That sucks. Banks not playing is the reason I thought NS lost to Katy earlier this year. Going to be tough to get past Katy now, although Ridge Point almost knocked them off in bi-district. I think Banks and the kid from Rockwall are the most impactful receivers in 6A. Kid was beast last year against Duncanville as a sophomore.

Crosby held FBW to 89 yards on 34 rushing attempts, their 1,000 yards rb who actually did play was held to 66 yards on 22 attempts. We forced four turnovers and dropped another sure int. Rufus Scott carved up Manvel too, and you see bad their defense was against Nederland, right? I’m not trying to sell anything, I’ve seen my team play a heck of a lot more playoff games than you have seen yours so I’m pretty confident about what I was looking at. Yes, Crosby absolutely needs to play BETTER defense if they want to continue to advance but the only other kid who has arm talent Crosby just saw is FB Marshall’s qb.

Devon Achane - 19 carries for 252 yards and 4 tds. I don’t think A&M Con. has any better luck against him next week either. Him and Hornsby are both seniors so at least if you draw them next year at least you got a real shot. They’ll probably the only one of the current “contenders” still in 5A-D2 region 3 after realignment.

Only place I know is on Texan Live

Back to back weeks of putting up over 600 yards of offense. Kind of scary to give up 560 yards on defense but Rufus Scott is the truth. He was helped by Crosby’s soft coverage but it is what it is. 28-38 for 476 yards and 4 tds. Crosby picked him off three times but I would still say he’s the best qb Crosby has been on the field with this year and he’s only a junior so we could see them next year. Nice work by the big boys up front last night, they paved the way for 464 team rushing yards. Branch and Dunn combined for 30 attempts, 360 yards and 6 tds. It won’t be the first dumb thing I’m accused of saying, but even though we gave up 42(35 on the starters) I think the defense played pretty well. FBW QB just seemed to put it right between the numbers every third and long in the first half. [Hidden Content]

Not the year P.A.M. wanted but I would be more concerned about the next two after realignment. P.A.M. will probably draw the 9th district again. The only thing that will change in 5A-D1 district 10 is replacing Manvel for Shadow Creek

Yeah, I was giving them a lot of credit considering what East Texas usually is. Mathis went back to Desoto this year though. I think Crosby can beat Huntsville if the defense can make a few more stops, especially on theirs down.

NC finishes with the dreaded 10-1 record as I eluded to in the prediction thread but it’s really no shame on this one. NC is a good team and still had a good season. To put it in perspective; Foster, Angleton and Shadow Creek have all made the semis in the last 4 years from that district. Hightower(who played for a title against Allen) and Friendswood are the other squads. Truly the “district of death”.

Marshall’s stud qb transferred to a school in Shreveport after like the 2nd or 3rd game of the season. They had the Arkansas wr commit playing qb and really couldn’t throw. Can’t say I’m really surprised by this one. I thought Marshall would still win after going 7-0 in that district but it’s November.

Lmao, you got me on that one. Dave Tepper is the old ESPN 97.5 radio guy I listened to, I was posting during the PNG vs FB Marshall highlights on Fox Sports

Crosby gave up 42 tonight, how was I wrong in our evaluation? PNG and Ned both lost by 5 tds, how was I wrong in those evaluations? Frank Brown, who’s the 2nd best rb in this region, didn’t play tonight and you think going 3-1 on evaluations is bad? Got you👍

Definitely the shocker of the night. Nasty combination of a DFW/East Texas district they matched up with but wow. Wonder if this means we get a Westbrook/Westlake vs Westfield matchup instead this year taking into considering Longview only beat them by 3. Nothing more than a reach but an interesting development.

Wow, he didn’t play at all? Kid had over 2,000 all-purpose in the regular season. Put over 300 on Manvel. It’s all about how the matchups play out in the post-season.

