Geez. looks like the Lady raiders were a little upset about the two games they lost.
 

The East Texas Blaze are looking for Varsity/high school girls in the Lufkin- Nacogdoches & East Texas Area that are interested in trying out and playing for the Blaze. We practice in Cushing, Lufkin and Huntington. We work on player development to improve their play in high school. We also focus on getting players exposed to a higher level of basketball and recruited by colleges and universities. The Blaze have been at work on developing players for several years and have helped with many girls in their high school careers and over a handful of girls have gone on to play at the college level. The Blaze do tournaments throughout the spring and summer in Texas. We do not interfere with school ball and like to work with coaches to help develop their players during the off-season. 
The East Texas Blaze are always interested in adding and developing talent if interested email us at

Lol....yes, g'kids and kids are great!  I would love to "watch" a David & Goliath battle...a top Class A/2A...versus a top Class 5/6A; however, it's a different situation if I am in the shoes of that top 5/6A team and I am beaten. :-)   I have no doubt there are very good, well coached Class A teams that I would definitely enjoy watching.  I enjoy watching "good basketball" irregardless of the class or ranking.  There are exceptions to the rule, but the speed of the game, for one, changes.  I applaud those players/teams/coaches who are able to make the adjustments.

Ridge Point is one of the newer schools in Fort Bend County.  I have family in Fort Bend and watching relatives participate in sports...I am familiar with the schools in Fort Bend.  Crosby Independent School District has one high school, kids from Crosby and Barrett Station.  Crosby, nor any other area school, has any reason to hang his or her head when you are dealing with schools who have the power to put bigger and faster players on the field because of the number of players to choose.

It's all good...lol. Do your thing.  Couger fans simply doing what fans do....we support ours in Cougar country.  Always have....always will. Nothing nobody will say will change that.  Count it!

This team was better than last year's on both sides of the ball. They just never played a team that matched up as well until the semifinals. The first team we played last year that could matchup with us at the line of scrimmage was Hutto in the 4th round. 
Even if we stopped RP at the line of scrimmage it was a three yard gain because that's how much the line of scrimmage had moved. That hasn't happened to Crosby all year, they could also match speed. Their four star corner didn't even follow Netherly, they felt comfortable with the other guys covering him too. Ridge Point just had the bigger and better athletes. 
Had we gotten the other side of the draw you may have seen different results, as it stands now it's just back to the drawing board. Lot of talent coming back and hopefully a healthy Grace to go with them. 
 

Crosby will probably go 10-0 again with what we have coming back. Teams in SETX don't have enough to play with us, we got out-athleted tonight which never happens in this area. 
The talent didn't come in waves, those groups you named came back to back to back. We'll be more than fine. Just back to the second round drawing board. 

Crosby from what I saw this year has great athletes. Their schemes are predictable though. Ridge Point will have their hands full as they face more unpredictable schemes. I don't know much about A&M Consolidated this year, but when I played against them at Tomball, they were always unpredictable.

Really, really impressed with the RP defense. Their front three defensive linemen were bad arse. And, that kid Skylar Stanton has to be getting some looks at cornerback in the collegiate circles. Wow.

Awesome! Congratulations Lumberton! Continue to make it happen!

I LOVE MY LUMBERTON RAIDERS! THESE BOYS HAVE PLAYED THERE HEARTS OUT ALL SEASON! #27 DRESTON MADE ME CRY TELLING ME IM LUMBERTON #1 FAN. I LOVE THAT BOY TO DEATH! 

You can't keep playing kids both ways especially at the QB position.  Your best offensive player is #2.  His offensive production suffered because he had to make plays on defense, that and we kept kicking right to him on kick offs for some reason.  By the end of the third quarter Dayton's players were wore out.  You need to find someone to replace #2 on defense.  

Good test for the Coogs. About to see what they're all about......

Time for the defense to get an interception.

#2 brings it!

#2 brings it!

#2 brings it!
