If you lose to Pasadena it would be because the Freshman team played because the game didn't matter.

They are going to play La Porte their defense is just fine.

7 PM I think

We are a middle of the road team good enough to make the playoffs but not good enough to do much once we get there. That game also was a bit of the damn breaking as well 17-0 halftime is not exactly what you expect in a 52-6 game.

Either La Porte has really turned a corner, or Crosby was a paper kitty. Think this one is a good one but I would not be overly surprised if La Porte has simply turned a corner and is head a shoulders above everyone else in district. So La Porte by 7 but could see it being worse. The one X-Factor is both teams know how to defend this offense from La Porte so...

Crosby wins they are guaranteed at least 3rd place in district. We will see tonight how possible a win versus Angleton is but I'd venture to guess that 3rd place is the max for this team, and a first round exit given how good that College Station or A&M Consolidated teams are, honestly playing the #3 from that district is not much better. It's good for the kids to make the playoffs and at least not be a 2 win team, but cannot help but feel we wasted some talent this year. Crosby should be able to run over Porter. vOv 42-7 Crosby

That's the type of coach most programs around this area wish they had. Man knows who he is what he does and how to get kids to buy in.

did Friendswood get healthy or is porter that bad?

All year... It's not the same the last two coaches elevated our program and now with a average coach we are average. It's sad because this team has more D1 talent on it than the state finalist team or the State Semifinalist team did yet is not gonna make it out of round 1 of the playoffs. weak district helps us get third place but... we aren't going anything with it.

rutroh---- Spookey season.

!!0-17-h

LP

Yall look very impressive by far the best offense we've played this year not even close.

!!:17-0-2

100% true but if you don't believe in what your doing it why are you doing it. When yall play someone better your not going to stop running your offense.

So we have spent the last 4 weeks smashing peoples faces in to now try and develop and intricate quick pass/screen offense/option/rpo offense?

Last two drives La Porte's offense has been busting up the Crosby D, great play by defense for a strip and fumble, but Offense is not helping the defense out yet.

!!:0-10-1

Neither team is getting many possessions in this one, both teams run the ball well and consistently.

Mirroring OlDawg and 14,3. Crosby's defense has been very good this season, they turn over passing teams and tend to be pretty good in the trenches. Mr. 0 will be all over the field in this one and this is an opportunity for him to show all those other colleges what they are missing out on. 2 will do what 2 does and this game likely gets determined in the trenches. I want to see what the coaching staff does in this one, we know LP is very consistent and they are what they are and do not deviate they have an excellent team culture and understanding of exactly who they are and how their systems work. Continuity and years of practice make that the case. The depth question is a big one, as four different running backs will see the field for LP and how good Crosby's 2nd team of dlinemen is may be a deciding factor if Crosby is equally able to rotate and not lose a lot. I have been pleasantly surprised with the Cougars last three games but that does not mean we are at LP's level this year, maybe we are, maybe we aren't but schemes, coaching, and playcalling are going to have a big effect. Not sure Crosby can win this one if we don't establish a passing game, but we've been doing just enough passing in the last four to make our offense work. Also this is game is going to be done an hour before everyone else with the amount of running that's going to happen from both sides. Crosby in a squeaker by a score.

I'm an outside, I have no skin in this game. PNG should be considered the favorite in this game, they should be the heavy favorite. That being said PNG has not looked like last years team, they look like a smart, savvy veteran team that is not quite as talented as last year. Nederland if they want to win needs to punch PNG in the mouth from the moment the game starts until it ends they need to turn this into a brawl as much as a game in the trenches. PNG is bigger, stronger, more accomplished, and has the better coaching staff and because of all of those reasons I think the dogs take this one, because it's not called mid-county expectations it's called mid-county madness and madness ensures the dogs come out of top.

This is for the DC likely right?

Crosby @ La Porte likely determines which top 3 spot each receives. Neither team has played Angleton. La Porte plays them Week 10 Crosby play them week 11 whichever team wins is guaranteed a playoff birth. (Both are highly likely to get a playoff spot.)

So after watching this one yesterday... holy crap Crosby beat the living H E Double Hockey Sticks out of this team. Offensive line manhandled them, defensive line manhandled them, special team was exceptional, #2 is looking like one of the best backs in the state he can do everything. The play calling was good, everything was working including the two QB's (three Qb's technically ran a Wide Reiciever + RB Speed option.) This was by far the most complete the team has looked. We still do not get much from the QB position but in this game we did not need them. Have we improved a lot on the offensive line and blocking schemes or have the opponents just not been anyone near our 2nd and 3rd opponents or... We are substantially better or both. We will find out against Angleton and LP. This is the most excited I've been all year.
