Absolute brutal way to lose that one. Elite coaching job by the Crosby staff. QB takes care of the football and Crosby wins this game by two scores. This one stings like a playoff loss but I know the kids will be fired up for Atascocita on senior night next week.

Man, can’t have that type of defensive breakdown after playing your behind off like that🤦🏾‍♂️

Willie Gaston is on the Reginald Samples trajectory. I’m a huge Kenny Harrison fan, I think he’s an elite leader of young men and am glad he was able to show some of the PAM fans that everything wasn’t his fault. That’s being said purely from a numbers standpoint he has almost twice the talent pool of Willie Gaston. NS may produce more high end talent but SC can hang with anybody in the state prospect wise so it’s not a talent issue. NS gets more consistent results because they’re just a better coached football team. I think you switch the head coaches and SC wins this game by close to 20 points with some of the offensive deficiencies NS has this year. Probably get to see this game again in a couple of months in CE King’s stadium.

Kingwood is going to sing more D1 prospects off of this year’s team than the ‘24 team. Even the ‘24 team was one point away from going 4-6, that’s what they always are. CE King just had a down year. I would be ecstatic to beat Humble and finish our first year in 6A at .500. I agree it’s pretty unlikely we win the other two but if we’re being honest, in this district 6/7 regular season wins is all Crosby is looking for anyway. CE King turned it into an art, what’s I’m operant for Crosby is purely the progress right now

Just a reminder that two years ago Kingwood was in the 6A-D2 regional finals. They have a first year head coach just like we do which is where the “should” might come from but this is definitely not a game/opponent at the beginning of the season most Crosby fans thought we could win the way we did? Losing Cade Haug hurt Kingwood but Crosby kind of dominated a game in which they really didn’t even play well.

Game is only 14-0 but Atascocita can’t even move the ball on NS. Wouldn’t at all be surprised if NS’ defense gives up less than 10ppg during the regular season which would be unreal in this district

You know, you should never take moral victories as a replacement for actual results but I was impressed by Crosby for about a quarter and a half against NS last week and thoroughly impressed by Crosby’s first half performance against the #9 team in the state. Can very well be said if we don’t fumble at the 5 yardline right there before the half this is a 17-10 game. May still get blown out as most would predict but the week to week progress from Coach Williams and company is impressive.

🤦🏾‍♂️

FBM used to be the SW Houston all-star team because there's about five schools that are within 5-6 miles they used to pull all the high end talent from, not to mention the notable transfers they used to get. They have better football playing demographics than North Shore so they really shouldn't have down years but Fort Bend ISD treats them like an HISD school. They also have a first year head coach which I'm sure is impacting them as well as people moving further out of the city to places like Fulshear, Iowa Colony, Arcola, etc. Could be another Alief Taylor in the making, smh

Out of all the games the Houston area teams played the only two scores I was legitimately surprised to see were North Shore beating Lancaster 35-0 and Deer Park beating Dawson 35-0. Dawson may have injuries or some other issue though? Still think Dickinson will win the district but DP looked awful good week 0.

From a recruiting standpoint this has to be the most talented team BH has ever fielded? BH has kids with P4 offers/committed at every position group that I can find beside OL and LB? Example of growth creating talent. Luke Babin(QB) - Composite #26 in the country at his position committed to Baylor Miles Spurlock(RB) - [Hidden Content] Keagan Morton(WR) - [Hidden Content] Raiden Cook(DL) - Composite #17 in the country at his position committed to Houston Chris Clark(DB) - [Hidden Content]

Wow, I had no idea we had played that many times? With 57 previous games maybe we have met while undefeated before? Start the 6A era with a clean slate in what I think is probably going to end up a standard non-district game.

I don’t know how many times these teams have played but I’m pretty sure they’ve never met when they’ve both been “undefeated”? On a serious note this is a good test for the new Crosby coaching staff against a program that’s probably a playoff team in their district. For Crosby to have any chance to finish higher than 6th in 17-6A we’re gong to have to figure out how to get stops and a team like BH that’s very good at scheming points is a great opportunity for the defensive staff to see where they stand. Of course BH is the favorite but I think Crosby will be more prepared than we have the last few years.

I think those games are purely played to suffice the “What state has the best high school football?” argument? Their argument is that out public schools have open enrollment which is like recruiting but apples and oranges is an understatement when it comes to what schools like Mater Dei, STA, St. Frances or Bishop Gorman do.

Having a different coach explains the result. Prieto could coach circles around Willis even playing with the short stack talent wise. Not saying Coach Williams is on Coach P’s level yet but he’s at least competent enough not to get embarrassed by teams he should beat.

He’s the defensive coordinator at Somerset now. Lol, I see Prieto did hire a couple of players off of his state finals team though.

I think North Shore is who you would choose if you had to select a team any given year. I still think STA would win 7/10 but North Shore is coached so well that they would probably have the best shot to mitigate the up and down talent cycles. For as good as our high school teams are it’s tough to compete against squads that can start a 3⭐️ at every position on the field

Man, they have great “football” playing numbers though. I really don’t know why they’re not Dickinson-level? Watching most of the 6A top 10 extended highlights I’m not sure North Shore and CE King aren’t the best two teams in the state

Good win to start the season for Crosby. Most complete game I’ve seen us play in three years, very easy to see the difference in the way the kids are prepared. I don’t expect the new, young staff to be as sound as BH next week but if they somehow do walk out with a victory I think the question immediately becomes “Can Crosby win a shocker somewhere in district play?”. Either way it’s the first time Crosby has been 1-0 in eight years so already kudos to the new staff.

Crosby is “6A” so it should look like this against a team two divisions below them. Would’ve liked to have seen this game with Poth still at DC for Dayton to really get a gauge on Crosby’s new OC but either way I think it was good work for both teams in terms of things they need to improve on moving forward.

I think the Crosby fans are more than sensible enough to understand that. The record isn’t going to be good and there will be those who give a lot of weight to “bad” coaching decisions but 90% of our issue is just going to be personnel, especially in the trenches.

I really don’t understand the Brewster transfer? His dad played in the league so purely from a football standpoint he has to obviously know he’s not going to get developed much more at Buford than he did at Cedar Hill if he’s already the #1 recruit in the country? He’s already leaving in December and can sign his NIL deal before New Year? This is an NFL type move(surely from dad) where you get to the guaranteed money ASAP, which in this case is five months earlier. His NIL deal is also going to be in the 7-figures though, so tough to say it’s not a smart move versus risking injury your senior year? That being said, I may be biased in my opinion because my little cousin is already the same size as Brewster and just picked up his fourth star and a Texas offer after his freshman season this past year. I would love for him to have this problem in a couple years.

For THSF to lead the way in pretty much every metric in the country one thing we suck at is title games. Tough for the small school teams to earn their right to play for a title under the Friday night lights only to have to ask their families/communities to accommodate a Wednesday game in the middle of the afternoon.

Per the UIL 2026-2028 rank order reclassification Strake Jesuit has an enrollment of 2,974 kids. Maybe they're using a different formula than what you're saying but that's what the UIL is going by, probably doubling the enrollment to account for schools with girls. I know the Plano schools have senior highs and only about 2,400 kids on campus but are listed at enrollments close to 5k [Hidden Content]

Yeah, I'm speaking from experience of having buddies and relatives who currently have kids playing at P4 and G6 schools. IDK how much you follow recruiting but you can see on that list that even some of the most elite QB recruits in Texas over the past few years have already hit the portal. Pretty sure most would've stayed like the old days if they were being paid millions just to be a depth player instead of ending up at Abilene Christian two years after you make the Elite 11
