Look, Silsbee had a wake up call last game and they weren’t going to overlook Lumberton and Mr. McClure. It is a testament to how far Mitchell has brought this program that this was considered a big game for Silsbee (that and the great divide in this district). Silsbee seems to be getting better each game, which is what you would expect from a young team with a veteran coach. They still can be beaten in this district if they don’t come ready to play. But I think tonight showed us that if they do have their heads on straight, young as they are, they are still the big dog in this district by a good bit. On a side note, good to hear you on the call again @AggiesAreWe

It sounds like everything had to go right for Crosby pretty much all year to make that date . . . and it did. Now we get to line it up with one of the most storied programs in THSF history. Win or lose I feel like Crosby just answered a bunch of the state’s questions about the quality of 5A football played “around here”.

How does this sound Coogs? Friday, January 15th, 2021 UIL Class 5A, Division II State Championship Game Crosby Cougars vs. Aledo Bearcats AT&T Stadium, Arlington

Best 5A semifinal game ever played

Honestly he probably was about 24/25 from the ft line. Great players know how to draw fouls. His shots were not falling until the 2nd half. I was impressed with his game today overall. Probably had 40 points 15 rebounds (again). As far as Silsbee being dirty players, we have ALWAYS had that on our back lol people hate our style of play. You are exactly right, get tougher!! I am extremely impressed with Harris and Miller. To only be freshman, my goodness they are going to be unstoppable. Very bright future in Silsbee.

Someone posted that you can watch the game for free on kxan.com

Yessir it’s dang sure beyond me how he hasn’t been offered; I was really impressed with #21 for LH as well; come to find out he’s a freshman! Unbelievable!

Rings or not I think we had/have a better chance against Aledo than we did against Liberty Hill. Conventional spread team we’ve been playing excellently against every game since Montgomery. Remember what we said about FBM not being the same FBM as years past? Same thing can be said for this version of Aledo. They’re probably even more gettable this year than the squad that lost to College Station in ‘17.

I see somethings doesn't change in this particular district, Silsbee is still the King of this district until proven other wise.

Surviving the gauntlet to get to Aledo, I wouldn't put anything past Crosby. Crosby 36 Aledo 35

That was one of the most exciting and entertaining games I have ever seen in person. Both teams played their hearts out.

Definitely a season to remember for Crosby fans. 4 straight wins over ranked, undefeated teams. 2 OT playoff wins. State Final. Hell, I’m not a Crosby fan and I’ll remember it for a long long time. I’m so glad I’ve been able to watch these last 3 games in person.

i am the fan that was ejected. let my emotion get best of me. BUT nothing was said to any player, nothing threatening, derogatory, and no cuss words. i told ref he sucked and his mom must be disappointed in him. and he tossed me for that sentence. nothing more and nothing less. the tigers played a better game and not saying lumberton should have won, and not saying they would have won with better refs. im saying that offical sucked

Quarterback can’t panic like he tried to do a few times late in the game tonight. Aledo going to be tough.

Crazy game. Glad they didn't fire that coach last year.

Slot-T nearly sends Crosby into cardiac arrest. Defense gives up 61 but gets the biggest stop in Crosby football history . . . Sweet Jesus

Because Silsbee was playing dirty and the refs weren't calling it obviously 😉

🙄 It hurts when dreams are broken.! 💨🏘🐅🏀

Just slow the game down and we're good. Raider fan just got ejected lol.

Two defensive stops has Crosby ahead right now. Problem is that we need two more defensive stops in the second half I’m not sure we can get? See what type of adjustments the defensive staff makes? Not having the 42 points I feel like we should is very impactful right now. Hopefully 70 is enough for Crosby? And I mean “hopefully” as in 70 hasn’t been enough before for us in a playoff game.

Crosby D did well at the beginning. Those 2 long passes opened things up. I would go back to the way they started. If LH beats you passing, then oh well. Sell out and stop the run. Make them have to throw

Perfect weather. Im watching on Texan Live though.

Let's make one thing clear, McClure is the best basketball player in Lumberton history. That's really not up for debate. His coach, Josh Mitchell, was a very good player for Lumberton. He is on board with that sentiment. I have seen enough Lumberton basketball over the years (since 1980) and I would have to agree. Now if you want to debate whether he is better than some other players from other schools, then carry on. Also, he signed a DI scholly, so debating whether he is a DI basketball player is kind of a moot point.

Any names surfacing yet?

True, I’ve been on a different wagon all year but I have really enjoyed the last few exits up the road with y’all. Thanks for driving. I might still find my way up to Arlington on Friday. We’ll see. If Crosby pulls this off, somebody needs to write a book. Definitely been a bright spot to take our mind off an otherwise difficult 2020 year.

Trojans 2-0 in district play

Hats off to the officiating crew for catching the “Substitution with intent to deceive” call on LH on that 4th down. Congratulations Crosby, now go get that RING!

Agreed. He was running very angry last night.

Please tell me it was @RaiderGirl2010

1 player and a bunch of average players, not role players, just average players. They haven’t even got to Crosby yet

Thanks. Good to be back where I belong.

2 point conversion upcoming. 8:32 to go. I’m surprised they don’t go for 2 regularly.

Ahh I see. Makes sense. He had to have 40 tonight. And he was off.

1st play is 19 yard TD pass to #12. 42-31. That was big

Ohh wow! Hard to say what happened. We don’t know if that Raider fan was heckling the players and the player felt the need to retaliate. Still about respect and one of the coaches should’ve gotten on him. But if that fan was chirping with the refs, then I can see LPD escorting him out...

Me. Who do you think took ol’ boy’s picture with his feet up on Pelosi’s desk?

I was going to say 63 but Crosby has to get a stop or 2......

No, I think you're the delusional one...you seem to think I am for compromise on important issues...I am not. The Tea Party was elected for a purpose and they stood by it...how disgraceful. By the way, the gov shutting down was a good thing. You can't seem to help yourself with the insults and this from a guy that posted a while back that we shouldn't insult anyone. Your TDS is showing with the Lord and Savior stuff, but I have come to see you can't help yourself...you HATE Trump that much and anyone else that doesn't must worship at the alter of Trump...funny guy. So we've never seen anything like it before? What about Maxine Watters? And show me the quote where Trump encouraged folks to ATTACK the Capitol. (By the way, I can disagree with what Trump said and still not think he intentionally incited a riot...try not to let you emotions swing completely one way every time you post.) One more thing, I didn't ransack the Capitol, did you? You said you voted for Trump so you bear as much guilt as I do by your logic...lol. A conservative that hates the Tea Party and loves Bill Clinton...absolutely amazing.

Who? Do you mean Melania? If she looks like a man then I’m hoppin on the LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈 WAGON!

Nederland will not beat BU unless they can, 1. Break a press 2. grow 6 inches at each position..

.....and Awoman.

Sorry, I meant pretty girl. Dang autocorrect. 😳

Soccer? Really? That’s what you're gonna come back with? I’ll bet YOU didn’t know that our cross country team won state one time, did you? So there! Stop playing around.... or our one-act-play team will act y’all right off of the stage.

I got Nederland by 10 next time they face off.
