CS.

The last couple of non-district schedules seemed to be effective...

Its a completely different culture across the board.  Barrow has caught a lot of heat and owns some of it but its a Nederland ISD issue.  I read a lot about kids playing multiple sports and all that.  It really goes to overall involvement.  PNG encourages a culture where kids are involved at a early age one way or the other.  From students doing broadcast during games, 75 girls in drill team, band, and all the way thru into their athletics.  Nederland needs to take a hard look at why their students are not getting involved.  I might be wrong but I believe if your a cheerleader or drill team at Nederland you are not allowed to participate in spring sports, but I know at PNG they can.  Why does one place have this type of participation in all there organizations and literally across the street their number shrink every year.  One answer culture.  Culture starts with your leaders and there is more than one leader at Nederland who should have to be answering these questions.  Barrow and a lot coaches are going to take the bullet for this and rightfully so but their is still plenty of people from Principal Natalie Gomez to our Superintendent who need to take a hard look at the type of culture they are creating around them.

Sark and Elko were both there today. 

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

Yep - PNG has to rely on coaching up the boys we have, and SOC openly rebuilds like they’re in the ncaa. They had no pass rush against PNG last year - If we face them next year, they’ll have an all new team tailor made to deal with us. It’s ridiculous. And , if they win we’ll all stand there and clap and pretend there was anything organic about their team. If we win, they’ll file grievances and try to put asterisks and insinuations on the victory.
 
I’m not saying they’re breaking the rules by all these transfers. They’re a magnet school and PnG isn’t, etc. But the idea that all the schools don’t put their teams together under the same rules challenges the idea of high school sports altogether. 
. 

The Mecca recruiting well to go after PNG next year.  He must have moved for academic reasons…
 
 

Article from “DFW Inside High School Sports “  The PI call was correct, SOC cliff had time to come back but could not overcome PNGs defence.
case closed.

I’d do it in a heartbeat. Why not if that’s what the personnel calls for?

It never was or is. Just a troll trying to start up something that’s not there. 

The “Best that SeTx” had to offer was PNG and they won a state championship… 

Key word there is, “yet.” In the meantime, we have the votive candles ready to go.
 

None, OF lacks players sufficient for winning a State Championship.

This outlines how incredibly stupid the grievance was. DISD didn’t file grievances about the Dallas-resident referees that reffed 4 of their 5 playoff games on the way to state. But suddenly they get a ref that isn’t from Dallas and it’s the end of the world. 
 
And, it makes clear what a lot of us already assumed, which was that South Oak Cliff had all the information needed provided to them in advance. This was just a pitiful attempt to gripe about losing. 

😄

Three appearances and one victory in 48 years, after taking massive steps forward in training, condition, and coaching, and only following years of getting donkey stomped by better teams , and we finally become one of those better teams and now it’s “waltzing”? 

What does Nederland have to offer? Poor facilities? 

There’s way more to it.  The incident apparently happened at Texan Live amongst a sea of purple.   I’ve heard what happened but this probably isn’t the platform to discuss it in detail.  Regardless, he’s not with PNG anymore.  

The complaint is not about PN-g.
The complaint is about an official having a conflict of interest or appearing to have one.
If he would have excused himself from the game there would not be and discussion about this.
Y'all can thank him for the distraction next time you get you teeth cleaned by him or you see him at the local DQ or Marketbasket.

And a couple of surprise guests at the end!  

This thread was started by a Nederland guy

Maybe since all state games are played in Dallas that in return, all officials should be from Houston area. Evens the playing field. Lol

Last year was a Dallas crew. Do we need to go pull backgrounds on them? Check Facebook friends? Relatives? Any ties to the SOC community? 
I don't like the optics of it due to all the negative conversation that it has triggered but the ref had absolutely ZERO impact on the outcome of the game. People need to move on. 

The ref in question is a Nederland Alumni? We should file a grievance over that. 🤣🤣

The Longhorns got an absolute stud. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see him get snaps at strong safety or on the edge. He's that versatile.
