It is what it is. That game isn’t even that close if we’re healthy.

Y’all keep that same energy from last week though . . .

Should be up 21-7 right now. Driving it nearly in the red zone and getting it to 2nd and 3 and we decide to not pick up the 6 or 7 per carry we were averaging? Oh well, we still aren’t playing good but hopefully it’s good enough tonight.

Can’t believe you’re in this thread dogging anything having to do with Crosby.

That smell is actually hexavalent chromium. A lot of them have it embedded on their clothes when they come home from work.

Just let them talk. Come November they’ll still be hoping and we’ll still be expecting.

Yeah, and maybe they’ll train you to run the pantograph so you can start a business cutting out oars to sell to the local home-puller🤷🏾‍♂️

Lol, Crosby has reached a new stratosphere when lining up against FB Marshall is seen as crawfishing.

Y'all probably need to get in the weight room too. With it being as stormy as it is I'm sure y'all could use the extra strength to tie your houses down. Y'all can't afford for much more of your population to float away before y'all drop another class.

Nah, that ended in July. It's dream killing season, we just haven't woken up yet.

IDK how that's going to really work though? Even if you don't build "new" schools you're still going to need to build new schools in some capacity. Crosby's new school was built to hold just shy of 3,000 kids. By the time they're finished with the all the subdivisions they're building in and around Newport and that huge swath of land they're developing on your way to Huffman, Crosby's school will be overcrowded. Crosby ISD owns enough land where we could easily build a freshman campus though. I think people just undershot the growth in Fort Bend and Harris County. Katy Paetow picked up 990 kids since 2020 and are projected to be over 5,000 by the next realignment if they don't get another high school. Per their community newsletter, "The timeline for constructing High School No. 10 was delayed because the bond election was delayed from November 2020 to May 2021, Vierling explained. When the new high school does open, it will help relieve enrollment at Paetow High School. If it isn’t built, Paetow High School would have nearly 5,000 students by 2024, Vierling said.". I really don't see a way around just keep building new schools because the contractors definitely aren't going to stop building houses in those areas. I think y'all may be right in terms of your inner-city ISD schools being able to contract but I don't see how that's going to work in the suburbs at all? Even in the inner-city you run into problems though. Prime example is Madison and Westbury which are only about 5 miles apart but if you combined the two then neither campus has the capability of housing 4,000+ kids they would have so you would need a new school or a massive expansion at one of them. Same for your Dallas ISD schools which are even closer together than most Houston ISD UIL schools.

They picked up about 500 kids since 2020 and aren't even finished with that subdivision right south of the school that exploded their enrollment. They're closer to being done with their other huge subdivision Liberty Lakes but they're going to be well over 4,000 kids by the 2026 realignment. Their school was only built to house 3,500 kids so they'll either need another one or a freshman campus. With their old head coach moving into an AD only position it leads me to believe that a bond for yet another high school may be in the works in the not too distance future. IDK where they would put it though, unless they bought the old golf course from the city and put it there. Sheldon ISD could easily split CE King's attendance zone into two 5A schools and still be formidable with the benefit of open enrollment.

Imagine somebody from Huffman making comments on who's going to be playing in December🤣🤣🤣 Dude you're funny. Y'all are about to get crop dusted in district play by a bunch of TIG welders' kids and some boys that play in a mosquito pit.

We're not Huffman bro, we don't actually suck in real life. If we did we wouldn't have made the 5A playoffs 16 of the last 17 years. You of all people should know how stepping up in competition can be difficult the way Crosby erased Huffman when they had the audacity to move into our district. Last time Crosby go beat down like this in an opener we went 10-3 and lost a tight one to Pearland Dawson on a bad call. Look at our non-district schedule over the years. Crosby coaches don't schedule The Sisters of the Poor in openers like y'all did just so the kids can squeak by for a feel good win. Our goal is to be playing on Black Friday and beyond so we schedule accordingly.

