Gotcha. I agree Manvel will be a tough beat for any 5A school. I don't think a Coog win is inconceivable if we do meet again this year.

Not sure I'd say ever. That's a long time.

Being a close neighbor and rival to BH I LOVE when the Cougars beat The Hill. I may even talk some trash about it. With that being said my experience is that the people in BH are good people, just like those in Crosby and Dayton. I think BH unfairly catches grief bc they have very few minorities and their schools have an abundance of money due to the industry in Mt Belvieu. No district in the state would turn down the revenue, but it makes them any easy target for others whose districts struggle with funding. I think the supts tweets were not a good idea, but since he apologized I think ppl should look at his whole body of work and not a few minutes of poor words on social media. As someone who loves their community I know it hurts when something like this overshadows all the good in a community. I hope this mess passes soon and The Ant Hill can celebrate all of their great points instead of hearing about this. And I hope we beat the snot out of BH on 9/9.

Players leaving?

Meaning you think BH will make the playoffs. I agree. Good first week for them. They moved up a notch in my opinion. But I still think it's Crosby 1, Dayton 2. After that toss up between New Caney, Humble and BH. Kingwood Park laid an egg last week. Let's see if they bounce back. But yes. I agree with you. BH moved in to relevance after week 1.

This is the only board that counts!!!

Agree about O-Line. But this defense might be special.

True statement about staying healthy. I do believe last year's team was Rio's best at that point. But honestly believe this one can be better. O-Line not so big but more high end skill talent than I've ever seen. Austin Walter still the best Cougar back I've ever seen imo. He'll stay there on my list until someone produces on the field. Grace and Williams are amazing but haven't surpassed Walter yet imo. However, there is high end offensive and defensive talent all over the field for Crosby this year. But yes. I agree. Everyone is full of optimism at the start of each year. As true fans should be.

I agree. If Coogs stay healthy and keep getting better this will be Rio's best team.

Agree. Week 1 is first peek at what all teams will be but none of us should read too much in to week one. But thanks to our nine team district we better look at first two weeks pretty hard as district starts week 3. BH vs Crosby for us.

Crosby will go D1 if BH & Dayton make the playoffs.

Absolutely: 1) Big rival 2) Are they improved enuf to compete? 3) Do they make playoffs and push us to a much tougher D1?

I don't know much about Reagan. Anyone have any info on the Coogs week 2 opposition?

You must be watching some real high caliber football somewhere.

OH KAY!!!

Whew. You must be watching some real high caliber football somewhere.

Ya. You nailed that prediction and your mathematics ability is stellar. 35-21 vs 56-28. Good grief.

Crosby plays both ways in this game and we lose by 30+. We're not 3a anymore.

35-21 final. Manvel is very good. Coogs are just fine.

35-21 Manvel Crosby scores

Good win BH

We have the athletes. But not going to argue. Manvel is very good. As expected.

Special teams killed us early. Snap over punters head and blocked punt. Have to clean that up. They appear to be wearing our lines down now. Coogs have competed well. Let's see if they can dig in. Oh. And Manvel #5 is a man-child.

Uh oh
