I agree, and Brenham just knocked off Georgetown which was kind of surprising. Makes me feel like like College Station could be in trouble next week against against Magnolia. I hope you're right though, have a good feeling our defense will perform even better against a normal type offense.

One observation I would make is that PNG better figure out some kind of way run the ball with someone other than the qb. PNG plays solidly together but they don't really have anybody that will be a matchup problem for Willowridge. For instance, they were able to pressure BH with the deep ball in one on one situations. Not saying they won't scheme people open but they're not going to have any advantages personnel wise like they did in a couple of situations on BH. I think PNG wins the game because Willowridge isn't what you usually get out of the Fort Bend district. One of the rare times schools like PNG and Crosby will both have higher enrollment totals than their Fort Bend counterparts when they match up. PNG plays better defense than they did against BH and they probably get this one.

Both teams are coming into this one 9-2. Crosby has elevated their defensive play going into the postseason while Marshall is coming off a 58 point performance against Houston Sterling in the first round. Could be another good matchup for Crosby. Marshall loves to run it with the qb and pair of sophomore running backs but they also average about 105 passing yards per game at a slightly better than 50% completion rate. Another good thing for Crosby is that Marshall has given up 27+ points in 5 of 11'games including 63 to Manvel, 48 to Elkins, 35 to Texas City and even gave up 455 yards of offense to Santa Fe the last game of district play. Marshall also had 14 penalties for 131 yards in that game though. Lot of talent at Marshall but I think this is a good matchup Crosby. I think we're playing a little sharper on both sides of the ball and you have to give Riordan the coaching advantage in this one.

I think you have to say so. IMO if Westbrook plays in that Garland ISD district they go undefeated just like Sachse did this year. One thing about playoff football is that the running game travels. Problem is that WB has given up some big numbers to teams that can throw it around the yard which LC can. I just think personnel wise WB probably couldn't ask for a better matchup at this point in the season.

Just a bad draw geographically from the UIL. Happens all the time to at least two districts in the Houston area, Westbrook just happened to get put in one this alignment. Palestine is 115 miles away from LC also so it's not like they have a huge advantage. Westbrook just has to go play their game.

Crosby vs Fort Bend Marshall Friday @ 7pm Clyde Abshier Stadium in Deer Park

Pretty salty W for Kevin Flannigan and the Bruins. I think if you told Brook fans they were going to play in a district with the Woodlands and Lufkin, draw Longview in the first round and STILL win ten game everybody would've taken it. Already a good season for the Bruins, interesting to see how they show up and play as the favorite now.

PAM better put Porter away early, Jim Holley is not the type of coach you want your team to be in tight games with in the 4th quarter. Porter is getting a home game in their first playoff appearance in school history, Texan Drive will be rocking. Especially with New Caney not playing until Saturday. Do any Porter or NC fans know if the other receiver who hasn't been playing is going to be available tonight? I still think PAM gets the win but I like Porter's chances a lot better with him out there.

I think Crosby's aggression is part of what makes us so good but unfortunately I also think its what makes us factor in personal foul yardage before the game even starts. Being a program a lot of people want to beat I'm sure our kids get more friction that the average team too though. For Crosby we've played relatively clean the last two games against good teams which is an optimistic trend moving forward this time of year.

It's hard to play a game in a phone booth all night long and not have some extracurricular activity at some point. I think both sides got flags thrown on them fairly when they played beyond the whistle. As for all the other missed calls, I think the refs just really went out there and just let the kids play. Both team could've had more holding penalties called on them, I thought Vidor's slot back got away with early movement several times and Crosby probably got away with playing past the whistle at least two times. It was playoff football though, I don't think the refs were calling anything that wasn't egregious.

I think JT gets this one in a somewhat high scoring game. The last thing you should do with who beat who at this point in the season but I just can't get past that 70 piece Westbrook put on Lufkin in their home stadium. I think JT's 9-1 moving back up after realignment was even more impressive than Westbrook's unexpected 9-1 record. Still think this region goes through the winner of the Collins vs Cedar Ridge game though, which the winner of this game probably gets in the third round. Very even region strength wise once you get to the area round.

For the Crosby fans still awake. Utah is playing AZ State on Fox Sports 1, beginning of the fourth quarter and Raelon Singleton has over 100 receiving yards and 3 tds.

So am I.

Crosby gets Fort Bend Marshall Friday in Deer Park @ 7pm. Fort Bend Marshall beat Houston Sterling 58-12 tonight. They also lost to Manvel 63-6. Good break for Crosby to get another game on this side of town.

I don't think they're complete but this is probably the best you're going to get from the Chronicle. Box score: [Hidden Content]

+1

21-5A 1-0 It's the playoffs and Central definitely has the athletes but it's hard to think they can come to a district stadium and beat this year's New Caney team. Porter has to play perfect to beat PAM and they showed they couldn't the last two weeks and got beat twice, even with a home game I only give them a 25% chance to win. PNG and BH will definitely be worth the price of admission. I hear a lot of talk about stopping the qb but PNG won't be anything BH hasn't seen over here at least twice. Problem is that they lost two of those games by nearly identical scores to start and basically end district play. I don't think it's a drastic difference but I think 21-5A plays a little bit better defense overall than our neighbors and that might be where BH has the advantage. 21-5A teams tend not to do as well when we cross the river in the postseason, tough trip to Beaumont for BH. This is what BH paid Westeberg for though. I think 21-5A goes at least 3-1 if BH pulls it out.

You don't need any crow, you just picked your team to win. You didn't accuse me of making innuendo comments like Realville.

That's what happens when you're trying to get one out while turning out of the stadium in front of a police officer. How's that ride home of the season going?

+1, I agree with every word you said. I was also going to be conciliatory until the classless int thing. These people have been getting their arses handed to them on a regular basis ever since but for 5 years they ran their mouth. Five years ago I told them they wouldn't win another first round game for at least another 5. How sweet it is Crosby beat them that 5th year. We agree on absolutely nothing but I have mad respect for Robandana and VPirates02, especially all the times they could have chimed in and didn't. Now some dude with lover in his name gets on here and talks about a kid being classless for playing to the whistle, just like his team gets a bunch of credit for. Taking the points down was was just a suffix to stopping the game up multiple times, if a kid is classless for playing the game then so is that grown man for obstructing it. When have you seen some crap done like that over here except Dayton who also get called out for it? Good football game though, both sides played playoff caliber football.

It's also stupid to complain about kids playing the game. Stop trying to score and we would've also.

Exactly. I told some of the guys in the stands I had been watching #52 on film and he was a filthy player. Crosby started whipping his but and he got some false starts called on him. Crosby had one player in player personal foul and Vidor had two. Crosby had one offsides, Vidor had multiple offsides and false starts. Looks to me like Crosby was the far more disciplined team.

If they didn't want anymore points out on them they should have taken a knee on offense at her end of the game When hey knew it wasn't in reach anymore.

Get in the car and go back across the river dude, your season is over now. You do t have anything else to complain about.

Wow, how classless by Jeff Mathews. Decline he penalty and go home. Dude should have had multiple penalties called on him.
