Rumor I heard this weekend was that Ned will be installing industrial grade fire monitors to more efficiently soak the field pre any game with PN-G. Should save taxpayers some money over time as opposed to rolling out 50 water hoses.

Why is Orangefield ducking Bridge City? It is a shame they are not playing.

Not to knock PN-G as I am from there but RJ does much more with much less than Heard had in high school.

Isn't Barbers Hill West of the Trinity or did they relocate it?

They tried to fire him last year. He is just too white.

Sad and pathetic situation at Desoto

Anyone have any thoughts on the big RT for PN-G? He was a soph this year.

Big bro addressed it a while back with a no comment. It was brought up due to people thinking RJ should go somewhere he could win a state championship. So it has been discussed here. The latest rumor centering around whether PNGISD allows Decemeber grads is new. Whether or not the rumor about RJ is true or not, there should be someone on here with knowledge of PNG having the program in place or not. If they do then the rumor could be shot down easily.

Of course not, but with it being discussed so much on other boards I thought the local board could have more insight.

The rumor is PN-G will not allow him to graduate in Dec. 2018 as they dont offer an early graduation program for seniors. Honestly I don't know where this is coming from but it is all over the boards for UT sports saying he will be going to either IMG or a private school in Austin.

Surely someone on here knows if PN-G offers mid-term graduation or not.

I hope so. A lot of the Texas football recruiting sites keep bringing it.

If the rumors are true and PN-G will not allow Roschon to graduate early (which is stupid if true) who will step up?

Angry little elf

Good conversation! I was a freshman Danny Malone's last year and heard his wrath more than once. He was your classic throw back coach. The only reason I compared 89 to 2017 was due to my friends brother playing on the 89 team (Scott Young) and the 2017 season just finishing. Scoring points is fun to watch but having that mentality to physically impose your will and make the other team fear you is something that is lacking today for most high school football I watch.

I am just messing with you. It is like Ned beating Crosby and PN-G beating BH. Then it flip flops. I enjoy playing BH, Dayton, Crosby. It isn't that far and they all have good fans that like to talk a little smack on here.

There is going to be a lot of travel involved for sure. I like what y'all will bring to the district versus what Livingston, etc didnt. I will miss Lumberton.

Now if you were from Dayton or Crosby I might believe that, being from The Hill y'all will just be another stepping stone on the way to the playoffs instead of sending y'all home annually after the first round.

Come on man! Y'all are hijacking my thread! Friggin people West of the Trinity, smh.

Ha. Good stuff. Maybe better at drawing up a 4 man WR play but some coaches still have't figured out that when you have two WR's to the left you should probably have 2 DB's covering them with a 3rd shaded over.

That is not the point. We were having a discussion about culture. 1989 to 2017 is a good generation gap and the question I posed to him was could the teams like 89' keep up with the spread offenses of today. So we dove down further and I wanted to get the boards opinion. Not for finger pointing or anything like that. Just some football talk for people who were there to see both.

Just a little historical chat for conversation. Also the 89 team season highlights are on youtube. My son will have a new favorite video to watch. How would you stack up the 1989 PN-G team versus the 2017 PN-G team? I had a long discussion with a good friend whose brother played on the 89 team and we agreed the 89' team would be too much physically for the finesse style of play we have now. Bost was a beast both ways. McGill would do his thing and Robertson was accurate with a big arm and line. On defense the 89' team had people that would hit (Carpenter brothers, Viola, etc) and some that played bat *bleep* crazy and would probably scare the piss out of the kids today (Binagia, Whitehead). The secondary with Bost, Gizzi, Droddy, Hart and Scott Young could hang as well so the wild card would be RJ. Thoughts?

So I wonder how they will make a bracket? As is two districts will battle it out for a spot in the regional final. If one district is much stronger you essentially will get a bunch of district re-matches.

Got it. So instead of 2 teams from 8 districts in Region 3 we will see 4 teams from 4 districts in Region 3.

I am still a little lost on how this plays out in the playoffs. Will there be less districts now? If so will the number of rounds in the playoffs decrease?
