Jags D holds...takeover at the 44

Awesome crowd.
Seemed like old times.

Without their starting qb and rb Sterling is very vulnerable. It's levelled the playing field. This is the perfect time for Lee to make a statement. This is still a big rivalry so you can throw out team records. I would not count out Lee so easily. 

21-20 Lee wins!!!!

I'm hoping for a close exciting game so it will encourage some of the 16000 to attend more football games. I'm sure a majority of them haven't been to one in years. All three Baytown schools deserve more support from their community. I would also like to see GCCISD do more to promote the high school football games and increase attendance. Weekly right ups in the local paper just don't do it anymore as a lot of people stopped reading newspapers a long time ago.

Crosby cruises to first win of the year, but their fans on SETXSports was seen trolling the Barbers Hill boards.

PNG arrives in Stallworth Stadium and quickly learn that purple is the new black.........and gold. The defeated Indians head back to their reservation on the "bus ride of tears" or as we know it, interstate 10. GCM coach Bren Jones noted " They tried to attack us by air, but our Patriot Missile Defense quickly shot 'em down."

Nope, just homer with a kid on the team.

At least you're honest!

My thoughts, I just hope the Patriot team that steps on the field next week is ready to compete.
 
And I'm not a fan of the color purple. Sorry.

He has verbally committed to the University of Central Aransas. 
Congrats. I hear nothing but good things about this young man.

GCM by 10. If the kid from CV plays they will have a solid three headed running attack with him, Herman and Colon. Herman has to connect on some passes though to keep the defense honest. I hear TM is running the same offense Lee and Vidor run this year. Hopefully the defense bounces back from last week and plays with more speed and physicality.

I hope they pack a lunch. We coming to put in that work.

1-0. Who's next?
 

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned about GCM after this scrimmage but it's still just a scrimmage. We were missing a few starters but so was PAM. The difference is we don't have the depth to overcome that. My biggest concern is the Patriots don't look like they're ready for opening day yet. Way too many penalties and the passing game is not clicking. The defense needs to find some speed on the corners and take better angles to contain speedier teams like PAM. This is why we have scrimmage though. I'm sure Coach Jones and staff will make the necessary adjustments and we'll see a better team next Friday. We still have a move in from Channelview that hasn't seen the field yet that should make a big impact. I'm looking forward to see how they use him.

I think it's a variety of things. Olin built a great program. Kids  moved in to play for him. When we went to 3 schools, the talent level became too diluted and Lee being in the old part of town was already seeing declining numbers. Similar to the situation in the Golden Triangle. The difference though is that the third high school was an immediate and drastic effect where the decline in setx is slow so they are able to maintain quality programs. So now you have some instances where a few kids move to stronger local programs such as Crosby and Northshore or just lose interest. I know that there are a number of single sport kids, namely basketball and baseball, at GCM that could help the program either as starters or just adding depth. Also the shifting demographics like Buddy alluded to have a small impact as well though I don't see it getting as bad as Pasadena. 
That being said, there is a glimmer of hope. Baytown and Barbers Hill are still seeing tremendous growth. GCM sits in the highest growth area of Baytown and is already adding on to the building with room for more additions. Hell, there is even supposed to be a new master planned, $200,000 + home neighborhood being built in Lee's zone in the Evergreen area. That will probably effect BCA' s enrollment more than Lee's but will provide more tax revenue for the school.

Lee hardly moved the ball up and down the field. They played with emotion, but it was a scrimmage. 
You're not beating RSS. Sorry.
 

That's a bold prediction to make after just one scrimmage. I'd like to see Lee pull it off but I don't think it's going to happen. It's too bad the schools can't fight for a city championship. I know " The Game"  is the traditional rivalry but, if Lee can't turn things around, the GCM Sterling matchup will be "The Real Game" and Lee Sterling will become "That ol has been game."

rel played like it was a playoff game. They are scrappy,  but short handed.
GCM looked sloppy at times,  but never turned Herman loose. He did break a few ankles. Colon is a solid load at RB too.
It was at lleast bearable weather with a nice breeze.
