Ned lost to Marshall by 40 last year. Why would you want to play Manvel like that? Manvel isn’t loaded like the Kirk Martin teams of the past because Martin is at Syracuse and Alvin ISD built the Shadow Creek Ranch neighborhood their own school instead of having them combined with Manvel. Manvel has the best win in the state in 5A-D2. I still think FB Marshall is the best team in the region though. Our 5A’s just don’t match up well with the real contenders this alignment unless you have players like RJ.

FB Willowridge and Houston Sterling don’t play until tonight after FB Marshall. I’m sure Crosby and BH’s coaching staffs will be in attendance.

I mean, we’re still not “good”. We just have more talent than everybody else in the district and were able to squeak out some wins despite the coaching. Other than a bad first quarter against BH(coaching) in a windstorm where we got down 21-0, Crosby has played pretty decent since losing to Vidor. QB is starting to put the numbers together I figured he would if he had gotten cleared to start the season.

Crosby finishes off a struggling opponent the way you’re supposed to going into the playoffs. Crosby puts up their first 50 point game under the new staff as well as their first 600 yard output. I’m not certain but I also believe this is our first turnover free game this season and the least pre-snap penalties we’ve had all year. It’s how you want to look at the end of the season, even if it’s only for one more week. Solid stat line for the transfer qb making his 4th start: 15-22, 265 yards and 3tds/13 carries for 126 yards and 2tds

I like your chances too but it’s a tough matchup. NC going to have a disadvantage at the line of scrimmage and the way they score is by being super reliant on Childress to run the ball from the qb spot. The way those teams win is by playing elite defense, especially against the qb run. This isn’t Westlake vs Steele in the first round but it will be that kind of disappointment for someone after y’alls matchup.

I would say 1-5. Angleton could probably win 9-5A D1. They’re the most physically impressive team Crosby has been on the field with this year. I think Hightower is the most beatable but you might see all 4 teams from their district go three deep. Similar to what the Spring district did in 6A a while back.

Well, New Caney could end up with the most dreaded record in THSF, 10-1. Last team I remember to do that was FB Hightower who was in a similar situation as NC. In a district where powerhouse Angleton doesn’t even make the playoffs, NC gets freaking Richmond Foster in the first round😟😟😟 Foster is the only team all year to play Shadow Creek within a score.

Yep, our season was supposed to be over so I’m allowing myself to post again. Despite Coach Prieto almost snatching defeat from the jaws of victory last week against Ned by not kneeling the ball, Code Red is back in the playoffs for the 14th time in 15 years. Ned and PNG have no chance of winning their playoff games but Crosby is going to get a good matchup against FB Willowridge and BH gets a worse matchup against Houston Sterling but a very winnable one and an excellent chance for a couple playoff wins before they get Manvel.

We’re about to go 1-8. You won’t have to worry about it this season. All my post from here on out would most likely be degrading the new coach and I know that gets old reading it, even if it’s the truth. Our district is bad, it’s made better by only having 126/7 schools in the class now. I figured coach Prieto would be competent enough with the talent he had to beat less talented teams. He’s as bad as I thought he was though and he can’t. Even the 1 win this year may be a stretch by the time Crosby plays Santa Fe.

Whose kids? Vidor’s or Crosby’s? I’m not ashamed of anything snowflake. Ask Boneyard Boys, Realville, MTC and the other Vidor guy that I think works at Exxon in Beaumont(if he was there) where they would rank the 4 Vidor teams that have played Crosby since 2011 and where they would rank this Vidor team. They’re realistic Vidor fans and would tell you the same thing I’m saying without the adjectives. I feel bad for the flooding in your community but kids in Crosby got flooded too. If I said some random school in Dallas was a bad team you would have 0 issue with it, hence my snowflake comment. I’m good though, good luck to y’all.

Vidor is a bad football team. This is without question the worst Vidor team Crosby has played since their initial matchup in 2011. Congrats to them though, they won the game. With that being said, Jerry Prieto is turning Crosby into something even worse than that. We may be the worst team in the district. We’re HISD level. I tried to have a little optimism after predicting a 3-7 season soon as they hired this guy but I’m going to have to update that prediction to 1-8. Hopefully some school board member were there and see how I’m over his head this guy is. Crosby runs a junior high level offense and executes it like a peewee squad. I would go ahead and say the season is finished. No passion on the sideline, putrid coaching, poor discipline, zero fan support and with this start Prieto is probably already close to losing the team. This was the new supt.’s guy from the beginning though, and he’s going to be allowed to go 1-19 in his first two years like Jeff Nations did with no repercussions if need be. Crosby is a sub-par program right now and will continue to be as long as we have this coach. No use wasting anymore time thinking Crosby will be anything different than they already are under this laughable excuse for a head coach. Probably my last post for the season seeing as how this is the most positive analysis I could come up with.

