches, but it doesn’t become such a focus on one school’s success or failure.  
 
Regardless, I have trouble believing Nederland doesn’t right the ship sooner than anyone thinks. 

I definitely think it sped it up.  You know. keeping up with the Jones.

I understand.  Wasn’t familiar where everyone lives I guess.  It’s hard to put a finger on it.  But I don’t think it’s the culture.  The stars have to align to do what you guys have done the last couple of years.  First was the coaching change.  Then a right group of kids buying in to what this staff was selling.  Matching up   to their opponents.  Nederland just needs a similar string of events.  The culture is there we just needs to wake it up.

Wow.  Y’all won a state championship and everyone congratulated you.  Now it’s time to rub it in our faces.

I was told by a friend on here that Nederland's coaching directed weight training program was basically non-existent.  This is part of the future of a potential elite coach.  It appears PNG has it right. Some laugh when I say there's no difference in the athletes at Ned and PNG. Then they say, well, how can you say there's no difference, look at them.  I said there is no difference in the athletes that "are available" to each team.  Now, how each coach develops what's available to them is the difference in what you see now between PNG and Nederland.  

From the early part of the game, there were no calls on both sides.

Need to mention Oceguera, the kicker.  4 FG is a record.  Fantastic.  Would not have gotten the W without him.

Just finished watching the taped version.   Great game on all accounts.  Players coaches fans.  When I first started watching I said no way PNG can beat these guys.  Y’all hung in there.  Great calls and great plays by Nguyen and many others.  Congratulations PNG y’all won State SE Texas style.   Grit and Heart.  👍
 

I forgot the defense.  Holding all those D1 guys. The onside kick may have been the play of the game.

Like I've been saying, keep eating what y'all been eating.  On the first play let them know they are playing a team from Southeast Texas and don't let up on the gas.  Make us proud Indians.  

Congratulations on the win.  Heck of game.  A few mental errors at the end but nothing major.

I'm going to say that I and probably 95% of the people on this site agree on not bashing a particular kid on this site. And if you consider degrading a teenaged boy as "fun banter", then you need a hug and maybe some professional help.

Remarkable guy from a remarkable family.  He was a few years behind me at EC.  I knew he was destined to make a difference in this world.  He affected many young lives.  Winnie-Stowell area has lost a pillar of society.
