Cougar14.2

Very tough season but very proud of this team. Lots of serious injuries and could've easily quit after being blown out by Kingwood Park which is where I actually thought we were at that point in the season. I think there are some seniors that next year's team will benefit from having graduated. Last time we finished 6-5 with a first round loss was 2011 and that kicked off a good stretch of football for us. I think we're going to have more kids next year whose main focus will be on winning versus receiving individual accolades. As far as the game, the things that needed to go wrong for us to get blow out did but after being blown out multiple times this year this result was probably more probably than possible. I know the Longview fans feel great about their team, as they should, but this version of LV isn't some all-timer. Outside of running back they're not better than the Aledo team we lost to in the title game at any position. DBs are their strongest position group and they're still not on the level that Aledo team was with the Allen brothers. Going to be hard to win state with a QB going 2-10 for 29 yards on a defense that's not that great. You can blame it on the weather but I said earlier in the year that it would be hard to win with Allen playing QB and I wouldn't say anything different now. If Crosby had DBs that would've just turned around Allen would've thrown 3 gimmie' interceptions. LV didn't complete one pass to a wide receiver, so while Hale is great he's not going to beat you with Allen playing QB. Those other receivers are a non-factor, they really don't even get meaningful targets. To LV's credit though, they figured out how to get Hale the ball in other ways for him to be effective. LV may well win state but I think it's going to be tough for them to score consistently on anybody that Tatum can't run the number up on, like it was against Lancaster. Going to be interesting to see if LV can beat them at a neutral site? I think that game and the potential Aledo game would be their toughest test in the state regardless of if they were to make the title game.

I’m good whatever it is. Boys just rode four hours to play in the cold, wet rain and didn’t lay down. We’re 6-4, we’re supposed to get blown out. Y’all definitely ain’t state title quality and this is nothing like a “greatest team ever”. Not even being facetious, almost ever Manvel team we’ve played is better than this

Or if we don’t botch the snap after y’all fumble on 4th down we probably score again. Lots of what ifs

Neither does the score about what y’all were supposed to be doing to us. We couldn’t block La Porte and FB Marshall’s d-line is better than yours just like I said

According to y’all it should’ve already been over though

Man, if Myles would just throw the freaking ball this would be a completely different game right now. He’s holding the ball and letting the rush get to him when he has open receivers. I wouldn’t mind seeing Eudy

Dude, you can literally go post my entire feed in the political forum. I don’t give a flying bleep. You don’t think I knew people like you would go through it? I don’t care. You see I give it and take it every day on there. It’s nowhere near the denigration that’s the political forum on this site though. Forget a nerve, I must’ve hit your spinal cord a long time ago they way you’re obsessed with all that is me.

That’s an interesting take considering some of the things posted in the forum where y’all talk about that stuff. People already knew who I was and who I am. I know it’s hard to believe but there’s things I care about a lot more and research a lot more fervently than high school football statistics. Losing voting rights is a lot more important than losing to Longview in my opinion. I know you have this odd obsession with all things me but we’ve been asked not to discuss non-football related items in this forum and I’ll oblige. I wouldn’t mind discussing it with you in person though.

IDK, was looking and didn’t see a recent 4 star LV has produced on the DL like PAM has in Jordan Thomas? Y’all are very good but I honestly hope you aren’t comparing LV’s defensive line to the four power 5 kids on CE King’s. They don’t have LV’s numbers because they’ve had to play Allen, North Shore, Summer Creek and Atascocita. LV wouldn’t have near the numbers they do now if they played those teams either.

You should see the film of the sophomore running back that has led Lake Creek to a 10-0 season. He’s sitting on nearly 2k yards heading into the playoffs. Much like Lake Creek LV uses that running game to try to hit big play-action passes. What worries me is that they run those play-action passes from under center like Carthage did to us and we continuously got lost. Carthage had 0 total rushing yards that game and we were still bitting on those fakes because we couldn’t figure out assignments. Hopefully we don’t have similar assignment breakdowns

They finished with the same overall record and in the same place in their district once they had to play other schools with 3k+ kids. Beating Crosby gets exaggerated on here at times. The schools do have very similar athletes, their attendance zones are literally across the street from each other, but North Shore has over 1k more kids than CE King does and also has a better coach. King won’t take the next step until they do something about their offense which is why their starting QB from last year, Nemiah Glover, transferred to New Caney and now has them 10-0 going into the playoffs.

Yeah, but it’s not Dylan Spencer - Texas Kam Bizor - Colorado Jo’Laison Landry - Utah Or 6’1” 300lb K’mard Kimble who will also have FBS offers after this year like we saw at CE King. I don’t think we’ll be destroyed at the LOS like we were by those kids. Those are good numbers for the LV kids but Crosby’s two edge players last year, Tyler Cooper and McCoy Casey, had something like 36 sacks just between those two so it’s not really anything that jumps off the page. The talent LV has on the defensive line is pretty similar to PA Memorial, it’s LV’s scheme that’s tough to beat.

