A BUC 77

Does anyone know if they're going to upgrade the lights? Seems a little dem compared to other stadiums. At track meets the runners disappear when they go around that back curve.

Prayers to family, the school and all of Newton. He was an inspiration to all of SE Texas.

Modified seating was mentioned on the list of changes for the stadium. What exactly does that mean. Adding seats. Stadium seating.

Great news. Thanks Nederland. When will the turf go in?

I think people will stand in line for a better, safer and more up to date NISD. I didn't ask anyone on there views. It was a mix crowd old and young. But that is good. We will get an answer Saturday night.

I voted yesterday evening. Waited in line over 30 minutes.

If the stadium part of the bond passes, will the upgrades be done this summer?

Yes, this is a massive bond. Yes our taxes will go up. But when I take a real good look at all the school buildings, parking lots, lighting, pickup spots, the stadium, it all needs upgrades. It could be 1972. Upgrades that should have been done a long time ago. But they weren't. I get a little envious when I visit other schools that have new upgrades. So go vote.

I happen to know a well respected retired teacher who is against it. I respect that even though I am for it. That's why we vote. Approved are not, Nederland will be OK. I think the school and city will be in a much better state if this bond passes. If they'll build it people will come.

Pardon the interruption, but where can I get a YES VOTE sign?

The school and field improvements will have a permanent effect on the city. It will attract new families and businesses. The city might even improve the adjoining streets, sidewalks and lighting.

I think EC has the talent and the coach. EC all the way.

Well, she had one thing right.

It takes a village to raise a child. This is a high price to pay, but I think it worth it. We must continue to upgrade the school facilities to keep up with an ever changing world. Like someone said earlier, it's not going to get any cheaper. The football stadium upgrades will in time save money on upkeep. Bathrooms are a disgrace. Nederland is one of the last districts in 5A (that regularly go to the playoffs) that play on grass, mud etc.

About the time I submitted I realized what you meant.

Way to go Newton. You keep putting the Piney Woods on the map. God bless Coach Johnston. What an inspiration. Inspiration has an unusual history. Figuratively means the drawing of air into the lungs. I hope this win inspires Coach J.

Actually French tided Odessa Permian. My X was a Buffalo Bell.

Tuff loss Bucs. It would have been nice to get that win, but none the less fantastic season. Best season in my memory. One less turnover and we win. Now you know you guys can compete with the best.

Heck of a game. Watched in on Texan Live. Both played hard. Looks like Silsbee made less mistakes. It takes a lot of planning for these games and I guess both coaches agreed on Friday night, took a chance. All the kids riding buses and family traveling is the only issue I have. Hope everyone made it home ok.

Forget about years past against C.Y.. New team new focus. Geaux Bucs

PNG will have to do some passing. RJ will get his runs. If the defense holds them a few times, you guys have a chance. Definitely keep the ball away from #5.

Great Idea. Don’t know if we should make that kind of change at this stage of the game. Pardon the pun.

Good to hear. Going to miss Friday's game but I will be listening. Geaux Dogs

Good luck Bucs. May the momentum be with you. Load the box and make them throw.

I don't know how in heck we won this game, but the dogs hung in there. Don't approve of the unsportsman conduct calls though. I know this is a passionate group. That is good and bad. Congrats dogs and lets play a perfect game next week. We will need it. We knocked off Pearland Dawsen a few years ago and we can do it again. Was that the game plan not starting #11 or is he banged up a little?
