Yeah, I see what you're saying but when you actually watch the games at those levels you'll see we just have a hard time running the offense when kids like the Twins, Cotton, Netherly, Howard, etc. never play a jv snap or in Williams case never even take a freshman snap. I agree we shouldn't lose 40-14 in any case but that's usually what we look like on jv.

I agree it hurts the smaller school more to move youngsters up. My point is when you take the caliber of sophomore talent off those squads Crosby does it hurts just as much or more. At those lower levels we don't adjust to our talent just to try to win games so if something isn't working we may not necessarily get out of it, instead choosing to run it again and work on it so they have it down by Fridays.

So wait, Manvel was trying to play us again but instead we scheduled Jasper and you think Jasper is the game we really didn't want to play? Probably off on that one. Every time we play a team from SETX, no matter who it is, the sentiment is the same from said team's fan base. Yet we haven't lost to one of them since 2012.

I believe the only thing that has Crosby worried is the 5+ hours of driving we have to do to get there and back.

It's not going to show up as much on the underclassmen because you're only playing one grade of kids usually. If you have a couple of studs or a good class you can make up a lot. When you use nearly 1,700 kids to make a 45 man roster against a school using 700 to make a 45 man roster for varsity teams is where you notice the difference.

The way we throw the ball in our offense it makes a drastic difference when there's a drop off in that ability with the next man up. The sophomore qb that's on varsity has been a stud since 7th grade and I'm not sure how many games they've ever lost with him playing which is why he's up. I imagine he would start for half the teams in the district right now. That's a huge deal not having a player like him at that level of competition, as well as his top receiving target who's also on varsity and will be very good when it's his time.

You should ask Dayton, Barbers Hill and New Caney what those jv games mean? They're 0 indication of what happens the following night. Like CCRed said, the qb that should be on jv is backing up Howard on varsity. Kind of like how our jv record would've been a lot better last year had Howard not been on varsity picking apart Barbers Hill. Varsity has won 51 games the past 5 years while I would be surprised if the jv won more than 25 games. We go through these same comments and explanations every year in reference to Crosby's jv.

Never thoughts I'd say it but I think BH fans are the most realistic on here. Rarely do they overestimate their results on the field, at least for the last couple of years. I think it's something to be said for that.

If Dayton gives up a lot of points in this one I would be kind of worried about district play. Ned has a running back that's close to Santee and a pretty good receiver #22. They have another solid receiver but no players on the level of Kimler, Seay or Hopkins of years past. Are they showing this one on Texan Live?

It's Jasper man. Half these kids have never even heard of it, much less know where it is or what kind of football team they have. I've seen Crosby not ready to play very few times under the new staff but still, you find your extra motivation where it rears its head.

Ah man, you getting rubbed too? Laughing stock of SETX, I move the needle on here bro. I think I used the 2010 year when y'all had two wins and missed one of the others, either way it is significantly less wins against weaker competition for a team that's supposed been great since the Jim Crow era. I use Maxpreps and it has y'all at 43. That's what happens trying to rush posts before a 2am meeting. I can admit that, you're wrong and double down on it though. In other words I over-researched it and went back too far looking at what is supposedly this great team that pre-dates women's suffrage. The point about the NFL and the NCAA players we've signed is asking if it's all hype why do some many recruiters, talent evaluators and pollsters fall for it every year? Not one time have I seen Crosby walk on a field and the other team say, "You know, with all this hype we're going to go ahead and let you have this one." You're going to find out all about it, I promise.

I love #9. Reminds me a lot of Trevor Larkin. Love receivers who don't mind contact, #9 has had a few catches this preseason where I'm not sure dbs were happy to be on the business end of things.

Cotton was an elite game manager that led by example, he had a bunch of weapons and a nasty defense to compliment him. He was a great runner and solid decision maker, he was a little short on arm strength and I think his height caused some inaccuracy at times when he threw from the pocket due to line of sight issues. As far as just flat out throwing the football there's really no comparison between the two. The only kid I've ever seen throw the ball like Jaiden is Kellen Haynes who threw for 4,000 plus his senior year and signed with North Texas. Howard's arm talent and belief in his ability causes him to throw the ball into spots other kids normally wouldn't but I think you have to live with that. I'm sure after he picks y'all apart you'll have something to say about a throw he missed to try to prove your point when every single person that has watch pretty much every single game both have played are on here is telling you otherwise.

Kind of my point, I didn't have the weights so I didn't respond but on the left side alone with Chase Todd and Danny G I would think averages in the 285-290 range.

51 wins to Jasper's 38 and 3 consecutive district titles, 23-1 at home the last five years with last loss coming in 2012. 30+ NCAA signees with Raelon Singleton about to be drafted in the next couple of years with Chance Casey making three starts for the Raiders in he secondary. 12 consecutive post-season appearances and only 1 first round loss the last nine years. Reached #2 in the AP poll and the last 5A in this coverage area to win the region since Dayton nearly a decade ago. Find me another 5A school in Houston that can match that besides Manvel. Your failed to do research which is why you continuously made false post on our record which is the dumb part. If the only thing you can point to are state championships and records beginning nearly a century ago you just told me we're pretty damn salty. Unlike y'all, we don't worry about the history over here because we're legit right now. I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long . . .

I don't think Dayton is going to be a playoff team this year but I think they'll have enough to beat Nederland by a couple of scores. Hard to know what Ned will be without ever seeing the new coach actually coach in a game but it doesn't look like anything really changed with Ned on the field. Nederland has a very small defensive line and if Dayton has anything up front I could see Ned struggling to contain Santee. Question with Dayton as it's been the last couple year is, "What do they get from the qb position?"

Nah, that's what they're going to run out there this year. So yeah . . .

Ah, ever since you've looked dumb with those 19-1 posts you switched up the style like you were trying to get a rise instead of just being wrong. I got you now, you're right though. It is fun.

The best show on turf was Summer Creek dude. At least if you're going to chime in be talking about the right team. Now that you don't play Silsbee I would be a lot more concerned with my own game and starting 0-1.

I don't think it'll be a blowout at all. Sterling is going to have better athletes than PNG. I think Sterling will also have an advantage at the line of scrimmage and the way Hill looked against PAM's athletes I highly doubt they keep him from getting in the endzone multiple times, even if PNG stacks the box. The only issue I see is that Sterling doesn't throw it real well so IDK how they would fare if it got to be a shootout?

I love the ancient history the SETX fans always bring up right before they play us. Y'all literally reach back to times before integration. Then we put 40 or 50 you and you realize how much all that tradition matters.

This comment right here shows you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Just make sure you're here Saturday morning, I'm going to have plenty more for you.

The video I'm talking about against Newton is from 3 weeks ago. I doubt they've bulked up since then. I agree with the Newton fans perspective on what they saw.

I agree with you 100% after watching some of the scrimmage film. I feel bad now for even dedicating this many posts trying to explain my reasoning.

Wow, I'm glad you put me on that Soulja. Lol, I don't think Crosby's kids have seen an o-line like that since the ones that got to play on JV and that's with no shade. I thought the kid was going to look like Jordan Cooper or something. I'm changing my prediction to 49-14 or 56-14. Crosby fans, I think we're ok despite having to go to the "Dawg House", lol. This is Jasper's starting QB but just take a look at the offense in total. Scroll down to the Newton scrimmage earlier this year and watch: [Hidden Content]
