and last game--

P.A. Memorial vs. The Woodlands

Good Line up jdawg. Now fixed up Lamar Cardinal stadium and put turf down. There's a stadium to use. It would draw big crowds. They could have the renevations and turf paid for in a few years.

Wishful thinking!!

you know...your prolly right....with that classic and the numerous playoff games that would be played there....im bettin they would have that stuff payed off in 10 years...

they do this sort of thing every year in Tyler and its been a big success

A while back, I had an idea similar to this, but it would be a rivalry weekend type of thing at LU.

WB vs. PAM (Friday night)

PNG vs. NED (Sat. afternoon)

Central vs. Ozen (Sat. night)

I'd love for WOS to be part of it, but I can't figure who they would play, unless Jasper is in the district with them. The rivalry in our current district is really BC and OF, but that's not a real large draw area-wide. WOS vs. BC is getting pretty big, but it's been a one-sided series and, with the exception of the last two seasons, the games have been blowouts.

If not during district, a predistrict rivalry weekend could bring a lot of interest, as well.

Ozen vs. PAM (Friday night)

WOS vs. Nederland (Saturday afternoon 12:00)

Jasper vs. PNG (Saturday afternoon 4:00)

WB vs. Central (Saturday night 8:00)

The real problem with playing the games back-to-back at one location, and a major deterrent to anyone agreeing to such an idea, is there are no artificial turf stadiums. If it rains, the last team playing will be mucking their way through a sloppy, muddy field from the opening kickoff. If it were an artificial turf field, you could have back-to-back games with an ideal playing surface no matter what the weather. Also, locker room issues could be a problem, though that could be pretty easily overcome.

      Barbers Hill (28) vs La Porte (55) - FINAL

      This is good info. It doesn’t really break out for student athletes though. LP & (I think) DP are open enrollment because of the way the towns intertwine. That’s the way it’s been for many years anyway. I assume it still is that way. The kids have a choice after Jr. High to go to either High School because LPISD has elementary schools in DP. As I recall, DP didn’t want to build out more (Robin Hood issues), and so DPISD & LPISD came to an arrangement because LPISD is one of the highest givers to Robin Hood in the state, and it helped both keep more funds in district. Of course, LPISD is open to all. Not just DP, and LPISD is rated well. So, I assume they have kids from elsewhere also. Not positive though. They used to have a lot because—for decades—DeWalt was the only dedicated public school in the GHA that specifically catered to special needs kids. Families from all over enrolled. But, they didn’t participate in extracurricular activities like sports. So, LP’s total enrollment made them 6A. But, they were really a 5A school all along for sports program sake. This is all as best as I can recall from when I was more involved in school issues. I’m sure a lot has changed since then. My kids have been out for 20 years.

      Newton vs Daingerfield

      Our playoff rivalry. They hold a 6-5 edge in the series. I think Newton continues the win streak in a hard fought contest. What say y’all?

      It’s been awhile, but I seem to remember 5 D starters out & 2 O starters out (OL). A big difference is that Simon wasn’t involved yet. He’s totally changed LP’s rushing attack from last year as a bruising, explosive addition to Barnes, Sandolph & Bright. Last year—and early this season—LP was missing that element. Now, Coach Berneathy is not making talented players wait like many other coaches & even his predecessors at LP. If the kid can produce at the varsity level, they’re moved up. And man, has Simon produced! Over 1200 yards & 20 TD’s in less than a full season so far! It’s allowed LP to alternate RB’s where Barnes doesn’t take all the pounding. Barnes and Sandolph are also able to split out as receivers as desired to add threats that weren’t really an option last year. The PNG/LP game was a full-on tilt & good for both squads. I remember Gary Joseph in the end zone giving his son pointers as an extra set of eyes since he’d had experience with LP in past PO matchups. That was a good game. The score wasn’t really indicative of the game. Not sure anyone felt it was over until the final whistle! Good luck to y’all in Cajun Country. Bring back a win for SE Texas. (Yes. La Porte is still SETX. Ha!)
