Baytown Sun- GCM loses to Crosby (Damnit we have to write a story about them now)

Wowzer... if someone actually wants into the poll let me know via pm, however... i just don't get PNG Ahead of Crosby, and i definitely don't get them ahead of Vidor. GCM/Crosby seems to be the fight for 5th and png is a solid 7th but its whatever. My poll week 8. 1. Barbers Hill 7-0 (4-0) W- Lee/NF/Dayton/Nederland/Lumberton/C.E. King 2. Nederland 6-1 (3-0) W- Livingston/PNG/Vidor/GCM/Central L- BH 3. Livingston 6-1 (3-1) W-PNG/Central/Lumberton L-Nederland 4. Vidor 6-1 (2-1) W- Lumberton/Ozen/LCM L- Nederland 5. Crosby 4-3 (3-1) W- NF/King/PNG/GP L- Lee 6. GC memorial 3-4 (3-1) W- GP/NF/Dayton L-King/Nederland/LCM 7. Port Neches-Groves 4-3 (1-2) W- Lumberton/ozen L- Crosby/Nederland/Livingston 8. Dayton 4-3 (2-2) W- GP/Lee L-BH/GCM 9. Beaumont Ozen 3-4 (2-2) W- Central/ LCM L- Vidor/PNG 10. Beaumont Central 2-5 (1-3) W- LCM L- Ozen/Livingston/Nederland 11. Little Cypress Mauriceville  4-3 (1-3) W-Lumberton/GCM L- Ozen/Central/Vidor 12. Baytown Lee 3-4 (1-3) W- Crosby, L-Dayton/BH/NF 13. North Forest 3-4 (1-3) W-Lee L- BH/Crosby/GCM 14. Galena Park 3-4 (1-3) W- King/ L- Dayton/GCM/Crosby 15. C.E King 3-4 (1-3) W- GCM L- GP/Crosby/BH 16. Lumberton 0-7 (0-3) L- LCM/Vidor/PNG/BH/Nederland/Livingston Those where my votes. I put Ozen in front of Central who's in front of LCM. But the poll simply didn't turn out that way. I think Central is getting killed by 2 factors. 1) When they beat LCM we over valued that win, and 2) the POLLSTERS think they are done... and the farthest done i.e. no shot at playoffs. While Lee still has a shot at it. and LCM definitely still has some kind of shot at 4th place. but i agree that Central is better than their record shows. As for Badndn keep it real when you go poll and rank with accomplishments your 15th ranked team beat your 7th ranked team and lost to your 16th ranked team... yet an 0-6 team is ahead of them? that makes 0 sense.

This is funny... people from BH calling people from Dayton Arrogant (which they are) then people from Dayton calling people from BH Arrogant... i call a wash because they're both right.

[/quote] You are correct.  There has to be a transition period in there.  I don't necessarily think they dropped that much in that I think they are playing pretty decent with the talent that they have.  Every team is going to have those down years, to me that builds character as long as everybody still believes in the system.  Gotta take the bad with the good.  Hopefully some of them young guys have seen what the Broncos have done in the past and it will motivate them to keep pushing.  Again, the ultimate goal is The State Championship, nothing else. [/quote] I would agree accept for the amount your coaches require from kids, if they don't win then they will lose the team, you guys like to talk about how much your coaches work the kids, they'll only do that much more work if they win.

theres one of these every year and png wins every year.

916 + about 150 (no reporting on a game where the cougs had 260 yards of rushing most of which was from him He'll probably make the 1200+ yards, category, if we include playoffs he has a real shot at 1500.

Cougs defense keeps getting retooled... Supposedly GP could throw the ball... we held them to 14, 7 of which where in mop up time. Our Defense is extremely quick to the edge, and GP found that out last week. In fact the only 2 things that have worked are power run games and deep passes. So if GCM can do both of those they can win. But we won't show offensive impotence like Dayton did last week. Should be a good one. GCM has a defense i'm just not sure how good its Offense is. ranked 40th in SETX in scoring. So here is my breakdown Crosby gives up 33.67 points a game Crosby scores 36.67 per game GCM Gives up 24.83 per game GCM Scores 22.67 points per game No team has held Crosby under 26 points Including PNG/Dawson/Montgomery LCM beat them Best defensive performance they've had all year. Nederland put up 38 on them. The only team Nederland has scored that many points on is Central. I honestly think Dayton didn't show up last week, and to be Crosby this week GCM is going to have to play a flawless game. But those are my reasons and i'm a big stats guy. Crosby 35-21

Aston Walter at Crosby has been impressive as of late. 67.5% completion percentage and 11TD and 5 Picks, that's impressive for a soph (not best but pretty damn good) Also past three games he's 14/15 269 2 td's no picks vs. GP 21/26 265 4td's and 1 pick vs C.E. King 8/13 118 2 td's no picks vs NF 43/54 8TD's 1 Pick past three games 79% completion.

I've heard Lou Say all three of those quotes. The others are just favorites of mine.

I love Lou Holtz. "A lifetime contract for a coach means if you're ahead in the third quarter and moving the ball, they can't fire you. " "No one has ever drowned in sweat." "On this team, we're all united in a common goal: to keep my job." "You're never as good as everyone tells you when you win, and you're never as bad as they say when you lose." "If I were playing third base and my mother were rounding third with the run that was going to beat us, I'd trip her. Oh, I'd pick her up and brush her off and say, 'Sorry, Mom,' but nobody beats me." -- Leo Durocher "If you make every game a life and death proposition, you're going to have problems. For one thing, you'll be dead a lot." -- Dean Smith

[quote name="mytwocents" post="1084438" timestamp="1318720252"] IMO it depends on the situation. Like for example say you have a rival week and your rival team does something to provoke you like steal your mascot or spray paint your school with there emblem and color or do something else that just isn't right then by all means hang as much as you can on em but if your 6-0 in your district and your facing a winless team and they just can't keep up then yeah you should slack off and put in third string and run the ball the alot to wear down the clock. But you also gotta think about what the definition of "running up the score" is. IMO like MrUmp1 said taking timeouts and onside kicks and throwing bombs down the field and keeping your first string in the whole game, thats running up the score and that does not show good sportsmanship. So in a way i think running up the score is wrong. But defining running up the score is harder to do than everyone thinks. [/quote] 100% agree... if the cougs got up big on Dayton or BH i would boo the coaches for not putting the hurt to those teams (Yes im talking to you Dayton).

we got two poll reps failing us. I need to replace PNG/Nederland reps and i have opening for the following schools NF/GP/CE King (have someone but want poll closer to even reps.) I need LCM/Ned/PNG/Ozen/Central.

;D ;) :D ;D :D ;) :D ;D  8) ;D :D ;) :) :) :D ;) ;) :) :) ;) ;) :D :D ;D ;D

The truth is Crosby has by far the toughest schedule left.

o Crosby took starters out after the third.

Thank you North Forest.... i don't get it they looked aweful against the coogs.

Should be some good games 3 games in a row vs the other playoff teams for the cougs GCM then Dayton Then BH. Tough stretch.

Truth of tha matter DA BRONX got out played / out hustled / out coached / out any other thing you could think of on da football field. DA BRONX better wake up or the playoff streak will be a memory. Been along time since we sat on da other side of a good ole fashion spankin. Don't hang your head boys theres always next Friday and I have officially lowered my expectations to just spankin Crosby this year. ;D [/quote] GL with that your kids don't learn how to tackle the Walters will run all over you.
