Cougar14.2

Game highlights:

I kind of thought the AD part was obvious after highlighting that was the reason TW came? Most of these guys at successful programs in multi-school district are only leaving for the bigger paydays/more control that comes with the AD position in one school districts.

They could make a lot of noise if Katy goes D1. 6A in region three is deep but they’re all D1 teams except Katy. I don’t think any of our D2 region three teams will be able to beat Westlake but I think CE King would have one of the better shots with their defense and run game.

One thing you left out was new houses. CE King High has been for about the last 10 years and will continue to be a huge beneficiary of all the home building going on in their attendance zone. Sheldon ISD’s tax base is growing pretty quickly and it’s more well off than it was in the past. CE King High is probably going to have and enrollment over 3k in a couple of re-alignments, that’s crazy considering the fact they were just in a district with Crosby, BH, Dayton, etc. in 2015.

If BH plays the way they did against Crosby they should win by 20+. If they play the way they did the first four games of the year it might be a lot closer. Does the close loss give The Hill confidence they can play at that level or does it create a hangover situation where they sleepwalk into The Reservation and get beat? I said before the BH vs Crosby game that I though that contest would determine how those teams played the last half of the season. This is game 1 of 5 to see if that was the true BH Friday night?

Through the same two district games last year Crosby was averaging 29ppg, this year they’re averaging 52ppg. Carthage and Manvel are the only teams to keep us under 40. Crosby didn’t give up anything close to 46 points defensively in district play last year though.

If BH really wants to prove a point then go play the rest of the games on your schedule at the same level you played Crosby, because y’all dang sure didn’t play any of the previous four like that. Show it’s just not one fluke game against a rival. In 2016 Dayton took Crosby to overtime but finished the season 4-6. They played at s district championship level, but only for that night. BH should obviously finish better than that but we’ll see what the effort looks like the rest of the year.

Looks good to me, no matter how you feel. How do you feel about the other 51 points BH gave up though? What about Hagler fumbling with 4 mins to go up 15 with the ball in our half of the field. Y’all played absolutely perfect until Hagler put it on the ground and that was just enough for Crosby. Crosby got screwed by the refs all night, that was some Turner Stadium stuff going on in there. Just face it, y’all got in a big spot and collapsed.

Dayton is getting closer to being “back”. They probably needed to win this one to get into the playoffs this year but what I will say is that they’re definitely not the easy out they have been in recent years. I think coach Ware has things going the right way over there.

Crosby got hit in the mouth, staggered through the fight and won a controversial split decision. Sometimes it happens like that. I see a lot of talk about the two point conversion but BH also gave up 22 points on three consecutive Crosby drives to close the game. At the end of the day this was a QB battle. Holdren played the game of his life and Myles probably played his best game to date as a starter. Defense had nothing for Holdren all night but was still able to make enough plays to win. I know PAM beat BH but I still consider this a better win.

Watching it on Texan Live in real time it looks like he’s in. I’m just trying to figure out why nobody is pointing to Hagler fumbling and then BH giving up two TD drives prior to that though? Line Jude on the BH side was horrible. Called back Kirkwood’s TD on a phantom hold. Definitely the worst officiated game I’ve see in quite some time at the varsity level.

Abseck is probably making close to $40k more than he was at CP. That’s a a whipping. Looks like a decent investment so far to me though.

Y’all are good. Y’all never play anybody else in the district with the intensity y’all play Crosby but barring some crazy stuff happening I don’t see y’all losing another district game this year. Problem is going to be playing with that same energy when Crosby isn’t lined up across from y’all, especially after a gut-wrenching loss like that.

That was our most uninspired performance of the year. Didn’t execute very well, turned it over, ridiculous amount of penalties and acted like we were surprised BH wasn’t going to just let us win. We usually have one of these a year in district play, I hope to God this one was it.

Well, you see why Crosby is Crosby and you see why you go money-whip one of the better coaches in the state to get him. Great game from both teams. BH definitely played better than Crosby tonight, glad we could get out of there with what turned out to be an epic win.

Lol, sad part is that I can tell you their actual stat lines from most of those games. Only other games I really remember them for are Dayton. I wonder if that means BH is becoming a rival🤔

Well, I’ll have you know we were dominant under the Monday night lights. Crosby’s 7th grade A team beat BH North 46-6, they ran the clock starting at 4:15 in the third quarter. That win made the 14.2 boys 7-1 against BH teams, see if they can get number 8 tonight and number 9 later this month.

