[quote name="dontknowjack" post="1131029" timestamp="1322325792"] [/quote]chase thier baseball dreams ...really...i cant recall a good baseball team from Crosby in a while...in fact i cant recall a real playoff contender from 19-4-A since 2008? and that wasnt Crosby....Kids drop out over there because they are in trouble or cant make passing grades same as in the baseball squad your baseball coach wouldnt put up with the brat pack and he was in hot water with the school board over that as well..and the school board re-instated kids that he booted. Flannagan is gone becuase he counldnt win a playoff game or rumor has it he was forced to resine during a pre-season argument with some racial racebaiting from the School board? Either way Crosby has issues like most schools with color, grades, troulble or a school board that wants to drive the bus? [/quote] Crosby had a player drafted second round by the Toronto Blue Jays. We have another pitching prospect who has a chance to do something similar, they may not win all that much but Crosby's baseball players do a ton of work and play year round. We have very very talented baseball players at Crosby.

I've been hearing this decision will not be made because they are waiting on a coach to finish his playoff Run. (I was not informed which coach that is)

[/quote] It's not being mean to the BDawgs, I'm just honestly more impressed with Vidors wins over Crosby/Montgomery then yours over GCM/Stratford, and Ozen has beat 2 District champions already with Brenham/BH. Not saying Bulldogs aren't really really good, just more impressed with Ozen/Vidor. [/quote] I would expect that thought, everyone wants to see a offense score 40 or more points before they are impressed. But when you run up against a defense that shuts your high powered offense down then your in trouble. Good defenses don't make a lot of headlines but they win games. [/quote] Really its not about that, more so in that i don't think you've played a really quality opponent yet. If you beat Dawson 3-0 i'll be just as impressed as if you beat them 42-28, because i think highly of Dawson.

[quote name="puddleofmudd" post="1127533" timestamp="1321987455"] Coach Kay at North Shore would be a great hire, I wouldnt be sure if he would leave the Mustangs, But if he did, Crosby would be a power house. That man knows defense [/quote] I'd love to see Kay come as well, the school board is under extreme pressure right now i doubt many of them keep there jobs come next election. Crosby has a lot of talent, never said anything about a ton of d1 talent, but they do have talent. The Twins aren't gone by any stretch of the imagination, from what i'm hearing. Not to mention the Sophomore class this year is loaded.  Crosby doesn't exactly have a shortage of talented players. @Joe Bob i expect another spread offense, as that's what your best two players have ran there whole lives. As for Barrett Issue... FFS leave it alone we get it the schoolboard is retarded, but they doesn't take anything away from the people who live, work and raise families in Crosby.

o btw Manvel has 2 D1 DE's they are absolute monsters, good luck to the Broncos, they will drop 8 and rush with 3 and get to your QB.

Just playing devils Advocate. "The players were allowed to participate in the team's first state playoff game after the charges were levied." So are you guilty of a crime if someone says you did it, and your charged with a crime? If so and you believe this give me your name and number and i'll say you punched me at a bar at 5:13 PM in the bathroom alone... Should you lose your job over it?

[quote name="CHSJAGS1999" post="1126472" timestamp="1321901466"] FYI: Central played at this stadium (Deer Park) a few years ago; I believe the playoff game Central vs Barbers Hill. If memory serves me correctly, they charged for parking. So have a couple dollars available for parking; If they even charge anymore? [/quote] 3 years ago, they did not Crosby Vs. Dawson had no parking fees. I don't believe they are allowed to do that anymore. 

I'll be there in Red, if Dayton wins this game i guess you answered the question of how good your coach is.

[quote name="VPATH" post="1126503" timestamp="1321903571"] Could it be that Brenham was [b]NOT[/b] overrated, but rather they just ran into a really talented Ozen team that is hitting their stride at the right time! Good job Ozen! [/quote] This is my view point, i think ozen played out of their minds, and went and beat a very good Brenham team. Vidor beat Montgomery, all it tells me is 20-4a is EXTREMELY good and EXTREMELY deep this year.

You guys are playing amazing in the Playoffs. Is it bad that i think 20-4a district champs might be the 3rd best team in 20-4a?

Crosby will hire a decent coach be sure of it.

See the only reason i think Crosby is an attractive job, is because of the sheer amount of Talent in that school. Nederland is very well coached, but tbh the reason Crosby beat them in the past is the athletes. Also no one knows what the $ signs look like on this one, Flannigan wasn't paid to much 75k? But i could see that number increasing. I expect it to be the DC from North Shore, he fits the profile of what "seems" to be wanted. i.e. A coach who has coached a predominantly black team, has a pedigree, and is a defensive minded coach. Also i'd expect you can pay him comparable money you paid Flannigan. I doubt Gage, but i wouldn't put it past him. He would love to have a bunch of athletes to run that offense.

Is mont still in their 3-3-5? or have the buckled into a 5-3-3?

[quote name="incognito123" post="1120745" timestamp="1321504355"] Larry Haynes?  I know he is wanting out of Hardin! [/quote] I highly doubt this.

Is it bad that i  agree with about 85% of what has been said about this situation...

