Willie Gaston is on the Reginald Samples trajectory. I’m a huge Kenny Harrison fan, I think he’s an elite leader of young men and am glad he was able to show some of the PAM fans that everything wasn’t his fault. That’s being said purely from a numbers standpoint he has almost twice the talent pool of Willie Gaston. NS may produce more high end talent but SC can hang with anybody in the state prospect wise so it’s not a talent issue. NS gets more consistent results because they’re just a better coached football team. I think you switch the head coaches and SC wins this game by close to 20 points with some of the offensive deficiencies NS has this year. Probably get to see this game again in a couple of months in CE King’s stadium.

Kingwood is going to sing more D1 prospects off of this year’s team than the ‘24 team. Even the ‘24 team was one point away from going 4-6, that’s what they always are. CE King just had a down year. I would be ecstatic to beat Humble and finish our first year in 6A at .500. I agree it’s pretty unlikely we win the other two but if we’re being honest, in this district 6/7 regular season wins is all Crosby is looking for anyway. CE King turned it into an art, what’s I’m operant for Crosby is purely the progress right now

Just a reminder that two years ago Kingwood was in the 6A-D2 regional finals. They have a first year head coach just like we do which is where the “should” might come from but this is definitely not a game/opponent at the beginning of the season most Crosby fans thought we could win the way we did? Losing Cade Haug hurt Kingwood but Crosby kind of dominated a game in which they really didn’t even play well.

Game is only 14-0 but Atascocita can’t even move the ball on NS. Wouldn’t at all be surprised if NS’ defense gives up less than 10ppg during the regular season which would be unreal in this district

You know, you should never take moral victories as a replacement for actual results but I was impressed by Crosby for about a quarter and a half against NS last week and thoroughly impressed by Crosby’s first half performance against the #9 team in the state. Can very well be said if we don’t fumble at the 5 yardline right there before the half this is a 17-10 game. May still get blown out as most would predict but the week to week progress from Coach Williams and company is impressive.

🤦🏾‍♂️

FBM used to be the SW Houston all-star team because there's about five schools that are within 5-6 miles they used to pull all the high end talent from, not to mention the notable transfers they used to get. They have better football playing demographics than North Shore so they really shouldn't have down years but Fort Bend ISD treats them like an HISD school. They also have a first year head coach which I'm sure is impacting them as well as people moving further out of the city to places like Fulshear, Iowa Colony, Arcola, etc. Could be another Alief Taylor in the making, smh

Out of all the games the Houston area teams played the only two scores I was legitimately surprised to see were North Shore beating Lancaster 35-0 and Deer Park beating Dawson 35-0. Dawson may have injuries or some other issue though? Still think Dickinson will win the district but DP looked awful good week 0.

From a recruiting standpoint this has to be the most talented team BH has ever fielded? BH has kids with P4 offers/committed at every position group that I can find beside OL and LB? Example of growth creating talent. Luke Babin(QB) - Composite #26 in the country at his position committed to Baylor Miles Spurlock(RB) - [Hidden Content] Keagan Morton(WR) - [Hidden Content] Raiden Cook(DL) - Composite #17 in the country at his position committed to Houston Chris Clark(DB) - [Hidden Content]

Wow, I had no idea we had played that many times? With 57 previous games maybe we have met while undefeated before? Start the 6A era with a clean slate in what I think is probably going to end up a standard non-district game.

I don’t know how many times these teams have played but I’m pretty sure they’ve never met when they’ve both been “undefeated”? On a serious note this is a good test for the new Crosby coaching staff against a program that’s probably a playoff team in their district. For Crosby to have any chance to finish higher than 6th in 17-6A we’re gong to have to figure out how to get stops and a team like BH that’s very good at scheming points is a great opportunity for the defensive staff to see where they stand. Of course BH is the favorite but I think Crosby will be more prepared than we have the last few years.

I think those games are purely played to suffice the “What state has the best high school football?” argument? Their argument is that out public schools have open enrollment which is like recruiting but apples and oranges is an understatement when it comes to what schools like Mater Dei, STA, St. Frances or Bishop Gorman do.

Having a different coach explains the result. Prieto could coach circles around Willis even playing with the short stack talent wise. Not saying Coach Williams is on Coach P’s level yet but he’s at least competent enough not to get embarrassed by teams he should beat.

He’s the defensive coordinator at Somerset now. Lol, I see Prieto did hire a couple of players off of his state finals team though.

I think North Shore is who you would choose if you had to select a team any given year. I still think STA would win 7/10 but North Shore is coached so well that they would probably have the best shot to mitigate the up and down talent cycles. For as good as our high school teams are it’s tough to compete against squads that can start a 3⭐️ at every position on the field
