KFDM COOP Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Posted July 7, 2008 The Indians already had planned to play the first month of their schedule on the road, allowing the contractor more time to finish. But already, PN-G has agreed in principle to play its first district home game at Memorial, a few miles down the road in Port Arthur. PN-G's district opener is Sept. 26. It is supposed to be at home, against Little Cypress-Mauriceville. Burnett, however, said he has talked to Memorial coach Ronnie Thompson about borrowing the Titans' field - which, by the way, was rebuilt at a cost of more than $500,000. Thompson and Burnett stumbled upon the idea after they had discussed other matters. They happen to go back more than three decades. Thompson was an assistant coach at Lamar when Burnett played there as a defensive lineman. Thompson and Burnett were planning a preseason scrimmage between PN-G and Memorial. The discussion branched out, and one thing led to another. Before long, they talked about the soon-to-be flying hammers at The Reservation. "If you play 'em, try to beat 'em. If you can't beat 'em, help 'em," Thompson said. "PN-G - that's our backyard rival. We're right next door, and Matt's as honest as the day is long. He's doing everything he can to keep the pride and tradition going over there. So if there's any way we can help him, we'll do it."
