I’m curious what more there is, unless it would be in bad taste to share here.

Wait — this kid moved over a year ago? Let him play. I don’t know the full background to this story, but it seems to me that the transfer rules exist to prevent opportunistic moves that would arise in a recruiting-type situation. If a kid actually moves for that long, I can’t imagine what the real hang up is. There is no rule against really moving, even if the move is partially or even fully motivated by a kid wanting to play somewhere. If a kid moves because he wants to be in a certain school’s marching band, does anyone even care? Students are allowed their preferences. I think enforcement of these rules has gotten beyond the original intended scope. But there are certainly things I don’t know. Without more, this sounds ridiculous.

I don’t actually understand what you are saying.

Lee doesn’t have a defense, and their offense is controllable. BH by a lot.

All I’ll say is 1) the season ain’t over, 2) Bulldogs still might beat PNG, and 3) if it really is that bad, it will only be for a year. Remember PNG in 2012 (2-8). The seniors were terrible, but the guys below knew what to do to make it work the next year.

You read my mind as I was typing haha

I don’t know that we are weaker than previous seasons. I think people are equating mainstays like Nederland and Crosby being down with the district overall being down. Just because Vidor is better than Crosby or just because Nederland is not as good as BH isn’t sufficient to say the district is down — Maybe Vidor and BH are just good this year? All that aside, and to answer your question, the district is a middle of the road district most of the time. If Crosby, PNG, Nederland, and Dayton were all at strength, it would certainly be one of the most competitive in the state. But even then, we’d still be merely above average, not up there with the big dogs. But there are only ever a few big dogs. The truth that gets lost in the quest for a championship is that most teams in the state are terrible. So even though our district reps will be knocked out usually in the 2nd to 3rd round by teams that totally outclass us, that’s because the top is a crowded place. We talk down on our local teams too much. And I know people will say i’m celebrating mediocrity - i’m not. I’m acknowledging the success we have in the quest to overcome mediocrity. There’s a difference, for sure. State is the goal, but the journey is part of it.

That remains to be seen until November 1. BH has never beaten PNG, in multiple meetings. Until they do, my money is on PNG.

What exactly is the cause? I keep reading people saying that Nederland is “not good,” and they are clearly struggling, but my thought on the end of last season was that Nederland would be really good with so much youth contributing on varsity last year. Are they small? Unathletic? Slow? Fighting in the locker room? (Just thinking of examples). Seems like the team not working well together is something that can be overcome if the talent is there.

Everyone gets a complimentary iPad. PNG hospitality. Guests are asked to send live video directly to the press box and we pinky promise not to use any of the video playback during the game.

The count was done after Harvey. They released the cutoff numbers in fall 2017, and the count was the following spring, I think. I’m 100% sure on when the cutoff numbers were released, though, unless it was a cutoff for something different.

The official number in 2017 was in about 1400. Are these numbers since then?
