Yeah, this reminds me of a few years back I think in Creuder's first year as HC at Lumberton. The obnoxious LTrain fans touting that they would be the best team in the state that year after years in obscurity, including the horrible year before. They all said AC would make them a power day one and talked so much crap that it was funny. Then they bombed! We tried to tell them it would take a couple of years (and it did). PNG fans lets not be this years LTrain fans circa 2006! ;D Besides, it's pretty hard to argue with the numbers out of Dayton the last few years. I'll take that success anyday!

As a PNG fan the loss to WOS at there place when Long was tackled inside the five and held down long enough to keep us from getting a spike and chipshot FG to win it. Or amybe the Loss to Nederland in Pasadena after Rita. The Interception! That essentially kept PNG from the playoffs.

I think he is refering to the Heat coaches being upset with the umpires and Crush coaches on the appeal. Not sure why the umpire didn't call it right off the bat. He said he saw it?? Also not sure why the Heat coaches were insinuating that we (Crush) were cheating because we appealed? That's part of the game. It is not like we talked the umpire into anything. We simply asked if he saw the guy touch the ball and he said yes and awarded the runner the extra base per the rules. If anything the guy that interfered with (tossed) a live ball back on to the field and then acted like he didn't do it could have been labeled! We are grown men and women. We make mistakes. I am sure at some point I will make a similar mistake, but I will certainly fess up (especially when so many people witnessed it). It was a very good game. You guys played well all weekend.

I hope it is something classy and not one of Nike's Oregon Ducks outfits!

I know of a couple of Cardinals that came from the California JUCO League that were pretty good additions: Damany Hendrix Nashid Beard I think there was another??

No way!!! Based on that one practice, PNG will score 70 pts a game and blow the competition out the stadium each night. We will not need talent at all because the schemes will be so incredible that the oppossing defense will think that they are playing against 15 players each snap and they will just give up! OK maybe these NDN fans are going a little overboard (maybe a lot overboard). I appologive for their overly enthusiastic statements. I think they just got carried away because the offense will be so drastically different and diverse than before. I have said before, us NDN fans should be happy if our coaches and young men show vast improvement and finish at or above 0.500 with the real promise of great things in season 2.

I would love to scrimmage WOS and Dayton. Two excellent programs would give a great test before the season, but If PNG only gets one scrimmage due to the Spring ball, I don't see a split scrimmage happening. I thought I heard that PNG and PAM would be scrimmaging. Can anyone verify this?

By pro's and D1 ball you mean baseball, right?

I agree...Not many better than C. Michaels, but J. Charles. Jamaal had 4105 yards rushing and 52 TD's in two years. 2051 yds his Jr. year and then 2054 yrds his Sr. year (in just 9 games). I don't have his receiving stats or his Sophomore season stats. In his first game back from shoulder surgery, posted 371 yards on 49 carries against Midland Lee in 2004 ... Had 400 yards on 31 carries and six TDs versus Spring Westfield. Great numbers against great competition.

Jamaal Charles hands down. The better question is who was the second best SETX Running Back since 2000. 2nd - Probably C. Michaels - WB 3rd - Mosley Nederland (Overall numbers don't lie and put up great numbers against some stout opponents in Lamarque, FWood and Waller)

Gonzales from LCM is a good athlete, but if he had good athletes around him as you say then they would have won at least one game last year. Don't be a homer. I am from PNG and would love to tout a PNG combo because they will throw much more next year and have two good WR in DeRon and Segura returning, but facts are facts, the QB spot is a question mark and lacking in experience. I would have to say the Bellows to Brady combo because of experience, let alone talent, will be tops in 20-4A. Don't bash the players at LCM. There were more than enough good athletes and talent to win at least one game, if not more. I think you really underestimate just how bad the former head "coach" was. Not bashing the players...Bashing the homer! To say Gonzales to anyone next year will be the top QB-WR connection is totally biased. What is that based on? There are far better proven combos in the district. Gonzales may build a report with a wideout this year and become a legit answer to this question his senior year, but not next year.

I was shocked the other day when I went to pick up my daughter from GMS and saw the athletics period was working on position drills with a host of football coaches (at least 5). This means that the varsity coaches are already working with the youngsters!

PNG hasnt had a "program" in place for many years. Exactly. PNG had a few good teams, but the talent was not being developed at the lower levels. That is what a good program is built around.

: Little late are we! 1 losing season in 7 years? How about 3 winning seasons inthe last 9. Not making the playoffs with half of the district going constitutes a losing season! Going 5-5 with similar talent as your neighbors (who have a good PROGRAM and not just a few good teams) is not acceptable. IT'S OVER MOVE ON ALREADY

I know he usually increases his money totals and ranking at the end of the season, so maybe this year with the early season jump he made and a late season rally he will not have to go to Q-School. I just expected more after a pretty solid start.

NDN Nation has reason to be excited, but lets not forget Coach is building a program not just a team! Don't expect too much in year one. Anything better than 5 wins is a plus and should be seen as such. The future is bright and what we really needed around here was someone to build a program that competes for District Titles and State Playoff runs year in and year out. It looks like we have the guy to do the job. He certainly has a plan and is not afraid to make decisions.

Ditto YG. Young guns went over to Lake Chuck and won this weekend as well. Nice job ladies after some adversity the past few weeks. Way to pull together!

If you hang around Cheater any longer maybe we will figure out how to steal one eventually! ;D Great job ladies. Battled hard till the end and went down swinging with the tying run on base. Congrats!

What has happened? This was suppossed to be his year. He said he was healthy and ready to compete at the top of the leaderboard week in and week out. He started out good, but has played horribly as of late. Is the knee hurting him again?

Laberge has a twilight deal after 2PM on the weekends for $50. Very nice course. After 3 PM at Bayou Din on the weekends it'll run you $25. If you go online to Aquilla golf (look up bayou din) and register they have some pretty good coupon deals for all three Aquilla courses (Babe, Bayou Din and Palms). For the money around here the Palms was the nicest course, but fighting the mosquitos made it not worth going out there. Is it re-opened?

Where is the tournament?

Terriffic Job? What are coach Prices responsibilities? If he is responsible for the big men (Custer and Brown) then yes he did well B+. If he is responsible for the gaurd play then he gets a solid C.

I'm not arguing that. But if you look at the RB and WR votes, it is evident that there are a lot of PNG folks that vote with their heart and not the facts and there are a lot of PNG folks on this board. If a PNG QB was on the list he would have gotten a boat load of votes that he didn't deserve.

This is more of a sign of who votes. Neither Beard nor Harmon will be the best RB's in the area next year. if PNG knew who would be at QB next year, then the PNG faithful would have voted him high on the list without any justification for it other than he is PNG!
