    Like what I saw from Crosby on the defensive side of the ball tonight, with Cedar Park going D2 I think it's regional final quality like we predicting going into the season. Two crucial fourth down stops and the district's leading rusher Marte Allison was basically shut out of the game. We have a few kids that are just flat out matchup problems for opposing offenses, weak spots from earlier in the year have elevated their play. 

    What I didn't like was that we had three personal fouls. Two drive killing penalties, one where we went from first down to 4th and 25. We were shut out offensively in the second half, New Caney played great defense but despite the o-line getting decent movement we couldn't sustain drives. We shouldn't have had any problem at least reaching the mid-30's scoring wise tonight. 

    Overall I thought it was a very Code Red performance. Never trailed in the game, made more plays than the opposing team when it was tight and made a couple of plays when it was time to close the show. 

    Great job by New Caney and a great job by Coach Riordan picking up his 50th career head coaching win in his 5th season at Crosby. Good night all the way around for Code Red. 

    The Crosby defense was the deciding factor in this game. NC had the ball twice inside the 10 in the fourth qtr and turned it over on downs. I thought our D did a good job in the second half. That one 55 yard run was the only big play allowed. I did not think #31 had a chance of catching him but managed to have just enough angle to make the stop. Your D had a good game plan to stop Allison. He finished with 24 yards on 17 carries. This game did not hurt either team in getting ready for playoffs. No injuries and a competitive game. I thought once you gave us the ball with about two minutes to go we would score but your D stepped up and put pressure on Cooper to stop it from happening.

    Wasn't at game, I hear a few people who where there saying Crosby was very unsportsmanlike. Don't know if there is any truth to that.

    I was there, things got a little chippy a couple of times but I did not see any really out of control or cheap shot plays. It is an emotional game, especially last game of regular season with district championships on the line.

    My one take away is your QB. We all know what kind of player he is but he was a little rough on his own teammates a couple of times. And stood on sidelines by himself.
