We’re not. We’re looking at the best offense in the district

Well, I just figured since Crosby had Dayton 49-0 at the half that the best offense in the district would at least have them 50-0? BHfan said they were playing 8th graders which would explain it though.

Not in any way to impact the game. It’s not blowing over there in BH either.

36-0, not all of the starters dressed out. We got freshman scoring though

Does BH have the starters in? I figured the best offense in the district would have a lot more than this at the half.

Wow, Manvel stays in 5A-D1. Not much relief for 9-5A-D1. I think BH is safe in D2. BU looks like they’ll probably be safe in D1 too.

I guess that's from the re-zoning article I was reading? If that's the case then FB Willowridge's numbers should be up to.

You're first post was probably right though. PNG will struggle to break 20 tonight IMO. PNG's run defense is bad and TC runs it pretty well. PNG won't be able to run it on TC and TC's pass defense is the best in the district. It probably won't be over as fast as Crosby but Indian fans may be in for another long night.

NM, was looking at the other divisional cutoffs

Even with the backups Crosby would crop dust whatever that was that Nederland put on the field last night. Crosby has only played one competitive game since district play started and our starters need reps. With another bye week coming up in the first round, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Coach P play the starters all the way through the third and try to put 70 on Nederland.

I just thought both teams were playing championship level defense? At worst I figured nobody had been updated the score. Turns out it’s door #3 where two suspect teams just combine to make each other look competitive.

Looking like Crosby may get three consecutive bye weeks.

BH has run 547 offensive plays this year, FB Marshall has run 220. Chris Marshall has probably only played on about half of those and still has those type numbers. Imagine what his numbers would look like if FBM had attempted 202 passes like BH instead of the 69 they have. Good observation but all stats aren’t created equal. If they were we would be talking about BH having a better offense than Aledo.

Chris Marshall has 11 tds on just 13 catches and averages 35 yards per catch. He probably has only played in the second half twice this year. Think about the numbers he'll put up once they target him 10 times in one game like they will in the playoffs. Banks averages 17.9 yards per rush and 27.1 yards per completion. One of their starting rbs averages 17.1ypc. Overall they average 13.2ypc as a TEAM. They've scored 58 offensive tds with their starters playing the equivalent of about 5 complete games. The 395 yards per game they average, which is what I think you were alluding to, has to be taken with a grain of salt because of how good their defense is. That's what I was pointing out on whey BH averages more offensive yards than Crosby but Crosby averages more points. FBM could average over 600ypg in that district but the games are over at halftime so there's no need.

State ranked teams are in here talking though. Why is Lumberton even on the thread?

FBM by 20+. BH may not get a single stop in that matchup? Against the more competent defenses their main source of points seems to come off the deep ball. FBM's best position group is usually their offensive line but last year and this year it is looking like their dbs. Crosby struggled to throw it against them last year with Herman AND Kirkwood out there so I think BH would have the same issue. They also run a more simplified route tree than Crosby. I think BH would hold their own on the offensive line but it would be hard for them to find any consistency in the running game, Hagler isn't the same type of game-breaking back you need to beat them like Branch was last year for us. I think they would end up in a shootout with Montgomery and have a good chance to win though. I would put the line at BH +10.5 against Texas High, they're Texas City with a better offense. I think BH could get TH too but they would have to play their best defensive game of the year. *All these observations are subject to change if BH pulls another PNG against TC a couple of weeks from now. Heck, it might change if they struggle with Dayton this week.

Well, they're all back now. Luckily we were able to keep the $85M in new facilities that got us into that position in the first place.

Crosby beat the best slot-t team in the state last year to make it to the title game. Maybe losing to Vidor's slot-t the year before that helped us prepare? Good luck this season and hope y'all make it to state. We look like we're in good position to make it back to Dallas ourselves. There's no point in discussing Crosby vs Vidor games anymore really, communities are heading different directions so there's never a chance we would play y'all again. Congratulations, Vidor is 2-2 against Crosby and nobody can take that away from y'all.

