Honoring Black high schools that are no longer open

In the Crosby area it would be the Charles R. Drew High School Dragons out of Barrett Station, TX. The district eventually merged with Crosby ISD and the Crosby Buffalos to form the Crosby Cougars -

I think Sterling fans are pretty realistic and realize how far away they really are. They've seen some good Lee teams so they know what good football should look like and they know they're no close to playing it. One thing that jumps out is the "He's in over his head" sentiment that someone posted in this thread earlier. I had a Lee graduate from the Dick Olin era who I really respect, who had a son playing for Coach Toomer, tell me the exact same thing with examples included. You can probably classify Sterling's personnel as "sufficient enough" to make the playoffs in this district though. As far as the playoffs I think there's only really one spot left up for grabs. Anything can happen but as of now I would give BH the nod with probably a 5-3 district record. I think they beat the three Baytown schools, Porter and La Porte for their five district wins. I think their game with Kingwood Park is a toss-up right now though? If I was to choose a dark horse in this district it would be La Porte. They have better personnel and now better coaching than the Baytown schools with the hire of Dobie's coach. They're also going to run a style of offense that this district doesn't defend against much. It's year one though, plus their coach got there late so I wouldn't be surprised to see them struggle again at all but I also wouldn't be surprised to see them go 4-4 in district play and back in to the dance on a tie-breaker. -

Looks like those boys off HWY 90 will start from the pole in the Houston Metro rankings in 5A and 6A: [Hidden Content] -
Well, today is the first day of practice for the schools that participated in Spring football. Today will also be the high point in a bunch of teams’ seasons. Good luck to whatever group your team falls in and may your boys have a healthy season🙏🏾 As you can see over in the 8-5A-D1 thread the Baytown Sterling fans went ahead and shut it down right after they issued equipment.

Surprisingly Crosby brings back more starters than BH and PAM? It bodes very well for Crosby's chances at a district title, especially being that Myles will be one of those returners while BH and PAM will be breaking in first year QBs. Crosby's defense should look awful impressive on the hoof. -
It just dawned on me that FB Willowridge’s new coach is also the dad of FB Hightower’s stud sophomore qb from last year’s 11-3 regional final squad. He moved to FBW with his dad when he got the head coaching job this past April. The only teams in this district that can really “out-athlete” FBW are FB Marshall and Texas City. IDK what kind of coach his dad will be but Kendron Penson is an absolute game changer in district with teams like Ned, PNG, Dayton and FBW packed as close together as they are personnel wise. Kid threw for just shy of 2,500 yards in a district with Manvel, Paetow, Angleton and Foster. This may be a situation like Jalen Hurts dad had at Channelview with his older brother Averion? I think the FBW games goes from a for sure win for Ned to a ?

Dude, y’all are literally Splendora with nicer houses. I wouldn’t be making comments about the literary structure of anything on this site if I was you. Beyond that though, please feel free to take time out of whatever you have going on, they way they have, to write whatever you feel necessary about Huffman’s upcoming season.

I agree 100% with everything you said. JT has several FBS recruits on their roster this year. I know it’s a new day but for the most part you have the same kids as last year. If y’all had another qb that was on the roster that could’ve help them why didn’t he make a difference last year? Tells me there won’t be this one this year either -

If you would've heard what Abseck said to CE King's coach about Crosby at the THSCA convention you would understand why their hype video looks like that. Common responses to the "What do y'all look like this year?" talk around the coffee pot in the morning from local teams' fans/parents. GCM: "Man, it's going to be tough. I'm just glad my boy is out there." Lee: "I mean, we're going to beat the other Baytown schools" Sterling: Their fans don't even like discussing football at work Anahuac: "I'm not sure but I think we were pretty decent last year. Have you seen our new subdivision though?" Dayton: "We really wanted Crosby this year, we think we can play with y'all. I think we'll be good though." Crosby: "We should be pretty decent. We're just hoping to stay healthy and make another run at state" BH: "I don't remember who we open with but we play Crosby the 4th game of the year" I'll see if I can find the video from the Vype photoshoot a couple of years ago when they asked the BH players about the upcoming season. Their response was akin to the hype video. -

Dude, y'all are 26-28 over the past five years. There's been a bunch of people overlooking y'all. Especially when you do stuff like lose 49-0 then backdoor it with a 42 point loss in bi-district. We've already heard of the qb issues from last year but that still doesn't explain why y'all were 5-15 the two years prior? I'm not sure Cujo could even beat Chapel Hill right now? I see a lot of Coach Holmes stuff on social media and I think he's a good leader of young men but I think the JT football was in better hands under Coach Rush. That being said, I don't think anybody who makes the playoffs from district 7 will be overlooked. -

