New Caney's stud qb transferred from Caney Creek, their stud receiver transferred from Kingwood Park and their stud rb transferred from St. Pius X. How is that doing more with less? New Caney is known to get tight when the lights get brightest and this game is for Riordan's 50th career win at Crosby. Crosby was in this same situation last year against CE King and won by 37.

They'll beat whoever they play from 22-5A in the first round but lose to Manvel in the second round. That's the type matchup you get from that playoff position in the second round, usually the champion from the Fort Bend/Brazoria district which Manvel is this year. The second round games for our bi-district position in recent alignments are often harder than the third.

I'll put it like this. Our season ended last year against Ridge Point and started this year against Manvel who I watched beat North Shore the week after they played us earlier this year. From 1-22 Ridge Point is probably even more athletic than Manvel even though Manvel has a couple higher rated recruits. Not only have they recently played for a state title, Cy-Ranch plays in the Cy-Fair district which is from top to bottom the toughest district in Houston on average. If Taylor played North Shore right now they're probably a 7 point favorite at a neutral site. They're in a district with George Ranch, Pearland and Dawson and undefeated so far. Usually one of the most talented teams in Houston along with Westfield, NS and Lamar. Any of those teams can lose to Clear Springs, Dickinson, Lamar, Cy-Fair and about four other teams in the region though. I think Allen is out after the quarterfinals.

Now see, I'm being condescending if I say that. I actually use stats to show deprivation.

Desoto is going D2 and will most likely back stroke through the playoffs until they play Cibolo Steele for the state title. As far as 6A being deep, it's probably the deepest in Houston for a change. Klein Collins, Cy-Ranch, Katy, Ridge Point, Alief Taylor, The Woodlands and North Shore are all state championship quality. Don't be surprised if San Angelo Central or Duncanville knock off Allen in region 1.

Either Central or Nederland is getting into the playoffs, neither effect PNG's seeding. Basically the only way Livingston has a chance to get in is if Central loses to Lee.

You have to take Westlake vs Vandy score with a grain of salt though, Same Ehlinger is one of the highest rated qbs in the country and didn't play in that game and is out for the season. Vandy also doesn't have 6000+ career yard rusher Travis Brannan anymore. Westlake wasn't the same team that beat Katy, more like the one that lost to Lake Travis 49-7 the game Ehlinger went down. Connally has been playing well but they're a lot like Porter, 8-22 the prior three seasons but have improved and beat some people. CP's most impressive district win so far has been shutting out Rouse who dropped 60 on a GT team CP beat 41-20. CP's defense is dominant but this year they lack some of the personnel of years past on both sides of the ball which is I think they would be beaten by several team they're ranked ahead of this year.

Yeah, but at the end of the day the two best teams you played you lost to a combined 81-28. The opposing qbs only had 8 combined incompletions against y'all too. Can't throw can't throw it and can't cover it, or really stop the run against balanced teams. Vidor's best defense is just holding on to the ball on offense.

Kind of what I was thinking. I think we can get an easy 40 if we get good qb play, if not I think we're going to be in a tight game.

This year I don't think Cedar Park would beat Denton Ryan, Lancaster, Frisco Lone Star or Foster. I think they would also struggle with College Station after seeing them beat Temple this weekend. You would never have to worry about them playing that potential game at the Butch though, UT, A&M, Baylor, Alamodome and NRG are all more sought after venues that time of year.

Splendora's qb has 600 yards passing and the Chronicle has Vidor's qb with 140 passing yards on the season minus a couple of games with no stats I'm sure wouldn't add much to that total. Games against BH and PNG when you were down and passing could've helped Quirante went a combined 1-4 for 14 yards and a pick. Y'all have both been blown multiple times when throwing the ball could've been effective.

Porter beat Crosby and Dayton throwing the ball to #2 Carney. He had 17 catches for 445 yards and 5 tds combined in those two games. He played against New Caney, #6 is the one that didn't. I never though Porter was very good because their makeup was so fragile, they have to throw the ball down the field at a high completion percentage to be effective. They can't run the ball and their defense isn't very good, reminds me a lot of Holley's Kingwood Park teams that were good with Henderson but would get blown out with just one player missing. I agree with everything else you said though, I think BH blows Porter out. Especially if the kid opposite Carney doesn't play again this week.

