Crosby vs Aledo

[purpleeagle]

Aledo wins by 21. Pulling for Crosby but Aledo will be to much for Crosby. Hope I am wrong.

[D3zii]

Everyone keeps talking about the coaching like Aledo doesnt have athletes to go with that...2021 #10 player in Texas (Early) Bama commit,  2022 #13 player in Texas (Allen Jr) LSU commit. They have athletes as well as coaching..

But anything can happen between the lines, Pulling for you Crosby. It will be tough but all you can do is go out there, give it your all and let the chips fall where they may.  Win or lose the season has been a thrill

Let me start by saying congrats to Crosby on making yalls 2nd state final! Yall have had a very impressive playoff run. Good luck on Friday!

Who you got? Going to state is a literal expectation at Aledo. Anything short of that is a complete disappointment.

I disagree that anything short of state is a complete disappointment. Yes the standard is high but I feel like we are realistic as well.

Rings or not I think we had/have a better chance against Aledo than we did against Liberty Hill. Conventional spread team we’ve been playing excellently against every game since Montgomery.
 

Remember what we said about FBM not being the same FBM as years past? Same thing can be said for this version of Aledo. They’re probably even more gettable this year than the squad that lost to College Station in ‘17. 

I disagree that this team is more "gettable" than 2017. We had several sophomores in key positions that were running the team. This year more experienced players are in those positions. Our defense in 2017 was much better though.

Fort Bend Marshall’s coach is pretty elite. Five consecutive regional final appearances, back to back state finals appearances, 51-7 overall record the last four years. He played Aledo better on his second try, 45-42, last year in the title game. FBM has probably been the second best spread team in D2 the last few years and Crosby held them to 28. Same round Aledo struggled to hold Lovejoy under 50. 

That LJ offense might be the best in 5A. They were really good.

They just need to look past the hype of Aledo. Just play the game. Play smart, disciplined football and they can take this. You only have one shot for such a moment. Don’t let the moment get too big. The talent is there. 

Hype?

As far as playoffs, it appears that Crosby had the toughest road to this point. 

[AledoAlumni]

I do wish #2 was 100% for yall. That dude is electric. I'm sure he will still be able to make our D-line miss on the pass rush but when yalls QB is good he is fun to watch. #1 can obviously take it to the house from anywhere on the field so Aledo will have to always keep an eye on him. Also we cant let #13 and #12 (I think) run past our DBs and give yall big gains. I think this game will be determinded how well Aledo can prevent Crosby from having big plays. If we can somewhat keep yall in check then that will go a lot way to #10.

I dont think anyone from any classification has had a more difficult road. If they have I havent seen it.

Just solely looking at Crosby beating state ranked opponents in FB Marshall and Huntsville.  Those were huge wins for that up and coming program. I was thoroughly impressed.  Now I haven’t did much research on Aledo’s path to this point.  Feel free to share that information.

Same thing I was thinking as an outsider looking in, They beat two undefeated and 3 state ranked teams.

Anything specific you were wondering about?

And how would you compare this Aledo team to ones in the past??

[Eazy]

I think Aledo’s last 3 opponents were ranked, below them of course.

Aledo by at least two tds 

I hope you are wrong. That’s the same advantage you gave Liberty Hill, and I hope for the same results.

I'd say our passing game is not as developed and our defense is not as physical.
