Fat guy

Surratt has 8 State Titles           Joseph has 5 State Titles

Nothing is in a straight line.  Can't win them every year.  BUT -- to say these coaches had nothing to do with their schools winning a State Title is a little silly.  And since they didn't win it this year, and to then try and say, "see, it's not the coaching" is even more sillier!  Oh, BTW, Carthage never won a State Title before Surratt got there.  By the standards a lot here believe, this was just a "coincidence!"

Agreed - coaching can’t be ignored. But I think it’s short-sighted not to look at what Faircloth did with both eyes open and give credit where credit is due - PNG success, where we had it, under Faircloth, wasn’t guaranteed. Faircloth developed offensive talent on a year-to-year basis as well as or better than any coach in the area. And that kept us in games we should have lost. Would I like to see better defense? Yes. I also think we could be better. But there’s no guarantee a new coach is going to reach even what Faircloth did. But the one thing that’s certain is certain PNG fans are going to be toxic to the new guy and we’ll wonder in a few years why he left. They may as well start getting the for sale signs ready for the new guy. Sometimes PNG fans just don’t deserve a good coach. They don’t want a team, they want a club. Coach Thompson would have lasted five seconds at PNG because the first time he required an ounce of toughness from the kids he would lose the team. And no matter what Faircloth ever did, he was getting back-bit in every direction. I’m going to laugh my head off if Sulphur Springs win state under Faircloth. Not saying he will, but maybe he’s better than we gave him credit for? Best of luck to the new guy. I hope he likes listening to parents whine.

Art Briles!

I hope so 

Do they sell tickets at the gate or do you have to buy online (asking for any of the state championship games)? I am in the area and was thinking of going to a game tomorrow. 

Good game Crosby. LH came out ready for revenge. It’s one of those nights where you almost think Crosby would pull it off on a different day. LH’s run game is ridiculous. Vidor needs to camp out there and take notes.

Crosby to D1 by 2 students. 

Will this make Crosby the smallest D1 school?

Dang we are getting Art Briles?

I would bring in Art Briles immediately if we could

I only know one member of the school board personally : Jake Lefort. He’s a former star player for PNG, and a former PNG coach (coached me). I think his son is on the team now. My opinion of him is through the roof.

If this is true, I’m furious. What a joke. I hope he becomes Nederland’s offensive coordinator just to give PNG the finger.