Yes, I surely have which is why even though Lee is averaging over 50 points I said they’re probably not the favorite. I honestly thought that would go without saying, guess not? I said I wouldn’t be surprised if PNG loses because they don’t have RJ and might end up in a shootout.

Through three games Ijenea Woosley has 12 tds and 0 picks, he’s completing right at 70% of his passes while averaging almost 10ypc. He’ll probably be the district MVP this year. Including Woosley, Lee has three kids that are averaging over 9ypc. I don’t think Lee is the favorite in this game but I don’t think it’s really an upset if they beat PNG this year.

This is an interesting score. Baytown Lee beat Galena Park 54-27 in their last game.

Huntsville is a different team without T’Vondre Sweat. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them get beat by a couple scores tonight, they do get to play at home though. Fedora is going to be a problem for the foreseeable future in region 3 unless he takes a college job. Cons. should be in a group of three with Manvel and FB Marshall that are favorites to win the region. Even though FB Marshall already lost to Manvel this year I still they’re the better team.

I didn’t expect this one to be nail-biter before the storm and I think Crosby has even more of an advantage now. Was surprised to see Vidor lose to a Montgomery team that will have multiple 30+ point losses themselves this year. Looks like Vidor has switched to some variation of a 3-4 defense this year. I’m not sure that’s beneficial to the personnel they have on the defensive line? Vidor likes to walk up those two outside LB/SS types to help set the edge meaning there’s a lot of matchups in the secondary Crosby should be able to win. Will be interesting to see if the qb is eligible tonight? Either way, Coach Prieto should get his first win tonight just with the advantage he has in the trenches.

Vidor barely broke 300 yards rushing that game on like 70 carries. Crosby is the team averaged close to 10ypc and had over 400 yards. Crosby had turnovers and probably over 100 yards in penalties. Not that the actual facts of the game matter on here, but Crosby couldn’t stop the 3 and 4 yard carries and lost to a team that played better than them that night.

We beat PNG with TCU signee Dominic Merka also, another dynamic player. Also lost with him. We won more games and went further without those dynamic players because the next years we had even better players overall. Point is that we always have those kids, y’all don’t. You don’t win those games without RJ, he literally accounted for every single td one game. Y’all won, you deserve all the credit. I’ve seen Crosby lose to enough great players to realize that’s why we lost, not because of how good the program is or how much tradition you have. I felt the same way when Crosby lost to Nederland in 2012 with Deshawn Washington, they were only that good because of him and haven’t been as good since. They lost every matchup they played against Crosby without him until last year when we had mailed it in. That wasn’t a popular statement then and the RJ one isn’t now. It’s a fact though, all the number show it for both teams. I think they going to be closer to 1,900 but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Crosby’s enrollment is close to 2,000. We better to be able to beat a team who without a player like RJ on average has middle of the class talent. If Crosby can’t beat a team like PNG regularly, how can we expect to do anything more than win a district championship. PNG may be top 10 in DCTF but if you really allowed all the DFW/East Texas schools to be ranked it would be closer to #25. That’s what I know and that’s what I judge Crosby of where they need to be vs where they painfully are at times. Remember how trash New Caney was 10 years ago. Same name but you think that’s the same school?

