Time to scrap all the coaches and the AD. Every program consistently underperforms every year. With the exception of women’s soccer. Since Marco Born has taken over baseball has went 37-72. Basketball is 40-38. Football is 9-12. Volleyball is 16-42. Softball is 60-74. Women’s basketball is 36-34. 
 
When you have a guy from Memphis running the show what do you expect. Hired a guy from San Diego as the football HC. 
 
SETX is home to some of the best talent in Texas. How can the home town school continue to fail to get these guys to commit? My guess is the AD and HCs don’t see the value and talent in this area. 
 
Baseball is atrocious. No reason it should be like that. 37-72 over 3 years!!! 
 
All Marco Born cares about is raising money and doesn’t care about wins and losses. He needs to go. We need a local guy running the show who will go after the best talent and can compete with bigger schools. I know Lamar isn’t going to compete with A&M, UT, or Tech. But there’s no reason we shouldn’t be competing with La Tech, ULM, UTSA, Rice, etc. 
Obviously the people in charge don’t have a clue how to get wins and build programs. They are just happy to be there. 

They simply don’t care.
 

I predict that they will play at 2 PM next Saturday in Nacogdoches.

Meaningless?  It was the difference between an outright DC or a 2 seed for Crosby...if they thought it was meaningless, that way be why they got beat!!
I agree that it was good to see both teams emerge healthy for the playoffs.
go Dogs! 

No one knows the details of the first incident other than the article circulating that says the student was involved in a similar incident during soccer. That’s it. That’s all anyone has heard. No one knows the actual severity. If the first incident was as similar as the recent incident, I imagine the coach removed the kid from the soccer program and the kid served a suspension. I imagine the kid was put on a growth plan to help the kid grow and get a second chance. I would like to believe the coach has felt the kid, up until this point, has obeyed and shown growth since the first incident. It is very clear the kid did not value and has ruined his second chance. The coach approached the situation with the mindset that he would like to put the kid in a situation where he had an opportunity  to learn from his first mistake. I know in today’s world people do not like to offer second chances, but I believe that is probably what happened in this situation. I have seen second chances work, where a kid returns to a program and becomes a model citizen. Which it seems a second chance is what this kid received. I have also seen students be kicked out of an extracurricular program and go down a path of crime, incarceration, or even death due to the lack of organization and discipline a sports program may offer. It’s a two way street. The coach gave the kid a second chance, the kid screwed it up. To me that’s the situation. 
 
Now I have a major problem if the second chance was warranted due to his major role on the team instead of the betterment of a kid.

Doesn't the whole team get punished when there is a holding call, offsides, personal foul, block in the back, etc.? Also, doesn't the whole team get punished when a player is found to be ineligible and the team has to forfeit games?

Let’s make it simple folks.  If you don’t want to wear a mask, don’t go to the freaking game..  Don’t let your attitude ruin it for everyone else.  It ain’t rocket science.  😡😡😡

No tourneys but will host state tourney.. very head scratching choice.. 

PNG in the playoffs for the 4th time in school history? Pretty impressive first year from coach Smith in a tough district. 

Nederland won

Running up the score? The last few tds were int return, fumble return, pass by a backup qb. We supose to just kneel on it with half a quarter left? Let those reserves play...

Hello Nederland Bulldogs we are looking forward to a great football game between the Mavericks and Bulldogs. It is always great to play a team we have never seen before, I hope your team is as healthy as can be expected this time of year. Marshall always wants the best you can field! Win or lose we both should be proud because right now many teams are finished for the season. The Mavs have a great fan base but I’m afraid this game being at 4pm on a Friday and 4 hours away will not allow so many to attend. I assure that Coach Mathis will have the team fired up for a great game. Good luck to the Bulldogs and we pray that everyone coming from you town has a safe journey to and from NRG Stadium!
GO MAVERICKS!

Unless you know all players and their parents, there's a good chance you are sitting next to the player's parents. That could get interesting.
No dog in this fight but kudos to your coach.

I think both Dayton and Crosby will be upset that they are not playing this week

Dude u gotta do better than that.  That gives me a headache 

How about we ALL just let this go? Everyone move on please!!
Locked

That's integrity, and Santa Fe has it.
The rumor is they were watching Crosby's defense formations and how they reacted to in-game plays.

Now that the best two bands in the area have left the field, let’s get back to football. 

How about this?  You guys all suck at providing game updates...

c'mon pirates!!!! lets go!!!!

I actually posted that after some joking comments were made at the stjfl coaches meeting. No excuses. Nederland outcoaches PN-G and that is all there is to it. 

''Some broken heart's never mend''

Akifan, your excuses only make the victory last year that much more enjoyable!  the fact that Nederland won even 1 time when you guys have a once in a generation talent has to be disappointing in Indian land

This website comes in handy

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Actually Nederland ISD might have the lower school tax rate but PNG actually has the lower school taxes because their homestead exemption includes a 20% exemption PLUS 25,000 so using 100,000 dollar home as an example PNG's taxes would be 794.43 vs. Nederland at 862.50.

The City of Nederland's as well.   As far as mat's statement about lack of industry, Nederland does tax Sunoco and some of the tank farms near it, but no, they don't have near the industrial tax base of BMT or PA.   The low taxes are a testament to good management  by the city and NISD to provide services without raising taxes.   That said, I am not against a small raise in taxes to build new schools and infrastructure.  We must keep investing in our children and our city to move forward.

I don't know but when you label someone a 'Crook', out here, you're arrested and put away.  With all the investigations by FBI to name one, when was Thomas arrested?
