You reminded us of that 11 years ago when I first go on here. The fact that 11 years later you still have to bring it up lets you know that to this day still see these first two quarters of exhibition football as the gospel. 
Que the Friday/Saturday morning "I can't belive the OC called that!" talk. 

If you’re just now making names up for it then it’s not really a rivalry. Crosby’s rival is, always has been and always will be Dayton. BH is to the Crosby/Dayton rivalry what Vidor is to the Ned/PNG rivalry.

Man, I ain't ever seen somebody with so much confidence after finishing 1 point out of 4th place. Myles hands the ball off like he should have and Coach P got on to him for not doing then BH finishes in 4th place, goes 6-5 and the discussion would be "Does BH make the playoffs this year?". Instead you're on here talking about how you think Crosby and BH are going in opposite directions. Let's look though 
BH last 5 years: 
2022 - 2nd place (2nd rd)
2021 - 4th place (2nd rd)
2020 - 3rd place (2nd rd)
2019 - 1st place (3rd rd)
2018 3rd place (1st rd) 
Crosby last 5 years:
2022 - 4th place (1st rd)
2021 - 1st place (5th rd)
2020 - T-1st  place (state finals)
2019 - 2nd place (2nd rd)
2018 - Missed playoffs for only time in last 18 years 
So when you don't use Dallas Cowboys logic I can say Crosby went from missing the playoffs to being one game away from consecutive state final appearances. Meanwhile, BH went from finishing 3rd to one point away from consecutive 4th place finishes over that same time span. Nobody besides a Barber Hill Cowboys fan would say "You know what, BH is the team that is really on the come". If that was the case we wouldn't be peeling off quality talent from your program. 

I’ve never started a thread solely about BH, ever. I have posted in BH threads exactly 0 times this year, the same amount as Baytown Lee. I have posted a couple times in Dayton threads though. Feel free to go verify before the board gets too crowded. However, multiple BH fans have posted multiple times in Crosby threads in the last few days alone.

That’s BH that judges their season according to how well you play against Crosby. The kids get a lot more hyped to play FB Marshall than they do BH. Y’all are just another game for us, same as Baytown Lee.

What am I selling? The reason I said Willis might not be the right for for Crosby is because we’re NOT like places like BH. We have more people that work in the “service” side of the O&G, more diversity and more diverse opinions on how to go about things. If we can keep superintendents from robbing the kids then we’ve still done pretty well as a district historically though. The current supt. may not be the biggest proponent of the sports programs but she’s doing an awesome job for the district in general. 
 
The reason BH is relatively competitive across the board is two reasons. One, the district is heavily subsidized by the refineries in town and two, the sports like baseball and softball that you’re eluding to have lot more to do with disposable income than they do anything else. There are more black girls on Oklahoma’s roster than you might see the whole weekend at a travel ball tournament during the Summer. It’s to a slightly lesser extent in travel baseball but only because those coaches are more willing to come up with “payment arrangements” when you can get you hands on prospects from inner-city Houston like Carl Crawford and Michael Bourne. 
 
BH isn’t really “great” at any sports besides girls softball, y’all just dump a lot of money into the programs so your floor is generally higher than others across the board. Which is commendable for the kids’ sake. 

Mods, how do we get enhancements to the board? In about a month or so we’re going to need to be able to post gifs of rice farmers, refinery operators and dead eagles. You know, things that capture the culture of Barbers Hill. 

Crazy comment coming from a fan of the guy whose team led the district in unsportsmanlike penalties a couple years ago and actually had their QB ejected in a crucial game? 

Touched on it on page two in this thread under “positive experiences” 

Say man, don't hate on ISD's being propped up by Oil Cooking 👀 PA, PN, et al would like to have a word Sir lol

Whoops, sorry, I thought I was on the Nederland site. 

What was this all about?

Culture???? Are you talking about the administration? Elaborate please…. I’ve watched a lot of Crosby football over the past 10 years and under Prieto they got very few unsportsmanlike penalties. 

Boys had the stands quiet yesterday at practice. Everybody was thinking it but since we went 6-5 last year nobody wanted to say it out loud. 
My main concern was the LOS on both sides of the ball. We haven’t lined up against anybody but ourselves but needless to say that’s not as much of a concern as I thought it would be physically. New left tackle is a big boy, Johnson is down to probably 330lbs and in better shape, plus Langley is back healthy and should end up with close to 40 career starts by the end of the year. 
 
Right now the d-line has the other 6’4” Langley twin at DE on one side and the 6’4” NS transfer at the other DE. 
 
Can we play? IDK yet, but my goodness it looks like we can. 

We could still go 4-6. The participation numbers are still low, we probably won’t even have enough for a freshman A & B this year. The fact that this year we more physically look like the Crosby teams we’ve become known for is somewhat of a given. We’re probably not going to have two consecutive years being as thin as we were last season if things are normal. We also have the supplemental talent eligible this year which is a nod to those kids and parents for getting their business taken care of even while the program was rudderless. All we’re talking about is what Crosby looks like physically. 
Houston Westbury looks like Spring Westfield and can’t play a lick though. 

Man, who literally gives a crap about how kids celebrate? You sound like get off my lawn guy. You know how many people we’ve watched celebrate like they’ve won the Super Bowl when they’ve beaten Crosby at home, including y’all? 
 
Potentially sitting six weeks your senior has a way of impacting things, among other variables.
