Can we stop calling Porter a growth spurt team? Really not an accurate statement. To me, it does a disservice to the kids who have been here through all the struggles and worked their butts off to get to this point to call them a growth spurt team and act as if they are winning because a bunch of move ins came in.

It was 19-0 at the end of the first quarter.  Some players still out with injuries.  Back-up quarterback was in and out beginning in the 2nd quarter.  When is the last time you saw Coach Rio run the score up on someone if he didn't have to ?  Game was still sloppy though.  

Well there was the time Crosby beat Porter 70-0 trying to break a season scoring record if memory serves.

Wow! Ummmm... grats to Crosby on becoming the 7th team ever to lose to Porter in their storied history including the likes of Houston Scarborough, Caney Creek, Sam Rayburn, Galena Park, Brazosport and Huntington bringing Porter's All-Time winning percentage up to 17%. Go Porter!

This is a different animal completely. 

Heard someone mention the school growth. This wasn't about move ins and the changing population. By in large all these kids were at Porter, had a few that didn't play previously that decided to play this year. This was a group of kids buying in and working their butts to become a better football team. Also, a fantastic job by the coaching staff. 

A lot of people trying to bring down Crosby. They were beat up and Porter is way better than everybody thought. Wasn't a blind squirrel finding a nut. Porter has some guys.

Where is that guy that called Porter awful?

May I change my answer to "mediocre"

I'll just say it is a process but they are heading in the right direction.

Caney Creek and Porter are awful

Kingwood Park and Humble are consistently inconsistent

Porter will be vastly improved this season. May or may not factor into the playoff discussion but will be much better than awful.

Cedar Hill won. Mansfield went to the state semi finals last year so it isn't as if they were playing a bad football team.

I cant believe this.

Believe it.  LaVega is good, but not as good as Silsbee.  Nor do I think they are as good as HJ.
[/quote] HJ was the best team I have seen in 3A this year still can't believe the way LV won and that game finished.

When you have guards as good as Silsbee who can get to the rim like they can you will have a chance to beat anyone. That is showing in this regional tournament. Talk about back from the dead to the doorstep of the state tournament look how close Athens was to winning it last night with 2 free throws with 4 seconds left in a tie game.
