I don’t think Willis and Abseck have the warmest of relationships dating back to their time at Cedar Park.

Factually LaPorte had the #1 seed and drew a 4th seed. Remember how ecstatic you were last year after beating half of the BH team as y'all elatedly cruised to the number one seed? Yes BH did implode in the 2nd half of the 2nd round game, but perhaps you noticed BH was alone IN the 2nd round. No spin there, just a fact.

I like the district a lot better with Angleton in it, they bring some physicality and plus level athletes I think the district is missing overall. I think they're pretty comparable physically to the College Station schools Crosby could see in bi-district if we can make the playoffs. I also now have an excuse to go fight the mosquitoes in Lake Jackson to see if I can break 80 at The Wilderness, so thank you UIL.

Angleton, La Porte and Friendswood likely be the DCTHSF pick for top three in district. It's a put up or shut up year for my cougars no way around it. You got your excuse year as a coach, didn't get to hire your people, didn't have an off season, didn't have a spring. Now you've had it all, we either execute and play well or we don't and ultimately that's the challenge for everyone at Crosby.

So La Porte is preseason #15. But DCTF must have a misprint, they have LP picked 5th in district and Crosby 1st.

Does seem like a mismatch. LP returns quite a bit. I don’t have the magazine. But, district looks to be in alphabetical order based on what you’ve typed here…

Barring something really unforeseen, I don’t see La Porte missing the PO’s.

This is the hidden content, please

Article about Angleton. 

Good article. La Porte returns similar. With the coaching ties between the schools, should be a good battle. Do you have a link to La Porte’s 2024 outlook?

Crosby has too much talent to not get off the floor, think the old coach might pull some magic out of a hat, just saying the cougars might surprise some people this year. 

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.

I think the coach is what is holding them back. We will see.

We had a lot of talent last year and it looked like we didn't have any. Still running a scheme that relies heavily on great offensive line play vs the speed and angles schemes under Rio and Prieto. This year we have some of the best back 7 talent on defense since the Pickney and Perry days but the scheme is so complicated that I wouldn't be surprised to see the thought process paralyze some of their play-making ability for a second consecutive year. My fingers are crossed that coach Williams gets to exert more of his influence on that side of that ball this year. Really loving the impact that the DB coach from North Shore has had to this point also, looks like a totally different unit back there. 

Offensively is where I'm the most worried. Yarbrough isn't really the between the tackles runners we've used to keep defenses honest in past years and Willis likes to hammer it in there whether it's working or not. I think we can supplement that by giving the Walter-like sophomore carries at the B-back position but didn't see a lot of that in the Spring. One positive is that T'Zion Fontenot moved back from Las Vegas this Summer and looks to be in good position to lock down his cousin's old spot at the A-back once he learns the offense. That gives us three high-quality play-makers out of the backfield if we can keep everybody healthy. 

On paper we look good, but we looked good both physically and on paper last year too and won two games. I'm hoping another year in the system was all the kids needed to play up to their ability because if we struggle again this season I think the supt. will be under even more heat than she was last year.

      Orangefield 65 Livingston 83/FINAL

      Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McNeese this Friday night at 6pm.

      I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
