Well, can't say I didn't call it. I just wish I would've been wrong. Everything I said about us making the Joe Willis hire this offseason is exactly what played out. If you watched all the Tyler Legacy games I did this past offseason you would've most likely come to the same conclusion as me that him going 2-8 last year and backing it up with another 2-8 this year isn't a coincidence. Before the season started I said "This isn't Cedar Park", meaning all of the built in advantages that he had there or even Colleyville Heritage, do not exist at Crosby. People on here that know absolutely nothing about our program had strong opinions on my remarks regarding why I don't think the hire "fit" Crosby. I said he was an older, lower energy CEO type coach that didn't fit our culture. I said he ran a system that didn't fit our personnel and actually exacerbated issues Riordan and Prieto covered up so well, like good coaches do. We've kind of always been on the lower end of the the participation scale. I said before the season that if kids and parents didn't like what they saw that they would just transfer out to one of the other nearby schools, and they have. Depending on how convicted some of the other parents are to their remarks I heard them make this year, we could be looking at a major exodus of talent from the lower classes over the Spring semester and Summer. I didn't comment all year because there was nothing positive to mention and there was no point in running the coach down every week for things that everybody could turn on a game and see themselves. It was the worst play-calling we've witnessed since Flannigan, the worst scheme we've seen since Flannigan and the worst personnel moves we've seen since Flannigan. This is magnified by the fact that no assistants wanted to come work for Willis so we have a bunch of local guys with very little actual coaching experience to help mitigate the issues. I think Willis is a good coach and I can see the end intentions on a lot of the things that didn't play out the way he thought they would, but he's an old coach set in his way and convinced they'll work. Not sure how long he's going to be here as I've heard he was only given a two year contract but what I will say is that outside of him finding the easiest non-district games he can for next year, I wouldn't expect Crosby's record to look much different than it did this year for the foreseeable future. *Today Crosby votes on a new $85M bond for another elementary school, a second middle school, an expansion of the 5 year old high school and general facility maintenance. Bond says they expect Crosby ISD to get 5,000 new students by 2033 meaning a projected high school enrollment ~ 3,800. Basically the new alignment will be the last two years Crosby has to try to be competitive before going in to the 6A abyss. Sad state of affairs what an administration can do to a program but here we are, had some fun times though.

TyAnthony had 24 carries for 243 yards rushing 2 TDs , 13 Tackles ,1 INT(which was KBMT 12 play of the week). [Hidden Content] Vote for him to be MR Football of the week!

I will say that the last three games we have been much better at discipline in our secondary. I am a little concerned about our O line blocking for our QB. Otherwise , we will play hard and ignore the nay sayers.

You gotta remember PNG was under a new coach and system that got better as the season went on. Also many kids played 16 games last season that came back. Thats an easy equation to make your district look weaker. I believe FBM is a small amount weaker. Texas City is better. Nederland is better, FBW is better as well.

The good folk at PNG might say Coaching can turn a program around in 1 season.

Worth noting that West Orange beat eventual state finalist PN-G in district play in 1999.

Nothing more exciting than a nail-biter. Cardiac Cowboys. Sometimes you come up short. I’ve almost gotten used to it. lol.

Yall won the game, let it go lol.

Yeah that’s what I’m afraid of. If it’s rain then this becomes battle of the trenches! BH has been solid there until last game. BH O-Line better show up Friday and get that running game going.

I think the Randle RB has offers from Georgia and Bama. Randle is good enough to be in a Region Final. But they will have to get past FBM first.

Yeah I remember that it was DC Stallworths senior year

The kid they use at halfback/TE is a stud. He wrecked some havoc early on against Longview but we adjusted. The RB is great. As long as the LBs keep everything in front of them, you guys should be good....but if they get rolling...can be hard to stop...

Have you not heard, WOS is back.

In 77 Silsbee made it to state semifinals and lost to Dickinson 12-0. Dickinson then beat Brownwood in state championship game 45-20.

Not to mention the Coaching, Coaching and Coaching. That makes up for what you lack in Athleticism.

He got my vote...😉

He definitely earned it.

