From his statement "It's unfortunate I've found myself in this situation........"- Having to pick between playing college ball while making money or stay in high school and probably play for a state title is not unfortunate lmao. "....as my preference would have been to complete my senior season at Southlake Carroll....." Ok then, stay. No one is making you leave. I find the post disingenuous. Maybe I'm off on that.

If any of yall are on chess.com add me and we can get a game.

Fair enough.

I wanna bet you not them.

On the smoaky forum you said "I will be shocked if they stay within 20pts with Carthage to start the season". Avatar bet, I'll take Crosby +20.5?

Didnt see this thread when posting to your other post 14.2. And the first thing that comes to my mind when a kid is 6'2 but weights 340 pounds is terrible parenting.

DCTF had an interview with the Crosby head coach. He said yall return 3/3. But 25-30 were able to get those extra 6 weeks of practice last year and that should definitely help. He also said spring ball gives the coaches a good idea of what they will have when they start in the fall (I'm a huge fan of spring ball for multiple reasons.) Ultimately the coach agrees with you that it comes down to the lineman (offense and defense). Personally I think FBM makes it to the title game again but we will see!

I agree with you about Manvel making others seem normal lol. Beating Manvel is a feather in the cap for sure. They have an impressive history considering that have only been around since 2008. 139-31 overall and a 34-11 playoff record is nice!

Did you ever go back and watch the Aledo/CH game on youtube?

Week 2 Aledo travels to Lone Star. Should be a tough test for both teams.

Yes, in general Lovejoy is not mentioned often. They have not accomplished that much compared to those other schools. There have been really good one hit wonder teams here in DFW, Lovejoy is in that category for the time being. If they keep making region finals and having great seasons then they could make a name for themselves. But they have a lot of work to do before they are a household name. *For what its worth they are beast in volleyball. Probably more well known around the state for their volleyball program than football.

Then why would you hire them? If neither have had much success as a defensive coach recently?

Sounds fun. They should have a good LB core with the new kid and #20 who was pretty good last season.

Who moved in to Lovejoy? And I slightly disagree about 5-20. I'd say 10-20. The top 9 are pretty solid.

Not sure being ranked #3 is close to flying under the radar lol.

Carthage fans bring up wanting to play us frequently. Aledo fans dont. That was my point. And how many times have I talked about Carthage to be considered "a lot"? I'd doubt it's more than other SETX teams I mention.

Weird that you would brag about beating 5A teams all the time and show no quality examples. Marshall, Jacksonville and Whitehouse are not exactly impressive wins. Especially when you're trying to convince others you can beat Aledo. Id be more impressed if y'all beat Argyle first.

Which teams and what years?

How many programs would you consider elite in Texas?

Crosby is a step up from Marshall but I dont see us playing Carthage anytime soon. Much more interested in playing Highland Park, Southlake, or Cedar Hill.

4AD2 has several excellent programs in it. Would be nice to see someone upset Carthage this year.

I'm a believer that the extra 6 weeks of practice a state team gets is worth something... Crosby makes my top 10. Idk about this year but next FBM should be the favorite to win state if they stay D2. Lovejoy seems ranked too high. Guess we will find out. Wonder how Texas High and Ennis bounce back. Region 4 probably comes down to Rouse and LH but I hope Tivy can make a run. Weird not seeing WF Rider in the top 10. How many does it say Aledo returns? I guess 5/5 but really we have a boatload of kids that played last season returning.

What do you mean by all-in?

Having said all that in my previous post, I'm pretty sure Lovejoy beats yall last year. Just my .02 cents. Several other teams give yall a very good game. So I wouldnt get too comfortable on that superiority trip. Plus, if we're all being honest, if LH gets a clean handoff they win. That kid would have scored standing up.
