On-sides are part of the game.  Good coaching and execution.   Don't hold and TD's stand (both of those calked back were on the same drive btw)   And Crosby had maybe 1 less 4th down attempt than Jasper   
Here how it should work after a great game:
Crosby looked every bit as advertised   They were very talented on offense.   The young qb had moments where he showed serious skill   The rb was in a class by himself on the field.   Jasper's offense executed nicely with some nice runs and good usage of their TEs.  I think Jasper's O-Line did an amazing job.  Crosby defense are excellent tacklers and play aggressive.  I think there is a lot more potential there than some of their fans think.  
It isnt often when jasper plays teams with that kind of speed and a defense that brings the lumber the way they did   Very glad Texanlive posted the game for us to watch   It was worth the watch    We aren't Manvel but I am quite certain we gave Crosby plenty of film to analyze and get better by   
 
 
 

I am seeing Crosby as #74 in the state on Maxpreps.

Where can I get BBQ in Jasper?  I love small town BBQ.

This comment right here shows you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Just make sure you're here Saturday morning, I'm going to have plenty more for you.

Now that was funny. Mean but funny. 

I've got a son on the jasper team and they have nothing but respect for Crosby and know going into this game it will be tough, but plan to use it as any predistrict game should be as a prep to get ready for district opponents such as Rusk, Tatum and if we get to gilmer for the spread offenses.  I admire barbay for scheduling a tough opponent like Crosby because the last few years our early schedule hasnt been the toughest.  It's not what happens in week 2 but in December that really counts.  So Crosby fans our players are not the ones disrepecting you I can tell you that they know your players are good athletes and they plan to be prepared and ready for a good ball game so we as fans let's hope we get our money's worth with a great ball game on the field.  

You are right about that.  I think the talk was very cordial but the everyday Crosby fan felt Ridge Point was going to be a win.  Crosby had to do more than show up but it was a win.  That was wrong.
I am more cynical this year.  The only time I felt like Crosby had a sure thing all year was against Caney Creek.  (I missed the Dayton and Splendora game for work).   Crosby has one or two bad turnovers and some penalties, they lose.   There was some missed calls on Crosby in the Vidor game that would have changed the game.  Maybe once 21 is fully in the game plan and 88 doesn't have penalties against him (both great kids from great families), Crosby can walk away from teams.  Just haven't seen it that much.  
A dominant win here sets up nicely for a tough game in the next round (we can look ahead because we are just fans you know).  I want to see Brenham next because their fans are mouthy.  Crosby fans too but feisty fans are fun.  

I think Crosby underestimated RP.  Looking back, that was not good.  I think the current staff is not underestimating anybody.  The coaches and team have been solely making decisions and driving for a deep playoff run.  I can assure you, they are focused on beating Marshall and not looking past them.  The decision to play 2 tough out of district games, not putting a lot of different stuff on film, decisions to hold out kids longer than normal after injury, a whole lot of play it safe and get on the bus 2nd halves.  Do the things now to help in the playoffs later.  There is a ton of the offensive playbook that is not being shown.  #21 can run, he is close to 100% if not there.  But they only put him in space one time, and he scored.  Then they pulled him.  How many times have they thrown to the RB out of the backfield?  
  Now, I don't agree with all those decisions but I understand the why.  

If the defense shows up like it did Friday, Crosby can win.  Offense has to take what is there.  I love Mannie.  I really do.  I hate the way his ankle has played out this year.  But I think every team has figured out, he isn't going to run the ball.  They are loading up on the RB and catching him when he scrambles.  He is not a dual threat right now and the sophomore is.  #7 isn't going to set the world on fire but he can do the job when the defense plays like they can.  With Sqwrl on the field, good things could happen.  

He is not getting healthier.  Every game when he goes down, he tweaks that ankle.  It is heartbreaking because he has been working up to this.  It would be fun to see him line up at WR to start the game and watch NC to see if they adjust.
