Doubt he is signed with LU. He was on the NEOK A&M Roster from 06-07. That was three years ago now.

I say flip flop the 4A and 5A games between SA and HTown each year. Then they can televise them both (4A in SA, 5A in Houston and vice versa in 2010)

Those new fields are nice, but in the SETX summer heat it really is almost unbearable the way that heat radiates off that new field turf! Not as bad on the old turf. Congrats to Crush Collins. One heck of a game with you guys Saturday night, but like always you guys made it happen in the end against YG and our "Little Crush (Shuggart) Quads" ;D. The way you Collins girls play scrappy til the bitter end makes our girls better because they want to live up to the reputation that the organization has set. Good stuff and proud to be a part of the Crush Army! Go Crush '97!

It sounds to me like he is saying that the 1A and 2A schools get shafted in the local rankings of all schools. So should a 10-0 Evadale Football team be ranked ahead of a 6-4 WB? Is that Evadale team really better than that WB team head to head? This guy thinks so!

Which reminds me folks...Don't smoke crack! ???

If he is at Ozen and hadn't realized yet that they are a "Basketball School", maybe he is not a bright as you thought. ;D

That and we didn't pay our players as well as they did in the SWC! ;D

If we win 2 or 3 we should be happy.

My point exactly. Those were very good teams that played there best ball down the stretch, but what did they do to follow that up in the next few years. No repeat trips to the championship. 2000 was 9 years ago. Some of those kids have Kindergartners now! ;D I am talking about a program that goes four or five deep each year like Lamarque, Stephenville, Highland Park and even what Dayton has done lately. I said GT (Golden Triangle) and I was refering to 4A and 5A. I consider Dayton a Houston area team. And what has WOS done in 3A? No state titles. Not even a title game.

Lumberton will live and die on that defense this year! Nederland has to replace a hose of a RB. Remember 2007! Should have big stat lines because of the air game, but will they score alot? PNG will be under a learning curve. Should have big stat lines because of the air game, but will they score alot? Central will also live and die on the defense this year. Ozen is an anigma? Who knows what you will get? LCM will also be under a learning curve. Livingston lost their allworld threat. Vidor...Vidor might move the ball better than the rest and get into the end zone more.

Not sure I want A guy who's heart is in another state! He sounds like a problem. It is not like the guy put up monster numbers last year in JUCO!

But what do they know. You and I know they never show and of our local 4a teams no respect. You will probably never see our local teams in the top 10. You are correct about that. But we have not had a dominant program (year in and year out) in the GT since WOS of the late 80's early 90's. We have had a few exceptional teams and a few good teams that peaked at the right time. It is time for a GT program to step up and dominate the State!

That statement right there, if it's is truly accurate, will be what makes the most difference in how PNG does this year. Agreed! Buying in to the system and what the coaches are selling is what has turned Lumberton around. You found a coach that gets it (starts with them when they are young). I think we have as well.

I guess somoe folks just prefer wearing PURPLE! ;D

I think that most fans this year feel like their team will be much improved because of the coaching changes and couple that with the bevy of good returning coaches at Nederland and Lumberton and Mathews Crew being picked to be a true contender, this leads a lot of folks to think the district 1-8 will be much better this year. If that means last year was a down year??? Maybe, but I think the past several years (10) have been down years. No top 10 team year in and year out!

A bit of a surprise. As a WR this kid I thought would get some DI offers, especially with teams coming to check out Merka at Crosby. Merka to Franks coulda hooked up for big numbers!

And most of the teams above WOS fall into one of two categories: 1. Private Schools that recruit. 2. 1A or 2A type schools. Very impressive for Coach Hooks and his staffs over the years. They did this while playing some stiff competition as well.

???POJO ???

He looks the part so far. Could put up big numbers if he stays healthy with DeRon and Segura at WR. With Doty PNG will pass quite a bit. If he gets hurt then the # 2 QB will run more.

I don't think that it is that the HC that run the spread don't want contact versus the ones that run the power game. I think it has more to do with the fact that teams that run the spread pass more, which leads to more incompletions and less time off of the clock. A three and out in the spread could take less than 20 seconds of clock time. A three and out with a running team could take three minutes off of the clock. That means more time on the field for the "D" when your "O" runs the spread.

I think if Stump could conrtol his feeder school coaches and players, they would be vying for state titles instead of district runners up each year! Stump does a great job with what he has, but I think WB will continue to struggle beyond Bi-district because of some of the restrictions of the BISD. Just an opinion.

Never say never! This year there are no front runners! Could be the year a team like Vidor picks up a Title. Most seasons 20-4A has a dominant team or two in the district from the word go. This year there isn't one. I think the district will be better from 1-8, but the top will not be as good as in the past, thus Vidor could be top dog, er top Pirate!

Because Beaumont Middle Schools feed to different High Schools. Some kids at SFA will go to WB, some to Ozen, and some to Central and so on with the other middle schools. So the coaches at these schools are not instructed by the Head Coach at the HS. That puts the HC's at a dissadvantage. I think this is one of the reasons that the bigger ISD's like Houston and Dallas don't have the powerhouse teams anymore. Even Katy and Plano still have boundries for their feeder schools. Just a thought (and an observation from a BMT coach).

You are right we had a bad season. We had 26 turnovers in 9 games. That just about says all you ned to know about the 2008 PNG Indian Football Season!
