Smh. Just saying, this is why AAW had Crosby ranked in front of BH. Good luck to your team the rest of the year though, I hope Crosby and BH finish 1-2.

That’s probably because you were listening to BHFan.

Well, at least something is normal in 2020.

Hopefully we play the second half better than the first. We may need it to win tonight.

We have a four game stretch coming up against teams that are currently a combined 2-9. Hopefully opinions change, but the one thing that really sticks out to me is that Prieto is the first coach at Crosby in a while that wasn’t handed rbs that could control a football game. I agree that he should be able to coach around that with the remaining talent but there’s positions/position groups where the stock doesn’t look as prime as it should for Crosby.

Interesting outcome for the fans of the transitive property: Montgomery just manhandled an undefeated 6A Conroe Oak Ridge by four scores in Moorehead Stadium. Montgomery 38 Conroe Oak Ridge 13 Makes Crosby’s win at Montgomery a lot better. Still doesn’t help the fact Crosby is gave up 45.3ppg during non-district play.

Crosby just gave up 52 easy points to a bad football team. Montgomery was 2-8 last year and won’t be good this year. Looks like the same song and dance for Crosby.

Smh, Man Coach I just wasn’t going to point anything like that out in this environment. What I will say is how it’s odd that both Crosby and Dayton have experienced a demographic shift, yet Cosby views is as having access to additional athletes but some Dayton folk not so much? Funny how I never heard mention of that when Juan Carranco was an all-state kicker and signal caller Andres Herrera had them in the 3rd round. I believe he was actually the last Dayton to also beat Crosby, and you know how much weight that carries down HWY 90.

Yeah, it’s a tough call though? I think Jerry Prieto is probably the best offensive coach in the district. I think as fans we question the need to call the play based on what we were seeing vs the play being called because of what the coaches were seeing? I went back and watched the play and if the kids would’ve executed it's probably a TD if he throws is or at worse a long gain if he runs it. The kids definitely could’ve executed the play cleaner also. The issue is what you mentioned though. Branch was pretty much controlling the game at that point, why go away from it? I think coach was trying to manufacture some passing yards because if there’s one place we are deficient, it’s the ability to drop straight back and throw the football. Still going to be a scary team even if we improve half as much as we did from games 1 to 12 last year.

I tell you what though. There’s nothing to be ashamed about in this one. Offense needs to clean it up but that defense is legit. Crosby can win a lot of games this year with some slight improvement on what they did last night.

The double reverse? 🧐

Welp SETX, here we go

The absolute last thing I thought would be that Crosby would have 10 first half points against anyone. My next unexpected thought would be holding George Ranch to two first half tds.

I don’t think Paetow can finish any higher than 4th in their district with Manvel, Angleton and Foster and if they can’t beat FB Hightower I’m not even sure they make the playoffs? However, I think they’re a good football team who’s well coached and an excellent prep game for what BH will see in district play with Crosby, PNG and Dayton. The reason I think it’ll be a good game for BH is because they’ll probably hang their hat on defense again this year. Paetow has good size on the o-line, speed on the edges and a rising junior qb who’s probably about to land some FBS offers. That’ll be pretty impressive if the BH defense can shut them down regardless of what Paetow does from there on out.

Good chance for Nederland to knock off a good team before they get rolling. Huntsville lost a lot last year, including the coach’s son who was a three year starter at qb. They also lost two beast on a defensive line which really was the strength of their entire team last year. I believe their stud linebacker also graduated and signed with North Texas. One thing about Huntsville is that they’re pretty big for a 5A-D2 team so I do expect that to be an issue for Nederland.

Klein Forest was 0-10 last year but still has Klein ISD level athletes when they don’t choose to transfer to Collins, Oak and now Cain. KF has a young new head coach so you would think there’s going to be some improvement but if GCM can’t clear this hurdle in the opener it’s probably going to be a long year for the Patriots considering the district they play in.

I would’ve much rather put 50 on one of the Baytown schools or one of the 6As from HISD and used it like an extra week of preparation for Manvel. But yeah, GR still has the same type kids that won the 5A-D1 title in 2015 so this will definitely be a test for Crosby.

Yes sir, I will most definitely be there. Going to put a few miles on the old Dodge over the next couple days as I’ll also be in Richmond tomorrow to see one of my little guys get his first high school carries. Yes, Samuel’s namesake is on varsity and from everything I can tell starts at one of the inside receiver positions. They moved him up last year at the end of his freshman season, saw him getting some run against Willowridge in the playoffs. I expect him to be Crosby’s next FBS recruit at the wr position. Crosby will field one of their more talented teams in recent memory this year. I expect them to win the district but considering the first two games I think 9-4 or 10-3 would be a solid overall year. The offense is going to be very good. I just don’t know if the defense, and in particular the secondary, can hold up with as much as they’re probably going to be on the field. Now, if they come out Thursday night and beat GR I would consider that the best win of any of the top ten in 5A-D2 and instantly elevate expectations barring injuries.

Welp, so much for the Cougars trying to ease into the season. Crosby gets their opener with Carthage cancelled and Coach Prieto chooses to replaces them with even stiffer competition in the George Ranch Longhorns. The Longhorns finished 5-7 last year losing to Humble in the 2nd round of the 6A-D2 playoffs. Crosby finished 6-6 in Jerry Prieto’s first opportunity as the lead guy. Just like Crosby, George Ranch brings back their leading passer, rusher and receiver. GR will have the advantage on both lines of scrimmage and also have two of the better offensive prospects on the southwest side of town in junior running back Hymond Drinkard and Baylor commit Javon Gipson at wide receiver. Crosby should be able to hold their own at the offensive skill positions but like most years they’ll only go as far as the defense will allow. Good test for both teams in the season opener albeit for two different reasons.

IDK about 2020? It was in some places in 2019 though. It wouldn’t have applied to this kid though, he has relatively short hair from what I’ve seen. I was told his dad just changed his mind after hearing about it. Could’ve very well been other factors also, that’s just the only one I was told.

I prefer MSNBC. Who the qb is now is irrelevant to anything I posted about the kid transferring. Just responded to another Crosby poster with what I was told by the guy who I consider the foremost expert on boys athletics in BH at the job. I doubt TW even entertains the idea of another qb if he’s excited about what he already has, but that’s just my opinion. Underclassmen qbs for BH have been beating Crosby, they’re 2-7 their last nine tries on varsity. Had Howard not torn his ACL I think that’s 1-8, but again that’s just my opinion.

I don't think they did this year? They were supposed to get a sophomore qb named Tyler Durst from Clear Lake but I was told his parents changed their minds after the hair issue.

Yes it is, I feel like he could reach 4-star level like Netherly did if he stay healthy and things go his way. Probably a group of 5 kid at the worst. Going to be solid edition to those 4 skill returners I mentioned, I think the other kid I was talking about may have just changed jersey numbers? With Samuel in there and if they start Ray both ways it's going to make three of our 4 starting recivers over 6' tall with Wilson, who's our burner, checking in at about 5'10". Dunn looks like he slept in the weight room all Summer and seems primed for a good year too. We're a little smaller than you would like on the o-line but if Branch can maintain the level of play he did in the playoff games, this offense will be on the level with the '17 team. Crosby fans should be very excited.
