Thanksgiving Practice

[Indian03]

Everyone is invited to attend practice on Thanksgiving morning. Practice will begin at 9:00AM on the field. Bring your lawn chair to watch practice from the turf. The booster club will provide donuts and coffee. See you there!

Sounds like a good way to get husbands and children out of the way so some of us can get some cooking done ;D

Sounds like a blast! Hope it's not raining. Need to hurry and build that student activity center. ;D

I'm planning on bringing my 2 year old down there if the weather isn't bad. When he sees football players, he says DEE-DIN-GEE (PNG). No matter what game we're at. He's said it several times at the RR Stony Point games....... So I'm curious to see what he does. He wants to sit in my lap and look at the PN-G videos, so I'M TRAINING ONE REMOTELY FOLKS!! :clap:

It called "Community Practice", and Davis' Donuts will provide kolaches, cinnamon rolls and other goodies. Oak Farms will provide white and chocolate milk and orange juice. If you want coffee, sorry, you'll have to bring your own this yr.

Pull up a chair and cheer our boys from close-up!

Gotta love it ! Some football before the turkey and football after the turkey ! Can't get any better than that ! I heard that Coach is bringing up some more JV players this week. Probably to let the suit up and have the experience. I have not heard one person complain about a Thanksgiving Day practice. These players don't care, they want to win ! I bet they would practice every day if it meant getting better and more prepared. I am one PNG fan and player Dad who is very proud of all of your dedication and determination, ya'lls desire to work harder than any other team in the state. Your hard work is paying off. Don't settle, always demand more of yourselves and your team mates. I truly believe the only thing that would stop you from going all the way would be yourselves. Don't let any person's comments get in your heads. You guys are champions and you show it every day in practice and in every game. Remember in 99 everyone always seemed to put the NDN's in as underdogs. Look what happened, they played with more heart and determination than every team they played and they won ! People everywhere are putting PNG as the underdog, but you boys are proving them wrong. Keep up the hard work and it will continue to pay off. Leave everything you have on the field and you will win every game from here on out !

Thanksgiving comes around every year. The third round of the playoffs with a shot at the state title; maybe once in a lifetime if a player is good enough, works hard enough, and has great coaches and teammates.

Great post, PNG66! Just a FYI: In 1975 we were picked to lose every playoff game because they said we were "too light and too bright". Our son was a 169 lb linebacker on that team. That team were close friends and still are. They played one game at a time and were picked #3 in the state the week before the final game (go figure that one???) and picked to lose to Odessa Permian. I told BF that we knew Odessa was gonna lose when Santa Claus came out dressed in black and white. Everyone knows you can't mess with Santa! lol Our boys keep playing one team at a time and when they run out of teams to play, they will be the state champions! This would be a memory none of them, including the fans, would forget. I know they can do it. (hope we don't have Houston officials! lol)

Squaw,

I was looking for you! Can you help cover Merriman in purple on Friday? Let's gather our friends and cover that street for all our kids!

 

[squaw]

Of course! Tell when or where to meet you and I'll be there!!! Our phone is listed to feel free to call me anytime.

 

[NDNmom91]

Thanks Squaw!! I think BandMom is starting around 2. I'll be meeting people in the gym parking lot around 1. So whatever is best for you! Thanks for helping!

pngmom4 made four large signs and attached them to stakes and she gave me two large rolls of purple and white ribbon that can be used to make bows (which someone else has to do unless you want them ugly! lol). She is going out of town and I just want to be sure she gets credit, along with her daughter, for making these great signs. Do I need to bring a hammer or anything else?

 

[NDNmom91]

WOW! That's AWESOME! Thanks pngmom and daughter! Squaw you can bring a hammer, tape, staple gun, whatever you have. Thanks for all your help...I hope we have a good turnout to help us do this for the kids...they're gonna LOVE it!!
