My hopes and prayers are with Kenny Harrison. Again as both a resident and taxpaying citizen of Port Arthur, he has my full support. He's a young man that went off to The University of Texas @ Austin graduated and came home to encourage our youth. PAISD can send a strong message by hiring Harrison. A message that Port Arthur can produce qualified individuals. I'm tired of people that don't live here telling us what we need.

Last I looked, PAM was in need of a football coach and not a life coach.  Again, as I've said in numerous post on this matter, he may be good with the kids but from the standpoint of experience and X's and O's, he's sorry.  Point blank.  And again, from a source very, very close to the situation, he only called 2 plays out of 300 or so during the course of the season and he's supposed to be the OC.  He needs more seasoning and experince in actually in-game strategy.  Besides, he's a direct disciple of Sissy Ball and that hasn't worked out to well for PAM since the Old Man's been here.......

If hes such a great coach why aren't you pushing him for the Port Neches job? From my understanding he has his masters, and Port Neches is paying more than BISD.

Did he apply at PN-G? If so, I would take him.

That might be too much too soon...y'all are still handling the news about Obama...don't think you could handle a black HC too!  ;D

I'm just playing...don't be mad! 8)

That proves to me that he is a team player because i know for a fact he called every single play from 2002-2006, and ranked in the top 2 offensively 3 out of the 4 years. With that being said I watched John Harbaugh coach The Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship game sunday, and he was the secondary coach with the Philadelphia Eagles just the year before. That means he didn't call one single defense, but he's one heck of a head coach. My son played for PAM the first two years of existence and he and all the kids loved and respected Harrison, and from my understanding nothing has change. In my opinion he has never been the problem at Memorial. I would be the first to tell him that he needs to surround himself with coaches that share the same vision he does, so he's going to have to make some tough decisions with some of the coaches that's there now.

So instead of getting a proven winner, you want to go with a person who's been part of the under achieving, soft play calling, no or little defense having, position coach.  Well I'll play along for a bit.

You say your son played the first 2 years so that would be the 5-4 campaign and the 9-4 team that went to the 3rd round.  Okay, the first year, they got embarrassed by Smithson Valley among others and didn't make the playoffs.  2nd year, KRH was the one who called a double twin formation against Katy when PAM was on it's own 4 yard line and called running plays when Katy had 7 in the box.  He's also responsible for the 3rd year which JC ran the ball on average of 35 times a game----opposing teams would load up to 9 in the box to stop the run.  Porterie(sp) left PAM with 1300 yards passing that year and now @New Mexico, avg. over 300 yards per game passing.  Running when we should've thrown, passing when we should have ran.  Those teams were a combined 19-13 with JC et al playing.  Now moving to the years post JC:  2-5 during the Rita season.  The Old Man comes in and goes 5-6, 2-7, and 3-6---all with KRH supposedly the OC.  See, when the talent drops/leaves, there's a point when coaching actually needs to be done instead of depending on talent.  Sorry, again, your boy KRH is a nice guy, but an X's and O's man he isn't.  We need a Chess Master in PA, not a dude who barely knows how to play Checkers....

LOL. First of all Kenny Harrison isn't my boy. I was only stating my opinion as you were. The only difference here is that I live here and my taxes help pay the salary of PAISD employees. I've also voted in the last 27 PAISD board elections, and this year will make 28. Like PNG 1984 said on the PNG blog (If you don't live here don't worry about who we hire). The moral to that story is my opinion weighs a little bit more than yours. If I am not mistaken you help pay Carrol Thomas and the BISD salaries with your taxes so I will remember not to argue a BISD issue with you because your voice and opinion will definitely count a lot more than mine.

Ah, but since you don't know everything about me, FYI, I'm still registered to vote in PA and I've voted in almost every school board election since '85.  I'm responsible for running the do-nothing, money stealing board members plus my parents still live in Lakeside Park.  So I don't live here but I still vote here.....

Precint 33 @SFA Middle School....

And KRH, your boy, still can't coach.....

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

      By OlDawg · Posted

      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?

      Has Elmo gotten his aggy premature extension yet?  Pay him already because you guys were exactly right - he really does “get you.” 😂🤣

      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!)
