BREAKING Crosby hires HFC/AD Joe Willis
AledoAlumni reacted to Cougar14.2 for a topic
Guy is pretty convincing, has a lot of gravitas on the high school level. It’s a different approach than the last two guys but I think he’s made some solid hires of alumni recently to work in different capacities that could help stabilize the program, if not anything else.1 point -

I don't want to hype R4..... BUT..... If there was going to be a year where they made it to state, this is about as good as any. Honestly cheering for them.1 point -
5AD1 District 8 and Region 2 discussion.
AledoAlumni reacted to Mr. Buddy Garrity for a topic
Been watching a few of their games on YouTube, they were damn good last season. Alot of youth too, felt like the whole team was a majority of sophs and juniors. The freshman starter at RB and freshman starter at CB from last season are going to be VERY good!1 point -
BREAKING Crosby hires HFC/AD Joe Willis
Justafan72 reacted to Cougar14.2 for a topic
Yeah, that was really my main concern. It doesn't feel right as a parent not giving your kid what you think is the best opportunity for success. It sucks to watch your kid run over players from teams like FB Marshall and then watch the kids he ran over pick up double digit offers, Offers that they would also be in line for if they were at that school, simply because they're at that school. Luckily, I think my son will end up in an OK situation. The backup RB from last year picked up a couple of FBS offers and Rivals rated him a 4 star so I think that will draw additional recruiting interest to the program. Based on the texts and DM's from the coaching staff where he's going to camp this weekend I think he's in good shape to pick up his first D1 offer but again, as a parent you want to put you kid in the most promising situation possible.1 point -

That will be enough to cover almost all of our headstones. Climate Change is nothing more than a money grab and an attempt at global governing. Trump is a genius for getting us out of there faster than a cat can lick its arse.1 point -
Dave Campbell’s 5AD1 District 8 Prediction
Justafan72 reacted to Cougar14.2 for a topic
It's going to be interesting if Crosby somehow gets it worked out. Even for a down year last year we were a failed 2pt conversion at BH and one score away at PAM(starting RB and QB didn't play) from winning another district championship. With the new free agents that got cleared and the old ones from last year that are finally eligible, this Crosby team should have the largest collection of offensive and defensive skill talent since the days of the Twins, Singleton, Perry, etc. Crosby is going away from our normal 4 wide spread we've ran for the last decade or so and will switch to a multiple offense with 21 being our base personnel formation. TCU baseball commit(pitcher) Kade Eudy will finally get his time under center, he's the best passer of the football we've had since Jaiden Howard. Both running backs are north of 195lbs, run in the 4.5's and have looked very healthy on the camp circuit and Summer workouts. The junior running back has earned 4-star status after picking up offers from TCU and UTSA this Summer and the senior running back returns after being a unanimous first team all-district selection last year. Last year was the first time in a long time that Crosby didn't have a real deep threat on the outside which allowed defenses to load the box against the run game. With the free agents being cleared we now have four receivers that are over 6' and 180lbs, three with verified track speed. Really excited about the GCM transfer who was killing people in 7 on 7 before we had to stop playing and has Kirkwood type ability to play both sides of the ball. The receiving core has a chance to be extremely dangerous with Eudy back there getting the ball to them on time and on target. On the defensive side of the ball junior LB Copelin Windfont has picked up multiple FBS offers this Summer and big 6'3" 330lbs AJ Johnson has switched from OG to NT where he started at as a freshman in the '21 playoffs. We were already going to be fast in the back seven but free agent we picked up back there should really bolster us. Coach Willis is walking into a team with more overall skill talent than Riordan walked into in '12 and more than Prieto walked into in '19. May not mean anything at all since Crosby was a lot better in the trenches in those years though? When we hired Willis I was worried about our participation rates and that is still a major concern, especially since it's almost certain we'll be moving to 6A in '26. That being said, Willis has the sideline looking like an HBCU step show right now. Jabara Williams will be our DC, Coach Williams was drafted by the Rams in 2011 and played LB in the league for few years before he started coaching. Craig "Sqwirl" Williams will be our RB coach, Sqwirl scorched this area for years at Crosby and will get his first coaching opportunity at his alma matter after graduating from Baylor last year. My cousin and classmate Stephen LaSalle has just been hired as an assistant after being at North Shore for the last three state championships. I think Crosby still has a lot of question marks but based on what I've seen so far I still felt confident enough this weekend to bet one of North Shore's coaches a bottle of 1942 that we would finish better than 4-6.1 point -
Update 7/18: It looks like all the outside work on the press boxes is done, and the elevator shaft is built. I noticed the workers working on the insides of the PBs the last couple of days as well.1 point

Trump Running in 2024
WOSdrummer99 reacted to BS Wildcats for a topic
Y’all? You claim to have voted for Trump twice. Shouldn’t that be “we”, since you are included as well?1 point -
A group of old Beaumont guys played flag football in the 80’s against my old man, and a bunch of Orange County guys. Coach Louis was the QB, not long after he hung up his playing career. Their team was called Sudden Death. The man has a helluva arm. Those two teams would split about half the games. Coach Louis is a good man, and was a good coach, that never got enough credit, IMO.1 point

There is something to that. What sucks is when you have a bunch of homegrown kids and lose to one of those teams though. Almost everybody you play deep in the 5A and 6A playoffs have free agents though. It's just like the transfer portal in college now, if you want to be/stay competitive you get with the game. CE King looks like they're trying to become a Desoto to North Shore's Duncanville and one that they all have in common is open enrollment. The only way to combat playing some of those all-start teams is to get into the talent acquisition business yourself1 point
