  1. there is a link below his post. It's TINY, but it's there
  2. it does paint an accurate picture of the programs that are mentioned. That is what is a shame. I don't think it paints an accurate picture at all. Often, the negative posts are from parents who are upset because their darling daughter isn't playing enough (and we ALL know that she's the best on the field), or from an outsider who thinks he knows everything about the game and therefore very biased against the team. I think the negative postings are because people are generally unhappy about their game. So I agree that the negative posts make the team look bad - generally...it makes it look as thought the players, parents and coaches can't get along. JMO
  3. I T-Totally agree! Especially when the negative remarks are made by an outsider...neither player or parent.
  4. It was indeed a GREAT game and both teams played very hard! I didn't like the officiating, but the girls really played their hearts out. The fact that it went into overtime made it even more exciting!
  5. You know, my daughter plays on the PNG varsity basketball team and plays her heart out - whether they are beating the tails off their opponent, or getting thier tails handed to them...and, yes, central handed us our tails! I don't understnd the bashing that goes on against us all the time, either on here or on the court/field. Those girls play hard and do what their coach tells them to. Sometimes the parents walk out of the gym trying to figure out what the coach is doing, but THAT'S HER JOB not mine to coach those girls! We have seen some pretty classless acts against us also, but you don't see that put on the message board. Believe me, our girls walked off the court last Friday night talking about how dumb that game was because of all the fouls called. It went both ways, though. One of the PNG girls got fouled out too! And the Vidor coach, I think, did her best with what she had to work with. I think the girls on both teams played hard, but PNG outplayed Vidor. PNG has a team that is pretty good this year. Are we going to playoffs? Not hardly, but we can be a spoiler team. Please stop talking so badly about these girls. They are, after all, nice people off the court.
  6. Have to go with HJ on this one...even Port Neches beat wo-s...and it wasn't a close game!
  7. PNG beat LCM in the orangefield tournament also. LCM has a good team. Maybe PNG has one too this year
  8. Port Neches at the Baytown tournament...I know they don't count in girls basketball, but it'll be good be good practice...for the other teams!!!
  9. My daughter plays multiple sports in school and tried to play multiple sports out of school...the school program was more accomodating. She runs cross country in the fall, plays basketball in the winter and softball all the rest of the time. We were fortunate to find a team that the coach understood her other commitments, not only to school sports, but also as a CYM leader in her church. Does my daughter worry she's letting her team down? I don't think so, but some days she worries if her position will still be there for her when she gets back to practice. All of her high school coaches encourage multiple sports players; they tell the parents that it makes a well-rounded athlete. I think it's to keep tabs on the players even during off season . Most of the girls on the PNG softball team also play another sport - mostly volleyball and/or basketball. I don't think many of the softball players play outside of school sports, except softball or softball related practice (pitching, catching or batting lessons). I know my daughter LOVES softball and has given up her outside of school basketball team for softball. But she also realized there was no future for a girls basketball player from Port Neches...we have such an AWESOME team ;D and that helpped her make up her mind as to which direction she was going to go with her out of school time commitments.
