BH, Angleton or Dayton would also be good non-district for Vidor.  They need to get more exposure to Houston teams to get them ready for district and the playoffs.

Santa Fe is a good non-district game, and BC is ok.  At least he is trying to get some more competitive games than they used to play a few years back.

Just a little perspective on AR high school ball.  a 5A team in AR is probably equivilent to a 3A team here.  7A is thier biggest level,  and the majority of those schools are in the NW Arkansas area,  and most of those teams play each other at least a couple of times in district before meeting again in the playoffs.  Bentonville , Rodgers, Springdale, Fayetteville and Fort Smith are all within about 50 miles of each other and make up the majority of the teams, with the rest around Little Rock.  Bentonville and Rodgers are similar to Ned and PNG, right across the highway from each other.  Bentonville has one three state championships in the last few years.  The point being, I don't think this would fly in TX.  The football is much more competitive here.

Back on topic.  the discussion is the Ned vs PNG game not coaching comparisons.

gotcha.

We are way off topic.  Ned-Vidor Game!!

Let's get back on topic here. DV,  I think there is something that you are not taking into consideration and that is that Ozens attendance level has fallen quite a bit since they opened and also transfers to the other Beaumont schools.  So if Boutte came back the talent pool would be smaller.  Not saying it would be less talented players, just a smaller pool to choose from.

Yeah, I was thinking that the awards were in Feb.

Wow.  Its warmups!

Hmmm..  What part of back on topic did not compute with you?

OK,  back on topic!

Still have a ways to go.  Keep rolling!

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="1161451" timestamp="1326816736"] Well, let's step back here.  By a rough count and even rougher geography, there were 23 games in the, for lack of better phrase, Beaumont area.  Looking at the posts here, there were only complaints about capacity being an issue at 1, yes only 1, of those games.  And if I may be so bold, despite the many great matchups and rivalry games that are yet to be played, it is likely that the only issue regarding capacity will recur when the two teams that played in that lone game play again on January 31st. I also find it interesting that the Merrill Center was brought up for as most of you know, I live in the Katy ISD.  I am still waiting for when the "profits" of the Merrill Center, which has hosted consecutive Southland Conference tournaments, countless predistrict tournaments, UIL regionals and is even host to a professional (well, sort of) indoor football team, to provide me relief on my Katy ISD property taxes.  I paid those last week and it certainly didn't come this year. [/quote] Amen to that Grad,  I just built a house in Katy ISD.  And no, I don't have a child in the district yet.  That will be next year.

The Butch Thomas Basketball Center??  Sorry, couldn't resist. :)
