Big Daddy Cool

Rivalry that goes back to around fifty years or so. I've been privileged to attend several of the games over the years. No matter how either team is doing. It's a playoff type atmosphere every time.

He went to Channelview, but the family actually lived in North Shore.

Hell would freeze over before Deer Park would help La Porte. The bitter blood between those two is thicker than that between La Porte and Port Arthur.

Atascocita did exactly what Summer Creek did. They knew they had a punchers chance with there being no Kaleb Bailey. They landed two heavy blows and put North Shore on the ropes. But as a champion does North Shore weathered the storm and came back with a couple big shots of their own. These two heavyweights will continue to battle for years to come as long as realignment keeps them together.

Would this be considered an upset seeing as West Brook hadn't won a game all season?

The game is being shown on AT&T Sportsnet ch. 639 on Comcast/Xfinity. The game has lost some of it's luster with Kaleb Bailey being out. But both squads are coming in ready to in what many are saying will be the first of two these two will play this year.

I sure do remember those days. I remember one year it backfired on ya'll because the smoke engulfed the entire stadium.

And that kind of attitude plays right into something I brought up last with West Brook. Kids don't want to play for that kind of coach. And so they go elsewhere to play.

Having seen both teams play this year. This one could very well come down to special teams ie.. field goal or kick return.

Might want to correct the records for North Shore as they are undefeated.

As famed high school coach Bill Yoast once said "Make them remember the night they played the Titans!"

Both would get Donkey Stomped by North Shore right now!!!🤣

Can someone explain to me what is going on at West Brook? I mean they're in the '18 Championship game and now they can't even win a game. Where did all that talent go?

I'm not saying they don't matter. I'm saying often times people put way too much stock in them. I've seen many times where we beaten pretty bad at the lower levels. And then you opposing fans saying maybe they have a chance against the varsity team. I just shake my head at people like that.

Sub varsity scores mean as much as 7on7 or scrimmage scores do. That being a Hill of beans or jack squat.

Russell Athletics nuff said!!😄

I remember when this was really intense rivalry. Neither program is where it was back then and don't know how many witnessed those very heated games. But there is still a lot of pride in both programs so that always makes for an interesting atmosphere. Just hope it's a clean game with the better team coming out on top.

Mapquest got me lost!

Seeing as North Shore has a Thursday nighter I just might take this one in. So can ya'll lite the marsh on fire so I don't get lost and end up in Louisiana!🤣🤣

I'm a North Shore alum and fan. And I agree totally in that the success of a program such as North Shore's draws kids. A few years ago it was Allen or SLC that were always being accused of recruiting. Katy even had to deal with the same accusations. Because we've won three titles in four years now the accusations are being thrown our way.

North Shore doesn't recruit any more than any of the other elite programs in the state do.

Back in the good old 21-6A days we'd say Crosby got donkey stomped by King!🤣

I fully expect us to win this game. I didn't however expect us to win like this. We were hitting on all cylinders right out of the gate which usually isn't the case. Kaleb Bailey has definitely grown since last year. And he didn't even use his legs in this one. As for the defense you wouldn't know they lost a lot of key players. I know it's only week one but right now I expect to be making a return trip to Arlington in December.

Not sure of the weeks, but North Shore is looking at Spring, Westfield and The Woodlands in non district.

So happy to be with the Beaumont and Humble ISD schools instead of the Pasadena schools as most of the mock realignments were predicting.
