I wouldn’t underestimate the Weiss run game. Plus, at almost 70% completion pct., their pass game will still probably be effective to a greater extent than most. Wind may be the only issue that would play a part.

I’ve noticed—this year—NFHS seems to be keeping what they consider ‘prime games’ to themselves unless Victory+ bumps them off. Smart business move on their part. Leave a few for Texan Live, but keep big games for themselves to make folks subscribe.

Weather may play a factor on Saturday evening. Forecast is showing 80% chance of thunderstorms. If the game time gets moved up for some reason, will someone let us know here? I'd really like to see this game.

It's showing to be on NFHS.

To me, BH has a chance because of a fairly well balanced O. Maybe they can keep Weiss a little off balance on D. At the least, Weiss will have to respect the BH pass game, and won’t be able to just load the box. BH’s issue will be if Weiss plays up tempo all game, and doesn’t give the BH D a chance to sub or rest. Their tempo can be a killer. They snap the ball with less than 10 seconds gone on the play clock, and catch your D with poor matchups and a tired secondary. I see the winner needing to score in the 40’s at a minimum. Both teams may be in the 40’s! Should be a fun game to watch. Which team gets more possessions may be the key. These are just my observations from watching both teams. I will say Simper knows how to play a shoot out coming from the Cy district. So, the BH staff won’t be caught flat-footed. I’m still going with Weiss. But—barring TO’s—I don’t see it being easy. Weiss is still a young team though. I keep waiting for them to make some youthful mistakes. So far, they really haven’t.

It’s going to be hard to beat the entertainment value of BH vs. AA. Best game of the year I’ve seen so far. Fans of either team may have been nervous wrecks. But, as a football fan just watching for enjoyment, it was a great game.

Vype Houston & Houston Inside High School Sports both cover Crosby & BH. Both media outlets consider y'all GHA teams. I've also seen both mentioned on the local TV stations. Y'all are pretty much the end of the road heading east though.

Fair point. Individual matchups within the game also matter. It's just another comparison to use to evaluate. Neither right or wrong.

Y'all have to understand I'm not disparaging any team. I'm just comparing with the data that's available. Shoulda, woulda, coulda's don't count. They can't be measured.

I tried. I can't find his stats. I would say he accounts for--probably--the second most O for his team. I'm assuming that's primarily rushing. But, that's me going off games I remember viewing. I can't verify.

Lufkin is a perfectly fine measuring stick since they are the constant that 3 teams have played. It doesn't matter how good/bad they were. BH, PAM, and Weiss all played them. I could easily argue Weiss played them when they should have been at their most experienced, and beat them worse than either BH or PAM. Lufkin fans could give the best assessment of the three teams they've played. But, scores would indicate that Weiss was more dominant against them than either BH or PAM.

To each their own. I could say the same about all 4 of the QB's left playing in the region. But, the Weiss QB accounts for way more of his team's O than any of the other three with almost 3900 yards of offense between passing (over 3500 yds & 49 TD's), and rushing (almost 300 yards & 10 TD's). He also completes his passes at a much higher pct. than either of the other three at right at 68%. CS QB (Johnson) completes less than 60% of his passes, has thrown for almost 1300 yards, and rushed for over 900 yards. He's accounted for 32 total TD's. Very impressive. But, not close. The numbers tell a different story.

Probably wouldn’t have heard him. Too busy clinging to my guns and religion.

PAM 30-0 over Lufkin. But, 10-0 at half if I remember correctly. Weiss 52-14. Game was basically over before halftime. Lufkin scored a garbage TD with about a minute left.
