NDNWarrior Posted May 19, 2009 Report Posted May 19, 2009 I can't say we will be better than any of the other teams with new coaches, but after watching some of our practices I can guarantee we will be a very much improved team.Coach Faircloth and his staff are the real deal.The difference in the kids is very visible. I will second that. The improvement is very obvious. Mentally and Physically. The kids feed off of the energy that the coaching staff bring. It has been fun to watch them all work. We will see how it translates in the fall. I'm hearing and seeing so many positive things at The Reservation now. I like the idea that Coach Faircloth is building the "complete" program. Looking forward to Week 0!
NewIndian Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 Coach Faircloth is the real deal, he said he wanted to build a program and he is hes training our STJFL coaches to run his program now so when they get up to Jr high and HS they know the program. want to talk about a hard nose you cannot play for his team if you have a C, in any class, stated he not only wanted to make football players but good citizens as well

Man, the NDN's are on FIRE this year! Can't wait!!!!!!
NDNWarrior Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 Can't wait to find out!! Me either, Coop!
BigWolf10 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 gonna be fun seeing which core of kids come out on top, tell you that

However, if a kid cannot play for his team if he makes a C then the Indians might loose some quality players. I am all for greater education but if a kid cannot risk making a C then he might not take Chemistry or some other course he would like to take but won't because of the fact that a C would side line him. JMO
Layingemdown Posted June 30, 2009 Report Posted June 30, 2009 I always go with the best starting QB. And from what I see at 7 on 7, PNG has by far the best starting qb of Ozen, Central, and PNG. Not sure about LCM, as I have not seen them yet. Also, any secondary is going to be hard pressed to stop Spencer Dereon (maybe misspelled) in the secondary. IMO, he is the best receiver to be at PNG that I can remember watching (and I graduated in 93).

JMO More power to him. If he has high expectations for his team, they will follow.
stang4life Posted June 30, 2009 Report Posted June 30, 2009 They need to go back to the old way...two top teams go to the playoffs and no DI or DII...just straight up PLAYOFFS!
stang4life Posted June 30, 2009 Report Posted June 30, 2009 I hope that LC-M has a good season because they got a good coach in Coach Crouch. It's time and with Crouch being around Coach T...some work ethic can/should be enhanced. PN-G needs to have a good team because they have that re-done stadium. They need to live up to the stadium because it is NICE!
pngfan66 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 My son is an incoming freshman at PNG. He told me that coach Faircloth wants the men to maintain a minimum of a C average. Don't know specifics, I'm sure that in the next few weeks his policies for the players will be revealed more. I also would find it hard to believe that anyone with a C or less would not be allowed to play. Now if a player carried a F he wouldn't be allowed to play. I think the cut off has been a D. But new coach so therefore new policy ! As far as being a better citizen, I know he is going to expect all players to have respect for themselves and others and the programs they play in. I heard he will have a dress code for the players and how they act and present themselves in school. I'm all for a more hard nose approach and believe it will instill more discipline and respect in the entire athletic dept. Set the standard higher and everyone who wants it will reach that higher level.
KFDM COOP Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 Coach Faircloth will be on the Sunday Sports Xtra Sunday Night!
Bucof2010 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 I'd put money on central. PNG may have the best coach I don't think any of us know at this point but they don't have anywhere near the caliber of athletes.

PNG may have the best coach I don't think any of us know at this point but they don't have anywhere near the caliber of athletes. I don't think so. Face it we have the most room for improvement with a top notch coach and some good athletes.We will have IMO two of the top four receivers in the district. It will come down to Faircloth developing our QB, which he has a track record of doing.Not to mention Brennan Doty is very talented athlete. I think the advantage for "improvement" is in our favor.Who will be the most successful... who knows?

Set the standard higher and everyone who wants it will reach that higher level. It's nice to see a community accepting an AD with high standards. I remember seeing comments on here from the H-F community bashing their AD when he came in for his standards. I'm not sure exactly what they were but they couldn't be more strict than this. Students and athletes will meet the bar wherever you set it.
Guest checkmate Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 my guess is either LCM or Ozen...just my opinion though.
bmt123 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 you guys don't get it png is crisp VERY CRISP thats all but have you seen thoses guys they either short like a 1st grader or tall and very skinny(just the skill guys)so when it come down to laying the hit they cant do that and when it come down to being hit they are crushed the biggest player i have seen was the tailback so wit the coach or not it will be a tough year.......and ozen they have great players real good players but NO QB..........LCM IS JUST NOT A FOOTBALL SCHOOL POINT BLANK ......... SO i put my money on central ;D ;D ;D ;D
TexazBall Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 iD Go wit Central To..They Have ATH so that will make it tht much easier,,, If not them,,id go wit P.N.G or Ozen..

SO i put my money on central ;D ;D ;D ;D I know DeRon is around 6'4" and around 190-200 lbs. Thats pretty thick for a reciever. Also the running backs are pushing 180 + ! Remember Juaquez Rogers from Lamar consolidated ? He was like 5'7" tall and around 170lbs. That kid could run and hit ! He is now the starting RB for Oregon ! I also suggest you go and watch PNG's spring game again. The boys on both sides of the ball were laying down some serious hits ! If you were there you would know that ! You could hear the pops in the stands. Also in a offense like PNG's you don't always have to have super size in those skill positions either. The qb is throwing mostly to the most open reciever and the RB is behind PNG's huge O line ! Only time willl tell, but I think you may not be seeing what you think you are seeing in PNG !
hookem14 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 Juaquez Rogers is a starting RB from Oregon St. not Oregon
