I saw a North Shore Mustang t-shirt....... Full disclosure: The person probably hasn't set foot in the USA lol

I think it’s pretty well-known that I’m not a big trump fan, but I don’t think anyone on here would put me at near his level, and I’ve repeatedly stated I’ll vote for him in the election. The point i was making is that trump has put considerable time and effort into trying to install folks that repeat his wildest claims, or push out people who have dared to question him, at the detriment of the Republican Party. He’s done this at all levels, from national elections down to small district elections like the one we’re talking about. It really screwed the party in the 2022 midterms, where he was frequently able to influence who the Republican Party nominee was, but then they lost the general election because they were lousy candidates. The most obvious instances of this was when his tv doctor lost to a walking, talking potato, and when his football player with an IQ of about 74 lost to that crook Warnock, but there were several other instances that eventually cost the republicans the massive gains they should’ve seen throughout the country in the middle of Biden’s massive failure as president.

I personally would have loved a different candidate. I personally would have loved to see someone “electable” and someone that is more of a centrist. However, when the choice is Biden vs. Trump it is such an easy bubble to color in on that ballot. All kidding aside, our country as strayed from God and we are suffering the consequences of that.

Same to yall as well. Our town is about to do a send off for the boys. They do it every week during the playoffs for every sport

As a former Mustang player it has been tough the last couple of years watching the decay of our football program. Since the “retirement “ of CT the program has lost its swagger. Teams no longer fear us as they have in the past. They smell blood in the water. Our kids have lost their confidence in the program. If the Superintendent and school board wanted to hire a person of color there are so many quality coaches across the state that would have been a much better hire. I pray when HH’s time is up that the school board and community will do an exhaustive search for a head coach with a proven track record. One that exudes confidence and instills discipline back into our once great program. Our kids deserve the best and right now I do not believe they are getting it.

I would have voted for third candidate if I could have. This was the lowest nastiest campaign on both sides that I can ever recall. The amount of money pushed into each candidate wreaks on influential corruption. I think it’s disgusting that this is our political world. I think Phelan screwed himself with his failed attack on Ken Paxton. I also think the voucher topic had an influence on some voters.

Orangefield went to state 89-90 falling to Southlake then made it to regional final in 2010 losing to Jasper

POLL

All counts, it worked. We are officially a Bananna Republic.

I read your posts and agree on some things and disagree with some. I guess my one question is (in your opinion) who should we vote for? Third party candidates do not get elected. Kennedy is only going to dilute votes which will benefit Democrats. Write-in votes do not win elections and I’m not even sure they are counted in a presidential election. Many people get on and express views and tell us what is wrong with X, but never give the answer for Y. I am extremely sarcastic and passive-aggressive, but genuinely hope this post doesn’t come across that way. Trump has my vote until someone persuades me otherwise (and I’m a Never Biden). Had another R been nominated they would have had my vote.

It is one of the starkest examples of people voting against their own political and economic interests I have ever witnessed. To have the Speaker from your district is a big deal. That office is the most politically powerful one in the state, with the possible exception of the Lt. Governor. Excellent post.

Let’s be honest. Trump’s supporters are just like those sports parents that we all hate. You know, the ones who will overlook all of their kid’s shortcomings and deficiencies, demanding that their kid be made the qb. They’d rather lose with their kid under center than win.

I have a friend that can’t get out of trouble. It’s never the controlled substances or the stolen vehicles that got him…. It’s always the cops who didn’t have probable cause to pull him over that are to blame. If Trump weren’t cheating on his wife with a porn star, this wouldn’t have happened. If Trump hadn’t tried to kill all of these stories, he wouldn’t be in this pickle. If trump hadn’t falsified records, this wouldn’t have happened. If Trump hadn’t been a complete jerk to anybody who wouldn’t indenture themselves to Trump’s will, this might not have happened. But if you want to blame the Justice System, go right ahead. You sound just like those people that complain that the system is racist after they get caught slinging cocaine.

This just ensured Donald Trump will be the next President of the United States!

