[quote name="Mr. Buddy Garrity" post="1310315" timestamp="1351266738"] crosby not making it past 1st round, along with big sis barbie's hill.  ;) [/quote]Better hope LCM rb can get 250 and 4 tds. Crosby isn't going to look like that often, 118 penalty yards and 3 turnovers. Just like you say "how did they beat BH", you'll say "how did KP hang with these boys?". Kind of just what we are, you just happened to catch us on an off night. Look at the setx statistics, nothing fraud or questionable about it. We've already played Dayton, SC, BH, and Ned and have those stats. KP had 341 total yards just like Dayton did when they played. It's all good though, looking forward to being 7-3 going in as the underdog to a 5-5 LCM.

[/quote]Look on hudl at Austin Walter highlights on Magnolia West, they suck but are going to the playoffs in 18-4a, struggled with Willis. I keep referring to Willis because they're the only common opponent. We beat them by 50 and y'all beat them by 38 since you like to compare scores, probably should have beat them by 60 though. I think we only have that one loss to Montgomery at GPISD when Leroy Dobbins scored 6 tds on nearly 40 carries as far as the northern districts go.

Well it was ugly at first but for the wrong team lol. Rookies..... Smh ::) [/quote]Only district close to being as tough in the region is 24-4a. Give me one tougher, you can make an argument for 17 but they're only two deep like 20. So yeah, 19-4a the toughest district in region 3 for the 2012 football season.

They said Aston fumbled inside the 20 when his knee was down and they showed it on the replay screen (at least once they did), KP scored. They said our player touched a punt and KP recovered. Replay shows he didn't though. The td they gave KP one their opening drive of the second half the kid fell out of the endzone and was laying on the ground, the nearest ref signaled incomplete but the umpire came running in and overruled for the td. The KP fans all said "augh", then the ref by the play got overruled and they started cheering. I bet Crosby had over 150 yards in penalties, most of which were extremely questionable. KP got 4 timeouts at the end of the game too, the sidejudge from Crosby's side came running on the field with 3 fingers up when KP called a timeout but the referee held up 2 and waved him off. They tried to give them the game but their kicker missed field goals, ours made his.

INSTANT CLASSIC. . . . . . Glad I don't have any ulcers because they would have just bursted. Typical Crosby, explosive athletes and plays but can't play clean.

I'll put the Crosby vs KP scores on this thread since I don't see a thread for updates.

I'm not sure what the 7th grade record is but they have several fine looking athletes. 8th grade lost one game 6-0 to NS but have two freaks that will play big time D1 football. Freshman team has some awesome athletes but no qb. JV is very good but jv's are usually the least relevant 'cause the sophs. that play varsity usually don't play jv. Crosby is poised to start pumping a lot more kids into the noteworthy collegiate programs with this passing attack. We've always had great athletes but now we have an offense to showcase them. It's already starting with Raelon Singleton and Justin Walter. Raelon didn't play last year 'cause of Flannigan, and Justin was playing DB. 

[quote name="mytwocents" post="1309341" timestamp="1351182075"] I just don't see Ned replacing that line and that secondary. Yeah I have no doubt they will be good but I don't see them being dc good. That's a lot of experience and size to replace in that defense. [b]Not to mention there starting qb.[/b][/quote]You should be worrying about replacing YOUR starting qb. He accounts for over half of y'alls offense. That kid covers up a lot of y'alls weaknesses with his ability to keep the offense on the field 3 or 4 yards at a time. After he graduates it's a lot more likely Vidor goes back to struggling to make the playoffs vs competing for district championships. Based on this year's stats so far Crosby has the best set of returning skill players in the district and I won't even make predictions like that. Coogs are going to return over 4,000 yards of offense and 8 of 11 starters, but I guess when you play in a district where 2-5 Central is still in it that's not that far of a reach.

[quote name="ECBucFan" post="1309242" timestamp="1351175784"] The larger classification of the school, the less impact of size disparity within the class. Imagine this, you add one extreme athlete to a 1A team. Likely, that 1A team is instantly transformed from a 5-5 team to maybe a 9-1 team. Add that same guy to a 5A team and he certainly helps, but would not push them from 5-5 to 9-1. In fact he probably just blends in well. Most all 5A have plenty of talent and depth, so increased enrollment helps some but not tremendously. Some 1A and 2A teams struggle just to put 11 good players on the field at one time, and they certainly lack depth. Any increase in in enrollment in the smaller ranks "counts" more.      [/quote]I see where you're trying to go with it and it's a valid point, but if Glenn Roberts played for Hardin they wouldn't be 6-1 right now. There's one of him in that entire 2a district. Does a single player make a bigger difference in the smaller classifications, of course but how likely are you to find him out of 25 other kids to choose from? Either way you have a point but I was talking about it more on the front end and the initial player pools. A school with 400 to choose from vs a school 215 to choose from has a bigger advantage over a school with 90 to choose from vs 50.

They are in the upper 900's and schools all over 3A and in their own district like Shepherd, Coldspring, and Tarkington are sitting with 400 or so less students than them. [/quote] I am not from either school........ and Shepherd, coldspring and tarkington do not have 400 or less... that would put them in 2A(435 i think is the number)... all three of these teams have 534+ while Huffman and Splendora have 962-.  yes that is 400 students... I see the difference but 534(shepherd)-962(huffman) is not that big of a difference in 3A. Kirbyville went 3 rounds deep several times with 442 in 3A and to the state game twice in 2A with 332. but putting them in a district that has 1700-1800 kids is a big difference... maybe with UIL making 6 divisions would even thing up a bit.... Lets hope...  I get tired of seeing small schools get their tail whipped on friday nights... [/quote] I'm not saying that smaller schools cant win, the Trojans just put it on the Falcons, but year in and year out with respect to reloading a team those numbers do make a difference. 970 kids (probably over 1000 now the way those areas are growing) vs. 450-500 kids can hardly be viewed as not making a difference. [/quote]It does make a lot of difference in 3a, but not as much as 4 or 5a. A school with 500 kids probably makes a football team from about a 50 kid pool (10%). You almost double the enrollment there and get another 45 kids to choose from. If 3 of your elite players get hurt at the 950 school you have 45 more to choose from than the 500 school. Now take a 4a with 1150 kids against a 4a with 2050 kids. The 1150 school starts with a pool of 115 kids, the 2050 school starts with 205. The nearly 100 extra kid advantage the large 4a possess is a bigger advantage than the large 3a due to the fact the 4a has greater percentage chances of finding high level/elite replacement talent as to not hurt the team. 5a is ridiculous, 2250 school with a 225 player pool against a 4500 school with a 450 pool. Those schools literally have double the talent other 5a schools have and injuries don't really effect them that much. I don't think it's a coincedence NS, Allen, Skyline, Westfield, and other schools with those 4000+ enrollments are almost always conteders.
