Wait, I say Lee will be improved after being 0 for their last 27 then they come out and beat a 6A the first game of the season. Albeit a bad one but a decent W for them nonetheless. You're response is to tell me Crosby will finish 3rd or 4th in district, then proceed to ask "But what do I know?". Obviously you don't know the meaning of asinine.

Box score : [Hidden Content]

They're awful, they just have good athletes and look about like Ridge Point did last year. They've had some solid players come through, their rb is the hurdle champ in that district last year.

Man, just be luck y'all have those weak 5A's in non-district. Otherwise there's a good chance GCM could've ended up with that record.

Not smooth but it was their first game running it and their 6-1/200+lbs qb was hurt. They actually throw it ok out of it when they need to. Not deep and don't have a lot of size but they have 4 or 5 kids that can go. Westbury was huge compared to Lee and Lee held up ok. They only put the ball on the ground one time running the offense which I thought was good for their first time and have some solid receivers. I think they'll be a lot better by game 5 if they can get their qb back. They still suck but I think they'll beat Lumberton, Livingston and probably Ozen. IDK about PNG because Westbury didn't throw it that well.

14-16 Lee Final Lee gets their first win in over two years. It's comes over a bad 6A but Lee won't see athletes like that in district until they play PAM. I'm so asinine for thinking Lee would improve that Soulja co-signed, but I'm not sure he even knows what an improved football team looks like. Hey BG, this is what I get for researching before I post. Picking 0-20 teams with a backup qbs. I wonder how many other 22-5A teams beat Westbury tonight?

Yeah, he does come for qbs though. McElroy, Alec Morris and Hurts all pretty recent. I saw Deandrew White playing receiver for the 49ers the other day. Texas kids don't go there to play offense much because it's so much different than the spreads we run over here.

So wait, we'll have a qb that will be one of the tops in the state, about six more D1's, will be huge on the LOS with speed to burn. Not to mention what seems to be a constant influx of transfers like kids from Manvel, SC and SA Roosevelt this year alone. Not to mention that jv team already lost to Crosby last year as freshman as well as the year before they were crushed. If the jv group is that good why aren't they on varsity? In the years to come Crosby's enrollment will push towards 1,900-2,000 while Dayton stagnates around 1,500. We already had better athletes and every year we get more to choose from. How do you expect more because you have tradition, y'all were good from 2007-2011? You only got passed the second round twice before that in '98 and '61 and haven't been passed it since then?

There have already been multiple outlets that say even if he's not named the starter that he's expected to be under center by mid-season. I wonder how many non-qbs from Texas actually contribute at 'Bama. The only ones I can think of recently are A-Shawn Robinson from Arlington Heights and Deandrew White from North Shore.

No no no, you have it backwards. The paid writers for these publications like Stepp, Malatesta, Tepper and Padilla call us and ask what we think. Then they go write the stories accordingly. We tell them to use terms like "heavyweights", "powerhouse" and to pick us to win while we interject sentences like "The Cougars had state title aspirations in 2015, but were upset in the area round of the state playoffs after an undefeated regular season." or "Crosby head coach Jeff Riodan and his staff has quickly turned Crosby into one of the premier Class 5A programs in the state." You have to let them school you on here, I'm learning every day.

Yeah, then they even give a warning to watch out for Barbers Hill in the next few years when talking about 5A region three. Maybe they're taking a wait and see approach on Dayton. They even shafted Styner on this list: [Hidden Content]

You'll never get them to realize that losing two FBS backs made a difference in that game. They'll say ". . . but I though you were Crosby". So we put Tre Edwards back there, who never played rb before, and he put 163 yards on Dayton while their big o-line and good rb had 45 yards. The injuries piled up on us last year but around here that's no excuse for only going 11-1.

Lol, I'm a few layers removed from that. Fortunately after leaving Crosby I stayed on a college football team long enough to get a degree so I didn't have to deal with small stuff like that. Now I choose contract companies that our safety people fire for having phones out.