We also got the 6'2" corner from North Shore, not Spring. From my understanding they showed up July 11th. They favor the one-sport method at NS which is the main reason they're at Crosby now. They'll be allowed to play both here, they're also both juniors. -

Who is our recruiter? What coach will we lose soon? If Crosby loses coaches it's because we're winning so I'm good with guys who deserve opportunities getting them. We're not BH, our kids can win at a high level with good coaching no matter if that guy has previously won a state title or not. Your kids and coaches have yet prove that. If you've never seen another team's hype video you're not an avid high school football fan. They're hard to miss this time of year on social media outlets like DCTF who will re-tweet them and have them pop up on your timeline. -

Cougar14.2 replied to Cougtalk's topic in High School Football
I’m a Crosby fan/parent so there’s nothing for me to like or dislike at BH. I just like to see kids get every opportunity possible and playing for a fully supportive staff is part of that. You kind of hit on it with your comment though. I think Abseck coming from Cedar Park has more adjusting to do to his personnel than TW coming did from Allen oddly. He’s not coming though so the subject is moot now. I’m hearing Crosby just picked up a 6’6” OLB from North Shore now so it’s probably a good thing we won’t have another high caliber PAPF to get through the system. -

Cougar14.2 replied to Cougtalk's topic in High School Football
I think the only reason he’s still there is because of what you mentioned so IMO it doesn’t go unnoticed. Kudos to the BH folks on that part. I just know I would prefer my son to play for a different staff though. Like somebody said above though, glad were able to choose freely. -

Cougar14.2 replied to Cougtalk's topic in High School Football
One of the QBs going to 8th grade. He'll be the starting QB for BH South middle school when/if we play them next year. I bumped into his dad the other evening at the stadium when our boys were doing some drills and he told me they just came back from a national camp in Atlanta, I believe, where he got ranked 4th in something? We used to call him "Little Brady" in the stands because of his skillset. I know Katy Paetow was trying to scoop him up too. Coach P's son is in the same grade so the kid that went to BH would never play QB here. -

Cougar14.2 replied to Cougtalk's topic in High School Football
Correct, some do go to Dickinson. Again, it depends on what side of the highway you're on? Is/was Crosby trying to "recruit" him or is/was he trying to go to a better situation for undisclosed reasons? What I will say is that it won't be/wouldn't be a good look for a kid like that to leave BH. -

Cougar14.2 replied to Cougtalk's topic in High School Football
Is Crosby trying to recruit him or is he not completely bought in at BH? He’s also a good basketball player. Who’s to say he doesn’t want to come play for programs that are better than the ones he’s in now? Sometimes different narratives develop depending if you live east or west of 146. I don’t think there’s anything to that rumor, if there even is one, but a player like that wouldn’t be allowed to transfer to one of the better teams in the district anyway. You would have to get them pre-PAPF like BH just did with the Crosby qb. A Dixon-type transfer would be denied at the DEC level by a vote or two even if BH, Crosby, PAM and possibly La Porte all voted affirmative. -

Cougar14.2 replied to Cougtalk's topic in High School Football
Exactly. Good chance they might be a little better the next two years than they were the last two years, still finish 3rd in the district and take two first round L’s. I’m sure Abseck’s wife is employed by the district, like TW’s was, so that would put them around $600k for that one playoff win after his third year on the job. Another interesting thing I saw is 7A won’t be here for a while according to the UIL deputy director. If the 6A floor doesn’t move up BH might be headed that way in ‘24. I think Crosby makes it in 5A-D1 until at least ‘26. -
THSCA Interiview with La Porte HC Kevin Berneathy
Cougar14.2 replied to Matthew328's topic in High School Football
Coach Berneathy could’ve stayed at Dobie and won a bunch of district titles. Pasadena ISD also pays pretty well. Have to commend him for taking the rebuild job. Interested to see what La Porte looks like at the end of the year when we play them. -

According to the updated schedule I saw Crosby will now open the season at HOME against CE King. The official stadium capacity is listed at 10k. Most people I’ve ever seen in the stadium was in 2018 when we played Manvel. CE King already used to pack the visitor side and now they have almost twice the enrollment. This one might be standing room only? -
According to the deputy director of the UIL class 7A is still a ways off. Says we need about 100 more schools to make the conference work. Said they also looking at the idea of separating the bigger schools after district play.
