dayton

yes, and doing a great job.

Interesting that you say that. The CC team has Coach Leonard. He might be older, but he's a great motivator and he's training them with lots of new principles and ideas. That's the type of coach folks are saying would benefit the football program.

yes... i'd say that's good stock. 

Slack comes from good stock as far as athletic ability is concerned. Good for him and Liberty!

who's in from that district?

TC, Elkins and......

So sad. Hope those two passed quickly and as painlessly as possible. 

i bet that LM win did feel good. The "showmanship" from LM always frustrated me quite a bit. Sad to see how far that LM has fallen though.

Good luck to both teams this week. I think Crosby has a little too much and will win by a couple scores, but I also know Lumberton won't go quietly.

Crosby won't act like that. They'll likely get some stupid penalties trying to be overly physical, but they don't do all that nonsense like the old LM teams. 

agreed. BH kids' effort level is as high as I've ever seen, and the community backs them at the same level.

Good post TradenupBH. 

Dayton likes to wear white, so if Dayton had their druthers, I'd bet that's right.

By the looks of the Oakwood subdivision, I'll bet lots of folks were flooded in, since that area doesn't typically flood. I'll cut the band, etc some slack on this one. Fan attendance has been down for a while now, regardless of circumstances. 

That New  Caney  offense scraped together 35 points and a bunch of yards against Crosby, who obviously has a good defense. I'll take a 2 point shootout win with them any day. PNG can lick all the chops they want.

wow

just to be clear... by challenge, i mean misbehave, not bow up to me or my wife. Mine are still pretty young, but already know better than that. Poor choice of words on my part.

I was just having a conversation about this. My kids challenge me at home, but are well behaved at school. I'll take it. I'd rather discipline some acting out at home than burden a teacher with it.

Good post. Above all, he knows how to win. 

Not sure what that means.... and of course i'm knitpicking... Crosby is awefully darn good and Cotton is a good QB. Just an observation from a very small sample of football.

That's because Crosby forced them to make their mistakes. Other teams have no effect on what Crosby does or doesn't do. You should know that.

Not trying to fire anyone up from Crosby, but I think their ONLY weak point on offense is Cotton's decision making at times. Against Dayton he seemed dead set on getting the ball to Netherly even when he was well covered. We heard for several weeks leading up to the game about how many weapons Crosby had (which they do) and what a high level Cotton was playing at... I just didn't see it. No matter how many D1 offers your receiver has, you can't just throw it up and not look to anyone else. Then again... maybe coach just went super conservative and just did enough to beat Dayton...

real growth WILL come to Dayton. Might be a couple alignments down the road though....

come on man. High school football has tons to do with tradition. Are you willing not to bring up last friday's game since it's in the past?

yes.. i know about those by the civic center... that's just a handful though. I'm talking big neighborhoods. The duplexes are going to be literally across the street from me. I suppose they could be considered large scale. I'm not knocking dayton... I live here and don't have any intentions of leaving. Just get on a homefinder app and see how much new construction is going on in Crosby compared to Dayton. It's not close.

Dayton is gonna need some development on a larger scale to keep pace.... The new Fordland addition will help, but Crosby really is growing fast.

The kids that had knowledge of what was going in the basket knew better. The letter sent out, for those that bothered to read it, pretty well confirms that. Anyone in the good sportsmanship league at this point in the season, knows what sort of things should go in the basket. I don't believe the kids that filled the basket are racist, but they did choose to make a racially charged gesture, which was most likely blown out of proportion by the adults.

Raise your hand if you have ever consumed, or have the necessary tools to consume a whole watermelon, coconut and a can of pineapples while you're at a football game. That part is actually funny to me, but the same effect could have been achieved with different contents.

Good post. I think it's also very likely that the kids that received the gift weren't offended, but the adults after the fact were. I also think the undertones were 100% intended. Stupid move by the kids IMO. I wonder if they always take a pic with the good sportsmanship gift in hand before the game...
