liltex, if you go to Mr. Block's website you'll find he has some wonderful stories not only about our area, but your's as well. He is one of Texas' best historians. God rest his soul.

It's the name of the PNG volleyball team and only the Senior players get told what it means and are sworn to secrecy.  I'm convinced that it doesn't mean anything and it's all a big conspiracy to make people wonder.  :D

Early 70's when Coach Comeaux first started

http://pngtribune.com/365/

When it comes to attitude the team has its own. The term “Rock-a-Noos” is without a doubt one of the biggest mysteries but also without a doubt, a rallying cry and a belief that only those who have played volleyball at PN-G truly understand.

“Rock-a-Noos has a meaning and a spirit all its own,” said Comeaux. “I believe each year the returning players want to keep that meaning and tradition alive. It all goes along with the Indian spirit at PN-G; what it means to compete as an Indian with confidence and you get that special feeling when competing with your teammates.

“It’s all about teamwork.”

The Rock-A-Noos are serious about keeping the meaning of the word secret. They won't budge.
