I attended tonights meeting. Attendance was very low. This is an important organization for ALL PNG sports, and I wish there was more interest by the general public during times other than football season. :thud:

You wouldn't happen to know what our football schedule would be, would you? Did Coach Faircloth mention it?

You just let me know when u wanna go, and you can go with me. The General meetings are every other month and board meetings are on the alternate months.

Actually, Faircloth wasn't there, but Dwayne Kroker was. Nothing was said about the schedule during the meeting, but afterwards, I did ask Coach K and he said that (paraphrasing here) "The schedule is out, but I don't have it memorized. But I think it's... San Antonio, Crosby here, Texas City there, off week, open district w/ Livingston here, Ned. there then he wasn't sure about the rest"

Hope this helps.

This is a bad time for a lot of people. There are so many activities going on right now. I am disappointed that I could not attend, but I did not have a choice. It is a very important organization that has already done many good things. I think something of need has been purchased for every sport at PN-G at this time. The booster club has done well for its short time in existence. I feel when we find better ways to publicize meetings, and the closer we get to the football season, participation will increase again.

At the meeting Brad Bailey just went over a few things that had been accomplished this past year and gave some insight as to upcoming plans for the next twelve months. I wanted to let everyone know that the emphasis of the booster club is to help all of the different sports at PNG!!! Here is a small list of some of the Items the booster club has purchased or helped with over it's first year of existence:

Floors in the field House
Soccer Nets
Scoring Table for Basketball and Volleyball
Pitching machine for baseball and softball
Softball fence padding
Windsuits for Golf
Canopy and coolers for track and cross country
and many other things.

The bottom line is this, if the club hasn't helped any particular sport it is only because they have not recieved a request from that sport. This is a club for ALL sports within PNG. We are 139 members strong and growing. There will be a membership drive later in the spring and a members golf tournament in early April.

If you are not already a member, I would encourage you to become a member today! The money goes into PNG athletics to help our kids and it is definitely money well spent!

Thanks. I've been trying to get the schedule since realignment and this is the first real tidbit I've had.

Tribesman, I'm not being critical of anyone, (especially those who are involved in kids activities), but it's more than obvious that the only interest for some people (and members) is football, and that's the wrong attitude (IMO). This is a great organization for all PNG sports, and if we only support it during football season, then it won't be as great as it can be. Just a bit disapointed in the numbers, that's all.

Simply put, fellow PN-G fans are an enigma. Running this web site and message board over the past 10 years has provided insight into a representative sample.
Football is easily 95% of the interest. Many fans visit, less than 10% participate, and very, very few have ever stepped up and assisted with content, photos, videos, stats, rosters, etc. There are dozens of cameras in the stands but few care enough to share with those of us that aren't at the games. I stopped asking years ago. :-\ I'm afraid that the booster club is experiencing the same. Where is the enthusiasm and appreciation for what many would feel fortunate to have?

I feel your pain! I feel like I AM the basketball forum!

 

[IndianFan]

Sorry about that carzan. You've done a terrific job with recognizing the basketball and track programs. PN-G is just not a basketball school and that will likely never change. But that doesn't detract from the effort and accomplishments of the players. Congrats to the basketball team on their effort. There were so many games decided by single digits that could have gone either way.

 

[carzan]

Thanks IndianFan! Now that Basketball season is drawing to a close I have a few things I want to do on that board then I will move on to Track and Field! It is true that this is just not a Basketball school, but just a little bit of success can change that. There are a TON of kids in the basketball program this year as compared to previous years. I'm talking about the freshman and JV teams. And there is a LOT of talent coming up!! We will be a very good team again next year and I really expect us to do better than this year. We did have a winning record this year!

But for now I am ready to focus on High Jump and a few of the other field events. I'm gonna have a blast with this!!!


oh, and can you make my post about the track schedule a sticky please? I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to keep up with it but I'll do something to try and make it interesting.

Thanks for doing that Carzan. We appreciate your efforts.

That is being discussed by the board.
