Penny is 100% correct in this statement. I am basing this on the size of team and the number of kids. Did we have the talent to be the best in district, I don't think so. But, we should have done WAY better. It is a coaching problem. Post the job and see who applies.

It also happened between Nederland and Lincoln about ten years ago and Ned DID go to the playoffs the following year.

Actually Kelly is not as good a thing as one might think. They don't pay much at all and he is hampered by the lack of assistant coaches he can hire since they are paid poorly compared to the poorly paid public schools! I think Long will take the first decent public school HC job that comes along, but he ain't goin' back to be anyones OC. I think Long would be a mistake. PNG is an attractive job that will bring much bigger names so why settle. Back when Malone got the job there was some heavy hitters that applied and I believe PNG has more to offer now(facility etc...), well that is if they will get right on the money.Don't take me wrong I am not saying anything bad about Mike, I just think we can get a whole lot better.

Please bring in Long, what the heck has he done, nothing, now if his son can play qb again then i say bring him in. AMEN he has done nothing at Kelley.

We can do better, Long would be good but why would you not see what kind of applicants you would have before calling for Long. IF a PNG HC job was to become available I think you would get much better choices than Long apply. PNG HC position would be a very attractive position (IMO) so why settle. There was some top names apply when Malone got the job and now we have a nice top notch facility.I don't believe Long could bring the program to where it was with Malone or where Nederlands is with Neumann. Just my .02

Welch has not coached the defense. He was the offensive line coach, and before he came back to PNG he was offensive coordinator at Galena Park.

Glad to see them signing local talent, now lets support them. We need to do better than when football was there before. I plan on doing my part.

Ya'll have problems its kids playing football for crying out loud. Two grown men on the same side! just plain stupied!!!!!!!!!!! I agree, flat out embarrassing. Come on folks, get real.

On the flip side, heres a happy thought for you, Vidor and Lumberton both making the playoffs. Thats something thats never happened in one season ;D ;D ;D Congrats on a successful season regardless of how the rest comes out and good luck the rest of the way.

I agree, its about as classless as one of Lumbertons coaches running over and swinging a towel in front of the PNG boys on the sidelines following the game. Someone needs to teach your coaches manners. Peace dude!

I was not impressed at all with Livingston when they played PNG(PNG is a bad team ). Judging what I saw off all teams playing against PNG, Nederland looked best. Thats why I was surprised at Livingston even in a close game much less a victory against Ned. I sure thought Nederland was better than this,wow. I expected more out of Lumberton also. I thought they were good in every aspect except passing.In my mind the district champion should beat A VERY WEAK PNG TEAM a little easier than Lumberton did. Looks like the district title is still a wide open shootout.

I've seen both play, Nederland is the better team in my opinion. Nederland by two touchdowns.

Lumberton Central Nederland Vidor

Yes, Matt is a good man but his time is up. He has been there longer than any other coach has stayed at PNG. and I don't want Long or anyone else who has ever coached there before. Would like to see a change like we did when we hired Malone. It is an attractive position, with good following and a new facility. No need to settle.

Pull for Lumberton, no one else likes us. We will be pulling for ya'll and all 204A teams in playoffs. Best of luck

I'm looking at more than just this year.

come on now, everyone has their off years We have been making the playoffs about every three years, not exactly what I call a good program. I have been saying we need a change for years. No, I wasn't one of the ones who was dogging the coach the first couple of games last year then turned into one of his fans when we started winning. Most coaches would have won with that group of kids. Can't anyone see the pattern:Get down a couple years and the fans get stirred up for change then boom, along comes a strong group of kids. Then guess what, safe for a few more years while being mediocre at best. His time is simply just past, time for a change.

Ditto, not the kids faults either.

Good luck to Jason Thibodeaux and the Sharks! Ya'll are in our thoughts and prayers.

Not trying to be negative on my team but I honestly have to pick Vidor. The Pirates have a good team this year and the Indians are struggling.

Nederland will be able to throw against Livingston.Too many targets to stop. I know Livingston got two picks for scores against PNG, but PNG did manage to move the ball through the air against them.

Vidor - Hate to admit but thats how I see it We may not win another one this season Nederland - Could be a good one but the Dogs look tough and a balanced offensive attack Lumberton Livingston

PN-G is always up for the challenge. When it's the Bulldogs VS the Indians, it's anyones game to win (or lose). Best of luck to your Bulldogs. Hope to see us both advance far in the playoffs!!
