Kind of apples and oranges.

Award has always been about the season a player has and not what he is projected to be or ranked.

I look at like college awards. Been many a player not win a Heisman and be a better pro than that Heisman winner.

I do get what you are saying but some of the voters went strictly by the numbers. Can't really fault them for that.

Is there a list of past winner/nominees somewhere?

I know this is gonna come across as biased, and that's ok to me.

a player is considered as the #1 player at his position in the state but does not win  this local area award.

 

This is one reason why this award has lost its credibility.

The band and band parents are very important. Having them seated so far away completely takes them out of the view of the parents who care very much.  The football experience is more than just the game. It is the band, drill teams, twirlers, inflaters, cheer leaders, etc.   I think bands can influence momentum of a game.  

On another note, I am STOKED to see what the Coach Rich can do with Nederland!!!!   I'll be happy to be competitive this year!!!! I can't WAIT for football season!!!

Sounds like the Band parents are a bunch of helicopter moms.

You get to watch them march at halve time.

I agree with you 100% Newton will win district. With the exception that we will have the best QB to ever come through Woodville, it will be the same old song and dance as before.

You think Tolar is the best QB ever at Woodville?

I find that one hard to believe.

Not really sure what you're trying to convey, I can just tell you that not a single player or coach was content. No matter the improvement, winners want to win.

Maybe they left him on JV to get some reps instead of sitting on the bench on Varsity.

I see the excuses have already started.👀

Newton will have no problem handling Woodville.

Isn't normally Woodville making excuses?

August 30 - @Klein Oak

September 6- @BU

September 13 - La Porte

BYE

September 27 - Montgomery Lake Creek

October 4 - @Huntsville

October 11 - Splendora

October 18 - @West Fork

October 25 - Nederland

November 1 - Montgomery

November 8 - @Dayton 

This is about as good a district travel schedule I could have hoped for. I would have preferred Nederland be one of the away games, to get either Huntsville, Dayton, or West Fork at home.  As it is, we get both Montgomery schools at home. 

Regardless of travel, this is a tough schedule.

Preseason, I could see us going 1-2. La Porte, MLC, and Huntsville all in a row is going to be like a playoff run. And, Klein Oak looks like they’ll have some serious size and strength. First five weeks will be a murderers’ row, not counting BU - Who knows what they‘ll be next year, but if I had to guess I’d say “not good” until they have a new coach. 
 

West Fork, Nederland, and Montgomery are wild cards. I think Dayton and Splendora won’t make much noise.
 

West Fork: New schools are always intriguing. Sometimes they go straight to being good. 

Nederland: New coach, determined to get back into the mix. 
 

Montgomery: I don’t know much about them, other than we played them in the playoffs in ‘21 and ‘22. They strike me as always being at least pretty good. 
 

Hunstville and MLC are both returning talent from last year, and we saw how good they were. If Lake Creek had beaten us, I think they could have come away with a state championship. We’ll be good too, I think. But, this is going to be an exciting district. 

 

 

just think the year after this you will get to go to Montgomery twice......

They couldn’t even beat SA last year when they were starting Freshmen and Sophomores. 
 

I said either Shelbyville OR SA.

They did beat Shelbyville last year and Shelbyville beat SA so anything can happen.

I can see them geting 1-2 district wins next year.

Faircloth won four of his last six games versus Nederland, including three in a row. The losses to Nederland were only an issue until Neumann left. That wasn’t the ultimate cause of Faircloth’s demise.

But as a Faircloth supporter, I don’t really think this is worth rehashing now. We have a generationally great coach, and the program’s in the best shape in decades. No use reopening old wounds.

Neumann owned Faircloth even when PN-g had more talent.

I don’t see it as about stature so much as a way to judge where things are likely going. If, seven years from winning a state championship, a team hasn’t been back to state, it’s roughly safe to say they aren’t likely to be back to state any time soon. But, I take a more broad approach - Getting to state is nearly as useful an indicator as winning state, and getting at least to the semifinals means you had a team that was capable of getting to state. So if I had a coach getting to semifinals or to state seven years in a row, never winning state, I’d think long and hard before firing him on the hope that a new guy can replicate that success. A coach that can get you that far is one of the best coaches in the state. 

But, I like the seven year rule because in seven years you have an idea of what is a coach’s “normal” (statistically) outcome. 

Is that why PN-g fired Faircloth?
