What’s different about them? They have less FBS prospects than FB Marshall does. They’re better coached but they have the same caliber athletes at PAM does this year. They’re great no doubt but they’re not atypical like the 2020 Denton Ryan team.

Well, if you were a Crosby fan before the season you were hoping this is the matchup you would get . . . You were just hoping it would be on Black Friday. It’s disappointing that we don’t get another game or two to improve before a matchup like this but those are the consequences of a a sub-par season. Still very proud of this team for overcoming adversity to get to this point, last time we were in this situation in 2018 we lost to Santa Fe and had our playoff streak broken. On the football side of things there’s really not a bunch of analysis. Longview has played very well most of the time this year and Crosby hasn’t. Neither team will be anything both haven’t already seen this year. I think Crosby’s best opportunity for a victory is to go try to manufacture 31 points and hope to win the turnover/penalty battle. The obvious rebuttal would be that Longview hasn’t given up 31 all year but we’ve also heard that multiple times in the past from different teams. Crosby will show up and hopefully play a clean, hard game and let the chips fall where they may.

I really didn't see 6 or 7 dropped interceptions? I saw Nelson and one of the other dbs drop one but the others looked like plays that just weren't made. I thought that sophomore QB from Lancaster played well against LV, 19-32 for 206 with one TD 0 ints and 88 rushing yards. If any of his other receivers besides #0 could catch they probably leave Lobo Stadium with a win. LV was fortunate Lancaster sucks in the kicking game too. You don't win many when your QB goes 4-10 for 70 yards with one TD and two picks. LV also got a break on the TD he threw to Hale because either the LT/TE on that side wasn't set before the ball was snapped. To your point though, good teams prevail even despite those issues. I think part of the reason we've looked so bad on the o-line this year is because the receivers have been banged up, meaning you can just play a bunch of guys in the box and confuse the linemen as to what their assignments should be. The receivers have been getting healthier in recent weeks which is why I think we've thrown for nearly 1,000 yards and 12 tds with 0 ints over the last three games. As far as blocking LV I think y'all have to commit personnel to the box for that to be an issue. LV doesn't have a Kam Bizor or Dylan Spencer like CE King did that could dominate individual matchups and they don't have the speed like the like the FB Marshall kids on the d-line committed to Baylor and TCU. What they do have is a great back end that buys time for kids like Billy Smith who's probably an average player at 90% of schools in the state but great in LV's scheme. All in all I think Crosby will be ok on offense if we can throw the ball accurately to open receivers while avoiding turnovers and penalties. Crosby struggles with the veer/slot-t type run games, not really your typical spread run game. LV runs the ball from a spread pretty often but when they don't they're usually running power and zone out of a pro set. The one play Crosby struggles with out of that set is the counter and LV doesn't really run it, or at least not in the Lancaster and Tyler games I've watched so far. I think Crosby will load the box and try to make Allen beat us with his arm. Hopefully we can pick him off a time or two like Lancaster did when he tries to force it to Hale. Like I've already said, we could come up there and get crop dusted from whistle to whistle but I could also see Crosby coming up there and dropping 30+ on LV and having them on the ropes in the second half. I guess that's why we have to line it up though.

No they wouldn’t be. Porter would have a 5-3 district record just like Crosby and finish 4th due to a head to head loss since BH would already be eliminated.

It is what it is. If there was anybody from this district that had a chance to make a game of it with Longview it was back then and still is Crosby. One sentiment I can relay to you coming from the kids and staff is that nobody is scared. We’re also relatively healthy now. Still may get blown out considering how we’ve played to date but we’ll still be there at kickoff. I’ve watched the Lancaster vs Longview game 2.5 times so far and I would go so far as to say Lancaster would be the tougher matchup for Crosby because of their team speed. I looked up all the players in LV’s lineup while watching the game and noticed they’re pretty much the same size as Crosby outside of WR meaning we can probably avoid a CE King type situation. They’re just well coached with a bunch of good football players. Not too long ago our DC was the DC at Marshall so he’s seen LV’s offense a few times. Hopefully the injuries benefit Crosby in the sense that most of our film from this year is useless. I think there’s a good chance Crosby goes out to East Texas and plays their best game of the year if that’s the matchup we end up with.

Glad someone could explain this properly. Your assumption is also correct that Porter only needs to win by three points to get into the playoffs, at which point Crosby moves into 3rd place and plays Lancaster in bi-district. BH can still finish 2nd with a KP loss and a win over Porter or completely miss the playoffs with a loss to Porter by 3 points or more.

