PN-G bamatex

[quote name="WBbear" post="988806" timestamp="1301174212"] There is someone name Stump over here. [/quote] Stump is an excellent coach and West Brook owes a great deal of its recent success to him. Still, you're talking about putting Harrison's drive, Faircloth's resourcefulness and clever play-calling (he's demonstrated that his playbook is chocked full of clever schemes over the last two seasons), and Neuman's experience on the same sideline, along with all of the PN-G, Nederland, and Memorial coaching staffs. The Mid & South County team wins the coaching battle hands down. Now, like D3zii said, it isn't all coaching. But even with that said, each of the schools will complement the others in their group. Where one school lacks, the other two from that area are bound to make up and that will provide a great deal of skill and depth in just about every position. West Brook and PN-G have the sheer numbers, Ozen, Central and Memorial have the speed, Central, Memorial and Nederland will bring good defense to the playing field, all six schools have a pretty good passing game, and PN-G and Ozen both have a strong receiver corps. The only real discrepancy between the two teams would be coaching. One thing's for sure: it'd be a heck of a game to watch.

You'd have excellent teams and probably excellent players in every position. Really, the question comes down to the coaching staffs, and I'd have to give the edge to the Indians-Bulldogs-Titans combo.

[quote author=dawgnut link=topic=81687.msg985823#msg985823 date=1300587106] You're right smitty a 70's car can take you anywhere you want to go if you don't mind stopping every so often and replace some parts. You and your buddies appear to believe that with proper maintenance you can keep a building forever. This is not true, if you have an unlimited budget maybe, but if you don't then you have to realize that all things have a usable life and after that you spend more to maintain the building than it's worth. But I am sure you know all this since you probably have all the facts a figures from your days as the head of a maintenance department that has maintained several campuses up to your excellent standard! [/quote] [/quote] smitty, we've been over this. Our stadium was under threat of being closed down by the safety inspectors because of its poor condition. It would not have made it through Ike. If its replacement wasn't a need for that reason, I don't know what is. I do have one question for the posters on this site. I remember someone saying NHS was built in 1971. Has it undergone a major renovation since then? I know it's had some cosmetic work and a series of technology updates, but has it had a complete renovation? If not, it seems reasonable to have one since the building's been around for four decades. [/quote] The High School is the newest school in the district. 3 elementary schools were built in the mid-sixties. CO Wilson Middle School is older than that. The other elementary is 60 or so years old. Central Middle School use to be the High School. [/quote] Has the high school undergone any major renovation since construction? If that year is correct and the building really is four decades old and it hasn't been remodeled in that time (which wouldn't surprise me based on how it looks), then to fail a bond that would rehab or replace it would be a travesty. I'm not a Nederland resident so take this for what it's worth, but as an outsider looking in, I think Nederland has two options at this point. The Nederland community can either be proactive and start remodeling and replacing its schools and other facilities as other districts in this area have started to do, or it can do as PAISD and other districts did in the 80s and continue to use these worn-out facilities, and watch as Nederland falls apart over the next 25 years. I have many friends who live in Nederland and a few who work in NISD that say that this process has already started and everything I've seen first-hand so far confirms this notion. Honestly, I hope Nederland takes the first option. I've never lived in Nederland, but even as an Indian I think it's a nice community and would hate to see it go downhill. Believe it or not, I actually went to pre-school in Nederland (parents got me out before it was too late ;D).

This is just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth. Nederland needs a bond. With various school organizations and extra-curricular activities, I have been in several high schools. I've been in Nederland, LC-M, Sabine Pass, West Brook, Hamshire-Fannett, Lumberton, a number of high schools outside of this area, and of course PN-G. I [i]used[/i] to think that the old PN-G middle schools were bad. That was before I walked into NHS. I mean no offense to the good people of Nederland - I have many friends there - but that high school is by far in the worst condition of any school I have seen. I have been in schools that were built before NHS that are not in such bad shape. My school was built two decades before NHS and was in better shape before construction for this bond began. I understand the concerns with finances, especially right now, but the citizens of Nederland need to take a walk through NHS's main building and see the bad shape it's in, and then go tour some other local schools. Other parts of the Nederland campus, namely the PAC (because it's only a few years old), are in excellent shape, but the main building needs to be replaced.

I'm fine, thanks. Hope the trips were productive. I remember that there were phishing problems on the site. Could that be what brought it down?

I noticed this a couple days ago myself. I was actually about to PM you, dawgnut.

I don't know, but I've got a feeling something will be on the news if it's true.

Stone is ready to go. I sit next to him in one of my classes and Gizzi and Grusecki are both only a few seats down; I also have a class with Jalali and Jorgensen. They've been itching to get started since the end of football season and, judging by the scrimmages they've played so far, it looks like that anticipation is paying off. The Indians have a tough road ahead of them, but they've hit the ground running and I think they're going to be just fine.

The worst is probably Livingston's stadium (sorry, Lion fans). [/quote]Y'alls stadium is top notch.   Good looking field...  Lots of seats...  Bad part is horrible parking.. Our stadium have great consessions...  Excellent parking. Huge scoreboard...  And state of the art double decker  stands.  It's bad point is the blind spot on the sidelines...  (and probably that old man they put on the mic that never knows the home team's player's name... [/quote] Parking is improving. They've laid down two new parking lots around the stadium (one's where the old wing of the high school used to be), and I heard something a while back about them working to get a field on the west side of Merriman Street paved. That said, I don't think there will ever be a way to squeeze 10,000 parking spots into that crowded of an area. The only things that really stick out to me at the Beaumont complex are the highway noise and the lack of a track. I haven't sat on the upper deck yet, so I don't really know what it's like up there, but I never could figure out why they didn't go ahead and lay down a track. Luckily, the noise from the interstate normally gets drowned out by the crowd and the bands, and the Beaumont schools have always had excellent concessions. ;D

The best is definitely a tie between Indian Stadium and Beaumont's complex (although there's nothing quite like a game on the Reservation). The worst is probably Livingston's stadium (sorry, Lion fans).

PN-G ;D Central Nederland/Ozen/Livingston/LC-M Third and fourth spot will be a battle.

Merry Christmas

Brenham Christian Academy? You mean Brenham, a town of about 13,500 (no bigger than Port Neches and smaller than Groves and Nederland), has [i]two[/i] good football teams? That settles it. BlueBell gives you superpowers.

Alright, I know this is the football forum (feel free to move it, moderators), but I figured more people would see this here. I received a message on Facebook from PN-G soccer player and 2010 Homecoming Queen Natalie Hager. She's up for a scholarship and needs some help to get it. The message is posted below: "I need your help in order to win the Champs Sports Champion scholarship. Please visit [Hidden Content] to cast your vote. Enter your email address then type in natfourteen using the search engine. The entry called "Defining a Champion" should appear. You can vote once everyday until November 28th."
