I always find it funny how Coaches that have a winning history talk about how they don't have many "Players/Athletes". That it is all the program.... If they were doing well in just one sport I would agree but don't let him fool you.... they got DUDES!!! In the last 2 years basketball went 62-15 (Reg quarter-finalist/ State runner up) and baseball 43 - 7 (season cut short.. ranked #2, and Regional Finalist) with out having Athletes... sorry don't buy it... sounds great in a interview though..

Yes. She did that. And she was wrong. But in the midst of the Debacle at the Capitol in DC, Trump spoke more of how he was wronged instead of immediately and harshly condemning the violence. He acted no better than her. I’m a Trump supporter, and I can freely say that he was wrong for what he did and did not do. Quit pointing fingers and start looking in the mirror folks. It’ll do ALL of us some good. Both sides need a lot of fixing.

I’m gonna play nice. Lol.

Nederland will not beat BU unless they can, 1. Break a press 2. grow 6 inches at each position..

Lumberton basketball isn’t the same in previous years, these guys play really hard, they are well coached.

Why disrespect the Raider basketball boys? They are playing some good basketball and could very well win tonight

It seems computer class at Nederland HS is in session.

Agree, It is very hard to beat Coach English twice he's beat ozen plenty of times after getting blown out. I think he has something up his sleeve for the next game.

I use to lean left lean right now I’m embarrassed with both.

If I’m sitting some betting odds in Vegas, here’s my thoughts (Disclaimer: this post for mature audiences who have more sense than to take my advice, lol. Post is for entertainment purposes only since picking my nose is difficult [Dam hair]). I’d pick Crosby by 5. LH has to score almost every time they get the ball, because Crosby will. Can’t see LH stopping Crosby, except by turnovers, or several big penalties. Crosby has had trouble with the Slot T in the past, but new DC, and great team, so who knows now? These Panthers run that Offense very, very well. My guess, they’ll still have problems. Discipline is the key to stopping it, and Crosby just can’t stay at home. Since I don’t see LH stopping Crosby, & think it’s unlikely Crosby will be able to stop LH often, I’m sitting the Over/Under at 105. Finally, hope - everyone has a safe trip - no player injuries - and great referees. Anticipate this game being a good one to watch. Anyone know if game is on radio? If so, what station? Go Cougars!

Not good. Supply and demand will rule. We already have more college graduates than jobs. It’s just going to create an even more miserable situation for all. You’ll have 100 degreed candidates applying for one or two job opportunities, and by definition employees can pay a even smaller salary because of the glut of graduates. Not to mention the increased tax burden that the rest of us will share, regardless of our education level. The argument goes “college grads make more money” and it’s often true. However, it’s also a function of the mindset and work ethic that achieve that distinction. A young person who is intelligent, self-disciplined, responsible, and motivated enough to work through a degree plan would be expected to achieve greater things. You can’t just hand people a degree and expect them to meet those same levels of success. Comparison. “People who religiously pay their tithes are blessed financially” they also say. It’s true... most people that I know who honor that commitment to their church DO seem to do really well. However, could their good fortune also be explained by their self discipline in regards to tithing also be reflected in ALL of their financial decisions? Their conservatism would also be exhibited in better financial decisions in regard to purchases, financial decisions, and saving as well? I’ll bet there’s a correlation. Nobody likes the idea that some kids go to college and some kids can’t. Life choices have consequences. It’s not a kid’s fault that his parents made bad decisions, but it’s not my place to make up for their shortcoming because I’ve been steadfast with my decision making.

Pullin for y’all Crosby boys. Good luck!

Too much speed in Dunn,Branch,Herman & Wilson.Crosby 42 - 28. Go Cougs !

Every day you live is another day closer to your death. America has an expiration date. We’re just trying to postpone it as long as we can. Every great civilization falls victim to “progress,” and I’m afraid that we are speeding up that decline. It amazes me that the left can’t realize that what they are proposing is unsustainable. Eventually you’ll run out of other peoples’ money. We can’t afford to feed, clothe, house, educate, provide healthcare, and give a free cellphone to 7.5 billion people just by “making the rich pay their fair share.” Oh, I left out “pay reparations” and provide “environmental equality” whatever that means. “Corporate greed” they all cry. But when you raise taxes on businesses, they don’t just soak up those costs, they pass them onto their customers regardless if they make more or less than $400k per year. When corporations lose money, their stock prices plummet, which suddenly destroys that 401k that is heavily invested in stocks. Regardless of your income, btw. We can’t keep scratching stimulus checks and unemployment bonuses for everybody... it’s just not viable. Eventually people here will know hunger. Its inevitable.