That's the crazy part. We looked so solid against Lamar and then in a span of two weeks we get 8 kids hurt. We even have some backups of the hurt players hurt. I don't even think some of the kids we had playing last week were even listed in the program? It is what it is though, we won't see anything else like Lamar or King on the schedule this year.

FB Marshall hit a slant to Banks for 95 yards on their first offensive play and then basically stalled the rest of the game. Klein was better than FB Marshall at the line of scrimmage and could've scored a lot more points but their QB can't hit the side of a barn. FBM was playing solid defense though. At the beginning of the year I said if FB Marshall moved Jakoby Banks to wide receiver they might start to look like closer to those '18 and '19 teams. Last year they didn't have very good QB play and the kid they have they have now wasn't overly impressive against Klein but I assume it was his first career start. With guys out we don't have anybody that can stick Banks so that's a concern but I also think our offense will have a better day, particularly Myles, without five huge D1 kids collapsing the pocket on him. I think he was 5/13 for 46 yards 1/1 and had -4 yards rushing but again, it's hard to make anything of that when his two playmakers are missing on the outside.

Well, we'll see what happens tonight. We're still going to be down seven starters and potentially eight depending on how you want to look at it. Hard to get a good evaluation on the team when we're missing so many impact players. Throw in the fact that none of the transfers are eligible yet and it makes us even shorter on depth. Hopefully the drop in competition allows us to play a little better tonight but it doesn't look like any of the injured players will be allowed to suit up until at least the BH game.

Absolutely not the same King which exactly why it’s hard to get any real gauge on how we can play with so many studs missing. We would’ve lost to A&M Consol. last year if we had as many injuries as we do now. We lost to Ennis 62-16 in ‘09 and they were in the same class with us. We’re going to be fine when healthy.

🙄🙄🙄 When Crosby has 3,600 kids like King does we’ll absolutely be able to compete with them again. You use the Ridge Point example but left out the fact that the very next year after we played them they were playing in the 6A-D1 playoffs so to say they “barely” crossed the threshold is pretty naive. King’s enrollment has jumped by 1,300 kids since the last time they played Crosby. Lol, I’d we listed to you Crosby would still suck. You talked all that hot **** about Crosby not being able to beat anybody else besides the GT teams and we run through the region in back to back years. Just make sure you keep that exact same energy when we’re healthy. *just so y’all can reference what @panamamyers was saying in relation to Ridge Point. The very next year they went 10-0 in the Fort Bend 6A district and lost in the 2nd round of the 6A-D1 playoffs to Lamar. Same situation as George Ranch, Shadow Creek and now Katy Paetow, who all won titles, winning big while they’re more than 1,000 students over the cutoff line. [Hidden Content]

Both Carthage and Crosby had starters out

Crosby has played like this in a bunch of opening games the last 7 or 8 years. We’ve just never played anybody with the level of personnel King has. We’ll be alright once we get the players back who aren’t done for the season.

Crosby went a lot of iron on iron during fall camp just got banged up. When your two top receivers who averaged 18.1 ypc and 24.7 ypc along with the #6 rated running back in Texas in the ‘25 are all in street clothes you expect some sputtering from the offense. Then we lose a LB who was probably going to be the defensive MVP of the district🤦🏾‍♂️ Trying to play that kind of personnel with comparably limited depth and then being down several studs is tough. I think we’ll be fine though. Very humbling experience. Not sure I’ve ever seen Crosby get done like that.

63-7 King final Flat out destroyed in the trenches tonight. Was going to be a tough go down 7 starters but man, this was bad.

We miss the seam route to go up 14-0. We fumble the kick at the 10 yard line and give them an easy one. Then we miss a FG. After that we get a 1st and goal and screw that up. CE King is very good but our injuries compounded with poor play may be too much to handle tonight.

Before the game I said it was all about if Crosby could keep from getting dominated at the line of scrimmage. Well, we are🤦🏾‍♂️ 28-7 King at the half
