Not the JV game tonight Warrior it's at Barbers Hill....that's why I was asking for directions ; )

What's the best way to get to Barbers Hill's stadium coming from mid-county?

Freshmen play at PNG....only JV is playing in Barbers Hill...so if you need a fix you don't have to travel far.

Won't be home in time to catch the show. Is there a way I can watch it online?

Picked up my PNG season tickets today and I can't wait for this game!!! My prediction....PNG Wins!

Soulja....being the working mom of boys who play football I tend to stay rather busy. In addition to that, the way I look at this season is that the district championship is up for the taking by the team who works the hardest to earn it. That being said....no matter what I will be in the stands cheering the PNG Indians on win, lose or draw. IMO....things are looking up and trying to base what this years team will do on what previous teams have done is a flawed rational. In addition to the new coaches, it will also come down to unfortunate injuries that happen, getting the calls to go your way, etc. Coach Faircloth and the coaches he has brought into the system with him have set an entirely new work ethic and mindset for our players. The players have bought into his program heart, mind and soul. I believe that this will make PNG a front runner for the district championship. But then again....I'm a die hard Indian fan who will always believe this, lol. ;D My comment to PNGbandkid had more to do with the recent postings on the Beaumont Enterprise Bayou blog site. PNG fans are extremely supportive of our football team. We are also supportive of other sports and activities. In addition to being supportive we also have an excellent educational system. Great teachers and administrators who work to ensure that our students have the abilities they need to be successful when they graduate and leave PNG. I just felt that his post proved what I already knew and I wanted to give him kuddos for that.

PNG Bandkid...thanks for showing everyone that PNG teaches their students more than just football!! Way to go kiddo you make us proud!

Steve was a member of our class of 1983. He was a wonderful young man and it's an amazing way for his memory to live on. I made the comment yesterday about one of the neat aspects of this gift is that many of the first players to benefit from the donation will be the children of Steve's classmates.

PNG's Fresh. and JV's both won in that stadium last year, so therefore it is not cursed ;D

Cibolo Steele has Mack Brown and Bob Stoops and other big school coaches out there trying to secure some of their players for their rosters. On a seperate note about this school one of their assistant coaches is a PNG alumn who played on the 99 Indian team that made it to the state championship!

Just a piece of information for ya'll. Coach Faircloth is wanting all football players to be at least a two sport athlete. So the idea that he is only concerned with football doesn't hold up. Seems he's more concerned with having athletes who are in great condition for whatever sport they play.

Coop has that scoop right.....No throwing up on Coach Faircloth's new turf!

Matt Desmond is currently a soph. Not quite sure how tall he is but he does have some height on him. He was the starting QB at GMS and during Freshman and JV the past two years he has shared the duties with Doty. He was the QB most of the JV season this year due to Doty being out with an injury. He's a great kid, intelligent and I'm sure he'd do an awesome job at QB if he gets the call.

Thought some of you might like to know how the funeral went...this is from pngindians.com message board Online Posts: 55 Re: Prayers for Indian Ken « Reply #46 on: Today at 11:15:08 AM » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The funeral went well. Indian Ken's pastor delivered the eulogy, after which, we (the band) played Cherokee as the body was loaded into the hurse. His body was then brought to Oak Bluff cemetery, where he was given full military honors for his service in the Air Force. The band kids in attendance then thanked Ms. Young for allowing us to participate in the service and one of our members told her that it meant as much to us as it did to her. She thanked us for our participation, and we dispersed. It was very honorable, as all parties involved (SETX Veterans, the band, several of the students in other extra-curricular activities, the pastor, the fans, etc.) were able to express their gratitude for his unwavering support of their respective groups. It was a very nice service. I'd also like to say that the school district needs to be commended for jumping through all those hoops (The state health department, TEA, Jefferson County Sherriff's Department, etc.) to get permission for the service to be held in the auditorium in such a timely manner. « Last Edit: Today at 11:31:00 AM by bandkid » Logged Re: Prayers for Indian Ken « Reply #48 on: Today at 11:38:50 AM » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We played the long version twice. We were unfortunately not in uniform, but with good reason. Many alumni came back and played Cherokee, and they only had their purple pride shirts, so the decision was made that we would wear the same thing. If you live within the broadcasting range of KFDM or KBMT, you might be able to get a glimpse of the funeral processions. Both stations had camera crews on site.

For all of you stating on the future talent at PNG being down, I wonder how you can judge future talent unless you have coached them? To make the assumption that having one down year at PNG means that there is no talent in the future is nuts. Not only did the Freshmen A & B teams have winning seasons so did the PNG JV. These boys not only have talent, but the drive and determination to continue to win. All they need is the right coach and staff to lead them in that direction.