Lol, KP gave us the ball on the 15 yard line and we still couldn’t score

Just an average Crosby team would’ve had this KP team down 42-10 at the half. KP literally called a timeout at the end of the half with Crosby in possession of the ball because they didn’t think we could pick up a first down, smh

KP is terrible and I’m still not sure we shouldn’t be losing.

Man, we’ve been looking so suspect they just went ahead and parachuted in help before we even kicked off, smh

Well, wish he would’ve came in January. Seismic for next year though.

We’re good. We can talk about it as long as they need to. We’ll see who’s still talking in November though

23 carries for 92 yards. Well over 100 yards without the callbacks. Didn’t score and that’s kind of all that matters in a tight one

That’s very good and important win for Nederland. FBW is probably going to be a little better later in the year. Definitely something the Dogs can build off of.

This is going to be another very interesting game. Kingwood Park looked better on film against Sterling than BH did. Not sure the last time I've seen a Crosby team only averaging 25ppg nearly halfway through the season? Offense needs to play better this week or we're going to be in another bind. KP has the best QB/WR combination in the district and some legit trench guys. Their QB is good at escaping pressure and has a big arm. I think Yarborough will be healthy enough to get his first carries of the year this week and Womack should be a full go on offense but now Roberson is back down. Like the move made on the offensive line but execution has been our real issue this year, not necessarily the personnel. Throw in the fact that we historically play bad on homecoming anyway and here we are.

None of that surprised me. BH scored 21 regulation points, I never expected Crosby to shut them out. Defense gave up the same amount to Baytown Lee in regulation. Our offense just executed so poorly and left so many plays on the field that we cost them the game. Coach Poth had a hell of a night last night but if the opposing QB throws three picks and still outplays the one on your team, well thats going to be an issue.

I’m not sure yet? We usually fish about a mile west of where 87 turns onto the peninsula. I’ll hit you up when we get down there though.

Yeah, we’ve been killing the reds and specs in the surf out there. Lol, little 14 said he needed to “get his mind off things”.

I was dead on. We picked the QB off three times and should’ve been 4 if not for that phantom defensive holding way on the opposite side of the field on that first pick that would had us 1st and goal early in the first quarter. That first non-pick was a break on the ball intended for Williams. We just gave up 21 regulation points for the 3rd straight week and still lost last night. Smh, I’m going fishing

I had 17 text messages from BH parents last night after the game. I made some very low brow comments to some of them. The ones I made it to read this board so I would like to apologize to them, I was very frustrated. Prior to the season in the parent meeting Coach P basically asked us to stay off social media after losses so I’ll be surf fishing for redfish the rest of the weekend✌🏾

We’ve won way to many game for me to duck anybody. I man enough to let guys get their shot in, the way I talk on here I fully expect it. This is lied rosy district loss since Nederland in ‘20 and that got things turned around for us. Maybe this one will too🤞🏾

Don’t answer that dude. He’s from Vidor, that’s kind of all that needs to be said. You notice I just like all his post and tell him thanks now.

That’s the bad part. We picked off the QB multiple times just like I said we would and still lost. The way we got screwed on penalties tonight was awful as usual but we know that’s going to happen. We still need to execute. Can’t drop TDs, miss wide open guys and then compound it with penalties. Very good night for BH, they did exactly what they should’ve done to Crosby tonight.

Yep, was tough to come to that realization but it is what it is this year. Offensive execution has been suspect all year. Up 21-14 at midfield with 3mins left and we still manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory even after how bad we played? Yeah, we’ll be shopping on Black Friday this year. Great win by BH. QB got destroyed all night and still came up with enough plays to get the win. Crosby’s defense actually played very well tonight. Offense was just so pitiful we couldn’t help them out. We probably had close to 100 yards in penalties tonight but I bet 70 were offensive. That holding/block in the back when we where going to have it 1st and goal from the 2 yard line and a chance to go up 14 in the 4th quarter was crucial. We ended up with 0 points because we don’t have a kicker this year. At least I’ll have those November weekends off during flounder season🤷🏾‍♂️

No excuses. Y’all sold out to stop him and did, played with 8 in the box all night and we dropped tds and missed open receivers. Absolute garbage from Crosby offense tonight. I would hold off on all that with your b-team kid though.
