Crosby vs Marshall Saturday 2pm in Lufkin Abe Martin Stadium

12-5A-D2 combines for a 154 point sweep of 11-5A-D2. We go from three favorites against one to the inverse of one favorite against three. #10 Crosby vs Marshall Barbers Hill vs A&M-Con. PNG vs #7 Montgomery Texas City vs #6 Texas High

Congrats, y’all deserved that one. This is what I felt like y’all could be since I saw y’all play us. Had me looking real dumb after the TC game. Definitely y’all’s biggest win since moving up. A&M-C is going to be a different animal next week but enjoy the hell out of this one this weekend and I hope to see y’all at Stallworth on Black Friday.

That’s actually pretty respectable considering the competition y’all have to play but that “previous staff” part kind of sticks out in that statement.

Lol, PNG matches Crosby’s 72 point output. Just couldn’t bobble one more snap on the XP huh?

Their defense is only tough because they have great athletes, full stop. Sometimes the problem with coaching at a school with great offensive athletes though is that they turn mediocre offensive play calls into great ones because of their abilities. Now you don’t realize those play-calls mediocre until you face someone that can wash out their athletes. Seems like that’s plagued PAM for quite some time now. What is PAM’s playoff record since dropping down to 5A?

Tried to tell y’all

Well . . .

Man those kids were fast! #6, #1 and #4 could go. #11 looked like Terrell Owens but probably only got two targets. Their skill players were legit but where most of those inner-city ISD schools struggle is at the line of scrimmage. When our freshmen linemen can come in and start moving furniture that kind of says all you need to know. It’s partly coaching but with the lower participation rates at those schools coaches only have so many big guys to choose from.

I don’t think they even need to go that far. I’ll hit up James Williams and tell him he can have the keys to the whole athletic department. If PAM can come up with about $125k they would probably have a shot at landing him. Harrison leaving an administrative position for a coordinator position tells me PAM wasn’t paying that well or that there were some other issues.

I think I'm going to bluetooth my noise cancelling headphones to my phone and listen to the BH game while I watch y'all play tonight. I refuse to voluntarily listen to Cherokee be played 47 times.

I'm going to make the 15 min drive to watch y'all play GP tonight but I'll be watching this one on the phone. I agree with you though, outside of their d-line against FBM's o-line they have the best personnel matchup wise outside of Crosby. Maybe put some red tinted glasses on Holdren tonight and see if he can turn into Superman like he did against us.

Yep, he's one of the two freshmen road graders I was talking about them moving up. Looks like the staff is going to have AJ clogging up the middle for the next three years though. Very rarely do you see a 330+ pound kid with that kind of agility, especially at 14. Kid just looks the part. #66 Herd was the other freshman road grader, I don't think the boy's jersey goes below his chest? He has to be every bit of 350lbs and is still athletic enough to pull from his right guard position. Kid looks like a solar eclipse coming down the line of scrimmage. The freshman linebacker #42 Windfont was all over the field last night. He's already 6-2/210lbs so I fully expect him to be wreaking havoc in backfields the next three years. His closing speed is ridiculous. All four of the freshmen looked awesome last night.

Half the twos were in on the TD they scored in the first half. All those points they scored in the second half were against twos, threes and fours, which I didn't even know we had. I believe every senior on the team got some clock in their last game in The Jungle. I would imagine 50 kids saw the field last night. FB Marshall had Madison by 42 at the half last week and Crosby had them by 45 at the half last night. At that point the game was over and we were trying to get out healthy, Eudy had already replaced Myles in the second quarter.

51-6 Crosby at the half

Man, one of these recruiting insiders would probably pay you a pretty penny for the answer to that. IDK but my theory is that if it was an injury you probably announce it? I think Coach Williams is like Coach Kay in the sense that he knows he’s dealing with a few more situations than most coaches so he would do a kid a solid and just keep it internal if it’s disciplinary. Remember Evans was suspended the first game or two of his senior year and unless you followed them you wouldn’t have really noticed. Problem was that one of those games was Katy and everybody noticed, especially when they lost. Never heard a word about the reason or anything from Coach Kay though, even when he suspended him again for the state championship game.

If I'm Abseck I run Holdren and Hagler at least 40 times combined to help shorten the game. I'm going to take a few shots to Herndon and Dixon but but outside of that I'm not throwing any of those slow developing deep routes against that pass rush and put myself behind the sticks nullifying the run game. Not to mention throwing incompletions that stop the clock and extend the game. They play man coverage and will never get out of it meaning they're very susceptible to getting beat back to the inside if you have personnel capable of doing so and a coach that calls it at optimal times. Them being so qb-centric this year is the reason I've been saying they aren't as dynamic as last year. BH has struggled on defense all year but I'm not sure that if you load up against Banks that he can beat you from the pocket, especially without Marshall making circus catches on poorly throw balls.