The game is tomorrow night. We do have a schedule thread pinned at the top of the forum. smh

What a great feeling when that semi-final game is over and your team is headed to state. Wishing all Crosby players and fans have that feeling tomorrow night.

I dont post much, but I have read this several times in this thread and want to clarify, Army and Navy run the flexbone not the Slot-T. These two offenses are very different from one another, while you can do similar things out of both, the essence of Slot-T is a power run game; where as with the flexbone the primary factor is the option game. Just wanted to clear that up.

A truly sad day. The checks and balances have been taken away. The liberals have seized control of the Senate, the House, the presidency and they already have control of the Supreme Court. They now have free run to pass laws, appoint judges and set up more anti-Christian platforms. BLM and Antifa have carte-blanche with a ready-made host. Anti-Cop rhetoric will be even worse (if that’s possible) under this trifecta of criminally-sympathetic “politicians”. I’m glad I live where I live because we will just duck and cover. The gloom being felt across half the country is palpable. The only bright spot that we must cling to is the battle has been won. God sits on the throne and we are only strangers in this life passing through.

Will be watching on Texan Live! (Wearing purple) Coogs got this! 12-5a going to STATE!!!!

Somebody direct those kids to the politics board....

You can have the best strength coach in America but if the kids don’t dedicate themselves to working out during school and off season it won’t matter. I honestly hope they do improve.

Wish Coach Reyes luck in his new endeavors. Hopefully he'll get his staff together and spend some quality time with the middle school program since they will be moving right next to the high school. Hire a strength and conditioning coach. He has a good freshman and sophomore group to work with.

I wouldn't go that far.. However, this may be the best chance the Raiders will have to beat the Tigers in quite some time.

Wow where does this come from??

Yes, and this BU team is no where near as good as most of the ozen teams!

Gotcha. Makes sense. Either the town/administration will understand that and give him time to develop his system. Or he'll understand he doesn't have that luxury and will run an offense that will work with his players. Best of luck to him and Lumberton.

Yes, tickets will be sold at the door

Welcome to SETX, Coach Reyes.

When it comes to the talent level we are playing against this team is less talented than the previous 3, especially on defense. I want to see Dunn healthy but honestly Branch might go for 350 in this one... on the ground. It's a style game and basically if Crosby defense can figure out that Slot-T then Crosby should win. If they don't then it's a shootout and last team with ball may very well win.

Looking forward to this game! I’m 100% Silsbee, but I’m a huge fan of McClure as well. This is going to be a battle. I believe that Silsbee has the better team but McClure is big time. Lumberton has a couple kids that can hit open shots in the corner so if Lumberton can handle the pressure, I can see them making it a game. Plus they have a kid or two that are big football boys that bang inside. Miller and Harris are big time as well, so we will see what happens. I do not see it being more than a 8 point game and I do not see it being a high scoring game.

Good luck Crosby 🏈🏈!!

Give the guy a shot. It could have been worst. Y’all could have gotten Moody. Do you know any other applicants that applied? Send me a message if you of any

Gamesday! Let's Go, eat em up Coogs!!! It should be extra loud on the coogs side with all the cowbells that fella made this week, man those suckers are loud!

Not only do they have a head coach that was fired for being drunk on the job, they have also addedA DL coach that received a 2 year show cause penalty for recruiting violationsAn OL coach that was fined $50k and suspended 3 games for contacting a players professor about his gradesWhat other upstanding citizens will they add next?

One example is how companies with unsafe working conditions continue to require their workers come to work.

5Dimes has Crosby -1... I may or may not have placed a large wager on the Coogs. 😂

In the political forum, someone mentioned a current regression of our society. Reminded me of a movie...

I said insurrection worked for the Radical Left Movement and you just said When did Democrats attempt an insurrection? So you think Democrats are the Radical Left? Freudian Slip??? 😳 LMAO!!!! You can’t make this stuff up folks.

