I will never forget the game playoff game in '99 at Kyle field with Long at the helm. I was living in the Dallas at the time and didn't expect we would have a game due to the weather, but I made the trek anyhow and I'm glad I was wrong. I believe we played Schertz Clemens ...what a great game and memories.

Thought we were destined after that game.

Someone on here uploaded a lot of the 99 playoff games on YouTube. If they have more from that season, I’d love to see them uploaded!

I uploaded a few available games to this YouTube channel. I have all the ‘99 games on VHS tape but have not ripped to digital. Most are poor quality because they were recorded by a Grandma in Groves with an ancient setup and limited recording skills.

PORT NECHES — The Port Neches-Groves Independent School District began sifting through resumes for the head football coach and athletic director position Thursday. District officials said the job posting will remain open until a hire is made. Over the next few days, a committee of six administrators with the district will present a lone finalist to the school board for final approval.
School Board President Scott Bartlett said the district began forming a six-person committee this week. The committee names will not be made public until after the search is complete.
“In the beginning, it will probably remain anonymous because we want to protect them from getting 15,000 phone calls a day,” Bartlett said. “I know it is going to be five members of PNG employees that are in administrative roles.”

Bartlett said the process is the same as when any administrator is hired.
During the week, the district teamed up with Todd Dodge, who coached seven state championship teams, to assist with the process. Dodge is not under contract with PNGISD and will send an invoice to the district after he completes his service.
“He is going to help guide the committee with all of the applicants that come in,” Bartlett said. “He is going to help match the personality for PNGISD and be able to help the committee navigate through some pretty good resumes that are coming our way.”


Dodge will also serve as a mentor to the next head coach for a year through phone calls.
“I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, hiring the head coach,” Dodge told Port Arthur Newsmedia Wednesday. “I am just going to be there to answer any questions of the superintendent, deputy superintendent or the selection committee.
“I love Port Arthur. I love Southeast Texas. I’ve always had a tremendous amount of respect for the PNG job. I think it is a great job. They asked me to help, and it’s what I plan on doing.”


Bartlett said the district has received more than 30 applications for the position. The committee will comb through the applicants and narrow down the number for a face-to-face interview.
“Obviously, they are not going to interview 30-plus people,” he said. “It will be more than one and less than 10, if I had to guess. Geographically, trying to get these people here is hard. They will have a face-to-face interview. From there, Todd Dodge and the committee will really start vetting them. They will check references and make sure they play well with others and checking their standing in their district. That will narrow it down.”
Bartlett said the committee will name a lone finalist and present the person to the school board for approval.
“We are not picking between two,” he said. “At that point, (PNGISD Superintendent) Mike Gonzales has the hiring authority. They will present to him the lone finalist and he will bring it to the board as a recommendation to hire this candidate as our AD/head coach for final approval.”

Sounds like a fair and reasonable process. Good decision by the leadership. Using this process, I find it difficult, if not impossible, for the two rumored candidates to be the best choice. No way .500 or sub .500 candidates get the PN-G job with Todd Dodge guiding the process. That makes me feel better. I mean, if PN-GISD is going to run off the all-time leader in wins, the replacement MUST be better, right?

That would be the logical expectation!

Am I wrong in that the SB and Sup have shifted all accountability to 5 unknown employees and Dodged blessings? Hum, very smart- they got rid of the HC, selected 5 employees that work for them to blame the selection on if it doesn’t work out and completely remove the SB and Sup of any responsibility if it goes south?

So all the accountability lies on Dodge and 5 unknown employees— right?

Ashly Elam said a few days ago that he planned to file a public information request for the list of all the applicants yesterday, after the application window had closed. That’ll give us our best measuring stick by which we can judge the integrity of selection process, in my opinion.

There were professional DVD copies available for many of the games from that year at one time, including a couple of predistrict games and almost all of the playoff games. Can’t remember the name of the company that produced them but it was one that produced many DVDs for high school games around that time. I think the broadcasts themselves may have been done by the “Friday Night Experience” crew, including the great Bob West.
