2020 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PREVIEWS

CROSBY COUGARS

2019 Record: 6-5 Overall, 5-2 District

Co-Runner Up in District 12-5A-II

 

The Crosby Cougars appeared to be continuing their dreadful 2018 season as they dropped the first three games of the 2019 season, including their first district contest.  But head coach Jerry Prieto and his Cougars turned things around, winning 5 of their last 6 regular season games and returning to the playoffs after a year's absence.  An experienced squad (seven starters on each side of the ball) return to improve on the Cougars' 2019 two week stay in the playoffs.

 

COACHING

Head Coach: Jerry Prieto

Assistant Coaches: Jackson Tar (Defensive Coordinator), Ronald Frick (Offensive Coordinator), Chris Royal (Wide Receivers), Joe Silva (Offensive Line), Earl Campbell (Running Backs), Kevin Fox (Outside Linebackers), Chuck McKeon (Inside Linebackers), Troy Fox (Defensive Line), Lucas Shields (Cornerbacks), Tim Rogers (Freshmen), Mattew Chalk (Freshmen)

 

OFFENSE

Seven starters return to the Crosby spread in 2020.  Senior quarterback Reggie Branch (2nd team all-district in 2019) returns to trigger the Cougar offense.  Senior running back Deniquez Dunn (2nd team all-district) will join him in the backfield.  Crosby returns an experienced receiver corp as returning seniors Micheal Ray, E'Monte Wilson, and Jaylen Herman will be joined by juniors Kameron Kirkwood and Zachquan Smith.  Senior guard Christian Sagategui and senior tackle Demetrius Strahan (2nd team all-district) will lead an offensive line which will also feature junior center Braden Wright.

 

DEFENSE

Seven starters return to the Cougar 3-4 defense in 2020.  Senior defensive end Wade Lewis and junior end McCoy Casey (2nd team all-district) will anchor things up front.  Senior outside linebackers Jamauri Johnson (1st team all-district) and Ray (2nd team all-district) will team with returning senior linebacker Coby Riendeau and senior Trevon King to form a stout corp.  Senior safety Sir Hill and senior cornerback Jaden Fields will lead the Crosby secondary.

 

SPECIAL TEAMS

Junior Trevor Helburg will do the place kicking for Cosby while Dunn (2nd team all-district) will handle the punting.  Wilson will be the primary kick returner.

Seems like the good/great programs in the area definitely not shying away from competition as far as non-district is concerned for 2020 and 2021.

That's always a good thing for the area. Better you play, better you become.

You’re right about that.   I think, with 14 returning starters, the Cougars May be a handful.   At least they were smart enough to not schedule Vidor.  😂😂😂

 

Just joking Cougar fans.  Chill.  😂

I'm praying for a football season this season delayed or not. And when it does resume I'll be in attendance to watch Code Red 🔴 rule the Titans.
