To me, BH has a chance because of a fairly well balanced O. Maybe they can keep Weiss a little off balance on D. At the least, Weiss will have to respect the BH pass game, and won’t be able to just load the box. BH’s issue will be if Weiss plays up tempo all game, and doesn’t give the BH D a chance to sub or rest. Their tempo can be a killer. They snap the ball with less than 10 seconds gone on the play clock, and catch your D with poor matchups and a tired secondary. I see the winner needing to score in the 40’s at a minimum. Both teams may be in the 40’s! Should be a fun game to watch. Which team gets more possessions may be the key. These are just my observations from watching both teams. I will say Simper knows how to play a shoot out coming from the Cy district. So, the BH staff won’t be caught flat-footed. I’m still going with Weiss. But—barring TO’s—I don’t see it being easy. Weiss is still a young team though. I keep waiting for them to make some youthful mistakes. So far, they really haven’t.

It’s going to be hard to beat the entertainment value of BH vs. AA. Best game of the year I’ve seen so far. Fans of either team may have been nervous wrecks. But, as a football fan just watching for enjoyment, it was a great game.

Vype Houston & Houston Inside High School Sports both cover Crosby & BH. Both media outlets consider y'all GHA teams. I've also seen both mentioned on the local TV stations. Y'all are pretty much the end of the road heading east though.

Fair point. Individual matchups within the game also matter. It's just another comparison to use to evaluate. Neither right or wrong.

Y'all have to understand I'm not disparaging any team. I'm just comparing with the data that's available. Shoulda, woulda, coulda's don't count. They can't be measured.

I tried. I can't find his stats. I would say he accounts for--probably--the second most O for his team. I'm assuming that's primarily rushing. But, that's me going off games I remember viewing. I can't verify.

Lufkin is a perfectly fine measuring stick since they are the constant that 3 teams have played. It doesn't matter how good/bad they were. BH, PAM, and Weiss all played them. I could easily argue Weiss played them when they should have been at their most experienced, and beat them worse than either BH or PAM. Lufkin fans could give the best assessment of the three teams they've played. But, scores would indicate that Weiss was more dominant against them than either BH or PAM.

To each their own. I could say the same about all 4 of the QB's left playing in the region. But, the Weiss QB accounts for way more of his team's O than any of the other three with almost 3900 yards of offense between passing (over 3500 yds & 49 TD's), and rushing (almost 300 yards & 10 TD's). He also completes his passes at a much higher pct. than either of the other three at right at 68%. CS QB (Johnson) completes less than 60% of his passes, has thrown for almost 1300 yards, and rushed for over 900 yards. He's accounted for 32 total TD's. Very impressive. But, not close. The numbers tell a different story.

Probably wouldn’t have heard him. Too busy clinging to my guns and religion.

PAM 30-0 over Lufkin. But, 10-0 at half if I remember correctly. Weiss 52-14. Game was basically over before halftime. Lufkin scored a garbage TD with about a minute left.

I didn’t say he was bad, or even just average. He’s solid. But—if you have TL—watch Weiss dismantle Lufkin for comparison sake. Lufkin thought they had a solid, physical D. Then, they played a red hot Wolves team.

Weiss is tough to defend. They don't just throw long, lower pct. bombs or quick outs. They throw it all over the field to at least 3 excellent receivers, and a RB. They also have a sneaky good run game. Plus, when you get a good pass rush on the QB, he's athletic and quick enough to pick up big yards on the ground. With all the offense, their D gets overlooked. But, they can shut down the run game. La Porte had them shut down. Let them get away. Now, they're on a roll. A lot of confidence. Will be a very tough out. CS & PAM--to me--is more a toss-up. CS QB isn't near as good as Weiss' IMHO. CS needs a solid run game effort. Weiss can win without one. If Weiss gets 100 ypg rushing, that's enough for them. They've also got some really big boys on the lines. Maybe two of the biggest I've seen this year. I'm going with a split. But, PAM is gonna need more than Martin running the ball.

Y’all did well. I really thought it would be 1-3 with a nailbiter on BH. Great job! Now, you have the two that are playing the best right now from 12-5A left. Keep it going!

Great game! Big time congrats Eagles!

No idea who is gonna win right now, but this is the best game I’ve seen all year. Of course, I like this announcing crew also. He does a lot of Humble isd games for TL also.

Heck of a game!

Eagle's special teams have been playing really well. That one TD called back hurt. But, they’ve had good returns all night.

Looked like he was holding his wrist. He got up okay. 63 yard reception on a pretty ball.

Really entertaining game so far!

I still think Weiss is the most dangerous of the 12-5A teams left. CS got those late TO’s to come back on them when they played.

Katy won many titles because their enrollment & program size were usually half again or double the size of their opponents in D2, and they had their pick of the talent pool. They haven't done much when competing against programs their own size. Not saying PAM can't win. I hope they do. Just saying they need another consistent threat than Martin. I just don't know how far Martin can carry y'all basically alone. He is a great player, but... Also, not sure how you can debate false starts/illegal procedure calls. Was impressed with y'all's PK though. Young man had a good leg. If it comes down to that, he's a good weapon.

Will be rooting for PAM. But, they’re gonna’ need to find more weapons & stop with all the penalties. CS may be a little too much for PAM as one dimensional as they are right now.

Weiss 38-7 2:02 3rd

Turning this one off. I don’t see Lufkin scoring enough to get close, and they can’t stop Weiss at all.
