However it's formulated and calculated, it adds up to a number, and NISD's is the lowest in the area.  Industry, no industry, bonds, whatever, it's the lowest and has been for a long time.  Folks in Nederland have been getting a really good deal.

The 3 new board members all pro bond with a very respected person getting voted in that carries a huge amount of weight to get people to vote. I believe the majority of the members now are for a bond. After talking to a lot of friends and people in the community majority of them are for new schools and stadium! 

Well, some like yourself say you don't want taxes increased a little bit to pass a bond.  Well, it don't really matter because the board, consists of mainly of old heads won't vote to pass one.  But, good things are coming to Nederland.  Those old heads are slowly dispersing and the younger guys will make some great moves.  I can't wait to see...

NISD tax rate is the lowest in SE Texas, and has been for a long time.  

The High School, in 1974 I think.   The rest were built in the early 60s, with Langham being the oldest, built in the 1930s.

hopefully.  He was one of I think three new trustees elected this year.

I understand that you are upset and believes the article puts some sort of necessary stain on Blain.  But let me ask you this, did you believe that the toxicology and autopsy results of the sudden and unexplained death of a star college football player who played in, of all places, the fourth largest city in the United States would go unreported by the media altogether?
If so, let me shatter your illusion:

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Look, I myself have railed on the limits of newsworthiness of any act beyond the football field, good or bad.  And I will confess that many times the target of such railings have been the staff at the Enterprise.  But I think your ire at the Enterprise in this case is a bit misplaced.  First, the idea that if Matt Faye wouldn't have published his article, that the autopsy reports would have been Harris County and the Padgett family's little secret is a foolhardy one.  Second, the explanation of why an otherwise healthy 21 yr old football player died suddenly is indeed a newsworthy story.
The coroner's report, the Enterprise report or the Houston TV station's report do not change the fact that Blain Padgett was a good young man who came from a good family.  Instead of getting upset with the media for reporting it, you should hope, as I do, that authorities and the Padgett family (as they have pledged to do) find how Blain came across this substance so that justice can be done and his death will not have been in vain. 
 

Disagree.  By and large we are all simply a product of our choices whether they be good or bad.  I don't think simply sharing a link that sheds light on what transpired takes away from the young man..We all make mistakes. Many of us are fortunate to not pay the ultimate price while many others are not. If anything it should serve as a cautionary tale as well as a great opportunity for others to educate themselves and loved ones on the dangers of opioids.  
 

Players and coaches are sharing nude videos of high school girls, but please leave football out of this lol

You are correct, Chris Theriot is Nederland DC now

Can anyone explain how BH scored the game winning run on an obstruction call?

what inning

It appears that the most prevalent argument against a pitch count is that "well we only have one pitcher who can pitch."  If that were a truly valid argument, then there would be no pitch count in UIL baseball games, either.
It  appears that due to the numbers, there does not appear to be the need for a pitch count like on the baseball side, but the numbers need to be watched carefully.

It was a 1 vs. 4, but in this case the 4 was a co district champion. They had a 4 way tie for first. Not your average 4 seed.

Officiating is blamed too much when we lose games. Umps can’t shut a team out 

I get it they want the big name some of these guys making  decisions are company guys well dressed politicians they don’t want backlash from a fair weather community who barely supports anything anyways . A lot of ppl complain but the attendance for education as well as sports are low from the community.and it’s not everyone but it what it is . No disrespect to anyone but I’m tired of seeing the coaching carousel revolve around old coaches, you have quality young coaches who can get it done if they had the type of support some are giving to these old heads. But hey who am I just a guy on the outside looking in and if they choose wrongly some of these parents and kids are jumping ship. 

My understanding on attendance is that Houston area travels North, but Dallas area doesn't travel South. 

The city of Arlington owns AT&T but Jerry Jones and the Cowboys are the operators of the stadium thus making negotiations much easier and more direct for the UIL...
As for Dallas people not driving to Houston...I think the bigger problem when the games were in Houston were Houston people didnt drive to Houston to see the games....a good portion of attendance at AT&T Stadium are locals who just make it an event to go there for playoff games etc. 
I do believe the games should be rotated, but I did a study over the past seven years (when the single site title games got started and if you take the average mileage from the schools participating thus far from each of the 3 stadiums AT&T is by far the most central locale (note I didnt include six man).....those numbers don't like and backup what the UIL says
  2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 AT&T Stadium 147.1 206.5 183.3 171.9 182.6 161.2 179 NRG 203.7 244.9 236.4 251 252.1 226.3 246.4 Alamodome 231.9 222.4 243.4 269.2 235.5 246.5 230  

I think Dickie V should get it purely for entertainment purposes on this message board.  Place would go crazy.  

Oh, and the powers to be are working on getting the ok from Miami to use the "U"...

Article stated that it was 8 years old. Warranty is 8 years and life expectancy is 10. So, they decided to go ahead and replace it.

Yes, it is all about PRIORITIES.
It is sad when COMMUNITIES don't support the future. Yes, taxes are high. Yes, raising taxes sucks. But its called making a small sacrifice for the greater good.
Selfish adults, raise selfish children which leads to many of the problems we have in the country today. It is all about taking care of "ME" and the heck with everybody else.
 

Nederland wins 9 to 0. Another shutout for Nederland. They have the most shutouts in the district and also congratulations on your district championship. Good luck in the playoffs!!!!!

Colton Beeson senior linebacker for Nederland committed to play for Texas Lutheran University early this morning.
