Lots of holding all night. Especially the lineman trying to block PNG's #94.

True, dat. But that's how he runs.

Yeah, they've run Blair on the same up-the-middle play about 15 times so far. But for the past 3 years, PNG's first game is basically their second scrimmage.

It's a new season and a new team, for PNG. And a new offense coach. They look rusty, but we'll see what happens in the 2nd half. KO ain't worried about pre-season ranking, that's for sure. They're running the ball well for the most part.

Yes, it's too hot for practice. I played 18 holes of golf yesterday, from ~8:30 - 12:30, then worked in our garden yesterday afternoon, and it was way too hot for this 72 year old. So, those youngsters should definitely stay inside and drink Liquid IV or Gatoraid or whatever. Edit: There was an good moving tide yesterday morning and evening. Not too hot to fish, but sometimes choices must be made.

It's about time. The end of a long era, but it's just the HQ.

Absolutely incredible, and just absolutely horrible. My prayers for her family and friends, and for her students.

What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but an analysis by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "

He's with it enough to do what he's told, beginning day 1 when he signed the order to revoke the Keystone Pipeline project. But more recently, he's protecting the DOJ, as well as himself ... [Hidden Content]

Interesting piece ... [Hidden Content] Texas Speaker Dade Phelan turned the tide to keep,an army of campaign staffers.

Thanks for the info, I didn't check the primary vote count. I was posing that, based on anecdotal evidence, many who did not vote in the primary showed up for the runoff, and apparently voted for Phelan. My next door neighbors were two that voted runoff only and voted for Covey, so it went both ways I guess. The Houston Chronicle posted quotes from Covey accusing many Dems of voting in the runoff. Obviously if they were able to vote in the runoff then they didn't vote in the primary, unless the voted in the Rep primary to begin with of course. . "Covey’s campaign released a lengthy statement after the results came in, calling Phelan an “Austin swamp creature and King of the Democrats.” The campaign accused Phelan of courting Democrat voters in Jefferson County to bolster his early vote numbers, but Covey did not say he would seek a recount." Anyway, it looks like it's a done deal, until November.

It's hard to say exactly what happened, other than it was Beaumont vs Orange and Jasper, basically. At least two voters were turned away while we were at the polls. One guy was in Jefferson County but not in District 21. I don't know about the other guy. Probably lots of voters that didn't vote in the primary voted in the runoff. Probably lots of Dems voted as well. It's a common thing. Lots of Reps voted in the Dem primary years ago just to vote against Hillary. Of course that sort of backfired and got Obama elected.

Looks like all charges have been dismissed. I'm not surprised.

Anyone here think the charges against Scheffler will be dropped? Who thinks that the charges should be dropped? The Louisville police aren't making a very good name for themselves.

We'll see.

He did? Thanks, I need to look at the results again; about 15 mins ago it was almost 50:50 (again). Anyway, I'm sure not going to miss the daily stack of postcards and fliers in my mailbox. Wow, I don't recall ever seeing anything like it. As far as Phelan, the runoff was his wake-up call I think. Of course this just means that he gets to run in the November election. Reportedly (per the Beaumont News, and perhaps Houston news as well), Democrats were cross-voting in the primary, in favor of Phelan. It ain't the first time. (I had to post this twice; what a drag. BTW I went and looked, and indeed, the race has been called in favor of DP.)

The '46 - '47 PNG teams lost 1 game in 2 seasons. The loss was to a Lake Charles LA team, and there was no way they were going to win that one, per my father in law, who played on those teams. He said that at the end of a qtr, if PNG had the ball, the refs would give Lake Charles possession. My father in law says that Coach McCollum was so angry that he called a practice for the next morning (on a Saturday). Anyway back then Regional was as far as they (PNG at least) could go; there was no state playoff, as bamatex says.

I may be able and interested to watch this one. PNG spring game also charges $5, btw, reportedly it's really a donation of some sort, I don't really know, but it's ok.

I saw the same thing at PNG home games.

That's a mystery, but the reason may have been because he couldn't beat Nederland. I recall the local news articles back in the 60s and 70s, when Watson was PNG HC, read "always the bridesmaid, never the bride". Speaking of which, the next MCM should be interesting.

I was driving on the 210 loop in Lake Charles early last August, before 2-a-days began for SETX high schools, and noticed the Lagrange HS team suited up in full pads on their field. And this was on a Sunday afternoon.

Yep, that's what I heard last Thursday out at Babe Z.. Congrats, and best of luck to Mr. Rich, and to the Nederland Bulldogs.

Exactly right. PN Elementary, Ridgewood Elem, Woodcrest, Van Buren Elem, Old Groves Elem, all torn down now. Brand new or almost new elementary and middle schools in both Groves and PN. And when a couple of the new buildings weren't quite ready for the first day of school last fall, the sh*t hit the fan, if I recall right.