[quote name="coug4ever" post="1120515" timestamp="1321486724"] The Crosby superintendent is a football guy. He won a national championship at the school he played, so I'm guessing it'll be a coach from where came from. But we see........ [/quote] See i was wondering if this was just another way to bring his network in there.

Guys Flanigan was basically givern the option of staying as a non-head coach or leaving he choose to leave. No firing was placed in the mix. Regardless telling ur AD we don't want you to be the head coach is as close to firing as possible. But officially it was a resignation.

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="1118546" timestamp="1321359567"] I do not wish to take away from your post are the point are very valid.  However, I, too, wonder that if the matchups had favored 19-4A and the bi-district play showed 19-4A to be 3-1 if this thread would have ever been started. [/quote] Honestly WOS, prolly not but that's just because the side of the fence i'm on. However if it would have been Nederland/PNG had both lost i guarantee you you'd see similar stuff, not this because i have a point.  FYI I have nothing but respect for Vidor, they are the best defense Crosby has played this year (Minus Dawson), and they executed perfectly all night. I said that Crosby' weakness was a big pounding offense, and BH's was speed. Vidor's biggest weakness would be a large front 7, because that would be able to stop them (Nederland.) Bh can't handle speed at all it looks like hints they lose. It's whatever but i'm just pointing out that the matchups do matter more than the districts. Vidor is a better team than Crosby Ozen is a better team than BH however that doesn't mean PNG/Nederland are better teams than either. BH beat nederland who went undefeated in district? does that mean they're better than 20-4a? Absolutely not.

The biggest problem is we have 2 communities represented, and there is relatively even representation between those two regions, and they have distinctively different views on things like athletic entitlement.

[quote name="cougar14" post="1118603" timestamp="1321364997"] I understand the seemingly sudden resignation of Coach Flannigan may shock some. What's even more shocking is the ineptitude with which he and his staff meander through the season and try to mitigate ridiculous losses with a playoff run that lasts a couple of weeks. There's no hidden story or failure to play someone's child behind his dismissal. It's the 33-32 loss to baytown lee after being up 10 points late in the fourth, the continous shortcomings with heated rival dayton who often has less talent but superior coaching, and the most stomach churning which is losing to vidor who runs a pop warner offense with players who wouldn't even start at crosby. I think what sums it up is the 49-7 2009 home playoff loss to dayton in which the post-game hand shake heard jerry stewart tell kevin flannigan, "If I had your team I would win it all." You have to remember, Haynes did more with less. It's about winning over here, and not just winning district games. There should be a conserted effort to win them all, and undoubtedly the school board feels the same way most of us do. Overall flannigan is a good person and decent leader of young men. . . . He's just not the coach for crosby. [/quote] I have no clue who you are but this was a 100% political decision with the exact words of the board member being something like "he couldn't connect with Barrett" Vidor fans have nothing on my hatred for our school board. Hopefully we get a Sumlin type, but i doubt it. If the Walter twins leave i bet its further west not east. Kingwood, or Woodlands would be my guess, hopefully these kids stay because we love to watch them here in Crosby. Crosby School Board is the largest hindrance to Crosby Athletics.

didn't they give up 0 points? how are you overrated if you give up 0 points.

[quote name="BrenhamFan" post="1118513" timestamp="1321337560"] [quote author=ice74 link=topic=91404.msg1118511#msg1118511 date=1321337119] [quote author=BrenhamFan link=topic=91404.msg1118508#msg1118508 date=1321336553] [quote author=Monkeynuts link=topic=91404.msg1118507#msg1118507 date=1321336066] Don't feel bad Brenham fan its a 17-4A thing. Any outsider input seems to upset the natives. I think the most - karma might be a good thing cause you probably hit on something +. [/quote] No wonder mine has gone up so high.  It's gone up almost 30 in 3 weeks. [/quote] Do you have a brenham site, so I can draw negativity there? [/quote] No, sorry we sure don't.  That's why I'm here.  I enjoy sports, and I find this site very interesting/entertaining.  Sorry if you don't care for my post, but I'm always going to say how I feel.  This is friendly smack, mixed with sports....  I love it! [/quote] Yeah but your normally right. Brenham should have 0 problem with Ozen, you guys have the athletes to keep up with them, no question.

This has been bothering me. Ozen beating BH doesn't make your district better than anyone elses. Ozen is a horrible match-up for BH because BH lacks speed at the corner and safety position. They have an ok d line, very good line backers and a poor secondary. BH lined up and beat nederland, but BH's weakness is speed. Vidor beat Crosby because they used a size and power running game to pound the rock. The cougars would have much rather played Nederland, PNG, Ozen because those teams don't line the ball up and smash you over the head. However BH is far better equipped to handle a team like Vidor because they play a similar style of football. BH will lose to very fast teams as their 2 losses show. (Crosby, Ozen) Probably the fastest 2 teams in our two districts. this also explains why PNG plays well vs BH. 2 reasons 1. They play Vidor every season so they see that offense. 2. They are actually more atheltic than BH and can throw the ball effectively against them. That is all. 3-1 for 20-4a and in all 3 wins your teams the match-up favored that team.

so i heard bh lost, and Dayton won... peaking at the right time i guess =p.
