Not the season we wanted losing some core position players next year. Will need new wide receivers, Eudy gets a year with the snaps, two very promising running backs return. It will all be for nothing if those offensive and defensive lineman don't drill and hit the weight room hard this spring and summer. We won't have the advantage of a bunch of extra practices but we get to start lifting heavy earlier which should help the trenches as they very clearly need to get stronger and faster to compete in 5AD1. We will have a star linebacker next year hopefully that can help us, but it's so much that needs to be worked on. Good luck young men hope you really stick to the program this offseason and trust your coaches because they can get you where you want to be. I'm hopeful next season can be a really good year, I've also heard the pipeline is quite full right now at the Freshman/Sophomore level.

Which PAM shows up? The one with no defense or the team that looked like they could be a top 10 team... Can we get one game where PAM's defense and offense show up?

Good Season BH.

Was this a 2-3 match up?

TBF Theres only one game I'll pick against the Lobos and that's when they play Crosby. I don't understand the fans on boards that claim to love their school and then have 0 faith when they play a better team.

Good season Crosby, Lobos defense is stellar and we couldn't match them in trenches.

Turnover on downs.

Timeout Crosby Driving :48 left in half on 25

Lobos got away with one there. Tackling dudes out of breaks without calls...

4th down stop for Crosby...

!!14-15-2

Crosby got a stripey call to help on the 4th down fake.

That's a bad helmet lead call on the 4th down.

so many low snaps and ball mishandles...

Not according to UIL.

Depends on a lot of factors. If deemed to have moved for athletic purposes the student tends to be ineligible for a single year. Typically for it to not be considered athletics purposes there needs to be a life event change like job that required moving or clear quality of life improvement for the student. Also, Divorces and custody can sometimes play a role. Also, children of teacher can move to any district that their parent currently teaches at. However, the district committee determines eligibility initially. If a player transfers from school A to school B, the school file all their paperwork and it's approved then it can be deemed for non-athletic purposes. However, as is the case is some transfers if a student transfers from school A to school B and School A contest the validity of the transfer then it goes through a whole process that can eventually lead to the State determining eligibility for student. The burden of proof is on the student which is about the least democratic thing we could possibly do but nonetheless why punish coaches when you can punish students. I did a deep dive about a month ago looking into these rules.

Keep that same energy for your Falcons.

Yea, I think the ability to manufacturer some points will be big if Crosby has any chance. That being said Crosby won't win this game by having the best player on the field that will likely be on the other side of the line of scrimmage so they need to make something happen. Fumbles, picks and tricks may make some puppies sick.

LBJ Austin is very good, but their district is subpar.

Coach P gets to throw the kitchen sink this week. If you've watched Crosby before we always throw something at the defense that we haven't done before. I have a feeling it might be some two QB sets. Give them a look they will have never seen before and make the boys on the field have to figure it out. Unlike previous years we don't get to rev up in the playoffs we just have to hit the pedal and go. I expect if we win the flip we ask for the ball. I expect us to score on the first drive, we do a very good job of scripting that first drive. I think this game will all be about confidence. If the Lobos allow Crosby to get some early confidence then this will be a barn burner. However, there's also the possibility the Lobos just complete impose on Crosby. Crosby needs a fast start, and need to turn in into a shoot out because we are unlikely to be able to contain the Lobos running game This feels worse than the Texas High game because we don't have the dynamic duo in the backfield this year nor do we have that defense this year. Crosby will have to play above their level of play this year and will have to score and not make mistakes. Crosby can score, we have excellent ability to mix, there is no singular point of focus that you can key on because we have 3 senior receivers that can make play, two runningbacks that can make plays, and probably the best TE we've had since like 08'. Z. George was the last time we had that kind of skill level at TE. Coach P has a little madness behind his play calling and offensive strategies in the playoffs. What other coach would have flipped their RB/WR in the playoffs? What other coach would have gone from 65% blitz rate against Texas High to less than 20% against FBM. I think we will have a great game plan and we have kids that believe they can beat Longview. Most teams don't think they can, Crosby legitimately thinks they'd be the 1 seed if they hadn't had so many injuries this year (it doesn't matter if that's true because the kids believe it.) That all being said the Lobos are a heavy heavy favorite.
