Stone has been talking for years about going into administration.  Sad to see him go though, not many coaches in Texas can match his resume.  Good Luck in your future Coach, and enjoy getting to watch Austin play his senior year.

I heard Faircloth may have a good baseball guy coming this way. I had been hearing that Brevell would be taking over when Stone decided to call it quits. I would hope that the job is posted because it will be a job that will be highly sought after. PNG will definately miss Stone. He has also looked out for his future indian's in the past. Anytime our all-star teams or select team's needed a dry place to practice, all that we had to do is make a phone call and Stone would open up the gym. Thank's Coach Stone for all that you have done for PNG and your community!

Coach Stone will be missed in the baseball community. He was a no nonsense baseball purist. As phatmack mentioned, his resume will be hard to touch. He brought Nederland twice to Austin, PNG once I believe. If you seen a team that was disciplined, played defense, and bunted runners over, then it was probably a Coach Stone team.

Is he staying on staff as a teacher and just leaving the coaching position or is he leaving PN-G altogether?

This is a tough loss. Coach Stone has produced some excellent baseball teams and made some deep playoff runs. There's a reason football isn't the only thing mentioned when talking about PN-G's top quality athletic programs.

I know the rumor has been out there for a couple of months and honestly I would of expect him to stay one more year. Guess a certain media outlet (not TV) jumped the gun a little too early  ;)

He told the players he was done on the bus after the game. Apparently it got pretty emotional. This comes from several of the boys, so pretty credible.

Still would rather hear or see it come from Stone himself

I could tell a co-worker I'm quitting right now but wouldn't only be official if and when I told my boss and officially put in my resignation and made it public?

I agree with you, but if somone reports that you told a co-worker you quit followed by "If this info is true...."  then whats the problem?  Again, I'm assuming you guys are talking about the story on another site if this is not the case then I apologize.  I just dont see the issue here thats just how I read it.

I agree whats the big deal. If the man did not want it to get out then he should not have said it to high school kids on a bus. Did he tell them not to tell anyone???? It just seems to me people are making a big deal out of nothing. We will know soon enough one way or the other.

    • 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.
    • 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!)
