Splendora looked very good considering they are picked 5th in district and Needville is a top 15 in state pre season pick.  I liked what I saw on both sides by them but I am really excitied to back in the stands watching football.  I think Splendora is on the road the next two weeks against pretty tough oppenants so we will see how they do.  Good Luck to everyone this season.

Agree but I think we can also say take away a pic deep in our territory and a pic 6 and the game is different.  Kudos to the Bears but this district race is still wide open........... I was at this game and Splendora out gained LCM 385 to 285 on offense.  3ints was big difference.  

The kids have nothing to do with the non district schedule. Coaches on both sides want competitive games so they look for qualities that will help them come district and hopefully beyond.
Sometimes you think it's going to be competitive and you're just a little better than you thought you would be and the other teams are not as good as you thought. Two years ago, the Splendora non district schedule looked competitive but they ended up with the best team in their school history.  Their program is on the upswing and I'm happy for them.
The only thing that matters is they won their first district game and they move on towards their goal of making a playoff run. 

Honestly, I thought they would be. Splendora is next. That area is growing so fast, you have great facilities, good coaching, big influx of money and people = formula for success. The Cleveland area will follow. There's a lot to be said for changing US 59 into IH 69. A lot more money, industry, etc. always follows the improvement of infrastructure throughout history. I can remember playing NC back in the mid-2000s and there wasn't a lot of nothing that way. My how times change. Hard for schools that are stagnant in growth to keep up.  

Crosby had some crucial kids not playing but Porter was better prepared to win the football game. I don't think you're going to get or really need an answer to those specific questions. Riordan is one of the top coaches in Texas and beloved in Crosby, I guarantee him and the staff will have Crosby back to looking like they're supposed to after the bye week. 

Hey 14.2, we suck but Dayton got sent to the glue factory via a azz whippin by Splendora on homecoming....

I think after the 1st week in October the table will be set for the playoff teams.Dayton vs Humble this week, will help solve Dayton's chances.The top 6 teams Crosby,New Caney,Barbers Hill,Dayton,Humble & Splendora all play each other and can eliminate some of these teams.At the beginning of the season I thought Kingwood Park was going to be a contender.This weeks game with Barbers Hill I thought would be significant,but now it looks like a off week for Barbers Hill. Transfers and playing a lot of underclassman seems to have handcuffed them.Maybe Maples was not the answer for that HC job.I don't know if Splendora has the depth to dodge injuries the whole season and be a  contender.Can they lose a Terio Brown or a Mannie Netherly and still beat the others?New Caney & Dayton had QBs injuries this week,can Splendora survive that scenario?There can only be FOUR !

Evan Nichols from Splendora has been impressive
 75 carries 750 yards 10 TD

21-5A is rb heavy this year:
Craig Williams(Crosby) - #3 APB in the 2018 class
Carlos Grace(Crosby) - UH commit
Terio Brown(Humble) - 8 FBS offers but tore ACL and done for the year after being a 4 year starter
Marte Allison(New Caney) - D1 back averaging over 100ypg so far
Evan Nichols(Splendora) - May be leading the state of Texas in 5A rushing at this point, leader for district MVP so far
Probably have to go with Nichols averaging over 250ypg
*Just for note: Ex. 21-5A back Trey Williams rushed for 99 yards in his freshman debut at A&M. Austin Walter had a 38 yard td run for Rice and looks to be moving into the lead back role if he can improve his pass protection a little more.  
 
 

I think bh is the 3rd best team in district behind Crosby and new caney.  In saying that I thought Splendora was one of the worst and clearly that is not the case.
