New twists fill Mid-County soccer rivalry By Tom Halliburton The Port Arthur News NEDERLAND -- Call these new twists to a time-honored Mid-County soccer rivalry between Nederland and Port Neches-Groves. First, the starting times changed on Thursday due to the threat of inclimate weather during the later stages of Friday. The varsity girls game has moved from 5:30 to 3:30 p.m. The varsity boys game has changed from 7:30 to 5:30 p.m. If weather permits, the junior varsity boys game figures to finish off the night at 7:30 p.m. All three games will be played on the Spurlock Road venue of Prather Field next to the Nederland High School campus. "It will be different to be the visiting team on our home practice field," NHS boys coach Rob Bledsoe said. "But that's the way were going to do it this time." As originally scheduled -- clear back in football season -- this will be a varsity boys game featuring Nederland at PN-G, because the Prather Field venue has served as PN-G's home soccer field all season. Deadlocked in a tie for second with Vidor, the Nederland boys (8-3-1 and 6-1-1) will complete the first half of their 20-4A schedule in their road black jerseys seeking their fifth straight win. The work of freshmen Brent Salenga, Bay Calloway and Jordan Wagner truly have been a big boost to coach Rob Bledsoe's already-young team. Coach Don Sandell's Indians (6-3-3 and 4-2-2) definitely need a win to improve their chances of getting back into the 20-4A playoff picture. PN-G may own the advantage if the game may go to a shootout because the Tribe may have be fresh from plenty of recent shootout experience. Two of the last three Indians' games -- Little Cypress-Mauriceville and Beaumont Central -- have gone to shootouts. The Indians have lingered throughout most of the season without their senior midfield leader Stephen Zimmerman who has been slowed by a fibula fracture. Zimmerman's status for today's game remained in question. While both Mid-County boys and girls teams are chasing leader Lumberton in the standings, both Mid-County girls teams are entering this afternoon with more secure playoff postures midway into their district races. Nederland (9-3-1 and 6-1) and PN-G (8-4 and 6-1) have been operating some or most of the time without the watchful eyes of their respective head coaches. PN-G has recorded six straight shutouts under acting head coach and assistant Crystal Werkheiser while head coach Aimee Bates has been on maternity leave. Nederland has operated some without head coach Julie Johnson due to her additional commitment as head swimming coach. Kelli Spell has been in charge of the Lady Bulldogs in Julie's absence. Johnson and Bates plan to be back on the job today, but the 44th annual Bulldog Relays force the game to go to Prather rather than Nederland's normal home field, Bulldog Stadium. "We will wear black but we will be the home team, so go figure," Johnson said. Yep, that's a strange one. The Lady Bulldogs have been led by a group of five players that should be back next season. Those are juniors Taylor Carlson and Megan Melancon plus sophomores Jacie Bell, Lauren Washburn and Lindsey Bombek.

Big-time scoreboard ready to go for Bulldog Relays The Port Arthur News NEDERLAND -- Those opening-day track and field performances at the 44th annual Nederland Bulldog Relays may not be quite as impressive as the scoreboard which may display them. That's because the Scoreboard and Finish Lynx Package at the southwest corner of Bulldog Stadium makes its public debut at today's meeting -- weather permitting -- and it ought to be in a league of its own for outdoor high school track and field in southeast Texas. "The scoreboard package is without equal outside of Mike Myers Stadium at the University of Texas in Austin (site of the annual University Interscholastic League state meet)," long-time area track observer and Bulldog Relays public address announcer George Hawkins said. Besides the big scoreboard, this Bulldog Relays has other big things in mind, too. The biggest field in the meet's history is expected to converge on the Central Middle School area by shortly after noon. There's 18 varsity boys teams, 18 varsity girls teams and a junior varsity division. All eight District 22-4A schools will enter this meet. Four District 21-3A squads will be there. The two 21-5A Golden Triangle entries -- Port Arthur Memorial and Beaumont West Brook -- will be in the field along with Beaumont Kelly. The long-distance entrants will hail from Pasadena South Houston and Barbers Hill. Besides the big field, Nederland meet officials obviously are big-time concerned about a potential big weather problem. Big-time rainfall quantities are in the forecast for this weekend. The concern about weather issues already has influenced the soccer coaches to move up the Nederland/Port Neches-Groves Mid-County Madness soccer affairs by two hours. "We will have to shut it down at the first sign of any bad weather, but we certainly hope we are able to get the meet completed," Nederland athletic coordinator Larry Neumann said. Most noteworthy of this area's returnees from the 2007 season would be Beaumont Ozen junior A'Lexus Brannon, the defending state 4A girls long-jump champion. Besides taking the gold medal in Austin at 19-5.5 in that event, Brannon also placed fourth at state in the triple jump and fifth in the 100-meter hurdles. The agenda starts with the first set of field events at noon, followed by the second set at 1:45 p.m. The girls 3,200-meter run begins at 3:15 followed by the boys 3,200-meter run. The running finals schedule opens at 4:15 p.m., but it promises to be a lengthy one with three different divisions -- JV boys, varsity girls and varsity boys -- and multiple heats in many events.
