    Stayed home for this and listened to it. It gave me flashbacks of the 04' playoff game against Westfield. It also gave me flashbacks of the infamous "Mud Bowl" game years ago against Port Arthur. Thankfully the guys were able to keep grinding and turn things around.

    Last year Lee beat PAM and I am pretty sure PAM won district.

    You know we can all look at a picture and see something different and that's understandable. I have always been an follower of football and have not missed a PAM game since they came into existence, and yes I was at the Mud Bowl, almost jumped in the mud with them. With that said, I have seen all the Coaches that came through PAM. PAM is average or good because of the Athlete's that have come through. When we match up Athlete for Athlete is when coaching comes into play and we cannot compete. That's when our weaknesses shows up. Just go back and watch some of those games and really look with an open mind and you to will say, Damm why he did that or called that play. Hope we win Friday night and yes I will be there.

    Well, can't say I didn't call it. I just wish I would've been wrong. Everything I said about us making the Joe Willis hire this offseason is exactly what played out. If you watched all the Tyler Legacy games I did this past offseason you would've most likely come to the same conclusion as me that him going 2-8 last year and backing it up with another 2-8 this year isn't a coincidence. 
    Before the season started I said "This isn't Cedar Park", meaning all of the built in advantages that he had there or even Colleyville Heritage, do not exist at Crosby. People on here that know absolutely nothing about our program had strong opinions on my remarks regarding why I don't think the hire "fit" Crosby. I said he was an older, lower energy CEO type coach that didn't fit our culture. I said he ran a system that didn't fit our personnel and actually exacerbated issues Riordan and Prieto covered up so well, like good coaches do.
    We've kind of always been on the lower end of the the participation scale. I said before the season that if kids and parents didn't like what they saw that they would just transfer out to one of the other nearby schools, and they have. Depending on how convicted some of the other parents are to their remarks I heard them make this year, we could be looking at a major exodus of talent from the lower classes over the Spring semester and Summer. 
    I didn't comment all year because there was nothing positive to mention and there was no point in running the coach down every week for things that everybody could turn on a game and see themselves. It was the worst play-calling we've witnessed since Flannigan, the worst scheme we've seen since Flannigan and the worst personnel moves we've seen since Flannigan. This is magnified by the fact that no assistants wanted to come work for Willis so we have a bunch of local guys with very little actual coaching experience to help mitigate the issues. 
    I think Willis is a good coach and I can see the end intentions on a lot of the things that didn't play out the way he thought they would, but he's an old coach set in his way and convinced they'll work. Not sure how long he's going to be here as I've heard he was only given a two year contract but what I will say is that outside of him finding the easiest non-district games he can for next year, I wouldn't expect Crosby's record to look much different than it did this year for the foreseeable future. 
    *Today Crosby votes on a new $85M bond for another elementary school, a second middle school, an expansion of the 5 year old high school and general facility maintenance. Bond says they expect Crosby ISD to get 5,000 new students by 2033 meaning a projected high school enrollment ~ 3,800. Basically the new alignment will be the last two years Crosby has to try to be competitive before going in to the 6A abyss. Sad state of affairs what an administration can do to a program but here we are, had some fun times though.

    A play getting blown up is a missed assignment.  PAM lost two games this season and that is a good season. Parents blaming coaches make for a toxic culture. We win together and we lose together.

    It's like one school made halftime adjustments and 1 didn't.  After going up 21-14, they were outscored 28-7.  That's neither here nor there.  I'm hoping for a win to send them back to 5A on a positive note...

    The point cap changed the order I believe. If 18, PAM 3 seed & LP 2 seed if a 3 way tie. The 4 point drop puts PAM 1 ahead of LP and into the 2 seed.
    Basically, y’all’s blow out loss doesn’t hurt you as bad. LP only lost by 11 and beat the other team in the potential 3 way tie being discussed. But, y’all leapfrogged due to the point cap supposedly being lowered.

    Austin1985 reacted to AggiesAreWe in SETXsports District Playoff Scenarios (clinched, seeding, who is still alive)   
    Yes. There was confusion on the cap amount (18 or 14) and if the point system was used throughout the tie breaker or only used to break three way tie and then head to head.
    Point max is 14 and point system is used throughout.

    If it happens, may actually be a better matchup for the district from the 2/3 seed perspective & run D’s. After watching a little of Forney, LP vs. Forney tilt would be like 2 Shermans playing Rock Em Sock Em Robots. LOL

    Cap will be 14 points. So if there is a 3-way tie it would be
    1 Barbers Hill
    2 Port Arthur Memorial
    3 La Porte

    Edit to this for the breaking news:
    The tiebreak max points is 14 instead of 18. So, LP would be 3rd seed and travel to Forney (I’m assuming) if BH & PAM both win. The rest stays the same.

    Dude shut up! All you do is talk down on Beaumont. Your screen name should be BMT Hater. Your ass probably lives in Lumberton or Mid-County. And the BISD's pay is on par with the rest of the state when you don't have the AD attached to the Head coach job. As far as the state championships in 3 years, that can be attributed to a group of generational players coming together at the same time. Having two future NBA players and three additional players that will more than likely play professional over seas on one team will lead to state championships. If no one wants to move to Beaumont, who is all the new housing and apartments being built for?