Yep, Summer Creek, Kingwood Park or Humble, it doesn't matter. The officiating in Turner Stadium will have the opponent at a disadvantage.

The running back Briyah Mitchell from SC transferred out. Ayden Jones also transferred from Summer Creek. His people are local but he did not play for Crosby last year. Here is his HUDL film from SC last year: [Hidden Content]

Better watch out dude, you can’t make logical posts like that. That SS person will accuse you of stirring up resentment on the BH staff. She may even accuse you of being a racist? Abseck didn’t bring either state title/finals coordinator with him. DC for their two state titles stayed at CP to work for the new coach they hired from Red Oak who’s also a former CP assistant. The OC from last year got the head coaching job at San Antonio Peiper and took half of CP’s staff with him. BH’s current coordinators were o-line and d-line coaches at CP last year, not sure either guy has even called plays on varsity before this year?

If BU is going to make a coaching change at the end of the season they may need to look at BH’s old DC. If one of the most respected coaches in Texas thought enough of him to hire him that’s probably all the homework BISD’s AD needs to do. The question will always be about what staff he could bring in but I think going and getting a guy with some credentials versus just hiring a familiar face that applies for the job is a better approach. I think he’s originally from somewhere like Mississippi or Georgia so I’m sure he would understand the SETX culture too. Sometime you just fall into one.

I had a ton of ifs and buts as to why I thought Crosby would beat PAM too after watching y’alls game with them. I totally agree with you there though. One of my BH buddies came to my office today and wanted to bet me on the game but he wanted me to give him 21 points. He by far is the BH sports guy to go to at the job. I said “Heck no, the kids are going to play too hard.” BH’s defense had started to be an issue for Crosby. I know it’s early but BH doesn’t look as good on the defensive side of the ball as they did under TW. I believe BH’s previous DC got demoted to a position coach when Abseck brought his guys in. Not saying that’s the reason but it probably needs to be noted. BH hardly got pressure on KP’s qb without blitzing, KP’s receivers had the BH dbs stacked or flat out beat on probably 65% of their deep routes and several times KP had receivers running wide open through the BH defense and just weren’t see/hit which is why I think they’ll have trouble covering Crosby’s receivers. I think this game is a gauge for both teams to determine how they’ll play their last five games.

The question is going to be how many times he can do that though? Sanders avoided the rush at times and picked up some first downs on Crosby after having a huge game the week before against BH. He ended up rushing for -14 yards against Crosby. I would say the 9/6 td to pick ratio is concerning too. Over the last two day I've watched and re-watched all 167 plays from the KP game minus the kicks. If BH defends the zone-read and pass plays against Crosby the way thy did against KP and weather isn't a factor we might score 60. KP would've scored over 40 if they had receivers that could actually catch and a QB that could hit them, they were behind BH's dbs all night long. Also, I'm beginning to wonder about that BH front 7 holding up going through district play? KP probably ran for close to 200 yards in the second half alone when the backup QB came in and could actually run the zone-read correctly. I think y'all are going to have your hands full with Myles and Jones running it.

Garrett Hagler had 20 carries for 231 yards against KP. BH had over 400 rushing as a team. I think a lot of teams are going to do that to KP if they choose though. TC will probably run for over 400 on them too.

Like BHfan alluded to, if Crosby brings pressure Holdren is probably going to throw it to us multiple times. If Crosby shuts down the run game the way we have on everybody except Manvel I don't think he is the Jamar Sanders type player that can beat you by himself. One thing I like that Crosby did was to adjust to Dayton going quick in the passing game after Dayton initially adjusted to Crosby's pass rush. Womack's pick was due to Dayton's QB forcing a bad throw with pressure in his face but three of the other four picks were guys jumping routes after our defenders started to realize Denton didn't have time to look guys off. Without the escapability of Manvel or PAM's QBs you may see a similar performance from BH's QB this week. The kids heard a lot of chatter over the Summer about what they weren't supposed to be able to do. I think they have a huge chip on their shoulder and are out to prove people wrong this year. I've probably seen Crosby and Dayton play 25 times and have never seen either team get handled like that. Only thing I remember close to it was the 49-7 game in the playoffs.
