What I’m saying is I don’t believe Durley ever gets the Westbrook job in the first place if he doesn’t win that title in ‘76 at Hebert.

Those facts hurt, huh? Smh, something this imbecilic doesn’t even really deserve a response but I’ll oblige. I’m probably the only racist you know that spends three hours a night watching Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell and Brian Williams consecutively while voting for moderate democrats like Hilary and Biden. I don’t know what your obsession is with me but it’s pretty sad in itself, lol.

There were actually 16. I believe all but one or two at the time had played for Smith or Ozen. I’m pretty sure Smith coached 22 pros by himself in total. Hebert’s 1976 UIL title is what I believe ultimately led to Westbrook’s 1982 title, but Beaumont unquestionably had the talent to win several more.

You can’t resist saying stupid stuff like Lake Travis lost to 4th place Round Rock, can you? At least the stuff I say can be backed up with actual data, in this case a court order. But to answer you question, yes. I find it very damning that some of the best athletes in the entire country at the time weren’t allowed to display their talents in the UIL.

PNG could have freshman classes of 500 kids for the next 6 years and wouldn’t move up to 5A-D1. PNG turned in 1,505 on their last snapshot and their enrollment has been stagnant or declining for about the last 20 years on average. They would have to have added 700+ kids in six years to potentially make the D1 cutoff during the ‘26 alignment and I don’t see that data trend anywhere in SETX right now.

I think the folks in Beaumont back then were good with taking L’s as long as their kids didn’t have to go to school with the ones Willie Ray and Clifton J. were coaching.

If I’m interpreting the article correctly, in order to make a 6A split solve the problem adding a 7A class would then the 6A class as a whole would have to have about 330 schools in. It would pretty much be impossible to align 165 schools into 16 districts. However, if you pull the largest 80 schools out of the current 6A to make 7A, keep 250 in 5A and 6A, then you will get a trickle down effect that will close the enrollment gaps in the smaller classes which I think is the UIL’s ultimate goal.

I think the bigger the enrollments the more diminishing the returns from the enrollment gaps. For instance, when Crosby and CE King we’re in the same district we used to beat King a lot. Now King has about 800 more kids than Crosby and has a pretty decent talent advantage. Adding a 4A school(800 kids) to one team that already has pretty equal talent to the other is devastating at an 1,800 student enrollment. On the flip side, if you were to double Crosby’s current enrollment we would have about 800 less kids than North Shore. As it stand right now North Shore would murder Crosby every time we lined up but if you doubled our current talent I don’t think we would have any issue playing with them. North Shore’s advantage of 800 kids with Crosby sitting at 3,600 students means way less than King’s advantage of 800 with Crosby sitting at 1,800. You can only play 22 at a time so I think Allen’s huge advantage is depth that can mitigate injuries, not necessarily quality of the starting talent.

My guess would be October 22nd or October 29th based on the past few realignments. Looks like it's been the last Friday in October recently.

More detailed explanation of what Stepp was talking about in regards to 7A. Also gives examples of who would be in the districts: [Hidden Content]

Well, GCM fans should be somewhat excited. I was at the 7th grade game last night and that new E.F. Green school that just opened on side of GCM has some freaking studs. Other than Cunningham in North Shore I haven't see a group of kids that looked like that in middle school. Their running back will probably have to play varsity as a freshman if he stays at GCM so hopefully we can get him over to Crosby before he needs a PAPF.

Montgomery finished second in that district last year. Montgomery looks better or equal to last year and Huntsville has taken an obvious step back with out the Bobinos and Woodberry. A&M-C got beat by a Willis squad that's not even going to make the playoffs in their six team district. I wouldn't at all be surprised to see Fulshear or Lake Creek knock off one of the top three teams from that district, it's probably more likely to happen than not. Maxpreps is an algorithmic ranking system so their accuracy improves week to week but one thing I always find them good for is identifying teams having plus seasons and putting them on the radar early.

That's because Ennis took Aledo to OT in the 2019 regional final. DC's had them ranked preseason #1 over Aledo and they went undefeated in the regular season which is why Aledo was ranked #2 when we played them in the title game.

I wouldn’t argue with much on there. You know FB Marshall isn’t #13 though and there’s no way Denison should be #6 after getting beat 49-7 at home by Lovejoy last week. The algorithm Maxpreps uses to rank teams probably needs a couple more weeks of data collection. For instance, Crosby was ranked #8 after the PAM game. We didn’t even play last week and 4 of the DCTF 5A-D2 top ten lost, yet we still dropped two spots in the Maxpreps rankings because teams were able to collect more strength points while we sat.

If everyone gets it together there’s no reason we can’t get three teams in the third round this year. District champ has made the third round ever since they split the divisions. The questions are; can our runner-up beat Texas High and can our third place team beat the Huntsville vs Consol. winner? I’ll be biased and say Crosby is going to win the district but just looking at film and watching some games I like our district’s chances in a Ned vs Texas High matchup and a BH vs Huntsville/Consol. matchup this year. All three teams have things to clean up but I think the district is competitive enough this year that it’s going to force you to do so. Our 5th place finisher this year would probably be a playoff team in 75% of 5A-D2 districts.

Crosby vs Day . . . Never mind Manvel plays FB Hightower, Hightower will probably finish third and be the first round opponent for the runner-up 9-5A-D1. Marshall plays Pine Tree in 9-5A-D2, winner is probably the second round opponent for 12-5A-D2 district champion. New Caney vs College Station is a big game. I think CS is one of the four best teams in that region this year along with Lone Star, Ryan and Highland Park. I think CS is going to be a little too much this time but NC could make a major statement with the upset.

You know he was sick after they got destroyed by FB Marshall and Crosby took them out in the regional final the next week. Made that DC look like the fluke it really was. That’s about the time he stopped responding last year.

Hey man, we’re just happy an average team like Crosby could make it further than a sub-par team like Nederland. I remember you blowing that same hot air last year too. Region looks easier to me this year, I wouldn’t be so quick to run my mouth.

Crosby has been to the playoffs 15 of the last 16 years. Donta Allen was a solid contributor for us before he got hurt in ‘14 and Branch was a beast last year. Those were the two main kids and those kids weren’t comparable to Haynes throwing for 4,000+ in a season, Walter rushing for 2,700+ Beck catching 100+ balls for 2,000+ yards, all which have been done in Crosby’s 16 year playoff stretch I’m talking about. It’s clear you have no idea what you’re talking about when it comes to Crosby.

That’s what the funniest thing is to me. All the Baytown kids we’ve had are from Barrett Station. We’ve had one Baytown kid be a major contributor on a team that has made a deep run and now we’re dependent on them, lol. Some of these folks are hilarious.

Why do you keep saying that? Round Rock won their district and LT would’ve gotten blown out had they played Westlake last year in the district play. That wasn’t surprising Round Rock beat them.

In another note, A&M-C is losing 17-10 to a not very good Willis team

Good game right here. Hopefully Atascocita’s QB is healthy enough to finish. Had a chance for points at the end and kind of went down soft.

35-6 King at the half. They definitely have 60 if they want it.

28-0 King. I doubt Huntsville can beat whoever the second place team in 12-5A-D2 is.