It also gives Vidor one less day to heal after being beat up by a bigger, stronger and faster PAM team. PAM has seen that offense and is about to blow Vidor out. Crosby has already played Splendora who runs the same offense and held them to 12 points. They have their own 1000+ yard back and throw it better than Vidor does out of that offense too. BH had never played against that offense either and all Vidor could manage was 6 points on them, Splendora scored 7 on BH.

Exactly, of all places. If you're "riding through" Crosby like he said and end up where some trailer houses are I would question your initial motive. All I see in Crosby are skyrocketing real estate prices due to houses being packed into where I used to hit golf balls and ride four wheelers.

Yeah, it's head to head in their district but Georgetown also needs to beat Connally the last week of the season so GT, Rouse and Hutto don't all end up with 5-3 district records leaving Hutto out and sending Cedar Park D2. Basically if GT doesn't beat Connally this week Cedar Park will be D2.

Yes, and it was a thin Crosby crowd. Partly due to temperature but 60 miles from the house for a bi-district game on a weekday odd.

?, Lol. What are you talking about man? I'm a FLS and work 4x10 unless I'm on turnaround, like most up and down the channel. Secondly, I wasn't taking a shot at your town. I was pointing out how every time someone lays out some statistics or data some of the Vidor fans go to "Isn't it past your bedtime", or your above post including "probably sitting in a control room somewhere playing on your IPhone. . . ". It's either that or you guys point to a singular event in time five years ago hence the encyclopedia reference. You guys are so sensitive about your town you think someone is talking about you when they aren't. Your trailer comment is odd from a place where the parents literally search for their children's shoes due to field conditions. I can promise you trailers aren't paying for a new school and multimillion dollar stadium renovations complete with the parachuter to fly in before the national anthem and fireworks. We both have games first, so I'll leave it there for now.

I don't understand that either, there's at least a dozen playoff caliber stadiums I would think Westeberg would prefer over traveling to Beaumont. On Maxpreps it does have Crosby playing Vidor on a Thursday though.

Lol, the typical Vidor rebuttal lacking content or a reference in which an encyclopedia is needed.

They're better than the King team last year, this year's Central team probably isn't as good as either of the previous two though.

I think both teams are going to hit some big plays in the passing game. I think the team that wins this one is the team the runs the ball the most effectively. Even though Crosby's overall offensive line play has been sketchy at times we've gotten excellent movement in the run game lately. Crosby is used to playing these games, New Caney is the new kid on the block. I think Code Red goes up 1485 and puts it away in no doubt fashion. Crosby 45 New Caney 28

They would most likely lose by a wide margin to New Caney in the first round.

They all realize you're going to get blown out for the third time this year. It's also going to be a great film game for Crosby, along with the benefit of PAM beating you guys up the week before you play us. I think PAM gets up big, then shuts it down to go into the playoffs healthy.

If New Caney wins this game they win the outright district championship for the first time in a couple of decades. If Crosby wins this game they win at least a share of the district championship for the third straight year. If Barbers Hill knocks off Porter in the season finale I would consider this game for the district crown straight up, it would go down in the annals as a "Co-district championship" in that case though. I see it as starting the playoffs a week early, especially Crosby who's going back to the place they lost to Porter. This game doesn't change either team's #1 seeding but it will be a big boost going into the playoffs.

It's win and you're in for Ned next week. Based on my math though, as long as Livingston beats Ozen to end the season and cause a three way tie between Livingston, Ned and Central, Central has the best chance at getting in next week. Basically PNG beats Ned and Livingston beats Ozen, Central will walk into the playoffs with a win over Baytown Lee. I'm expecting either PNG to beat Ned or PAM to beat Vidor next week so the only thing to decide in 22-5A is the D1 #2 seed. I would say go ahead and get the film ready as far as D2.
