purple reign

6th week scores: Angleton 80, Pasadena 0 Crosby 28, Friendswood 14 La Porte 42, Kingwood Park 6 Porter 10, Kempner 9 From the 1st 2 weeks of district, it doesn't appear Pasadena, Porter, or Kempner have much chance of making the playoffs. Crosby's impressive win makes them look like they are probably in and K Park's chances looking a little dim after they were beaten so badly. I still think Friendswood's chances are still pretty good despite the loss. I see they did slightly better against Ball than did highly regarded PA Memorial.

QB was #8, Mikey Butler. Had a brace or something on his right leg.

No. They could have forfeited, but they didn't.

Pasadena backs. They were doubled over multiple times each. Getting through their OL was like going through paper. Realignment didn't do them any favors; they were better off in 6A where they could play other Pasadena schools. They didn't try to return a kickoff until very late in the game, calling for a fair catch each time. Angleton had 5 backs who averaged double digits per carry with no back carrying more than 6 times.

$12 per game seems like a lot. Galveston has a streaming broadcast that's free [Hidden Content] It's not very good though. Their camera is in the press box and they take it through the glass which sometimes reflections can get in the way and the action seems far away. If you go, you will need to fork over $5 for parking in the grassy lot north of the stadium (that's what it was in 2018) unless you park on the street which in that part of town is not advised.

Preparing for Pasadena's offense last week will give Crosby a head start for preparing for Friendswood's offense. Why? They both run an RPO based spread attack. Angleton's coach mentioned this since Angleton faces Friendswood next week after Pasadena this week. Of course, Friendswood's players will be a lot bigger. Angleton's task against Friendswood next week will be made harder because of the revenge factor. Angleton has a 5 game win streak going against Friendswood including 49-14 last year. I assume Crosby will at the least will have 2 more wins against Porter and Kempner since they are currently ranked above them.

Crawford has a Rosharon address, but it's not located there but at the entrance of Sienna. It is the largest school in terms of area in Fort Bend ISD so you can see they are expecting a lot of growth. It was built to relieve crowding at Ridge Point and Hightower high schools.

With the teams all being off this week and about to start district play next week, I took a look at how Maxpreps ranked them in comparison to other 5AD1 teams and here is the result with state rank in parenthesis: Angleton 3-0 (23) La Porte 0-3 (31) Friendswood 1-2 (38) Kingwood Park 1-2 (52) Crosby 0-3 (56) NC Porter 1-2 (72) FB Kempner 3-0 (76) Pasadena 1-2 (112) You may or may not agree, but it sounds reasonable to me.

Foster hasn't been the same since HC Shaun McDowell left for Conroe Grand Oaks to be their coach. They were always one of the top teams in their district. They decided to go with long time assistant of his when he left, DC Hanks and so far it hasn't worked out. Funny thing is McDowell's son, Shaun Jr still plays for Foster as a DL. Does McDowell , Sr. commute every day the 60 miles to Grand Oaks HS?

Fulshear's emergence didn't affect Lamar Consolidated.

Angleton 7, Bay City 0 in the timed portion. BC ranked #9 in state in 4A-D1 on Maxpreps. After watching them, I have no reason to doubt that. Angleton's inexperienced OL looks like they will be OK.

I don't think anybody is surprised when Crosby has a good year. It's expected. It's when they have an off year, you're surprised.

Probably not much. Lufkin will take over Angleton's district schedule.

7A is not the cure all some people seem to think. I saw a mock realignment on some board for 7A and it was a joke, although I'm sure the author did the best he could. What I saw was some districts would have 9-10 members, others might just have 4 and awful travel. It's the same reason, 6A won't agree to pre split. The UIL opened a can of worms when they bought this up without doing an analysis including a mock realignment. You could say it's unfair to some scjools to play bigger schools, but you could also say it;s unfair for a 4 team district to send everybody to the playoffs while you are in a 10 team district that less than half qualify. The UIL said last summer that they would consider 7A when another 100 schools were added to the approximately 500 schools now in 5A and 6A without changing the bottom of 5A much. This could take decades.

This won't affect District 9, but UIL approved Spring Wood's appeal also to D10.

Angleton's and Lufkin's appeals are probably a package deal. They won't put them in the same district. Spring Woods also appealed to move to D10 with HISD schools mostly. As bad as they always are, they don't want to play a team with a pulse. Galveston Ball didn't appeal, so will stay in D9.

Angleton runs a spread and an agressive 4-2-5 defense. Schedule: wk1 Clear Lake wk2 Brazoswood wk3 Richmond Foster wk4 Houston Westside wk5 Beaumont United (home) Wk6 Beaumont Westbrook (away) wk7 bye wk8 Baytown Sterling (home) wk9 P.A. Memorial (away) wk10 Barbers Hill (home) wk11 Galveston Ball (away)

Friendswood after Angleton went up 21-0 seemed to change their defensive scheme to stopping the pass no matter what and it seemed to work to a degree, but just not good enough. Pretty good game with few penalties and only one turnover.
