  1. 8-5A D1

    PAM

    Crosby

    BH

    La Porte 

     

    The Crosby BH game the last two years has come down to the final play of game to decide it. Crosby tying then winning 2 years ago, Crosby losing by going for 2 this year. I think Crosby turns those fortunes around this year. Kade Eudy got some very big snaps this year as a Junior and has a full offseason for the offense to focus on him. He has a sweet arm and we will see what the coaches develop around him. I expect Crosby might again be pretty young next year with several sophomores making varsity and playing meaningful minutes. Most the O and D Line are back and hopefully the strength and conditioning coach just has permeant video in the weight room of them being manhandled by King, BH, KWP, and Longview. 

    I think some of the linemen at Crosby rested on their laurels last year and it showed up big time on film. Crosby is successful next year if those young men build their bodies this off season and really focus on becoming 5AD1 linemen. In this classification you cannot be undersized, and understrengthen and expect to scheme your way out of games. It all starts in the weight room. 

    PAM should be the clear favorite, 3 deep playoff run, only lost to the State Semifinalist and it seems that State Semifinals was the real state championship game given the butt whooping Aledo brought out in the championship game.  

    Crosby tends to reload skill positions and I'm hopeful they will do that. We do return our top two running backs but lose our top 4 receiving threats. Defensively we know what we have in the middle of the field and that kid looks like he wants it just as bad as any player I've seen. When you say he's the heart and soul of the defense you're not exaggerating it felt like 80% of the big plays made by the defense this year were him. (MINUS some great safety work.) 

    No reason to be down on the Cougars next year. I think this district is all about the top two because otherwise you get Lancaster or Longview in the first round and no one wants to play those teams round one. 

    PAM has a tendency to PAM a game away each year I think this year that would be a huge problem if it happened against Crosby or BH. 

  2. THIS SOC team is not nearly as good as last years. The difference is this one is absolutely Elite on the defensive side of the ball. They won't score a whole heck of a lot but that's because they don't have to. They also will try to take the air out the ball if they get a 10 point lead. They are huge up front and its a state title game so everyone will be motivated. 

    PNG has the type of offense that can score because they have highly accurate passing that can punish the SOC Safeties and Linebackers. You need to attack the seams against this team or you will be in trouble. Lancasters 2 TDs were good passes on the seems and a player simply running to open space for a TD.

    Post indicate SOC is huge on the line.  Was Argyle even close?  I guess the real question is, is Argyle as big as PNG in the front?  The Indians dwarfed LH up front, thus giving the RB’s good holes and the QB all day to pass, but will they be able to play with SOC there?

    Appreciate any info about that because that’s where the game begins, where the hogs meet.

    No it wasn't close in size. 

     

    Soc's Right side is 300+ center, 350 + right guard, 325+ RT and the Guard moves better than the tackle or the center he's a damn freight train that pulls consistently and effectively. 

    Left side is still like 280+ and 300+ They look like a Collegiate offensive line physically. 

     

    Here's them losing to Lancaster early in year.
