Football NHS Versus Jacksonville
Nacogdoches High School's Jacoby Ervin takes down a player from Jacksonville on Friday night.

The Nacogdoches Dragons and Jacksonville Indians started Friday’s District 14-4A game playing for a playoff berth.

As it turned out, they played long into the night and set what is thought to be a national record for overtimes.

NISD AND THE CITY OF NACOGDOCHES SHOULD BE VERY PROUD OF THE SPIRIT AND DETERMINATION SHOWED BY THE STUDENTS IN THE STANDS AND THE PLAYERS ON THE FIELD. THESE KIDS MADE HISTORY AND FOUGHT VERY HARD FOR A WIN. I SAY A WIN BECAUSE EVERY KIDS ON THE FIELD LAST WAS A WINNER. HATS OFF TO COACH FORD AND HIS COACHING STAFF. A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE NHS FOOTBALL TEAM 2010-2011 FOR A WELL PLAYED SEASON. HOLD YOUR HEADS VERY HIGH GUYS. JOB WELL DONE......

The past weeks we have watched these kids grow,a program grow and a team grow. Last night we saw fans flow from one end of the stadium to the other trying to show support for what was trying to be accomplished. We heard people saying that they left the game and came back to see what was going to happen. I don't think that many people sat from 11 o'clock until it was over just before 1 am... I can't wait to see what they do next week. Coach Ford, the Dragon football program can be what you said you wanted it to be... Champs and as far as I am concerened they are already WINNERS, because they never quit playing in a game until the final whistle has been blown. The character that they have shown is a credit to the NISD, the community and the parents that have raised them... Thanks Dragon and we will see you next week for the next memory... Go Dragons Go...