Accessory to conspiracy. Not a good look lol.

it's all good. shoot I thought we all behaved pretty good in that thread this year Best of luck to yall as well

Neither are a threat to the USA.

Good news Nederland is in the playoffs Bad news they are 1 of the worst 5A D2 teams to make the playoffs in the State 6 losses giving up an average of 39 a game and scoring an average of 15 4 wins against teams with a combined 15-25 record and 6-22 in district Lake Creek probably anywhere from 42, 49, 56 points Bulldogs probably 0, 7, 14 points once LC puts backups in

My nephew played for Sealy in the mid-90’s. They were the 1st in Tx to win 4 straight (94-97). Fred Smith (5’ 8” 170) broke Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record in 94’. They went 63-1 during that period and the only loss was in the 96 regular season to LaGrange, who was led by J. K. Dobbin’s dad, Lawrence. To say they were dominant during that time would be an understatement. Best high school football coaching staff I have ever seen. Head coach was the late T.J. Mills. God rest his soul!

If Nederland can slow down the Lake Creek RB and control the LOS they have a shot. Gotta remember, some of these other districts put up all these points but they don’t play anyone. Slow the game down, make it ugly, force a couple turnovers and you never know.

It was 35-7 at one point. Brenham went up 7-0, then PNG went on a 35-0 run. That game wasn’t as close as the final score indicated

Actually in 99 three teams made the playoffs. Two went D2 and largest of three went D1. Ned D1 PNG and Lincoln D2 A good 4th team in WOS would’ve been 4th team in and seeing how they were PNG’s only loss until the state title, kinda glad they only took 3 😂

Same year. Nederland was D1, PNg was D2

Officials have gotten soft.😁

BH did not and has not whined about the refs. Or homecomings. Or “last second TD’s”. We leave the cloak of eternal victimhood for others who want to wear it. Enjoy.

Go get em Jasper!

Forney almost beat Longview. Jack rabbits run wild over PAM 34-20.

(1) UIL collects revenue from playoff games. More games = $$ (2) I like four teams in, and more teams solves a couple problems while not depriving the playoffs of what makes playoffs great. In the old days, teams were often punished for being in good districts. In 1999, state-ranked Nederland team sat at home because West Orange and PNG beat them. Both West Orange and PnG made good playoff runs, and it’s reasonable to expect Nederland would have as well. Far weaker teams than Nederland across the state made the playoffs because they were in weaker districts. I see the dilutive effect of adding more teams, but only if “making the playoffs” is the prize I’m protecting. But, our goal isn’t to see who can make the playoffs. Our goal is to arrive at the best team in the state via a single-elimination tournament. More teams doesn’t hurt that, and there have been four seeds who made it really far (I want to say some have made it to state because I remember hearing that from Dave Campbell’s, but I don’t know for certain).

As a Bellville fan…. I’d say your Jumping it a ton… I’ve watched every Bellville game and I’m still curious how this week will go vs WOS… IMO we just haven’t played anyone that will punch us in the mouth. If Bellville made it past the third round I would honestly be very surprised and I’m just being blunt… Now if we come out and beat WOS by 3-4 TDs I’ll be a little more confident after that but I don’t think that will be the case. As far as Carthage goes you would be better off thinking about Silsbee or Cuero 😂😂

A play getting blown up is a missed assignment. PAM lost two games this season and that is a good season. Parents blaming coaches make for a toxic culture. We win together and we lose together.

Silsbee vs. Sealy Thursday, Nov. 9 7:30pm Randall Reed Stadium, New Caney

Season opener for both teams: 1Q 2Q 3Q 4Q Final PNG 15 15 19 4 53 Dayton 5 6 11 10 32 PNG looked really good, last qtr they had all the starters on the bench, with two Freshman, two soph and a Junior on the floor. Played good team defense. Solid start to the season.

If Carl Padilla is right, West Hardin drops to D2: Colmesneil West Hardin Evadale Deweyville Sabine Pass Hull-Daisetta

Lincoln/Jasper was pretty intense back in the day, too.

WOS vs their own Coaches? Bridge City vs winning?

Amazing how that works!! The guys who didn’t try to cheat the system ended up District Champs!! hats off to LP.
