The records of our opponents doesn't bother me. I'm actually glad we'll have a chance to compete. South Houston, though usually another struggling team was actually a playoff team last year and beat traditionally strong La Porte. I just noticed you tend to make these observations about GCM that point out how bad the program is. No problem, I'm not here to fight and I'll drop it.

Yeah, you tend to make a lot of negative "observations" towards GCM. We're plenty aware that our program is struggling. No need to kick us while we're down.

Agreed.

My suggestion would be Baytown's Big A$$ High School.

According to Texas Football, Humble reported 2240. Moving on up to 6A most likely.

Not that it's much better, but the score was 39 - 13.

Again, this is coming from today's Baytown Sun. I haven't seen anything official from the schools. If we get an updated schedule I'll post it. I'll keep an eye on GCCISD' s website as well.

According to the Baytown Sun; Goose Creek Memorial will use their bye week to make up the Tomball Memorial game on September 22nd. Baytown Sterling will make up their game against Clear Lake on the same day. Also due to 22 5A's condensed schedule the GCM Sterling game will be moved from Friday October 13 to Thursday October 12th as Lee will play Livingston at Stallworth on the 13th.

GCM wins 24 to 17. I'm curious to see how the QB situation works out for GCM.

In the controlled portion, HJ scored twice GCM did not score. In the live portion GCM scored once, HJ did not score. GCM has some work to do but I think they have some pieces in place to make some improvements. Their offense should be more balanced this year. The defense can be solid. Not expecting any miracles but I believe they can be a little more competitive this year. This week's game against PAM will tell us more, it got ugly real quick last year. If we compete better this year, we'll know we've made some strides.

I'm with ya. Mine got there at 5:00 am sharp. First in line gets the good equipment. Looking forward to the scrimmage this weekend. Also curious to see how the move ins perform.

There have been rumors about rezoning the Baytown schools. If they do I'm not sure how it will pan out, but I believe they are aiming to move more kids into Lee's zone. As a GCM parent I would hope any rezoning would move us back down to the 5A level where we wouldn't have to play Northshore and Atascocita.

You're right, BH does have a lot of appeal for their athletic programs now. But that hasn't always been the case. What happens if the new football coach isn't as successful as expected? Things can change quickly. You also have to consider that Baytown is still growing alot in the Goose Creek Memorial zone, ExxonMobil and Chevron are expanding and hiring, and the cost of housing in Baytown is cheaper than Mont Belvieu. I think the Baytown schools can be competitive again. But until then I think they need to rezone so that GCM drops back to 5A and Lee sees some growth. But only if we can play in a local district and not have to drive to the Golden Triangle every week.

I agree. I was just curious where this rumor was coming from as I have heard it from a variety of people for the past 4 or 5 years. I was also wondering if the rumor was circulating in Mont Belvieu as well.

Actually, I believe all the neighborhoods past the railroad bridge are not in the city limits. Also BHISD begins at Needlepoint Rd. I've heard two different versions of this. One being it would involve everything located in Chambers County( some of which is within Baytown City limits) The other would just involve the area in Chambers outside of the city limits.

A quick question for the Mont Belvieu folks. About once or twice a year, for the past 4 or 5 years somebody will tell me that they heard that the Baytown neighborhoods on N. hwy 146 in Chambers County will soon be zoned to the Barbers Hill School district or its being discussed. Now, I've never put much stock in that. There's never any concrete information and I just don't see GCCISD willingly giving up any tax base. But I keep hearing it from time to time. Do any of you Barbers Hill folks every hear this?

I see where I was wrong. I was counting their first Sterling game as a win but they were handed a loss due to a fight, correct?

Correct me if I'm wrong.......and I hope I am. Didn't Summer Creek beat CV putting them at 8 and 5 while this win puts us at 6 and 7 with one game left. Hasn't the proverbial thread snapped?

So I'm told.

Game was supposed to be played at GCM. Sub Varsity teams played at Northshore. Location was changed because the first time they played the game was moved to Northshore because the weather turned "The Goose" into "The Goose Pond".

Losing alot of seniors but only a few of them were contributers. Will still have alot of talent coming back. The JV underperformed like the Varsity but have a few that will slide right in with no drop off. I feel they'll have a better season next year. You have a strong core of juniors and sophomores that played travel ball together on and off over the years. I think they'll mesh better than this year's group did. I heard that there was discord between the seniors and the underclassmen this year.

Got one boy playing JV and one on the soph team so I don't get to see the Varsity games. Not many here following our district either. That being said, maybe we need to recruit more baseball parents to the board. In fact, I'd like to see Baytown represented a little better here in all sports.

Kingwood 12 CV 4 SC 6 King 1 NS 5 Atascocita 1 SC has the 4th spot, CV AND GCM are tied for fifth. CV has GCM, NS, SC, and Sterling left. GCM has CV, King, NS and Atascocita SC has Atascocita, KW, CV, and NS.
