Accidents happen it doesn't matter if the player is in season or not. This is not on a coach or a player its just an unfortunate situation. Many athletes all across the state participate in multiple s

Say what you want about  Monte, he was and is a class act. On and off the football field. Wishing him nothing but the best in whatever his plans are and sincere gratitude for his efforts.

Baseball and softball facilities are way over due!!!!!!! I have seen 2A and 3A have nicer facilities than what we currently have! If you look at the current 5A Schools in our district they are miles apart from our current facilities!

Have you been to the baseball field lately?  it is not bad.  I agree on the softball facilities.

They are indeed for upgrade and slight renovations but they aren’t that far apart…. I know when the bond was put together and the athletic part of the bond I was very vocal on wanting to add turf to the baseball and softball fields and new lighting for the gym… a few spoke up it but not much gained traction. Actually several baseball people wanted to keep it grass, but I’m glad a very generous donation last year from the Richard family do some much needed upgrades to both baseball and softball fields.

Was there last weekend, Senior Babe Ruth & Coach Green do a great job with the limited resources & funds they have to work with keeping the field nice, but it is far from being a quality save field to play on compared to most 5A programs.

I don't know that I am a big fan of turf for baseball/softball, maybe just for the infield.   Maybe some of the PNG people can comment on that as far as how it plays.

Turf is the way to go, plays great, safer, hardly no up keep, will get more revenue with tournament organizers wanting to use your field.

I know they did the infield at the babe ruth park , mainly for the ASK kids so I wonder how the other teams like it.

What @KF89 said it indeed the way to go on the diamond. Especially the fact it rains, here. Senior babe Ruth uses it. Nederland could host the senior BR World Series I bet, I know they already have done the southwest tournament, ford park could rent it out for their World Series, and coach Tyner I’m sure could put something together…. Kinda sad the local BR has a turf infield but not the HS atleast…

I have coached at the Babe Ruth Park the last 4 years & every one loves it.  Number of kids playing in Babe Ruth has increased a great deal since the turf was put down also.

They love it. Every kid in setx has been playing on turf infield since a kid due to ford park facilities as well as LC, Houston and where ever else they traveled too..

No noticeable increase in injuries?   Do they see any weird ball bounces during a play?

No increase in injuries, all bounces are true & no weird or bad hops taken to the face. Same with softball, much better surface to play on then dirt pits.

Very very true, dat.  And the coaches very well know it, including CJ. That's why certain players play. It just so happens that the team this year, and somewhat last year, was good enough to cover for them. 

What are you talking about?

Any latest on when Nederland will start receiving applications?

@navydawg31  @KF89

According to NISD statement to the media yesterday the statewide search process was started.

School board prez. played at North Texas football for Todd Dodge so there is that quality connection to help get the applications flowing.

      You start opening fire and drop about 10 or 12 of these protesting morons it will break up pretty quick.    This ties in with killing the chicken killing dog.

      This is an easy one. We have let grifter unqualified coaches infiltrate our children and convince them that they will be D1 athletes if they only focus on a single sport. We've got kids, with single digit ages, playing their sport year-round to "maximize exposure" despite the fact that most college coaches on the recruiting trail will value a multisport athlete. This translates to the school year and ends up with kids being football, basketball, baseball only kids. Track is pretty much the only one left that keeps kids playing other sports and that's primarily because football coaches demand their football kids be track athletes. I literally talked to a man last night, who just moved to Texas from Oklahoma who was telling me his kid played on two different football teams during the season last year. One for his school, one for his select league. During the week the kid was a RB for his school, and on the weekends, he was a QB for his select team. This would equal 7 days a week of full contact football for a 6th grader......6th grader. Once that ends, rolls straight into 7 on 7 for the spring and back to football in the summer. All this for a kid, who seems to be a good athlete, but probably has a ceiling of D2 at best, if he doesn't burn out before that. Parents are silly and think they can develop their kids into being the next Quinn Ewers, but they completely miss the biggest factor in creating that type of athlete.....genetics. Genetics are undefeated. Always have been, always will be. Play sports because you love to compete then compete in everything you do. Quit giving bullsheet rings to "state champions" every single weekend all over the US and get back to valuing team championships won at the community level to build the continuity when they are young. This is the only way to reestablish the pride once felt by every kid in every town across Texas when they got to put on a uniform with their school colors. Otherwise, we can kiss the magic of high school sports goodbye.

      I hear you but I don't think this is going to ding her political career as much as some think, especially in SD.
