Please do not turn this thread/topic into another school board free-for-all. I vote to say "thanks" to each and every person involved with honoring the living past coaches of PN-G. It was great to see pictures of the former Chiefs of the Tribe on www.pngindians.com and this message board. The former coaches all have differnt W-L records, but they all represented PN-G well...each one leaving his mark on The Reservation...each one preserved the values of PN-G, i.e., Honor, Pride, and Tradition. Doug Ethridge is a legend among Texas high school football coaches, athletic directors, and administrators. Ken Watson, Butch Troy, Tim Owen, and Matt Burnett are all examples of what makes PN-G great. They all cared enough to come back to PN-G. Do not tear down this thread with school board politics. Look at the pictures of those PN-G greats and admire what they did at The Reservation. To all of those that had a hand in honoring Coaches Watson, Ethridge, Troy, Owen, and Burnett, whether it be the school board, the administration, teachers, volunteers, etc., thanks and a job well done. Thanks to Coaches Watson, Ethridge, Troy, Owen, and Burnett for coming back to PN-G...and thanks to their families who drove them from miles away so PN-G fans could say thanks...I bet it's been awhile since Doug Ethridge had his blood pumping to the sounds of Cherokee...a sound that his teams caused to be blared out loud and clear in the Astrodome, Rice Stadium, Texas Stadium, and at stadiums all over SETX and Houston.
If you volunteer at games for concessions, security, ticket takers, selling programs, keeping bathrooms cleans, etc., many thanks. To all the school board members, i.e., Darren McCutcheon and Lana Parker, thanks for giving photographers access to the former coaches before the game and allowing pictures to be taken from the pressbox. To all the school board members and PN-GISD employees who contribute to www.pngindians.com by linking content, pictures, fundraising, etc., thanks. This out-of-town alumnus appreciates the opportunity to stay in touch with PN-G.
Go Indians. Peace.
The end.
