Best second half team in the state, way to go Cubbies.....

[mfbarnes52]

The road to state starts on Hwy 105

[APanthers]

Wow that was a good game.

[BrenhamCubs]

hopefully that gives us some momentum into the playoffs!
Not the best we played but it got the job done

[ricko]

Good job by the Cubs, but that won't hold up against better teams.  The Cubs have to get started earlier, this was the first time they went the first half without points.

Stratford's not that bad of a team. They did win 5 straight coming into the game. They should make some noise in the playoffs. 

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

I think the Cubs thought Sparty wasnt gonna bring it tonight


wake up call before the road to state starts

[BrenhamCubs]

The bad thing is this did happen last year against waller, but we lost and that they were not near as good as the spartans were. But we won this game.

Wow, i must admit..Bless that we see the 2nd round Instead of Humble, we may see this Houston Stratford Team

[Hawkeye]

Wow! Glad I decided to go see this one. What a game! Two very good teams. Congrats to Brenham on the comeback win.

[WOSgrad]

It was a great game against a Stratford team that definitely came to play tonight.  It was good to meet some of the guys from the board out there.

[Guest ECBucFan]

Great game! Me & Mrs. ECBucFan agree it was worth the trip. Nice to meet you all!  :)

I still can't figure out why Stratford kept trying to run up the middle. Several drives stalled because they insisted on hammering straight ahead. All their success was running outside or passing the ball. Stratford's Oline was big and stout but Malcom Brown did a great job plugging up the middle.

Stratfords secondary is for real. I won't say they shut down Brenham's passing game, but they definitely slowed it way down. But they had no answer for Troy Green. That was the difference in this game. I think Stratford stopped Brenham on 1 3rd and short in the first half. But that was it. Great job by Brenhams offensive line tonight.

[DaBears]

I dont think either of these teams could hang with the Hill, cause they are for REAL.

[rollinac]

Good meeting all you guys as well.  Impressions from the game....Brenham laid an egg and somehow still won against a good team....that pretty much tells you all you need to know.

It was a pleasure guys.  Wish we could have played the whole game like we did the 4th quarter, but you know us.  I was impressed with Stratford.  They were on a mission and came up just short.  Maybe this will be a wake up call for us, like the Waller game was last year.  Good luck to everybody tomorrow!  Guys, we'll have to do this again.

They couldn't run the ball left or up the middle.  They did have quite a bit of success running right.  Brenham plays some aggressive defense and Stratford used that against them on the big screen pass early and the last drive.

Nice to meet you guys. Congrats to Brenham District Champs- also Brenham did not play that bad to me- Stratford stepped up and played that good. Now having their starting QB back and a speedy back, plus a decent D, they will not be an easy out in the playoffs.

WOS Grad,EC buc fan,Rollinac,RCole,Brenhamfan & I all sat together to see a great ballgame and I'll say this both teams played well and Stratford had there matchup in the endzone w/their tallest good wr w/some great catches tonight but the last pass for the win was underthrown and Brenham got the pic and the win.Early on I thought the Spartans couldn't match speed w/Brenham skill players.Brenham will face faster teams from now on.Malcolm Brown stops everything in the middle and Lawd Derek Edwards must have leaped 15 feet to grab a key reception.Thanks guys you were great company ;)

[liltex]

Dayton & Humble coaching staffs were @ this game ;)

The chronicle seems to discount everything we do until we are in the 3rd or 4th round of the playoffs. (You know, when most, if not all of their precious HISD schools are at home already.)
