Bi district LCM vs Stafford

[Tiger33]

First and foremost I want to say good luck to Bridge City, Huffman and Lumberton in the playoffs.LCM squares off with Stafford Friday in Channelview. If LCM can’t put more than 14 points in the game it will be season ender.

Depends on Crouch if he makes any adjustments or the OC play calling 

[CardinalBacker]

I don’t know much about ‘em.... we had a couple of games with them around ‘11 and they were terrible. So bad that one of their kids got handcuffed for trying to fight his own team. 
But they also beat us in the third round in 2016, so I don’t know. 
Good luck to LiCK’eM.

Hmmm I get off work at 3 might try and go to this if our volleyball doesn’t end up still playing 

[SmashMouth]

Let’s go Bears. Hope y’all show Channelview how good your QB can really be. Good luck and hopes for a safe game!

[NetCat]

Go Bears! 

[marshman]

Good luck Bears. Think you can win this one.

I like Crouch, but he coaches not to lose. If LCM gets down by two scores, it a wrap because he'll call plays to minimize the damage instead of taking the chances needed to get back in the game.

That Henderson game a few years ago frustrated me to no end. Not to say that LCM could have come back and won, but his play calling killed any chance of making it interesting.

That said, this is probably the best stretch of Bear football since he was on David Williams staff in the 90s. They get to the playoffs somewhat consistently and win every now and then. 

I wish I could say the same up here in my adopted hometown. Go Bears!

Crouch hasn’t been calling the plays on offense. He actually has been adjusting our defense the last 2 weeks. Our wing T specialist OC has been calling plays. If things don’t change I’ll have a adopted town too.

As head coach, you're responsible for what gets called. At anytime, he can overrule a playcall.

The coordinator takes his cues and actions based on his boss's philosophy.  The coordinator is doing what the coach wants

Your argument doesn't absolve Crouch from being conservative when the situation calls for boldness. That's just who he is. And that's not a problem except for a few plays on a few Fridays in the fall.

That said, he's winning games, he's been in the LCM family for a long time and the Bears could do worse, and have, with coaching.

One could make the argument they're not getting their money's worth if you want to compare salaries with the outstanding gentleman across town (I hate they publicize teacher salaries, they're doing the Lord's work and and are severely underpaid and unless they're making more than 100k, then it should be public information, but that's another gripe. I consider coaches to be teachers, even the athletic director that just coaches football because he's teaching life lessons), but goal is to get to the playoffs and he does that. Why y'all want to run him off every other year, I don't understand it. 

You could be like me, going to basketball scrimmages to play against schools without football teams that are in basketball shape while we haven't had a good practice.

Well he hasn’t wore a headset all year to know what play is gonna be called. I think he’s a good guy but lacks leadership. I won’t blast him on here over his leadership issues that im aware of.Trust me WOS was happy to see him leave,  I’m happy to see someone Is for the guy because I know there are a lot of unhappy folks in Little Cypress.

That's only because they're putting 4 teams in instead of 3 like it used to be.

Yep some people thinks it okay to make a bi district and be a 5-5 program on consistent basis. He has one 7-3 season team that’s been about it

Losing the Lumberton game was bad and cost a chance at an easier path to the area round. That kind of result is extremely frustrating.

But he seems to get the team to the playoffs. And outside of Livingston and Splendora, everyone you played this year made the playoffs. It was a good schedule.

It has been worse on Bear Path. They will never be WOS. But they should be competitive every year. And from the looks of it now, they are. All it takes is a win or two in the playoffs to change the perception of the season.

“They will never be WOS.“

They could be. Wouldn’t be easy, wouldn’t be quick, but I refuse to place limits on anything because of perception.

WOS has tradition of winning. The BearE97 is happy with mediocre LCM football because LCM has been WOS little brother. We have a winning record against everyone else in Orange County. I agree LCM could be more competitive. Some years we don’t have the talent that WOS does but we could be a lot better. Few years ago I posted the reason why our HC still is working at LCM is because of the past superintendent. It was said that as long as LCM make a bi district playoff appearance in football the perception would look good. A bi district playoff game imo is nothing to me. 3 to 4 rounds a consistent basis is a good program. I just have more expectations for the staff and kids. Here is a list of reasons LCM struggles:

#1 PARENTS...... we have some participation trophy parents. They don’t support the program and lean to the band program. They don’t motivate their kids to play or send them to camps. Get the  kids in the weight room  And off of video games. I could go on but everyone gets it.

 

#2  talent. Some years we are up and down. We are not blessed like a power house teamp. But the kids need a taste of winning and get some tradition started. Hit the gym!

#3 Coaching. A topic where everyone you ask has a different opinion. I’ll say this LCM has had good coaches but if the kids don’t believe in the coaches it’s hard to win and buy into the program. Winning coaches are more successful because of this.

BOJO! I heard Moody was a good guy just not a good coach. I would like to see LCM have little more success in football.

I think with brister now in charge we'll be in a lot better shape. Shes super competitive and wants to win... mediocre wont cut it long.... Im hoping once bickham leaves they give hunter Gonzales the reigns calling the offense.

Well if Crouch retires and they hire new HC  might bring his own people in. But I agree Brister is a lot better than Polly.
