Rez

As we start the 2020-2021 season with our football and volleyball players taking to the field and the court tomorrow, we need to realize what we have been given.
We have been given a gift......a gift to play, coach, and follow high school football and volleyball.  While some might think it should be a given, other states have shown, whether you agree or not, that it is not.
By the dialogue on here, that gift is a very precious one, but is also a very fragile one.  A gift that can be destroyed by a single misstep by a player, coach, staff member, member of the player's family or even friends or fellow students. 
We ALL know the protocols...not all of them are pleasant...many don't agree with them.  But if we do not follow them and destroy this gift we have no one to blame but ourselves...no politicians, no doctors, no nothing, just ourselves.
I may be the eternal optimist, but I believe in these kids, these coaches and these communities to do what is needed to guide this precious gift along.  Some don't agree with that either, but I have seen some pretty serious sacrifices made to allow this gift to proceed in the past.  Let us root that they will be able to do so this year as well.
And let us all pray for our boys and girls, our coaches, teachers and administrators as they lead us long this treacherous path that is the 2020-21 school year.

We have to replace the starting backfield from last year so we will be relying on some young guys. We will have a Senior who is a road grader, takes multiple defenders to bring him down and does great work up the middle. Don't know much from there, not sure if we have a pure speed guy but we got some of them physical speed guys.

Or plays that lil ole 3A school from up North....🤷🏾‍♂️☕😎

Not as much money as you think there is. Trust me.

PNG Coaches have been using their i - Pads to video for years! You know....to make them halftime adjustments!😂

Just got confirmation that Texan Live will be broadcasting home games only for PN-G.

I wish local news stations would do the big game of the week Live on TV  or even a live video stream on their respective internet websites. Willing to pay to watch some of the games. They could do a price per game or even a season pass and you get all the games... 

Only local school I know of doing video broadcasts is Silsbee. Texan Live will be doing their games using SETXsports for the audio play by.
I had heard that BISD and PA Memorial were looking to do video broadcasts but nothing confirmed yet.

Yep. If you got the ball in his zip code he would catch it. 

That kid made catching on double coverage a routine.  

Last time Vidor played Jasper in 2015, Vidor beat Jasper 41 to 24 I believe an we were horrible that year. Of course that was 2015, all new kids now. My understanding is Vidor has some running backs that are gonna surprise some people to go along with a legit QB this year. Should be fun to watch.

I think this is year 3 of him at PNG.. 

No we upgraded to an underground water sprinkler you didn't hear about that😂

I can finally see across the field!😂 That crown was notorious. 

I did, they made some progress on the field:

Ahhhh ok. That makes sense. Welp good luck to him except on September 25th 😂☕

Jayce back? Oh this is going to be even more fun. 

Well, the previews are not due 'til next week and the week after but I guess I can reveal them here.

Went by stadium yesterday to see progress being made, didn't know we were gonna get a facelift to our jumbotron too!  Looks like the turf will be installed very soon, field looking good.

I dont know what PNG has coming back to support thier QB, but he played very well against BH last year. If it wasn't for a late 4th quarter pick PNG would still be undefeated against the Eagles.   All three (BH, Crosby & PNG) will be tough outs this year.

Also: i think it'll be a really close game at The Rez, very interested in seeing Png's explosive offense go up against what should be a more experienced Memorial defense. 
 
Whatever the outcome it'll get us ready for the very next week versus BH, who is very similar to Png.
