Peveto came from OF but I am not sure of why he would not be able to play unless he could not establish that he lived in the district.
More on the Ned issue.

Dear Port Arthur News:
This is Andrew Lack, the young man you wrote about Sept. 21st in your newspaper. I felt that it was necessary to contact you and explain my side of the story and why I actually left the team.
The way the situation actually happened was Ben Jones, Austin Dial, and I were all talking on the sideline during practice about Dionte Forney. What was said was that we thought it was wrong for the coaches to use Carson (Raines) and toss him to the sideline when they didn’t need him anymore.
I mentioned that my father and I talk about the team after the games are over. One of the running backs, Edwin Nelson, overheard us talking and told Dionte. Dionte felt that we were disrespecting him and told coach Neumann.
After practice Neumann talked to Nelson and and heard what he had to say. After his talk with Nelson, coach Neumann brought Austin Dial, Ben Jones, and I into his office and started talking to us and letting us know that what we said was wrong.
During his rant he said, "You and your father can take your opinions and shove them up your bleep."
After Neumann had said this, while the other two players were in the room, I told him I didnt want to play anymore. I didn't care who was in the backfield. I played football cause it was what I loved to do, but Neumann disrespected me, but on top of that he disrespected my father.
After I made my decision I was going to just walk the halls as a regular high school student. The next day other students started harassing me and trying to cause problems. I felt that it would be in my best interest to leave the school before everything got out of control.
I decided to go to PNG and be a regular student. I decided that if if was going to go to a different school I might as well try to play football while I was there.
I talked to the coaches at PNG and they explained the UIL rules to me, and I told them the story and they said they would do all they could to help me play again.

Neumann’s differs with Lack’s account
EDITOR’S NOTE: Nederland football coach Larry Neumann strongly denied Andrew Lack's specific comments in reference to what Lack and his father could do with their opinions. Neumann added that he wishes no ill will toward Lack and his family and doesn’t understand the motivation behind what he called a “fabrication.”
“This situation has been well-documented,” he said. “I believe our principal, Dr. Soileau, addressed what Andrew contends I said, with at least one of the other kids involved, and was satisfied with the response
