Happy to hear these 2 schools are getting to play - Surprised, but pleasantly
 

Not really jabs, just that the hometown boy has ridden in on his white horse to save the day. The whole fiasco that went down last year and how the situation was manipulated to get Larry back in Hardin made some us sick. Tod Stark is a good coach and a quality person and how he was treated was sinister. Anxious to see how the "Golden Boy" does in his first game back in town.

Finally a Crosby poster with some sense. Cotton was a great QB and Howard has a long way to go to get to that level. Who do you think QB'd the team that made that state semifinal run? It certainly wasn't Howard. To date Howard has won nothing but the hype trophy that is given out each year in Crosby. One place where we would disagree is on the deep ball. While Cotton certainly had his issues in that area, Howard does too. I see him consistently underthrowing open receivers and causing them to have to stop their routes and come back for the ball. Kinda tired of this argument, might just wait until Saturday to talk more.

Tristen Cotton was a great QB. Very accurate from 25 yards in. He struggled getting the ball deeper than that. Tristen's strongest attribute was his leadership. Great kid that the team listened to and respected. 
25 yards in id give Tristen the slight edge (for now). We'll see how the year goes for Jaiden. But on balls 25 yards out, Jaiden is a much better passer than Tristen. I also believe that Jaiden will show to be a more effective runner than Tristen. 
Note that I said that Jaiden was a better pure passer. As of right now, if I had my pick, I'd take Cotton as my QB. But if Jaifen has the year I think he will have my opinion might change. Don't forget that Tristen got to play behind probably the best O-Line in Crosby history. That O-Line made all skill players look good!!!

Ok what I've learned as of Wednesday of game week... Crosby has a whole lot of haters in east texas... I guess since jasper isn't in 5a we don't know the back story... 
my hope is that Crosby is as good as the hype.. this should be a good measurement of how far our defense has come since Gilmer put it on us.. if it becomes a shoot out then we're in trouble.. I think our big unknown is our defensive line Crosby will be bigger and stronger hopefully we will be quicker and can get pressure on the QB.. the other unknown is our new OC Barbay I know everyone is excited to have him here in jasper and I'm really looking forward to watching his offense.. I know the kids are having fun and learning more everyday and have nothing but respect for their coaches

That works too. Thanks.

Perfect. Thanks a lot Mike. This site is a great resource to keep all of us who have moved out of the GT connected with what's happening back at home. Will you be on the broadcast?

You going to be in attendance?

I seen on Good Morning America where Micheal Strahan, Deon Sanders and Under Armour are equipping Houston CE King for the season.

I don't know that Vidor is even considering packing it in for the season.  The issue is simply when they will be able to get things cranked up and what District 22-5A can do to make sure they have as equal a shot at the district title as the other 8 teams that will be ready to go next week.  It is not only the right and proper thing to do, it is also mandated by the UIL. 
Those issues will be what dominates this meeting.

it is my opinion that every stadium that is not in use per week should be available for any of these displaced teams. As far as equipment goes, if the equipment was ruined, have any vendors been contacted about potential donating equipment to these teams? What about the Texans? I've heard of NFL teams donating old equipment for these types of scenarios.
It makes me very sad to think about teams not being able to play this season. If there is a way, we should all bend over backward to get these kids on the field.

Is he/she not supposed to?.. Sorry I'm a little confused.  I figured out who you're talking about but did something happen?.. or is the person just obnoxious or what?.. Because surely that isn't a problem.  I could make a list of posters on this site that get on people's nerves.  (myself included) 

The game will be streamed live on kjas.com

My apologies. SETXsports is not broadcasting this game. I was confused with the Silsbee/Newton game.
Again, SETXsports will not broadcast Crosby at Jasper.
My bad

Hull-Daisetta at West Hardin is a go for Friday at 7:30.  An added treat, the Oilers will be honoring West Hardin alum and former NFL player Ed Marcontell at halftime.

Don't be surprised when Jasper wins this one. Despite the hype, Crosby is only a shell of what they have been the past couple of years. The RB is solid, but everything else is suspect. The QB has yet to prove he can actually play and the receiver that was mentioned is just a decent player. These guys have proven over the years to be nothing more than weight room heroes. They run fast on the track, they utilize social media to make sure everyone thinks they're special, and they play cheesy videos at their home games to try and create a college-like atmosphere. As far as the substance on the football field, it's often pretty average. Crosby has never proven that they can play any defense at all and that is what will get them beat on Friday. I think Jasper will punch them in the mouth and run the ball for as much as they want whenever they want it. I think this unproven Crosby offense will prove to be anemic in the passing game allowing Jasper to stack the box and contain the RB. If you force the QB to throw, you will quickly learn that he cannot do it.
Jasper wins by a touchdown and sets Crosby up to have a 6-4 year.

Hate to bust your bubble, 14.2.  But you remember that team, Fort Bend Marshall, that doubled y'all up last year in the area round?  They have an ADM of about 400 less students than you and will probably come down with you to DII in 2018.
Aledo, you remember them, don't you?  The 5A-II State Champion?  Have a ADM 80 students less than you so you could see them,
Good luck with your solid.

This should be a great match-up... just hope Crosby can get some practice time this week before entering the dog house.
 
lol ... I'm thankful y'all have been practicing... when your on that 3 hour bus ride and you start noticing the drive getting darker and darker your gonna realize your not playing a bunch of city boys.. these piney woods boys don't care how many A's you've got next to your classification.  

At least Jasper has Artificial Turf.  Those boys in 21-5A don't like to get grass stains on their uniforms.

Dillon Bethea. Hope I didn't butcher his name. Played safety for the 07 team that played LT in the semi finals. Even though LT beat us pretty good he had an early pick against Garret Gilbert. Really nice young man.

Hook Em'......best decision this young man could have mad and cant wait to see him on the 40 Acres.
