Could you imagine what P would have done with that Netherly, Cotton, Williams team?

Multiple on one Jumping (multiple on one) has been a thing for a very long time, it just used to not occur on the school grounds. I knew kids that got jumped in high school. Ferocity Ferocity is I think tied to social emotional growth. When you or I was 16 we could get angry but had the maturity to know when enough was enough. I remember when younger kids used to get into a fight they would not know when to stop. What you're seeing is someone with the physicality of a 16-17 year old but with the emotional awareness of a 13-14 year old. They don't know when to stop. Discipline Add to it that getting in a fight is zero tolerance thus if you're in it the only thing worse that's going to happen to you if you keep wailing on someone is slightly worse than what's going to happen to you if you get wailed on and why not finish the fight. Used to be if you got in a fight and no one ended up with a bloody lip people would talk to you and you might get a day suspension. Now days your getting multiple day suspension and possibly a ticket. Punishment as the only outcome doesn't work when it's applied equally, it only works when applied equitably. One observation: The multiple on one fights I've seen and had information about tend to be within friend groups. I think that the friend groups tend to be retaliating for a perceived or real grievance. It is in my opinion because in groups are way more solidified because you could only really hang around with the people you lived next to during the pandemic. Thus groups of kids have started to become more directly linked to their living conditions, and less linked to the school house. School house was the place you could go from having all crappy friends to having good influence friends by making a decision. 2 years of Covid took that from a lot of kids.

Hit the Pylon, GG, TD.

So I know a lot of people in this forum are going to blame a lot of things that are only peripherally relevant to the question your asking. The answer is a lot of schools have had a lot of fighting for a very long time. However, the number of fights seem to have drastically increased since the return to school post-pandemic. Students social emotional growth is lower than it was for students of the same age 3 years ago. Maturity levels are down, standards decreased, and a lot of that has to do with student not preforming well when they weren't physically in the buildings. They also solidified their friend groups more. Even at good schools we saw increases in fighting, and more important multiple/groups of people fighting. When you take 16 year old kids with hormones and they are social/emotionally underdeveloped you get negative outcomes. What we learned is just how much school matters for social/emotional development and just how little of that is occurring at home. There are ofc outliers some kids are as mature as they should be but they also tended to be the kids involved in a lot of activities that promote social/emotional growth. Team sports, clubs, honor societies, UIL academics, etc.

This is always a fun thread, but the more fun one is after the game when BH fans make 85 excuses about why they lost another close game.

The answer is people who lose the football game care about the other sports.

How to prove you didn't watch the Crosby CE King game...

rushing for 250 is a good sign for the Broncos.

Dayton Broncos look to keep their 65 season unbeaten streak alive against Brigham Young East this week.

In honesty, It should be a good game to watch. I just think BH has to hope Crosby plays down. If BH and Crosby both play their best games I think Crosby wins, but it's high school football so anything can and will happen. Couple BH friends don't share your enthusiasm about this game that you do tho.

They went from a 2 game average opp score of 1.5 ppg to a 3 game average of 17.6 ppg. That's just what Guyer does to people.

Fort Bend Marshall is in our coverage area now... #4 5AD2

The Irony of the Bh poster directly above you.

I don't think they actually do. I think they are puffing their chest out because it's one of two games remaining on their schedules that they will be underdogs in.

We play better in Even # games so... BH is done.

Nah, we got our butt beat by Liberty Hill and C.E. King. Not having starters with King wouldn't have made the difference but would have likely made it closer. But you need Crosby to be lucky to justify why BH is so inconsistent. Maybe one day yall will learn how to win the tough ones and what it takes to go deep not just have one good game in the playoffs.

Kirkwood was incredible that is for sure but he probably has a better running back to lean on this year.

#EveryCrosbyWinisLucky

I mean only if Crosby is the old Dayton. Dayton owned us for a decade and a half.

BRONCOS!

After a good night sleep. Crosby came into the game with some kids that hadn't played yet due to injury, we played a sloppy, uninspired first half. We gave the other team so many chances and still went into halftime up by 7. We then outscored the opponent 21-7 in the second half, while still not playing very crisp football. I will say getting the job done is the most important thing and lots of improvement is needed if Crosby wants to get to where they want to go. I also think QB needs to reevaluate some of his decision making, he's thrown picks in back to back to back games and one of his strongest attributes was how well he took care of the ball for this team last year. One step forward.

Getting beat by 20 doesn’t = evenly matched. That still a buttwhooping anyway you slice it. much closer than expected. Crosby made way too many errors in this one, gotta clean it up.

Ball game. Gander were opportunistic today. Cannot play like that vs BH.

41-21 Ganders losing their composure.

34-21 Mid 4th.