Absolutely it matters. I’ve learned long ago Crosby needs 4 state championships to be considered a better program. But to your point, yeah. Those wins 20 years ago have 0 bearing on what I think the programs are today. Crosby could go 3-7 and lose to PNG this year and I would still feel the same way. Those wins overlap from the end of PNG being really good and Crosby being bad from the 90’s into the early 2000’s. Probably 6 wins for PNG in those years. They earned them, we sucked and they didn’t. My whole point is that PNG never has kids like RJ, especially that play qb. It took them having that type of player working his magic in the last minutes to beat us the last two years. Switch those and recent history looks different.They literally went for playing for a state title to falling off a cliff and haven’t had a run like the past three years since. I’m saying RJ is the sole reason for that, otherwise PNG doesn’t really fit the profile for a team that can even win the region, much less a title. I think that Crosby with a quickly growing population and enrollment vs PNG with a pretty stagnant one has a better chance on average of producing a better football team. Crosby and PNG used to have similar enrollments, now they’re pulling away enrollment wise and should theoretically start to have better and better players than PNG. Therefore, even with what I think is a Flannigan-esque coach Crosby should be better year to year in today’s landscape. That’s how it works in the suburbs where they have a legitimate shot at winning. Crosby’s probably going to be 6A in six years, PNG might be knocking on the door of 4A-D1 in which they may be a juggernaut. What I’m saying should be a given.

Smh, I knew you were lying without even checking. If I’m not mistaken, which I’m not, the last team from this area to win the region was Crosby. Before that it was Dayton, when was PNG’s? We don’t recruit, the 3 qbs we’ve had go D1 in the last 5 are all from Crosby. Would be 4 out of 5 if Howard doesn’t tear up his knee. Same for for the backs and receivers. Don’t get butt hurt now and say we’re recruiting because because you got caught in a lie, and went back to see what y’all have really been without RJ. All that honor, pride, tradition has been all Roschon Johnson. Just accept that, that and the fact that you probably won’t get another RJ for 20 more years.

We’re not even in the same hemisphere as the real contenders around the state. Other than Katy and East Bernard, none of the schools that have won titles recently from down here do it with coaching and program. From NS to George Ranch all the way back to La Marque we’ve always won because of the level of athlete we could put on the field comparative to the classification. I was in Frisco watching my son play the other day and pulled into Independence High School on accident, I was looking for Heritage which was a half mile up on the same street. I sat in the stands for a while waiting for the game to start while the varsity practiced. After 30 mins I said, “They would beat any team on Crosby’s schedule by 20+”. They were 6-5, finished 4th in their own district and lost to Highland Park in the first round. Shadow Creek ran through the region in their first varsity season and played for a title, Lancaster was 7-4 last year and just as good as Shadow Creek. We compete to beat each other for bragging rights to get blown out in the playoffs, most of the 5A and 6A schools in Dallas play with a former state champion in the district. DFW and Austin are pulling away further and further on an annual basis. Houston suburbs are barely outplaying San Antonio at this point.

Without even going all the way back I can for sure tell you Crosby and PNG haven't played 15 times since 2000. 3 or 4 years of glory, we made the playoffs for 14 years straight before our situation last year. PNG's longest playoff streak since 2000 is the current 5 year steak RJ is 60% responsible for. PNG made it past the area round once before RJ. Barring the last three years of RJ, Crosby also has more playoff wins since 2000. I can show you some more data on how y'all have really only had about 3 good years without him in that time but I don't want to seem too dumb. He was a great player who made up for a lot of warts, now you're back to trying to find another Adam Morse or Ky Walker. Nothing wrong with that, it's just a fact that in the changing Texas high school landscape your are what you are with out a unicorn wearing #2 leading the way.

Enjoy that big boy. RJ is at Texas though. Now you’re back to being the same PNG you’ve been since the turn of the millennium. Y’all looked comical trying to run that draw play you used to with RJ, especially without Garth.

Almost a decade on this site and you still run into the s.o.s. Even after Crosby has a trash year you literally can’t make a positive prediction using any pertinent data without finding one of these. Literally in one post the thread went from “a Crosby poster” breaking down their last game nobody here saw and making the statement, “I wouldn’t be surprised to see Crosby win 9 in a row based on some other things I’ve seen in the district so far”, to “a Crosby poster” saying “ they should run the table”. “Scoring will be rare without trick plays”. “WOS will not be able to handle Crosby’s o-line”, etc. That’s not even trash talking, it’s just pure bs in a place that was created to, I’d imagine, raise the knowledge level of what’s going on with high school sports in the coverage area.

I guess you would have to say PNG doesn't have any "O" either this year? Crosby has played two games against two 5A opponents and scored 35 total points. PNG has played two games against two 5A opponents and scored exactly a field goal more. You can't possibly be talking about putting up points against Silsbee who gave up 52 to Newton the very next week and over 42ppg on average for the season so far?
