With John Launius on staff at Sterling??? Not a chance Lee is better coached.

I just want to know if anyone truly cares

Depends on if they have a secret spring or not, who ever has the better atmospheric atmosphere, and which team has more physical speed….

Given GCCISD's reluctance to rebalance attendance, which is fine, I am not judging, it was inevitable. Lee was too small (kept opting up) and GCM has grown too much. I don't think its a negative overall. Its good to play where you belong. Good luck GCCISD.

It's only far to the school any school to play in a classification based on what your enrollment puts you in !!

Lee was the best Baytown team last year and with them dropping will see more success IMO. Lee might get a sniff of the playoffs this year 🤷‍♂️

Some people think that’s an advantage on the scoreboard… if you have better atmosphere it results in more wins…

[gary-us-bonds]

Lee should be about like they have been more or less the last four years.

Need to figure out the QB situation. Have 4 or 5 solid skill position guys that will all need to play both ways to some extent.

Have an offensive line with several two year starters. Couple of solid linebackers.

I have a feeling they will play Joseph at QB and be more of a run first team this year.

 

Sterling has a really good quarterback. I'll need to see it to believe it that they will have a better year than Lee though.

But I’ve been trying to get an answer for over 15 years now of what exactly atmosphere is.  🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️. Apparently it’s important.

REL finished their first season in 9-5A-2 with 6 wins and 4 losses.  5th in District. 

Sterling finished their season in 9-5A-1 with 3 wins and 7 losses, last place in District.

GCM finished their first season in 23-6A with 0 wins and 10 losses.  Last place in District and GCM HFC Daniel Ragsdale was fired after the end of the season.

Not really fair to compare overall record. Lee has a much easier district schedule. Sterling closed the gap a bit this year. I think Lee has a pretty good freshman group this year that will supplement things next year. Will need to replace the QB again though. I'd guess they will be right about where they have been the last half decade.

You know REL has the 5A-2 State Champ Richmond Randle in-District, right?  Plus Iowa Colony and Fort Bend Marshall AND Texas City to fight with over 4th place?  Not exactly an “easy” District.  
 

Where they’ve been the last half-decade, BTW, is a LOT better than RSS or GCM, regardless of schedule.  REL has beaten both handily the last 5 years straight.
 

Agreed with everything else you said, though, and I’ll add they’ve got some good kids coming up in their feeder Jr schools as well who are staying right where they are.  Looking at the prospective GCCISD rezoning maps it looks like both possible outcomes are going to be kind to REL as well.  Things are looking up over on Market St, especially with a HC who knows what he’s doing.

At the start of this season it was decided that 9-5A-2 wouldn’t be covered here.  I hope that next year the folks in charge decide otherwise.  It’s gonna be interesting…

I know. I was just trying to be fair. Lee has been way better but this year it was not quite the same mismatch with the other two Baytown teams as it has been. Good to hear that BJS and HMJ are bringing 8n some talent.

It’s still a pretty severe mismatch.  RSS and GCM are both total messes.  Remember that GCM was 1-9 the season before Coach Ragsdale was hired and he went 2-28 over 3 years before he got fired last week.  RSS is 15-45 since Coach Toomer was hired and they went 3-7 this year same as the last and were last in District this year only because GCM is no longer in-District with them to take that last place spot.  Compare that to Coach Finn’s record of 37-33 at REL since he was hired and until this last season REL/RSS/GCM were all in the same district.  I was at both the REL/RSS and REL/GCM games this season and in both Coach Finn went easy on them late in the game when the outcome was no longer in doubt.  The RSS game was a better one than the GCM game but neither were really as competitive as the box score would have one believe.

I get trying to go easy on RSS/GCM, BTW, and I get you trying to be fair to them.  No one I know likes seeing them down so bad.
