I don’t know for sure but that would make sense

Update 6/5: new press boxes have been lifted into place and the platform around them had been built. Sorry I would have updated this weekend but the site was having issues.

Yeah, the law about just having them doesn't make sense. You won't have time to get them if something happens. At least have the throw device out just in case.

True about the waders, they just become anchors if you can't get them off fast enough. How strong of a swimmer you are shouldn't determine if you wear the life jacket though, because if you are thrown from a moving boat you could be knocked out or dazed which is what it sounds like happened in the case of this kid.

IDK, I would like to see a covered area on both sides to keep people dry .

yeah. I hope they cover the walkways to the concession stands and bathrooms too for when it rains.

Yes, very sad. Unfortunately the law cuts off at age 13 for mandatory life jacket wearing while underway. It should be changed to all must wear a jacket while underway. My father-in-law just reinforced this to my child, he's 73 and still wears his jacket when the boat is moving. Way to many people could be saved by this if it was mandatory for all, just like a seatbelt.

Nederland is at 1478 grades 8-11 as of May. The 7th grade class coming the next year will be a lot bigger. [Hidden Content]

Update 5/31: I was able to get closer and noticed that the sidewalks under both stands have been replaced and widened, which is a good thing if you have ever tried to navigate a crowd under those stands. The framing is continuing for the press box.

Maybe someone letting their small child type ??

That was a heck of a game. I was glad I was there to see it. There were a couple of other classic Ned/WOS games in the early 2000s before they moved down.

Press box update: Both old press boxes are gone, the framing for the new one is currently going up. The new boxes are sitting on the ground waiting to be lifted. It looks like the three boxes are going to be combined somehow, they have all the metal stripped off of the outsides. It doesn't look like there will be a replacement on the visitor side.

Nederland and PNG were pretty much in the middle of the range for 5A D2. Unless some radical moves are made in the bottom or top numbers they will stay there.

There is having a discussion and then there is just having a circular argument and saying the same thing over and over. Two different things.

both of you are arguing in circles, just stop.

ok, take it down a notch please.

Yes, made a run in district and then ran into Manvel in bi-district.

Umm , not so much. Every coach has a few bad years, even Neumann. MONTE BARROW 6 years; 39-27-0; 4-1-02017 Nederland 8-3-0 T2018 Nederland 10-2-0 R2019 Nederland 4-7-0 F2020 Nederland 9-3-0 C2021 Nederland 6-4-02022 Nederland 2-8-0

He's right, we got way off topic. Back to football!

He is shot-gunning all over the place. As I said, the city and ISD taxes are down from when the bond passed, the appraisal district controls the valuation of property. Even if the tax rates go down and the valuation goes up the total taxes paid will go up. Causation without correlation. Enrollment is currently up prior to last year at 5035 vs 5004 last year. As far as inflation goes, that's a national problem not just here in Nederland. BTW, Nederland ISD taxes are lower per $100 valuation than most local school districts in Jeff. County with the exception of BISD and Sabine Pass ISD. Nederland doesn't have the industrial base that both of those two cities have. Nederland City taxes are lower than all of the local larger municipalities. Bevil Oaks and Taylor Landing are the only ones lower. [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content]

First , if everyone is "bailing out" then why did Ned's population go from 17,547 in 2010 to almost 19,000 (18,856 ) in 2020? The City of Nederland lowered the tax rate again last year to 0.48 per 1000. The ISD tax rate went up for one year, and has gone back down the next two. The City and Nederland ISD have no control over the appraised value of property, that is handled by the County Tax Accessor's office. Klein wouldn't know a fact if it slapped him upside the head. He's just butt-hurt because he led the opposition to the bond and got it handed to him when the votes were counted. Also, he seems to have some kind of grudge against one of the school board members for some reason. [Hidden Content],+Texas+Populations+and+People [Hidden Content]

Give it a rest. Lots of sophs who have had a year of seasoning. QB play hurt them them a lot last year, and the RB tried to beat PAM by himself. We will see if this QB works out or not in a few months.

*sigh*

Any time you want me to taste test it, let me know. I am always down for good gumbo, except in the middle of the summer.

Gumbo is pretty subjective, everyone likes theirs a little different. Dark roux, light roux, and what you put into it. Kinda hard to mess up a chicken sandwich. Personally, I got sick on Chick-fil-a once ( not a store around here) and pretty much stayed away from it for years. Their little breakfast chicken sandwiches aren't bad though.
