Great game BH... Kids showed plenty of heart and determination. That young QB is nice. TBH I think the Coach put the game on his shoulders and he only made a couple of mistakes. Personally, I see one of the INT's as the WR's fault by letting the DB take the ball from him. With that said, be proud of those kids they are warriors.

C’mon man, it’s not like y’all were handing us the ball. Manvel had one mishandled exchange which led to a fumble y’all ended up recovering. All those other fumbles were forced. I think Manvel was a little surprised after they bloodied Crosby’s nose that Crosby swung back. In order to make up the talent gap with a team like y’all Crosby was going to have to play physical, force Manvel into some mistakes and capitalize when they did. That’s what happened. Hopefully we get to do it again in December. 

*Looking at it, that is Manvel’s first regular season loss since Pearland in 2015. 

LOL! If you want me to lie to you and tell you that Crosby was the most physical team we have faced then I will but remember Manvel have faced off with NS, Katy, Westfield etc... We know a little something about true physicality.

Manvel played a piss poor game and was still ahead with one second left. That is after 5 or so turnovers and way too many penalties... If we would have won that game I would feel the same way I feel now. Just so happen we played a team that was good enough to take advantage of it. From a Crosby standpoint you should be excited and view things objectively. Crosby did what they had to do... it's that simple. Congratulations on a big win. 

I hate to see kids get injured... Hopefully RJ makes a full recovery and rejoins his team.

Praying all goes well.

Turnovers man. You can have the best offense in the state but if you can’t hold onto the ball then it means nothing.

Yep...

Of course there are better teams but that doesn't make a team to be bad.

I picked Manvel to win but not once did I think Manvel would win because Crosby was a bad team.

Crosby is very good, Manvel is good, just not THAT good.

LOL! Ok... To be in a game with Crosby or anyone else after that many turnovers you have to be pretty good. But I understand where you coming from.

Great game and congratulations to Crosby... Those kids fought the whole fight. The coach did a nice job as well. You guys have reason to be proud of their performance last night.

Question, why would anyone think Crosby to be a bad team in the first place?

I wasn't impressed by the film at all. That's not to say they were "BAD" but I've seen better. I saw flashes but nothing that made me think Manvel would lose.

Hmmm....

First of all... Great game and Congratulations.

I learned a couple things last night.

1) Manvel isn't near as good as we have been in the past.

2) Crosby isn't near as bad as I thought they were. 

I can think of a million reasons why Manvel loss but it boils down to one... Crosby's will to win a ball game last night. You guys have reason to be proud and it wasn't so much about "WHO" they played but "HOW" they played. Crosby kids fought until the bell and earned my respect. That's 100!

With my experience,33 years, I am also sure I have been wrong, LOTS, like the time me and 5 others (Erik Dickerson included) shimmied down 2 stories from our dorm room at TCU during practice for the 1979 THSCA all star game just to meet a couple of horn frog co-Ed’s who never showed up. I fell halfway down on my coccyx, bruised, ego hurt but didn’t miss a single practice. Tough Ukrainian! I am wrong about every day, I am married. I could be wrong about Crosby, I could be wrong about manvel. I am a writer, been that way my whole life, so I let it flow. You don’t know how much I wanted to reply since mid 90s to all these football forums, but didn’t cause I was head coach hunting. I read social media at early morning after prayer and late at night got 1/2 hour. Too busy.   

I may be wrong but I think there is something going on in this Crosby stew and it could be the best since 96? When I was DC here and we almost Beat  defending champion la marque 13-6 in the dome (need a dvd of that if anyone has it). 

Crosby 17. Manvel 14 final answer.

I'm not sure what's going on in Crosby/stewing but they are concealing it from their opponents... at least on film.

14+ Manvel.

Wow, I am off social media for a few days and hoped to find banter, instead an all out war. Last year I went to Manvel opening practice for 2 a days and to visit Coach Robinson ( former coach with me at RSS, and the best assistant HS coach in the nation-check how many d-1 receivers manvel has had, quality man. ) what I saw was the most athletic self motivated group since the Yates state finalist of the early 90s. They would have destroyed Crosby last year. Jerry jones brought in a voodoo lady to secure the state championship on their home field. 

BUT they lost over 18 starters, I believe clear lake is extremely overrated. I saw manvel workout several times while putting together ads for their football program (my new job along with covering Crosby among others for the Baytown sun ) manvel is going to be awesome in 2 years (Marshall will win their district this year). The difference will be the surgeon Crosby has at quarterback. New Caney has one of the best secondary I have seen in 33 years of coaching all juniors ( look out for new Caney next year, hear me port Arthur this year) and Howard was super intelligent with passes but especially non passes. RBs got better as game wore on,but Crosby going back to the 4-2-5 with a guy that can call it is a big difference. 

Crosby by 9, I know Hosa hey and maverick traditions but I am being as rational as possible. I want a great game for a great Sun report. Then I am off to Aggie land for 24 hours straight to videography and write on this topic, “Texas A & M, college or CULT.” I’ll be interviewing at espn game day, former Aggie players, fans, corps, Clemson fans, during game , after game and my hope is to get this carried by a couple of major sources. Who knows, not as fun as coaching but less intense.

LOL! Thats a whole bunch of typing. I'm very glad you are being rational. With your years of experience I'm pretty sure you have been wrong once or twice. LOL!

TBH Crosby doesn't look any better than Clear Lake on film. Angleton (scrimmage)punished them physically and NC just didn't have the players to compete. Manvel by 14+.

I don’t know but half of me wants a rain out...

I hope we can stay healthy and just improve on something. We got a good coach, he has some talented players but the test is real Friday night.  

Just kidding about rain out!!!

 

 

 

Harvey stopped last years game. This year I think it is game on. It should be a great game with a nice HS Football environment to match. 

How is the weather forecast for Fridays game?

Should be a great game.

Manvel will be promoting Kevin Hall to HC.  Word has it he won’t be the only former Jasper player/coach at Manvel next year...

Manvel RB coach/Head Track Coach (2 State Titles) is from Jasper as well. Been here since 2011. Coach Crumedy. I'm thinking he'll be OC this upcoming season. 

Congratulations to HP. They made the plays needed to be State Champs. No excuses on my end... We were out played after half.

I have no issue with that salarly and they should match teachers with that salary as well. 

Should be a great game... I'm taking Manvel!

WHO WINS?

Katy played very sloppy.  LT scored on 2 trick plays (double passes).  LT deserved to win.  It was about 40 degrees and raining.  Think that woulda hurt LT but it didn’t.

Yeah... Seldom see Katy DBs fall for such plays but LT ran both  perfect.

Down goes Frazier

Manvel in a blowout

Knew it... Coach Martin let up after half. Could have beat them by 50

GAME DAY!!! Let's roll!

Manvel has played the tougher schedule no doubt.

Angleton has absolutely destroyed everyone on their schedule though. They have only had less than a 21 point lead at the half three times all year. Both times against Foster and against flour bluff. Foster was a really good team and they beat them twice by 27 or more.

Manvel will not have seen a team as explosive on offense as angleton is.

Has Angleton seen a team as explosive as Manvel?

Lol. Didn't even make a prediction on that game. You can look at the thread. I can assure you I would have never picked Temple over Manvel this yearl.

Maybe you erased it... but I remember going back and forth with you over it. No biggie. We will prove you wrong again.