LV and Lancaster are better than the teams in our district but next best four teams are probably all in our district. From all the film I’ve watched MN is probably about as good as Baytown Lee.

It’s generally agreed that the SEC is the best conference in the country due to them have the best collections of players in the country. This past recruiting cycle 84% of of their signees came from a demographic that only makes up 13.5% of the US population, so that’s what the demographics have to do with FBS talent production. I used the SEC as an example only because off the top of my head I know Devon Achane, Barton Clement, Chris Marshall and Avery Helm from FBM are all currently at SEC schools while LV’s top receiver is committed to Alabama. LV’s running back has around 25 offers and may sign with an SEC school too. Not a coincidence those SEC schools recruit the same Texas high schools every year.

Fort Bend Marshall has close to 200 more black kids than LV does and since that’s where, judging from both of their starting 22’s, they select the vast majority of those starters from you’re completely wrong to think that FBM doesn’t have the same caliber athletes as they do. They literally dominate 5A track and field at the state level. None of that has anything to do with how well they play or how well coached they are but as far as who gets to sign in the fall there’s a statistical correlation unless the kids you coach live in million dollar houses.

Lol, just go get on truth social dude.

Another poster made the comment about FB Marshall not having the same “caliber” of athletes as LV. I gave him the statistical reason that wasn’t true by pointing out that 90+% of LV’s football team comes from one demographic while 100% of FBM’s do and that FBM produces more FBS talent on average out of that demographic. Meaning his assumption on athletic quality was a fallacy. Don’t lose your religion. You’re new here, me using statistics to explain stuff to people is something that been going on for a decade here.

Yeah, feels very 41-17-ish if we can’t go execute. Four hour bus ride into a cold, rainy and hostile environment. It has all the makings. Luckily we’ve executed decently recently so maybe that makes the long bus ride with us. I think the assumption is that Crosby is going to give up a bunch of points because we did to La Porte but any Crosby fans know that those running offenses like Vidor, Elgin, Liberty Hill, La Porte, Jasper, etc. The only tight run offenses we’ve ever had any success against the last decade have been Angleton and Port Lavaca. LV is multiple with pro and spread offense so it’s something Crosby is better at defending.

I think he just thought it was something else before the video? Now he’s gone to the “it’s irrelevant” mode which is doubly odd since he’s post it numerous threads throughout the year, not just Crosby threads. I would think grown men are above continuously trolling for likes but I do see it pretty often on the college message boards between the students.

So what? BH was the #4 seed last year and knocked off state ranked #1 FB Marshall in Fort Bend. FBM had a 6’3” 5 star receiver who’s now at A&M and another 6’3” receiver who signed FBS somewhere. Their d-ends are currently committed to TCU and Baylor, their middle linebacker is committed to Arkansas State, one of their corners is committed to UH now and they have another DB with P5 offers. They had all those kids last year when BH beat them too. Their football players also won another team state track and field title last year. As I continue to say though, it doesn’t mean we won’t go up there and lose by 30. You usually get to 6A-D1 level before you really top FBS athletes like that. P.S. - Something old 14.2 would post to add substance to his point that new 14.2 just leaves alone. LV and FB Marshall are both basically all black as far as the football product on the field. I see #99 and the kicker for LV who aren’t. Assuming that those other kids are who you select your starting 22 from, in 2018 which is the last year I see stats for, LV had like 715 of those kids while FBM had 895. Meaning it’s no surprise that they have more prospects than LV even though they have a smaller overall enrollment.

Cool, just letting you know selling woof tickets. Obviously you do since you post it in literally EVERY Crosby thread. Good luck to you boys this week.

If Crosby can’t manufacture some type of running game we’re probably going to lose pretty substantially. I think we’re going to have to run for ~ 200 yards and have right around 400 yards total unless we get a couple of turnovers we can capitalize on. With the offensive line being what it is, I think the only way we can hope to run it with any effectiveness is to be successful in the screen game and cause LV to have to commit more players to the perimeter which gets them out of the box. Lancaster was pretty successful in the quick passing game and the sophomore QB looked good when he had to run it against the LV defense. Myles has also looked a lot better since our receivers have gotten healthy and some personnel changes made up front. Still going to be a daunting task to block #99 and #45

Alright man, only because I’m shallow though🤣 When you get bumped up to project manager we can discuss contracts and verify the second part of the claim🤙🏾

With all of our games being on Texan Live and it being a rainy, cold night I don’t think a normal Crosby crowd is going to make the trip? Relatively the same distance but a way harder drive than it would be for the Crosby fans to Lancaster where a bunch of our fans would’ve just spent the night in Dallas. Disappointing to say the least but these are the consequences of a sub-par season.

I think your assumption is that Crosby is your typical bi-district opponent? We may well be but it’s going to be interesting to see how well we can match up now that we’re relatively healthy. The only position group I would give Crosby the nod at over LV is QB, if Beaumont Westbrook doesn’t fumble late I wouldn’t even give it to you at coach. Hard not to be confident when we got blow out by Kingwood Park though🤷🏾‍♂️
