Yep, I think the addition of a new CO Wilson will give it the push it needs to pass. It was shaky before with the first proposals.

Looks like the bond is getting pretty close to finalized.... Published July 22, 2008 10:43 pm - Nederland ISD trustees gave their blessing to a $126 million master plan during Tuesday’s meeting. NISD approves $126 million bond master plan Mary Meaux The Port Arthur News NEDERLAND — Nederland ISD trustees gave their blessing to a $126 million master plan during Tuesday’s meeting. The next step, Superintendent Gail Krohn said, is to inform Lance Fox of Orgain, Bell and Tucker, L.L.P. the district’s bond council. Then the LanWalton Program Management firm will begin work on details regarding the bond. But, Krohn added, the board only approved the plan and did not ask for the issue to go before the voters. The plan, presented by LanWalton Project Manager J.P. Grom, calls for three new elementary schools, a new C.O. Wilson Middle School, heating, ventilation, air conditioning work for Central Middle School, main building modernization at Nederland High School, [glow=red,2,300]new press box and similar work at Bulldog Stadium, turf for the field, land purchase [/glow] and modifications to the alternative education. Grom distributed a detailed, spiral bound booklet titled “Facilities Master Plan.†The glossy cover includes pictures of the district’s mascot, students and several of the district’s facilities. Melissa Wong, business manager, said the district’s bonding capacity is higher then first thought. Officials had planned on a cap of $125 million for a bond and just recently heard their bonding capacity is near $150 million. Grom also addressed a second phase to the bond and with the better bonding capacity, the district could conceivably return to voters in six years for additional funding for phase two. [glow=red,2,300]Phase two would cover the district’s athletic needs and include a new athletic complex, natatorium, modifications to the boy’s baseball and girl’s softball fields, tennis court[/glow], new Central Middle School, modernization to the high school Career And Technology Education building, new administration building and Ag barn. Cost escalation to May 2009 puts phase two at $82 million. That figure jumps to $118.7 million in 2015 and $161.4 million in 2020.

how about the '57 Dogs? Undefeated that year and missed out on back to back Titles by a field goal the previous year.

is that supposed to intimidate us? Nope, just letting you know.

Lots of payback coming to the raiders this year, we don't forget.

Yes, which is why I am more inclined to gripe about the coaches in the press box not noticing what is going on and making adjustments.

What ? no lumberton? I figured they would be good for at least #1 or 2. At least according to them.

Here is the newest info on the NISD bond: [Hidden Content] It looks like somethings will be tabled till Phase 2 of the bond. Opinions?

The Bay City game in 2000.

Not a central location, plenty of hall of fame players from other cities, etc

What did they do put a gauge on it?

Yeah, Beaumont is more of a central location for the area also.

Really its the suburbs. Most of the Houston ISD schools are at or close to 3A levels.

From Ned- Bellows and Cardenas, and maybe Salenga.

We didn't make a living on the run last year either. Hopefully that will improve this year.

When I was in high school at home games, We always walked to Hardee's. (shows you how long its been). Now, I usually sit there and talk to someone about the first half. I don't want to fight all the people in line for the concessions and bathroom, so I usually get food before halftime. Same thing at away or playoff games.

I agree. Ned by a td or less.

lol :

Green's holding out for the Nederland job. No reason to miss out on the extra $$$$.

according to the review-"a total of six starters" are returning---is that incorrect? Exactly. You only have two starters coming back on Offense. So your "whole o-line" is not coming back. Neither is your "whole defensive line". The RB is going to have a tough time finding holes with a brand new o-line.

What bond? the lumberton bond failed.

You brought up the previous 10-12 years. Sorry you didn't like what else it brought up. The fact is, you haven't beat a 20-4a team in the last 5 meetings in the playoffs. If you make it past the first round, you probably won't make it past Lamarque.

of your last 12 times in the playoffs you went out in the bi-district round 5 times, 5 times by the hand of a 20-4a team. 2 of those 5 were by Ned. You have actually been to the third round or past 3 times, never past the semis. 0 state titles. 17-19 playoff record. You made good use of all those district titles.

Dayton and PNG? WHAT?!?!?! Are y'all serious?! BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! Funny how cocky dayton has gotten with only two years of sucess. Especially when the MC teams were the ones booting them out of them playoffs in the previous years.

I would agree WOS for non-district and MCM for district.