You’re not wrong. I feel like the prosecution wasn’t warranted and the verdict (like the one in the market valuation case) were miscarriages of Justice, and a waste of our time and resources. BUT, everyone who cheered “lock her up” is busy eating their crow today, or they should be. Unfortunately for Donald, the Ds weren’t kidding about doing what Trump promised, then didn’t deliver. If you don’t want your candidate to get convicted of falsifying the records I regards to hush money paid to a porn star, DONT NOMINATE MEN WHO CHEAT ON THEIR WIVES WITH PORN STARS!!!! Sacrificing morals and decency for the sake of “our favorite and we want him to win” has a price. Mean Tweets have a price. Fighting with EVERYBODY comes at a price. And no single man is bigger than the USA. He might be darling of MAGA, but the other 3/4 of the country aren’t going to stand aside and capitulate to the will of the red-hatted mob. Don’t blame the Ds for what happened today. The Rs are complicit, and in my opinion carry most of the blame for giving the tools that the Ds used to do this. I’ll be honest. I’m less concerned about what the world thinks about the old guy who craps his pants and can’t finish a thought, as opposed to the “godly, conservative” candidate who does all of these unspeakable, tasteless, insurrectionist, and sometimes criminal acts with no drop in support from his unwavering fanboys. It’s disgusting.

And when you politicize the justice system.

This is what happens when you nominate a piece of crap.

The reporter for NBC was smiling (unable to hide) as she read the verdicts. A certain poster which sports a red bird probably has already popped the champagne. We’ll never hear the end of this. It is not funny, it is not humorous, and this is really a travesty. A porn star and an admitted perjurer as the two main witnesses can help achieve a conviction for a former president who is the current nominee for his party. I could go on and on - but sadly this is our country’s direction.

No date but I saw the mustang logo and I took a double check lol.......

Fair enough. But honesty and IQ are pretty unrelated. Hell, it was good enough to get Biden voted into the presidency. And the lies come out of him on a weekly basis.

He did last time, but I’m ok with gridlock too.

This makes you a RINO according to the ones "in the know"... Good post! And I couldn't agree more with majority of it

Surprised you didn't see some BISD shirts down there......

I was hoping it was a NS shirt from 2009 or 2011 😁

The greatest point on all of this, and exactly what makes it a great day in SE Texas is the commercials are over!!!! Phelan wasn’t all bad, Covey wasn’t all bad, but by the end of it I would have voted for Brewster’s “None of the above!” Politicians serve their own interests and everyone’s politician is bad (except for theirs of course). I personally am for: 1) Higher fuel prices, 2) More taxes and restrictions on private property owners, 3) Cancelling student-loan and even credit card debt, 4) Covid restrictions (bring back masks) 5) Giving more tax money away to countries at war (except Israel), 6) Tearing apart the nuclear family 7) Supporting college kids to protest anything and everything they want with no consequences, 😎 Higher and higher food prices 😎 Go Biden/Harris - just MASA (Make America Soft Again), Beto for a high-cabinet spot.

All these schools that left should've stayed in the Southland from the get-go. Grass isn't always greener.

According to UIL archives, the playoffs were created in 1920, when the all schools played for one ring and ended in a tie. Divisions were created in 1925 when 1A was created and then the "B" division was created in 1926 and only played to BI-District. Starting in 1928-1972 the "B" division played to regionals or Bi-district, it varied. By then the PVIL and the UIL had multiple divisions up to 4A. Nederland won regionals in '42, and '45 and tied in the '44 regionals . They were undefeated both years ('42 & '45) with one tie in '42. PNG won regionals in '34, '46 and 47. They were 9-2 in '34, undefeated in '46 and 11-1 in '47. PA Austin won regionals in '43 and '47. They were 9-1 in '43 and 9-2-1 in '47. PA (Which became PA TJ) - played in a division that went to State. Those teams are listed above. Orange- (Precursor to WOS) had several good seasons in the 19-teens and 1920s but I don't see any playoff information. *EDIT* See playoff history at the top of the post* Beaumont- Played in the 1A division once the playoffs were created so played the full bracket.

This is absurd and completely false. We are thrilled with Allie McDaniel leading our volleyball program and girls athletics. She has already made a tremendous impact at PNGHS and we look forward to her working with our girls for many years to come. Sincerely, Dr. Scott Ryan PNG High School Principal
