Lol, on this documentary the 6’6”(Polynesian) lineman moves in and and the black kid who plays on the defensive line talks about transferring from Everman, I believe. This is the exact definition of “them just showing up” as well as goes to my 2% comment on why the numbers are skewed.

Crosby complete schedule:

Actually, next year will make it 3 of the last 4 games played in BH.

Notable Houston area non-district matchups: [Hidden Content]

Crosby Week 1 - @CE King Week 2 - FB Marshall Week 4 - @Barbers Hill

There you go, Longview has a lot better players than Carthage or Liberty Hill so they should absolutely kill is, no questions asked. Good luck to you guys too.

Longview is really the only team on there to worry about. JT is 3-8, 2-7 and 6-5 the last three years, that’s not going to move the needle down here. Great talent out there but of Holmes was really that type of coach he would create more consistent results. Lol, they lost their first round game by 40 last year. Lancaster lost by the same 20 points to Longview to end their season as the did to PA Memorial to start the season last year. Beating up on a bunch of trash in between isn’t that impressive.

Y’all have a lot of talent. Way more than Crosby and should walk through the region. The last thing we are down here is worried though. I mean, y’all already finished second to us once: [Hidden Content]

Waiting to confirm the weeks but Crosby's two non-district games will be CE King and Fort Bend Marshall. For those that have never seen Crosby and play CE King when they're both good, it's sight to behold. I remember Crosby showing up on CE King Parkway 9-0 in 2014. Crosby had Sqwirl and Grace, CEK had Traveon Williams who ended up setting A&M's single season rushing record before being drafted by the Bengals. Long story short, the only way you could get tickets after that Wednesday was to buy them from the kids scalping them outside the stadium before the game. Feeling pretty good about starting 2-0 though. I think Crosby is just straight up better than FBM. I just got though IM'ing with CE King's qb dad and he told me they lost 17 of 22 starters so I see them as ripe for the picking also.

Frisco ISD schools alone last year: Frisco Liberty - 10-2 Frisco - 10-2 Frisco Lone Star(the best Frisco team) - 9-3 Frisco Wakeland(knocked out Highland Park) - 9-3 Frisco ISD will probably sweep district 5 unless Timberview knocks one of them off. If we can win the district we'll play from the same position College Station did last year, meaning we wouldn't possibly see a district champion until the third round. I've charted us something like this; 1st round - Mckinney North/John Tyler, 2nd round - Frisco, 3rd round - Longview

Their qb Jakoby Banks will be back and they have a running back that's pretty good when Banks decides to hand him the ball. Their two big D1 receivers are gone but I wasn't real impressed with Banks passing numbers for the year anyway. He's committed to UH to play in the slot and does have elite track speed though. FB Marshall is a transfer destination for the HISD kids close them so who knows what type of athletes they'll acquire over the offseason? More than anything else, their defense will be a problem for district teams. BH was able to beat them up at the line of scrimmage last year, I don't think anybody in the district will be able to replicate that though. Not to mention James Williams is no slouch on their sideline. Pretty simple theory though; Win district and if you can figure out Liberty Hill's slot-T you're going to play for a title.

I think Longview is really the only beast in that district. If you can't beat those other teams in that district in the state they're in now then you don't need to be in the discussion anyway. I think that Frisco district is a lot more loaded.

Going to be a 4hr drive from Tyler or McKinney to Crosby too.

Yep, PNG will have a two and a half hour ride one way to play the Fort Bend schools in Missouri City. Probably three hours on the way taking into consideration the traffic on the southwest side of Houston.

"We" meaning the district as a whole. 4th place team from this district will have a 4hour ride to Longview for a first round game.

How awesome. We get to play bi-district games in Dallas🙄

Coach’s reaction today when they find out Crosby is in their district: [Hidden Content]

That's beside the point. Can he win a title in less than 7 years is the only question that needs to be discussed.

Actually, Stepp said he was only 99% sure of that. Honestly though, at this point in Crosby's progression I would just be happy about any class we play in where we can avoid the slot-T.

To Aledo's credit, whatever they're doing out there is obviously legal since I'm sure the UIL has checked. Yes, the qb this past year was a transfer from California. Got to see him up close last year in Dallas. They also had an offensive lineman come from California a couple years earlier, he was a 6'6"/315lbs 4* that ended up signing with Michigan. I'm sure it's all a coincidence though.

I think there's a lot of value in a PNG vs Crosby non-district game. PNG gets a test athletically and Crosby has to play in in maybe the toughest environment in 5A after a long bus ride which is similar to how the playoffs are. I think Coach P prefers to try to make us go 0-3 to start every season though?

I was going through BF's record looking at different things last week. Considering the caliber athletes on both sides, would you consider his wins against BU "quality" wins?

If they go ahead and make a 7A class, depending on how many team they put in it, I think the 6A floor could be pushed down and both Crosby and BH could be over it by the '24 alignment. That would help close the gap significantly in 5A-D2.

IDK man? With a schedule like that and the supply chain issues we're having he may have trouble finding napkins.

Yeah, they just showed up at Aledo. I watched Aledo's 1998 title game against Cuero and I didn't see one black kid on the team. Not that that part matters but somehow all of a sudden with the same 2% black population in their school you get Johnathan Gray, Jase McClellan, Jojo Earle, the Allen brothers, Jeff Carter, etc. ALL in recent years when they never had them before. Throw that in with their population explosion and Aledo is a total anomaly in the sense that their recruiting numbers look more like Arlington Martin's versus Southlake Carroll's like they should. CE King is good now. Is it because the new coach is that much better or is it because their enrollment grew by 1500 kids since they were in the district with Crosby 6 years ago? 1500 additional North Shore type kids is going to make it easier on any coach. Jon Kay has won 4 state titles in 8 years at North Shore. He might end up as the greatest high school coach ever but he's not beating Dodge, Samples, Carter and Joseph with Summer Creek's talent the way he's basically owned them while at North Shore going 11-3 in those contest. Meanwhile he's 3-5 against the Meekins brothers at Westfield. I know you don't consider them great coaches due to not having titles though. There's a huge difference between "low" expectations and realistic expectations which is where I think you're getting confused. I watched PNG play Montgomery and I would've given Montgomery a slight advantage athletically yet PNG still beat them. If PNG played Montgomery 10 times it would probably be 5-5. I watched them play Texas High the next week and the gap in athletes was more like a chasm. They could play that game 10 times and TH would probably win 9 of them. If PNG's administration can't can't objectively watch their team play and come to that conclusion then that's more on them than it is on BF.
