LP looked downright horrible tonight. Lucky to get out with a win. Not sure what the deal was. I’d say looking ahead to Angleton & taking Crosby for granted. But, that wouldn’t give credit that’s due to Crosby, and I think it’s a cop out anyway. On the positive side, they’ll definitely refocus this week. Every team usually has a week like this they have to fight through. Just looked like both teams happened to have it happen on the same night. Angleton really hasn’t played anyone yet all year. So, we’ll see. All 3 of us have had an easy time these last few games. This game may be just what the doctor ordered for Crosby & LP. Another good thing…I didn’t see any serious injuries.

Messy game. But, the Crosby kids played their butts off. Nice looking RB & WR. Defense played well. Both offenses looked pretty offensive a lot of the time from what I saw. How many TO’s between the 2 teams? Anybody know? Also, PF’s?

Hopefully both teams got this out of their systems! Coaches are gonna do some rear end chewing this week.

Didn’t see first half. But, game looks sloppy in this half.

Stupid penalty by the freshman after a great pass breakup.

Missed chip shot FG by LP

Strange game

That was a pretty 4th down pass!

!!:28/14/3 50 yd TD pass to Smith

Just now able to sit down & tune in. Looks like it’s been a darn good game!

La Porte JV 29-8 over Crosby. Many of the top young players for LP are already on Varsity. So, not sure what the lower levels really mean anyway.

LP JV 29-8.

Conservative libertarian here. Small government, federalism advocate. Socially more liberal as in if it doesn’t harm, it is your business. Well known I’m not a Trump voter. But, not a hater either. He’s about like all the rest. Wouldn’t have near the impact they do if we’d quit asking the government to do things they have no business involving themselves in. Some things he’s doing well. Some things not so much. Also, another good reason to drop interest rates. As far as your A/C’s, if it’s been 3 years since you replaced your capacitor/s, it’s time. Even if they haven’t failed yet, they’re probably drawing way too much to kick on unit, & it will hit your bill for at least 10%. They’re all made in China now, and only last a couple years at best. Just have a friend—or call someone—and have them check the amps being drawn if you don’t know how to safely.

Yep. LP hasn’t played Pasadena yet like y’all and Angleton to pad stats more. To give y’all credit though, you’ve actually played a tough team in Iowa Colony. Angleton’s only played against 1 team with a winning record all year, and that was New Caney Porter…the team LP just blew away playing their backups in the 2nd quarter. It’s entirely possible—and probable—Angleton will be a 1 or 2 seed for PO’s and only have played one team all year that finishes over .500 before the PO’s. Since LP’s early loss to PN-G, people have decided LP isn’t as good as last year. Similar to NS & SOC. Funny thing is, LP is actually scoring more, giving up less, and are more balanced as an offense. They’ve also been able to play backups quite a bit. This whole year has been geared for a slow progression towards the PO’s. I don’t expect a score like last year in our game. But, I do see about a 3 score difference at least. But, that’s more from improvement on y’all’s end than a drop off from LP. Y’all almost had Angleton last year, and I’m not counting y’all out of that game this year. I think Willis is doing okay at Crosby. He has y’all moving in the right direction.

My thoughts exactly. I like the Top 3 in 11-5A's chances in the first round this year better than last.

The best stats I could find for Crosby with same opponents as last year: Last year through 7 games: 198 points for, 98 points against This year through 7 games: 268 points for, 130 points against This year Crosby averages about 132 ypg rushing, and 203 ypg passing The Cougars are definitely scoring, and moving the ball better this year than last. Watching them through the year, the improvement is noticeable.

[Hidden Content] Need to read the details. There’s a clearer explanation in The Wall Street Journal today. But, it’s behind a paywall. Note: My wife and I are on ACA & have been since 2018. We’re very familiar with the positives and negatives.

La Porte Comparisons with Same Opponents- Last year through 7 games: 241 points for, 170 points against This year through 7 games: 319 points for, 164 points against La Porte vs. Crosby Last Season: LP 52 Crosby 6

Matt said it was a typo. It was supposed to be LP by 12. If it's that close, y'all will be able to play with 12-5A a lot better than last year--here or there. If La Porte isn't looking ahead, I don't think it will be that close. But, anything can happen. We'll see. I'm just glad it will be streamed now. I can't get my better half to the games any more, and I can't leave her alone for that long.

According to DCTF computer, Crosby by 27. They may want to reboot.

I can’t find it on Texan Live yet. I thought all Crosby home games were on Texan Live. Still trying to find out. Must be a big upset brewing since DCTF has Crosby listed as a 27 point favorite right now. @AggiesAreWe @Matthew328

The safe bet is that will be Crosby. But, we'll have to see if they can upset either La Porte or Angleton. Anything's possible on any given game day.

Crosby vs La Porte isn't going to be on Texan Live? I thought all Crosby games were broadcast on TL at Cougar Stadium...

I'll repost what I posted elsewhere. LP has been using a Big Boy package with 2 extra OL at the split RB positions with Simon in Wildcat for short yardage. If you thought Simon was hard to stop in a regular set, well...lol Many won't recognize the O now. It's multiple formation. Still run heavy with misdirection & Slot T. But, also Pistol, Power I and Spread. If you stack the box (which everyone has been trying) they'll change the formation now. They'll also do something unheard of for LP. They'll throw the ball on any down. LP is averaging about 375 ypg rushing and 140 ypg passing with 33 rushing TD's and 10 passing TD's. So, more of a mix than past LP teams. Simon still gets his. He had another 227 at 11.9 ypc & a TD again last week. He's averaging about 235 ypg with 20 TD's & over 1600 yards so far at 9.1 ypc. But, he's not the lone focal point now. Smith is commanding double teams at the WR spot, and still averaging almost 100 ypg. He picked up his 8th offer last week as a Soph. with Vanderbilt adding to Arizona State, UofH, Nebraska, TCU, Texas Tech, New Mexico, and UTSA. LP has probably punted less than 10 times in the last 4 games total. I would say around 6-8 times. But, I'd have to review all the game film again to verify. As typical with Berneathy & staff, they've adapted, modified, and improved as the season has progressed. They treat pre-district for what it is. A learning/teaching period. They don't look anything like what they did against PN-G in the last pre-district game.
