Tom Westerberg: "You can't sprinkle fairy dust on it and expect it to be better." 

mate you needed 2 tds called back two onside kicks and a clock operator that was actively trying to effect the game to be within 6. 

Ahh you've obviously didn't see the Dayton Posters last year. 

I mean we don't have problems in the first round it's those darn FB schools that have been killing us lately. 

I've not seen Jasper play, If Jasper looks like WO-S then no.
I mean the reason you play the game is because there is a chance. 
Porter beat us last year and we still won the District so one game doth not define a season. 
I mean it definitely would dampen the spirits a bit for sure. 

Someones gonna be eating a lot of crow after this one so lets just get this post up already. 

I see they got the good stuff where you live. 

yes they can. Once you get passed the Start date set by the state of texas you can practice as if you are in school. 
 
The bigger issue might be equipment and a place to practice. 

Rob. We were up by two scores the whole second half? Now it was 11 and 9 for most of that but that's still a TD and FG. We also ran the ball at you when we got it back up two scores to waste the clock. Y'all are a good team but your not being realistic if your evaluating that game as "closer than it was" it was a 2 score game, could y'all have scored absolutely but that would have changed Crosby's Math on what we needed to do to win. I'll give you a hint if you had scored the cougars would have thrown the ball in the 4th instead of run, run pass, punt. Netherly would have been let loose instead of giving the ball to Los 3-4 plays. So if you want your props thats cool. Crosby would have beat Porter 9-10 times to but neither of those things happened.

Pakronos has left logic at the door and is now just burning epithets and making voodoo dolls to ensure success. 

Y'all are good but... I don't think anyone can matchup with Manvel this year. They have manhandled everyone they've played. They put a whooping to Crosby, North Shore and Pearland in the pre-district. All of which are district champs. 
PAM's good but in the words of Lee Corso "Hold your horses there." 

hahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha i'm done.

If you're sleeping on this team WAKE up they have track stars all over the field. One good game plan and a few missed tackles add a turnover or two and the Cougars lose this one. 
They aren't ridge point they are a completely different challenge. This team may be faster than we are and we haven't played anyone sans Manvel that can say that. 
COUGARS PLAY A GOOD GAME ITS A W. 

I agree but I really think the first team who really goes after your QB will have a shot but Willowridge probably isn't that team. 

Ok ok.
I'm just talking to see myself talk. it just struck me as funny that a lot of the discussion sounded just like it did last year before Ridge point. 
Good luck this weekend.

Crosby should have this hands down. Teams don't realize how hard it is to defend that vidor offense. Crosby defense should have this in the bag if they don't create too many yards with those PF.
Crosby by 17.

I love how a two score victory is barely escaping Crosby didn't try to score in the 4th. Also the Cougars were up two scores the whole second half. Excuse us for protecting a lead. I mean PAM lost to that same "no tricks offense". Your laughable.

First playoff victory in 71 years. 1-8 now all time good job NC.

Also Centrals Band is awesome 

My final thoughts. 
Now we are used to this by now but we got Vidors best shot they weren't sloppy that system is gonna cause a bad play now and then because it's got so many moving parts. They ran probably 2-3 tricks/niche plays. Stuff like Monster formations and pitch back reverses, onside kicks, weird punts, etc. We took everything Vidor had to throw at us and i really feel we won the game when we killed that reverse late in the fourth granted Vidor had a couple more opportunities but that moment changed the narrative, Crosby got the ball back ran some time and reset the defense. 
The Williams TD, had a kid show me the film it's a good block on the outside, it's actually two really good blocks one of our linemen gets an amazing cut block and the other engages a player and as he get knocked over pushes him down. It was a beautiful textbook block. (that's the same one everyone was hooting and hollering about.) The refs made a very good call because I'll admit in the moment i wasn't sure if it was a hold or not but the ref was standing right there saw a good block and called it as such. 
I think this Vidor team is better than the one that beat Crosby in 11?, they had more weapons and the system looked a bit more refined. Now thats no consolation because it's now basketball season but that team was tough as nails. I cannot count how many times i saw a visor player get absolutely leveled and then dust themselves off stand up and get ready for the next play. Incredible amount of toughness from that side. 
Personal fouls. Crosby has had problems with these I think we had 2? this game and they were plays that kids were over reacting to. I think teams know Crosby is prone to these penalties and tries to bait them. Vidor also had multiple personal fouls, one was for a late hit one was for tripping a player after they scored (saw the film it was VERY intentional.)  
I also saw film were on long runs Vidor players would run next to a Cougar and the fall over like they'd been hit trying to draw penalties. I think the refs saw that as well and players lost credibility with the refs. I'm sure this was coached behavior because kids wouldn't think to do this if not coached. 
So lets not throw rocks in Glass houses shall we?
So Vidor did everything they could within the rules to win, but sometimes thats not enough and there is no shame in that. Hope everyone over in Vidor has a great weekend and whoever they root for outside of the Vidor Football team does well this year. 
I think the Cougars played a really Solid first half on offense and a really solid second half on defense now we need both sides to do that for both halves. 
Now You'll find me on the Crosby v. FB Marshall page. 

Thanks Vpirate02! 
We need some good vibes towards Deer Park next Friday. 1 at a time.
