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.

      Multi-Sport Athletes

      By gogo173489 · Posted

      I don't completely disagree. Individual drills, running, lifting, etc. I agree are perfectly fine. This incident involved a padded practice where a kid was injured. I just think it would be best for an AD to have the Varsity athletes currently participating in another sport just sit out. It's an activity with a much higher risk of injury. We don't see basketball kids practicing/playing while football season is going on do we? No, because no AD would allow that. Let's have the same common courtesy for the other sports too.

      Kristi Noem Kills Dog

      Too many people haven’t heard “Dirty Old Egg Sucking Dog” by Johnnie Cash.  Way too many flakey people in this world. Was she fighting dogs to death across state lines? Lots of the people who would condemn Noem  had absolutely no problem with Vick. I guess politics is a whole nother animal.

      I have some friends whose “fur baby” bit somebody in the face because “she wasn’t feeling good and he was “in her face.”” The young man needed three stitches on his chin. She still growls and snaps at people all of the time… she’s a cocker spaniel with a bad attitude and she bites.    Those same friends are expediting their first actual skin baby this summer… they’re not worried at all, and I’m certain that they’ll be shocked when the dog maims their baby.     God gave us dominion over the animals for instances like this.

      No argument in your rationale however politics isn’t rational. Said people vote. Those votes don’t have to be approved by a jury deciding if a voter has a valid reason for his beliefs. There are things that I firmly believe but I would never say them, even in private (what is private anymore?) if I ever intended to run for office. It doesn’t matter if my private thoughts could be proven 100% as correct, it still might very likely lose voters and an election.  Maybe you missed the Trump presidency……

      Well at least she didn't eat the dog. Then again, she might have become president.   I can't believe this went to page 2 without anyone mentioning Obama eating dog meat.
