Let’s hope the district knew the difference between Dallas and south texas poteet:) I am ok with this hire as well!! Hopefully some excitement will follow.

Don't want to go south!!! Get all of our sports back in East Texas!! I have a bad feeling that the non-football sports going south was to prepare us to go that way in football in this next realignment.

I have always felt Nac has the school enrollment as a 5a school but the athletic participation of a small 4a school, with the exception of soccer. Some sports barely have a enough for a viable freshman and JV team.

I don't believe that the programs other than band try and dictate single sport participation. The youth sports is where we see single sport athletes emerge, it just carries over to high school because they stop playing all but one sport at a young age. Soccer has definitely raised its numbers, in fact I think the soccer programs has more kids than football does from freshman, jv and varsity.

The way I understand it, first tie breaker is head to head. So lufkin would be the 2 seed in both mens and womens. LP beat KP both times in district play 3-0 LP Girls beat and tied Nac

The community support has a lot to do with, outside of 4-5 years this program has done nothing but lose for the last 50 years. Look at any program that gets in a rut of losing and the fans stay away. That 2006 year, that team fought their tails off and earned that playoff spot. But the reward for us making the playoffs as the last seed in the district has been a battle with a top 5 team with little to no chance of winning the game. I hate it for the kids of all of our sports, some of the kids go above and beyond with work and prep and get little to no support with fan turnout. Last years softball was a perfect example, best team Nac has had in 10 years and no one in town knew about it. Very few attended games and they had a great playoff round vs a top 10 team in Hallsville that went 3 close games. Baseball definitely draws more than softball, but baseball has had more success over the last 10 years or so. The soccer games vs really good teams can draw as many as some of our football games. As for our band.....I agree we are one of the best military bands in the state during halftime. However, they are one of the worst bands I have ever seen in the stands and playing during the games. They tend to sit quietly for most of the game, making noise for noise sake at the start of the game. When they play they play the same music they play at half time. No pump up songs or game day anthems and our visiting bands tend to make Dragon stadium more of a home game for the visiting team.

There are 3 on staff that have interest

Huntsville is big inside and very physical, if marshall has any size and can handle the ball they can pull the upset.

Nac. and KP play at 730pm in Kingwood to decide #2/3 seed. Porter and Huntsville are tied for 4th. Porter gets winless in district Dayton and Huntsville travels to Lufkin. Huntsville dropped their last meeting with Lufkin by 22pt. Porter and Dayton played a 41-40 OT game a few weeks ago so it isn't out of the question that Dayton could win and possibly force a 3rd meeting between Porter and Huntsville early next week. Huntsville and Porter split the two meetings between them. A lot on the line tonight for everyone but Lufkin. Lufkin has clinched the district title and the #1 seed in the district.

Nac vs Mt Pleasant, Monday @ Tyler Legacy at 630pm.

Looks like 2nd/3rd place will be decided on Feb 10th, when Nac travels to Kingwood Park. KP upset Nac in Nac 2 weeks ago on a last second offensive rebound put back with 1.36 seconds left. Nac plays their last home game Friday against Porter and then finishes out with 3 straight road games @ Lufkin, KP and Dayton.

Kingwood park beat Porter 53-46 Kp is alone in 3rd and Porter and Nac are tied for 4th @ 3-5. Porter and Nac play in Porter on Friday. Nac plays Lufkin to finish off the regular season and Porter finishes with Huntsville. The winner of the Nac/Porter game looks to clinch the final playoff spot. The loser would need to win the finale and have the other lose against the top 2 teams in the district.

They did when reyes was the coach. Reyes took over I think his last 2 years. Allman was hired as both. I am not sure what they are planning this time around.

Yes, I have heard Stickland has been lobbying for it for a while, that is all hearsay, I am not going to say the other name I have heard because I have not heard it directly from him.

As of now, I have heard of 2 for sure that are interested.

Nac was without their top scorer with a sprained ankle. Nac rebounded on Friday by blowing out Dayton a home. LP continues its run through district. Huntsville and Porter are currently tied for the 4th and final playoff spot. The 2nd round of district for the boys starts Tuesday. Nac has only 1 home game left after playing the majority of their district schedule at home in the first round.

Middle school just combined this year into 1 school which will help, already seeing it in middle school basketball. The Middle School rivalry was so bad here in town it took them a few years to actually learn how to play together in high school. The middle school had huge numbers this year both 7th and 8th grade. Hoping it will start translating to high school football.

Yes this!! I have heard the numbers in football offseason are low, however there are a lot that play basketball and baseball that also play football. Getting the kids into offseason workouts will be one of the challenges for a new coach.

Since those schools don't have football, then technically they aren't going there for football but it is kids that could play football if they weren't leaving the district in middle school. Softball, Baseball and Volleyball lose the kids for sure.

The game against Nac all the starters were seniors. Nac also has a pretty good JV, Freshman team and the 8th graders coming up could be special. The 8th Grade group is very fast and athletic and has 4 ball handlers. They may have more ball handlers on the 8th grade team than the Varsity team has now. Nac is missing a Post players from pretty much all of their groups.

Didn't say they weren't going to be as good, just commenting that they are senior heavy.

I have posted this before but last year we played Central Heights in volleyball and 7 of the 12 players on the CH team literally lived in the neighborhood around Nac High.

Not worried about how many ppl live in town just saying that we have so many retirees that posting the size of the town means very little for the athletic dept. Nac is a challenging job for sure. We have had "some" success by coaches. We have made the playoffs but no wins since 1992. Lots of losing in between playoff years.