Just for context, PAM was 2-4 in district play last year which included a state champion. Georgetown was also 2-4 in 6A district play before they dropped down and smoked Ned on the way to the title game.

Me neither. I usually just decide what fire watch/hole watch company gets to come into the facility.

Y'all do a hell of a job running this site. I've only posted on one other message board in my life and that is usually during playoff time. This is by far the best one I've run across but you can't have people "over there" say they don't consider Crosby SETX and expect us not to make a distinction the other way. The vast majority of the time it's people "over there" that say "we don't really consider Crosby SETX".

I never said that, I said they avoid all of them now. As their enrollment declined it was reflected in their results more years until the classes were split. What school in the DFW spent millions on coaching and facilities and got nothing for it? In the DFW even schools in the hood like Cedar Hill, Desoto and Lancaster have multimillion dollar stadiums. Indoor practice facilities are pretty common too. IDK what it has gotten each individual school but overall it has gotten the DFW/East Texas domination in Texas high school football.

We still have at least 4 more years before we have to go over to the 6A site with guys like NorthShore Mike and Fleeman93 to listen how we're going to get killed. Enjoy it while you can because when they say we're going to get beat, one of them will actually be the team beating us. Not someone from sw Houston central Texas after bi-district.

The already had the old Pizza Hut park too. The Star cost about $216 million, the old Pizza Hut park stadium was $80 million and IDK how much the actual ISD stadium was but Frisco ISD will have access to all three.

They don't see it like us because they go back from the 80's and don't take into consideration the divisions being split in 2012 when they got back to where they are now. After the 2000 title game when their enrollment started to decline they dropped down and missed the playoffs three years in a row and only won the region once in like a 12 year period, then they split the divisions and took all the powerhouses out so now they're probably the most talented team on the 4A-D2 level. We see schools like North Shore, Katy, Pearland, George Ranch all winning titles and schools like Manvel, Cy-Ranch Lamar, Hightower and Brenham all playing for big titles and try to mirror the good parts of those programs. In the Houston area we spend money on coaching and athletic infrastructure as a mean to stay on par with the local competition, over there they just depend on bloodlines.

So you know all of this but haven't actually seen your team play a real game under the new coaching staff? I need to ask you for some lottery numbers too then. If y'all lost to CV by 20 what will your narrative switch to, ". . . they would beat anybody around here just like that"? Or will you realize the guy you hired wasn't much better than the guy you got rid of, if any? Change doesn't always equal success, especially when the landscape is so much different than a decade ago when Dayton was running the district. Now you're in a district where you don't have much of an athletic advantage because 7 of the 9 schools will most likely be 6A in a few alignments unless the cap goes up. None of the kids in district remember the last time Dayton even won a district championship. That horseshoe used to carry some weight, not so much anymore. Matter of fact, earlier today an SC guy was sitting in my office talking football and a Dayton guy walked by talking trash. The SC guy referred to them as the "Shetland ponies" because he said he heard a lot about them before they got in our district but never saw them win anything.

You can look on their Maxpreps page for some of it. IDK how they came up with those numbers? I just re-checked and he had about 110 yards on 5 carries I saw.

Lol, we're playing one of the top 5 teams in the state. Per 247sports they're the most talented team in the state this year. They beat the 6A squad you're playing 71-21 last year, with Hurts. We have more leeway taking an L in this one than you do taking one to CV who probably won't even make they playoffs in their district this year. I want Dayton to win because it makes Crosby look better when they beat teams with good records. Looking at the scrimmage stuff from Dayton it's just more of the same so I'm not really worried about Dayton jumping out on anything.

I know you were being facetious but that about covers it. We played both teams in a two week time span last year, we beat Porter by 28 and we beat Lumberton by 29. I actually got to look at what both teams put on the field. It is what it is, Lumberton is a small 5A that can put a scrappy team on the field sometime and is coached by the hometown guy. Porter is a future 6A if they don't build another school and will have about 2000 kids next alignment. Throw all of that out and just go strictly off coaching prowess though, you have to give the advantage to Porter.