I think everyone knew/knows how good BU is. I think the hard pill to swallow is admitting Nederland was overhyped. They graduated 9 kids or something last year, one playing at A&M (playing solid minutes) this year. They lost all of their speed and ball handlers. They have a player in Jackson and a streaky shooter in Gipson. And then a bunch of average players. Probably finish 3-4 place in district. BU is talented and will make a run at the title but glaring point from this game is Ned being exposed as average team. Nice wins over WB and an odd game for HJ, that’s about it.

Just received my quarterly retirement savings account statement, and it had probably the best quarter ever. Thank you President Trump!!!! I’m sure this new regime, voted in by the braindead, will make that completely vanish. They think no one, but themselves, should be able to amass any wealth. It will be used to distribute to the lazy asses that want to suck off of the government’s teat. It’s to late America, the socialist party is here!! Hope the braindead enjoy!!!!

Funny how antifa doesn’t exist, even though they burn and loot businesses while cops and politicians do absolutely nothing, but right extremism is real and deserves to have their unarmed females shot and killed. The left and fence walkers will let this slide.

Ummm.... yeah, but no. Obama bad what was supposedly the most liberal voting record during his short time in the Senate. It got a lot less serious once the Rs took the House in ‘10. My opinion is that Biden isn’t nearly as liberal as Obama. What makes me nervous is the likelihood that he won’t finish his term and we’ll have Harris/Pelosi pres/vp from California... and if you like what Ds have done in California, great... because it’ll be coming to you soon. Higher taxes, ridiculous environmental regulations, neutered law enforcement, restrictive gun laws, and a determinedly anti-Christian bias... because that’s exactly what they’ve done with CA.

There's an easy formula for frustrating and beating Silsbee this year. Simply get a lead (any kind of lead) then slow the game down and run your half court offense. Only take good shots or attempt lay ups. Take a good minute off the clock each time if you really want to frustrate some Tigers. Run all of this through McClure, and maybe the Raiders will pull this one out. Sounds simple enough in theory. Whether or not Lumberton has the personnel to pull this off remains to be seen. We start two freshman and two sophomores, so we are very young. We also have a lot of improving to do. I hope we approach this game like it's a win or go home playoff game Friday night.

We gotta stop doing that. LOL!

SETXsports (me) will be broadcasting this game.

Agreed, This is quote from Liberty Hill Coach Jerry Vance who started using the slot-t in the mid 2000’s who won a couple of State Championships. “We don’t have great big kids. There isn’t a lot of 4.4-speed at Liberty Hill,” Vance said. “What we do lends itself to the average high school kid. It’s not about being bigger or taller or even faster. What we do is about execution. We do what works for us.” And if that sounds like a complaint, it isn’t. “I’d struggle to coach the elite kids. I do better with the workmanlike football player with us running an unselfish system on offense and defense. We don’t need a back to carry the ball 30 times for us to win a game,” Vance said. “If we’re willing to work hard, we’ll be successful. It isn’t about the individual. It never has been. That’s why we win.” Liberty Hill was the perfect fit — a workman-like rural town on Highway 281 between Georgetown and Burnet. The Panthers suffered through a long-spell of losing before Vance’s arrival from a previous stop as a coordinator at San Marcos High School. “I’m not a rah-rah guy. If I need to get you excited for a game, you’re doing the wrong thing. We don’t have 1,000 jersey combinations or anything like that,” Vance said. “Liberty Hill ended up being the perfect place for me, as a coach and for my family. It felt like the right fit when we took the job and it ended up being the perfect situation. I was fortunate, no doubt about it.”

I’ll say Liberty Hill will be playing there heart out for there Head Coach that past away last month. I think it will be a hard fought game and Crosby should win the 2nd half

Well, it would’ve taken a shootout to beat Manvel earlier this year but unfortunately Crosby was still cleaning their gun. Our shootout with Montgomery was due to their passing game which is why I didn’t want to play Pioneer. I’m not really getting the shootout feeing here though. I think Crosby is going to get some stops and put LH into an unfamiliar position the same way we’ve done the last three weeks with our other state ranked opponents. I’ve never seen this level of defense consistently played by a Crosby squad, that includes the ‘14 and ‘15 teams too.

Unlikely