Someone can always chime in and say you know more but they won’t. They’ve seen almost 10 years of me putting work on SETX. You barely know about your own team, I’m a regular dude who gets replies to pretty much every tweet I make to Matt Stepp or Dave Tepper. I don’t care about Crosby doing anything in the past either, I’m getting flak from Crosby fans for nor being excited enough about a team that just tied the school scoring record in a playoff game. I’m truly glad BH has finally won a playoff game after investing half a million dollars in a coach. Remember what I said though. Reality always seems to roll around in November.

Not really. I saw on the Friday football app earlier today that Frank Brown was banged up and y’all were going to have a big advantage. Those are the breaks you need in the playoffs and y’all got one, congrats. I’m truly happy for y’all. Nobody on this site knows thinks you know more football than me. This is BH’s second playoff win since they’ve moved to 5A, focus that instead of talking s**t. BH didn’t prove anything except they’re willing to pay $150k+ for a bi-district win. Crosby probably has 10 bi-district wins the last 15 years.

Micheal Ray is sick out there. Him, Hunter Bailey and Tramell White should all be first team all-district

Damn Crosby, boys are acting like it’s November . . .

Looking like Crosby is probably going to need 60 to win this one. Run defende is pretty salty tonight, qb for Willowridge is the real deal though.

QB from Willowridge probably has 300 yards passing at the half. Couple of questionable play calls for Crosby keeping it closer than it probably should be but to be fair, we’ve had 2 probable td drives stopped on poor execution by the players and a flat out senseless penalty.

My bad, we hired Rio in January. I was thinking about when when he left. Still the same situation though. We didn’t play Spring ball so that we could have the two preseason scrimmages like we did this year.

You could probably cut some of the last comments and put them on the Willowridge vs Crosby thread and lock ours if need be.

Exactly, same situation as Riordan who was hired right around the beginning of March in 2012. We lost the opener to a good Ned team and finished the season 8-4. Lost to Manor after blowing a second half lead, Manor won the region. We looked good all year though. Crosby was ranked #2 in the state last year, if Howard doesn’t tear his ACL Crosby goes 10-0 for the second time under Rio. That’s even with the financial cloud. You should be concerned if you had to go to overtime with a team that just lost by 35. The kids don’t suck at all, I’ve said continuously that Crosby has the most talent in the district. These kids didn’t go through any adversity, they didn’t have their school shot up like Santa Fe. They weren’t flooded out of their homes like Vidor. If you’re calling 40 kids in a classroom, double stacked busses or not or kneel in the ball at the end of the game adversity then ok, but hiring a coach in May isn’t. With that being said I’ll ask you. Why did Crosby until about 2 weeks ago continuously kill themselves with pre-snap penalties? How do you show up for a district championship game and get destroyed by a mediocre team? With the best talent in the district, why are we playing a toss up game with basically and inner-city HISD school? Crosby fans used to think this was a bad thing, I guess now we’re supposed to be excited for finishing second in maybe worst district in the region.

See above ^ response when you’re running low on material. See you also cut it back to one emoji this post, must’ve been some truth to that.

Nah, I don’t think Manvel if good enough to beat Aledo. They would beat Calallen or PLC in the semis if Tivy is what I think though. I think Manvel will play FB Marshall in the regional final and it’s a toss up. Manvel’s path to the regional final could be Ned, Lindale and BH. It doesn’t get any easier than that. I would probably take FB Marshall in the game though.

No bad mouthing at all. If Crosby loses tonight it will be their worst record in 10 years. That’s the facts of the team you’re playing on. The coach that coached that team got fired the very next year after losing to Vidor. Other schools fail to respect us because we got blown out by New Caney, Barbers Hill and lost by double digits at home to Vidor. If Crosby wins tonight and loses to Marshall next week it will still be their worst record since 2011 when Flannigan was fired, and that’s with the WOS game cancelled. I’ve been on this site for almost 10 years and anybody here can tell you that NOBODY wants Crosby to win more than me and NOBODY has defended Crosby or tried to explain situations concerning them more than me. Now pay attention in class and ty to beat Willowridge tonight if you’re one of the kids that get playing time. By the way, you see CC Miller with Coach Garcia in his first year as OC is 10-0 for the first time in school history with 1,200 kids playing in 5A-D1. Completely different winning down there vs up here.
