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.

La Porte will need to avoid looking ahead to the much anticipated Angleton rematch next week, and focus entirely on Crosby. Crosby is good enough--and motivated enough--to make them regret it if they make that mistake.

La Porte (4-0, 6-1) travels to Cougar Stadium to take on a surging Crosby Cougar team (4-0, 4-3) that's coming off a 57-0 shellacking of Fort Bend Kempner. The Cougars have been steadily improving each week, and are executing very well in all 3 phases of the game. They feature a fairly balanced attack with a very strong, opportunistic defense, and dangerous special teams. Jr. QB Robison is having a solid year behind an OL that's been giving him enough time to make some plays downfield. La Porte has become a team some may not recognize after line-up changes, and scheme additions. They are no longer simply a power run/misdirection team. They alternate QB's between Sr. Saenz, and Soph. Wells with solid passing game results. Teams that load the box to slow down the Bulldog rushing attack have paid the price by getting beat by an effective passing attack featuring TE Reynolds, WR's Smith and Godbolt-Carr, and RB's Simon and Ruffin out of the backfield. LP's defense has recorded a defensive TD in each of the last three games. Will the Dawgs lock their jaws, and clamp down on the Cats, or will Cat Scratch Fever take the night?

Week 4 District Scores: Crosby 57 Kempner 0 Angleton 67 Kingwood Park 13 Pasadena 0 Friendswood 77 New Caney Porter 21 La Porte 67 District Standings: Angleton (4-0) (7-0) La Porte (4-0) (6-1) Crosby (4-0) (4-3) New Caney Porter (2-2) (4-3) Friendswood (1-3) (3-4) Kingwood Park (1-3) (3-4) Kempner (0-4) (3-4) Pasadena (0-4) (1-6) Weekly Rundown: Week 4 is best described as the have's and the have nots. The top three teams remained undefeated, and cemented a PO spot with blowout wins against their competition. Angleton, La Porte, and Crosby will all advance to Bidistrict against 12-5AD1 competition. The District Championship, and seeding will be decided in these last three district games between the three. First up, La Porte will travel to Cougar Stadium to take on the resurgent Crosby Cougars. The Cougars are having a similar season to La Porte last year with 3 tough losses to begin the season against solid competition, followed by 4 straight district wins. They will enter the contest after coming off a shutout of Kempner, and are looking to pull off an upset of the Bulldogs to get a home PO game in the first round. La Porte will be looking to continue their district dominance--with their last district loss coming in early October of 2023--and stay on track for their third straight District Championship. Meanwhile, Angleton will face a Kempner team still looking for their first district win, and should remain undefeated. Another game with PO implications will be the Mustangs of Friendswood travelling to Randall Reed Stadium to take on the New Caney Porter Spartans. Friendswood must win out to take the 4 seed and make the PO's. If the games go as expected, New Caney Porter, Friendswood, and Kingwood Park will all be sporting 2-3 district records. This Week's Key Game - There are actually two key games this week. La Porte vs. Crosby at Cougar stadium will be a PO seeding game. The winner will keep pace with Angleton--who should have little issue with a Kempner squad at home. The second key game will be Friendswood at New Caney Porter, as it will be a must-win game for Friendswood to keep their PO hopes alive.
