Certainly a really tough draw for NC in the second round. The reward for winning first ever playoff game,  is the number 1 team in the state. I'm sure our kids and coaches will give it their best shot. Manvel is heavily favored but I believe it will be closer than the Jaguar fan posted above.

I think Foster would give y'all more trouble than Denton Ryan would. Ryan just get too many points scored on them for it not to catch up with them at some point. Foster is a beast this year and one of the few teams in 5A that can match y'all person for person on the line of scrimmage. I like Ryan a lot but they're very qb-centric, Foster and Manvel are probably the most complete teams if you take into consideration both sides of the ball.

No disrespect to other 3 regions this is de facto state title game.

Definitely be for state. Unless something crazy happens winner of that game will take it all.

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. 

I was giving y'all credit man. Kronos was trying to marginalize getting their head beat in. Mathews record is what it is, I was just pointing that out because no matter how good he thinks PAM might be you have to take into consideration all aspects of the game and that night he got outcoached. Same way he would have against PNG if they had some athletes. As far as the Crosby vs Vidor game I guess it's just how you look at it? I'm sure you were pleased because Vidor played a solid game. I was pleased because Vidor was a solid team and had it not been for two tds called back and the dumb late safety we gave up the score in that game is probably 47-22 which gave me optimism moving forward after playing against someone's district champion like that. I felt the same way in 2011 you did in last week where you play and undefeated squad, knock them off in a physical game then have to turn around on a week night and drive 70 miles for a playoff game. Only thing that hurts Vidor is that offense isn't plug and play meaning you need personnel yearly, another thing I saw is that Mathews loads up the offense at the expense of the defense.  

Lol, NS punked y'all 66-7 the first time y'all lined up and they punked y'all 38-7 the last time y'all lined up. When North Shore goes 8-4 that's considered a down year for a squad that hasn't lost a bi-district game since 1999, obviously after going 3-7 back to back years 8-4 would be a considerable improvement at PAM. You got blasted on a regular by North Shore and dropped down to 5A and got blasted by Vidor who attempted two passes. Say whatever you need to make yourself feel better though Mouse, we're about to get our 40th win in four years Friday night. Just make sure you don't get punked against Elkins like y'all did the last time and a in the district championship game.

As SFA said, he is just a sophomore and was having a great game.  It was a bad ankle break from what I was told and immediately went into surgery.  Hopefully everything heals right and he is ready to go by July 31st...

Mouse, huffing paint is illegal. Vidor beat y'alls head in. North Shore was kicking PAM's teeth in 66-7 a decade ago and has been mashing your head into the ground ever since except for one year PAM was good and one year NS was down, they were crop dusting PAM no matter the numbers. You're a flat out idiot if you call getting throttled multiple times against two wins going back and fourth. Not only that, y'all struggled with a trash Westside team that was blown out by a Houston Heights we were up 25-0 on when we pulled the starters. You barely beat a PNG team that struggled mightily with BH who was blown out twice by Crosby and NC in district play. One of the most stupid things I've heard you say on here is that PAM walked into a district championship game expecting Vidor to roll over, you just need to accept the fact that you got your arse handed to you by double digits. Vidor didn't need OT either. Nobody cares about your excuses, just like they didn't care about Crosby's who had a real argument for overlooking a team that won like 6 games the previous three years. You proved my point though, you have to point to a Porter win two months ago to make your point but I can point to your whole season to make mine.
PAM was 6-14 their last two years in 6A, Manvel just beat the #6 ranked team in 6A who also happens to be the defending champ. The also beat a 6A-D1 area finalist in Pearland 36-0. You must think PAM is a clown show if you're calling Manvel Hoka Joke. Manvel would slaughter PAM by four or five tds and that's if coach Martin called the dogs off.   

Manvel's only credible win is NS? LOL! Ok... Then in the next breath you give PAM credit for a scrimmage? Are you joking. Scrimmage don't mean NOTHING! But Pearland ISN'T the same Pearland though? They just beat the 24-4A District Champs. And oh yeah... Crosby just beat that Vidor team that slaughtered ya'll a couple weeks ago. Can they get a little credit? Plus they didn't have some starters in the Porter game. 
At least you gave Manvel credit for NS. Yes, Manvel plays in a soft district? True some of these teams aren't what they once was. But in 2012-13 we came out of a SOFT district and beat the ALL-MIGHTY 21-5A PAM, 2013-14 we came out of a SOFT  district and beat the rough & tough LaPorte, 2014-15 we came out of a SOFT district and beat Westbrook, 2015 we came out of a SOFT district and beat Channelview. And we also 3-2 vs 21-5A stud dog NS! 
Let's take care of business a see what happens. 

Bro, you lost to Vidor by double digits the week before we beat them by 9 with two tds called back and a dumb safety late in the game. Not only that, in the district championship game your coach got outcoached by a guy with a career sub .500 record. If you're going to use the transitive property on a loss Crosby took two months ago under the perfect circumstances for Porter then that loss PAM took two weeks ago looks real bad. Not that I even care but looking over resumes for the season Crosby's is actually better than PAM's other than our losss to Manvel by the same two tds North Shore did. 
 
 

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." 

You would have to ask one of the Manvel fans but I don't think the 2011 state final team was even as good as this squad. Tucker and Preston are probably NFL players and maybe the linebacker too. To call the defense on this year's Manvel squad suffocating might be selling them short, I don't think that '11 squad had that. You have to realize if they were in 6A they would most likely be ranked #3 in the state and the favorite to play Cibolo Steele in the D2 semifinals. 

This team would punish the 2011team and I hate to say that.

PNG correct? What separated the two was Manvel pulling the starters with about 9 mins left in the game (up by damn near 30 points)... You guys pull out all the stops and score 25 points in 6 mins... Other than that you guys were overmatched. You had plenty of heart though and didn't lay down.

Great fight Rough Riders.  Great win BC!

Think we will play at UH? That will be a nice venue if so.

PNG by plenty!

Well I'll get to make it out to the game... HOKE HEY!!

I think the true blessing for D2 is LT and Katy are now D1.

I agree 100% LC hates defense but if they can force a shootout... well that's another issue. "Not good... LOL!". Steele will crush the Region 3 Champ but  Desoto is my overall favorite. Their QB is special.

I've watched it on Texanslive.com and it was not a block in the back. Announcers were also talking about the 6 man rush giving the O-line problems a few times on passing downs. Just calling what I noticed from the stands. I never said NC is a bad team I just pointed out what could have worked and how a few calls potentially changed the scoreboard outcome. Crosby is a good team and if Netherly was healthy he would have exploited NC lack of defensive speed. We (Manvel) played Crosby first game of the season ... I for one know they are a much better and more dangerous when he is healthy. Again just my opinion. 

Div 1 is ridiculous... I see a Katy vs NS matchup to decide the Region 3 Champs.
Div 2 is literally whoever wants it the most. Should be fun! Langham Creek scoring ability will be a problem. George Ranch appears to be hitting a stride. Dawson has the talent to win any given day. Friendswood has one the most exciting players in the bracket and of course LaPorte rough as heck. I can't pick anyone for this bracket.

Man that young QB from Westbrook is a beast.
