Only a 2 hour drive... for Marshall to PNG.

Marshall should want that district so they can have some games that are actually difficult each year.

their whole district left 5ad2 so makes sense.

District 12 is likely. Cedar Park Georgetown East View Georgetown Leander Glenn Leander Pflugerville Hendrickson Killeen Killeen Shoemaker Killeen Ellison

District projections from me. D 9 Kingwood Park Crosby Barbers Hill Port Arthur Memorial Baytown Sterling Baytown Lee Goose Creek Memorial Pasadena La Porte D 10 Austin Milby Northside Sharpstown Sterling Waltrip Wisdom D 11 Manvel Freindswood Foster Fulshear Galveston Ball Angleton Kempner Terry

8 Frisco teams in 5ad1 this is going to be wild.

WOW NO EL PASO SCHOOLS IN 5AD1

Pasadena is 5AD1 and 9 5AD1 HISD schools.

source? because that would likely drop BH and Crosby to D2.

I would assume you'd get KWP as well.

This is absurd tbf. 5AD1 will have two 6 team districts with 132 teams that means every other district in the state will either have 9 or 8 teams in it.

Still a chance we get bumped down if schools decide to opt up late. Lots of traditional pairs just got split by 10-15 kids.

Manvel remains 5AD1 by only 34 students.

they actually put highland park in 6a...

2224 seems insane low for 6a.

Crosby to D1 by 2 students.

With Rio we know he's a very good coach but he also left Crosby for a school that everyone knew had a lot of talent. His coaching has always enhanced that talent his staff has also traditionally done a good job at getting kids recruited. With Flannigan I honestly think he's developed as a coach a lot. I think when he left Crosby he was a good coach but over that last decade he has clearly learned some lessons and become a great coach. He had some trying times after leaving Crosby (the locker room camera thing.) and I think it has made him a better leader and coach. When thrown into the fire you either melt or it burns away the excess and leave the core a really good man.

I remember when projections came out the last time saying Crosby would be a very big 6a in 10 years (pre-covid) the community rather universally said we want to remain 1 school. The design of the new Crosby HS has the ability to add up to 4 new wings to it in the future. There are hallways that go nowhere and the school was built in the academy style so 4 more wings is something like 100 classrooms which would be an ability to be as big as about 4.5k students. Add to that the possibility of a ninth grade campus and Crosby has the land and setup to become a very very big 6a high school.

Faircloth leaves no good coach is going to want the job if after going 3 rounds deep you don't get renewed with that talent pool.

So Liberty Hill seems to have won this far by simply out executing on their special teams and offense. their defense makes basically a big stop or two a game and then forces people into passing situations which they have shown the ability to control passing teams when they know they won't run. Leander Rouse looks almost identical to PNG they have a worse offense and slightly better defense. Alamo was a pretty solid team but made a lot of mistakes. 2 missed XPs, no attempt at a short kickoff, they fix those mistakes they would have won, but that's not how it works. Crosby needs to play a clean penalty free, turnover free game. If we can do that we can and should beat this team. I also think they have a very hyper aggressive mindset and their coaches do not trust their defense. They run a punt reverse pass for a td on 4th and 5 from the 50 against Rouse. They kicked an onside up 2 against Alamo. This coaching staff from LH makes borderline crazy decisions. Always be prepared for the fake action because that's their go to when they need it.

So interesting bit to consider. Flannigan proved the talent existed and that Crosby could be a winner. He was a disciplinarian when at Crosby and those guys tend to have a timer running until they upset someone enough to lose their jobs. Rio was brought in by a super who had ties to Sulphur Springs. Prieto was brought in by a super who had ties to Corpus Christi. So I guess the real trick is hirer a new super from an underutilized coaching area and let them bring their contacts to a Houston area talent pool. Also, to be clear Preito and Rio were coordinators when we hired them. We didn't try and go get Allens HC.

all the doubters telling these boys can't beat X, won't be as good as last year. Two games and they can show they are even better than last year. Gotta finish the Job.

So did Texas High.

We shall see.
