Just my 0.02 cents.  I'm not being critical of anyone's opinion, but...Barbara Comeaux has earned the right to stay at PN-GISD as Girls AD/Golf Coach for as long as she decides to get out of bed and put on purple and white.  If there was a Mount Rushmore at PN-G, she would be on it.  She is worth every penny that PN-GISD pays her and then some.  She is one of the strongest pillars there is upholding the core values of PN-GISD:  Honor, Pride, and Tradition.
Share more info/intel about the new DC.  Inquiring minds want to know.  Here's to Jayce Nelson either staying with PN-G to learn under a mentor, or if he is moving on, here's to him landing somewhere that is a great fit for him and his family.  I've never been a coach, and I can't imagine that my livelihood depended upon 15-18 year old kids.  Need good/great coaches, but also need ballplayers.  Jimmys and Joes have a lot to do with how good a coach is or isn't.
Go Indians.  Peace.

Play the best 11 kids on offense, defense, and special teams.  Going both ways will not hurt the kids or their performance.  They are 15-18 year old kids, in good shape, and resilient.  They will not drop dead from fatigue due to a HS football game.  Play the best kids in all three phases of the game.  If parents complain, tell them and their kids to get better in practice and earn their spot on Friday night.  I will never understand the mantra, I will not play kids both ways.
Go Indians.  Peace.

I'd say, great season Crosby.  Hold your head high.  You played hard, and I hope that you had fun and enjoyed the ride.  To Aledo, give your recruiting coordinator a raise.  He or she has brought in some great talent year after year.  The Bearcat OL was big, strong, and mobile.  The RB and WR were top notch.  The transfer QB from San Diego, CA was a smooth game manager and distributor of the football.  Not every HS program has an abundance of OL kids 6'4" - 6'6" and 250 lbs. - 295 lbs.  Keep that recruiting pipeline wide open.
Go Indians.  Peace.

What do the posters here think about President Trump skipping the inauguration of President-elect Biden?  Sore loser?  Do not care?  The election was stolen and President Trump should never recognize the Biden Presidency and Administration?  President Trump should man-up and attend?  Show some leadership and make a gesture to heal America?
The last time a President did not attend a successor’s inauguration was 1974 when President Nixon left the White House under the cloud of Watergate.  President Nixon did not attend the swearing-in of President Ford.  Before that, unless you count those that died in office, e.g., Presidents Kennedy, Roosevelt, Harding, McKinley, and Garfield, you have to go back to President Andrew Johnson skipping the inauguration of President Ulysses S. Grant in 1869.
Out of respect for the office and to uphold an example of decency, President Trump should attend.  Just my 0.02 cents.  After President Carter lost and he carried the burden of Americans held hostage in Iran along with the burden of a terrible economy that had divided our country, he attended the inauguration of President Reagan.  When President George H.W. Bush lost, he attended the inauguration of President Clinton.  Even after Bush v. Gore and hanging chads, President Clinton attended the inauguration of President George W. Bush.  President George W. Bush attended the swearing-in of President Obama and President Obama attended the inauguration of President Trump.  Even with many differences, those men did the decent thing and showed the world that Americans overcame divisions and peacefully transitioned power.  That we were still united through thick and thin.  Again, out of respect for the office, I think President Trump should reconsider.  What do you think?
In two different books, I read where Presidents Bush #41 and #43 left letters in the Oval Office welcoming Presidents Clinton and Obama and giving them words of encouragement and healing.  Those types of gestures to heal the divisions within the United States now seem long gone.  I hope we can return to the days where our days of unity outnumber our days of division.
I'm guessing a few responses will be: (1) the election was stolen, no need to attend; (2) attendance is not required under the Constitution; and, (3) Too little, too late...Pelosi started this mess...where were the olive branches of peace and unity when President Trump held the keys to the White House?  Perhaps not...maybe I'll be surprised.  Let's hear it.  Thanks.
Peace.

Tip of the cap to the Crosby defense.  Branch, Dunn, and the Crosby offense get a lot of credit, and deservedly so, but the Cougar defense is playing outstanding football.  Active DL that plays in the backfield, fast LBs, and some ball hawks in the DBs.  A very good tackling squad.  I like their chances to win it all.  This PN-G Indian is pulling for you.  
Go Indians...Go Cougars!  Peace.

The greatest Chief to ever lead the PN-G Indians. The Ethridge family is one of the strongest pillars upholding the core values of PN-GISD - Honor, Pride, and Tradition. Prayers to the Ethridge family and to all of the PN-G Indians mourning Coach Ethridge.
Go Indians!  Peace.

Good season PAM.  All of the people hammering the Titan D and coaches, take a break.  It is a game played by 15-18 year old kids.  
Go Indians.  Peace.

Can't be mad at this one! Congrats to HH on the win and congrats to MHS on a good season!😎

The early seventies were hard times for Vidor, but during the mid- and late-seventies and continuing into the mid-eighties, Vidor had strong teams.  The problem was only one team went to the playoffs and Vidor was in a district with PN-G, Port Arthur Thomas Jefferson, Beaumont French, and Beaumont West Brook.  All of those teams won a state championship or made the state finals during 1975-1985.  SE TX had its fair share of champions back then.  Vidor made a run in 1978 under HC Philip Brown.  They won the DC and played a good Aldine team in the Astrodome that was probably twice their size in enrollment.  People in Vidor must have forgotten the strong Pirate teams coached by Ronnie Thompson (1975 and 1977) and Philip Brown (1978-1983).  Under Ronnie Thompson, the Pirates threw the ball all over the yard when most teams were running 3-yards and a cloud of dust.  And, he had a bag of trick plays for every game.  Add to that some strong defenses, and the Pirates won some games.  Under Philip Brown, the Pirates loaded up on the line of scrimmage and hit people in the mouth.  They had big OL kids and usually a big RB to pound people into submission.  That's what they did in 1978.  All of that to say, Coach Matthews would be third in my pecking order.  He's had some good teams.  He uses his personnel and finds a way to max out wins.  He runs a clean program and high school coaches from Orange to El Paso love the guy.  If he ever left Vidor, he could have another job within hours.  Several HC would hire the guy just to have him on their staff.  He is a known commodity and a well-liked man.

I'll take that bet.  Blind squirrels do find nuts.  The Indians will fall ass backwards into at least two or three first downs.  They may get one or two first downs due to penalties.  The Purple Pride band will fire-up Cherokee for that.  The defense does not make many stops, but FBM will fumble, throw an INT, or the ball will bounce our way at least once during the game.  That's another Cherokee moment.  The band kids may need to stretch in the 3rd and 4th Q.  Well, if you have to stand and stretch, that's a Cherokee moment.  Someone in the student section or a giddy band parent will yell out that PN-G beat Nederland this season.  Well, that's another Cherokee moment.  The band director will sit through the game thinking about his pay check and then, poof, he will suddenly remember that he gets paid to play Cherokee.  So, there's another opportunity to fire up the song.  Pho Rizzle, you should change your prediction.  The score may be 70-24 in favor of the Buffs, but PN-G will fire-up Cherokee at least 20-25 times.  It's in the DNA.  Honor, Pride and Tradition...long live Cherokee.

Can we borrow the RB #10 and perhaps two or three from the defense?  Promise to give them back.