If Crosby lined up with FB Marshall tomorrow I think we would win by a bigger margin than we did last year. The offense is literally Ja'Koby Banks and nothing else. They were more dynamic last year and the qb was a better passer than Banks is. Banks is a certified track star but I don't think he's any different than lining up against Jamar Sanders. I think we would roll Texas High again this year too. Montgomery is the team that worries me because even though we could probably drop 60 on them they may be able to get clos to that on us too.

Lol, y'all had a great night. Why were y'all down to PNG at the half the very next week while Crosby was up 35 though? If it wasn't a fluke Crosby wouldn't be currently doubling BH's average margin of victory in district play. No stats needed, just the eyeball test.

Like you said, you put the starters back in because they didn't score enough points initially to put it away. Ok, so yards win games now and not points? As far as the best positions statistically though: Myles has 140 passing attempts, 20 passing tds against only two picks, averages 17.7 yards per completion and has 12 rushing tds on the season to go with it. Holdren has 202 passing attempts, 20 passing tds against 7 picks, averages 15.5 per completion and has 6 rushing tds. That's with Holdren play a lot more snaps than Myles too. Every coach in the district would take Myles over Holdren if given a choice. Hagler has 138 attempts for 931 and 11 tds. Jones has 112 attempts for 718 and 10tds. You can say advantage BH here but Hagler has played more and there's not a single coach in the district who's taking him over Jones if given the choice. Herndon has 25 catches for 660 and 13 tds. Kirkwood has 39 for 787 and 11tds but is the much more dynamic player. Dixon has 14 for 411 and 2tds, Womack has 22 for 405 and 7tds. You may have an argument for some coaches taking Herndon over Kirkwood but Herndon is basically a one trick pony with the deep ball, Kirkwood runs every route on the tree. BH has run 574 offensive plays and averages 7.3 per play while Crosby has run 466 offensive plays and average 7.4 per snap. To my point about BH starters playing more snaps, Kirkwood and Jones aren't even playing this week. At what skill position would you say BH is better than Crosby?

Y'all had to put the starters back in on KP and only won by 14 while scoring 41 points. Crosby had 46 at the half and was playing backups in the second quarter, scored 67. Dayton was 49-3 at the half, let's see what y'all have at the half Friday. TC was 36-7 at the half and 50-13 after three quarters. Y'all only scored 28 on PAM. Y'all scored 35 on PNG, Crosby started playing some backups in the second quarter and still scored 69, should've been 76 but we coughed it up at their 4 yardline. Hagler and Holdren ain't worth 35 points in one quarter. You did't play backups the whole game against Santa Fe, Fuentes started because Holdren was suspended for a half but all of your other starters started. I see the stats they registered. Crosby has dropped 50+ every game in district compared to only twice for BH. Even with Carthage and Manvel on the schedule Crosby is still going to average over 50ppg this year once we get to play against Santa Fe and Nederland's defenses. All you really have to do to answer the question is ask our common opponents which offense they would rather line up against?

Well, it was nice knowing y'all then because if this is the game of the week 14.2 will be stroked out by the third quarter.

If PNG is going to be successful running the ball on TC it's going to be up the middle. Your interior offensive linemen have a lot better chance of getting movement against their D-line than your RB does trying to hit the outside against their speedy linebackers. TC's d-line is their weakest position on that side of the ball. Again, if PNG is going to win Friday they're going to have to consistently move people off the ball at the line of scrimmage as well as try to hit three or four big pass plays against what's probably the best secondary in the district.

I don’t think BH has a better offense than Crosby which is why Crosby averages more points on the season and has scored more against every common opponent so far. BH plays their starters longer because their defense is worse and they play on longer fields, therefore they need to gain more yards to score similar points. Crosby’s offense has been more efficient this year.
