Sad to see Vidor drop.

Sad to see Vidor drop.

Yes. A close road trip and a long-time rival. Pretty sure Vidor and PN-G won't play again until Vidor goes back to AAAAA.

 

[IndianFan]

I don't foresee anyone ever being in a rush to move to Vidor. It's not all that great and the flooding makes it risky.

4A may be it for them.

Vidor will do well in 4A-D1. They may have a deep playoff run in 2020 or 2021. They should have the numbers to compete on a high level. They have run the wing-T/slot-T for decades, their kids know that offense frontwards and backwards since kindergarten, and they usually play tough defense. With the right numbers and a little talent, they may make a big run in 4A-D1.

PN-G and Nederland are two of the smallest 5A-D2. That is not good. Playing schools with bigger talent pools and deeper squads will make it tough for the Indians and Bulldogs to make a deep run in the playoffs. Barbers Hill is growing. They will be a tough out. If TPC shuts down the old Neches Butane facility, there may some job losses in Port Neches, Groves, and Nederland. That may affect the schools (numbers).

PA keeps shrinking. When PAM opened, it had nearly 2300 or 2400 students. They are now under 2000. Hurricanes have hurt PA.

Go Indians. Peace.

I hope Lumberton enjoyed the playoffs this year. its going to be another long drought for the Raiders.

 

[IndianFan]

Jobs, schools, security and quality of life are big factors. When any of those decline people seek better options. Some cities have more of a challenge on those fronts than others. PN has always been a ‘bedroom community’ so the TPC job loss might not be too bad. But losing the tax base will be.

 

[NDNTime]

UIL re-issued numbers. Lumberton back down to 4A-D1. I wonder who will now replace Vidor in our district.

 

[snowbird]

I heard it could be Texas City or Kingwood Park

 

[Torino]

I heard it could be Texas City or Kingwood Park

We lost Baytown Lee and Vidor
Added Texas City and Kingwood Park. Longer trips.

 

[Torino]

2 Longer trips, and 2 better teams.

 

[1989NDN]

The district will be difficult. PN-G, Nederland, Barbers Hill, Crosby, Texas City, and Kingwood Park...six teams fighting for four playoff spots. Growth, expansion, and student numbers favor KP, BH, Crosby, and TC. That little old school from Port Neches - Groves will have to outwork everyone else. It should be interesting in 2020-2021.

Go Indians. Peace.

Has the 2020 schedule been released?
