Yup. In the words of my big cuz JW. "They couldn't play dead in a western movie"

DBs chicken a la boo boo. Peewee level coverage skills at best. If Montgomery OC was smart he'd attack down field all 2nd half

he's also the backup QB so...

Welp, so much for the Cougars trying to ease into the season. Crosby gets their opener with Carthage cancelled and Coach Prieto chooses to replaces them with even stiffer competition in the George Ranch Longhorns. The Longhorns finished 5-7 last year losing to Humble in the 2nd round of the 6A-D2 playoffs. Crosby finished 6-6 in Jerry Prieto’s first opportunity as the lead guy. 
 
Just like Crosby, George Ranch brings back their leading passer, rusher and receiver. GR will have the advantage on both lines of scrimmage and also have two of the better offensive prospects on the southwest side of town in junior running back Hymond Drinkard and Baylor commit Javon Gipson at wide receiver. Crosby should be able to hold their own at the offensive skill positions but like most years they’ll only go as far as the defense will allow. 
 
Good test for both teams in the season opener albeit for two different reasons. 

I got this from Coach Prieto this afternoon.
 

As we start the 2020-2021 season with our football and volleyball players taking to the field and the court tomorrow, we need to realize what we have been given.
We have been given a gift......a gift to play, coach, and follow high school football and volleyball.  While some might think it should be a given, other states have shown, whether you agree or not, that it is not.
By the dialogue on here, that gift is a very precious one, but is also a very fragile one.  A gift that can be destroyed by a single misstep by a player, coach, staff member, member of the player's family or even friends or fellow students. 
We ALL know the protocols...not all of them are pleasant...many don't agree with them.  But if we do not follow them and destroy this gift we have no one to blame but ourselves...no politicians, no doctors, no nothing, just ourselves.
I may be the eternal optimist, but I believe in these kids, these coaches and these communities to do what is needed to guide this precious gift along.  Some don't agree with that either, but I have seen some pretty serious sacrifices made to allow this gift to proceed in the past.  Let us root that they will be able to do so this year as well.
And let us all pray for our boys and girls, our coaches, teachers and administrators as they lead us long this treacherous path that is the 2020-21 school year.

With 3 coaches in as many years it's been a "fiasco" for sure. It's only fitting to have a HC with a sir name (Fiacco) that has much in common with current situation. This is too hilarious. 

Seems like the good/great programs in the area definitely not shying away from competition as far as non-district is concerned for 2020 and 2021. 

That defense over the years has made most offense’s earn every chain link they could get. They have had some of the nastiest defenses I’ve ever seen in High School Football over the years. I’ve always thought of the Chain Gang as a very Stingy Defense. Meaning not giving up many chain links to the offense. Sad to see it changed. How ridiculous!

What do we call the guys on the sidelines with the down markers now?

^^^^^^^This.....I haven’t altered my lifestyle one bit.
 
My wife had a cold a few weeks back and I didn’t catch it......wasn’t my turn!

My wife taught and was the cheer coach at Crosby in the early 90's. One of my favorite players to watch was James Cartwright. 
Those were some fun times.

Well, you should know from past history that Crosby ISD doesn’t allow any of its teams to make unnecessary trips to Vidor. Plus, if we wanted our kids discriminated against I’m sure Barbers Hill will already be on the schedule.

My estimation is that BH paid about $1 million to the Westeberg family for that district championship. TW has been there 3 years and BH employees TW, his wife, his son and his son’s wife. If TW makes $154k then you can assume the other three split around $200k putting you in the $350k annually neighborhood. I guess we got a bargain on Coach Prieto for having us in the area round his first year here while he’s probably the second lowest paid coach in the district? 

Keep in mind, BH’s best player is Casey Collier. They also had to give his mom a job to get them to transfer out of Crosby when his sister was in school. They have a whole lot invested in this. 

I guess you always have to look at the bright side. When you have only won 5 district games in the last 5 years "chances" are really all you have to look forward to on Friday nights. Don't worry though, we'll but up there at the next alignment wearing y'all out with transfers from your own school.

At first I was like what is he talking about then I took a closer look and was like welp, he’s right you know!

Man, all the Baytown schools in one district and GCCISD still won't have a representative in the football playoffs

I was told that it's UIL rules that coaches have to play every kid on the basketball team in every game? Is there any truth to this?

No truth whatsoever. A lot of schools will guarantee playing time--just time. not equal time-- for sub varsity levels but when it gets to varsity you have to play to win. 

That's why I was laughing
