Not sure how a team that finished 2nd and was dominated in both matchups with the 1st place team ended up with two major awards, how the 3rd place team was shutout completely but yet the distant 4th place team got two awards? Seems like some major collusion between the 2nd place and the 4th place team. Had the 2nd place team Sterling beaten BH one time I could see sharing some coach and player awards but BH dominated 6-0 in sets in those two losses. 

The sad thing is though as big as those three losses were, a team with the talent of BH should have been able to construct a game plan to overcome those losses.  Looking at the video on Neds YouTube page, you can clearly see a game plan wasn't in place for BH.  The Eagles are very talented, but something different needs to click for them to get over the hump.

Agreed. I was surprised we got so many. The coaches got together and voted. Of course they fought for their players for certain things. It didn’t turn out the way I thought it would to be honest.

Y'all finished with 30 yards rushing, 90 yards passing.

Now this is just being a cry baby...you abandon your team for most of the year and show up when they are healthy and want to start talking?? what a joke

Forney Offense is terrible.  

Going to 3 High Schools in Baytown was the kiss of death to any gridiron aspirations in the 77521. Hell Sterling hadn't been relevant since the late 80's with the exception of 1 playoff year in the early 2000s. Finn revived a doormat on the Southside of town and doesnt get the recognition he deserves. What he has done at REL with the amount of kids hes had is nothing short of spectacular. GCCISD has made REL opt up to 5A D1 the last couple of realignments, just to keep the 3 schools in the same district, which is BS. A district should allow their member schools to play in the division they fall into(attendance). Worrying about feelings and playing time and kids feelings at the HS level does more harm to the kids in the long run. Getting your a$$ beat EVERY Friday night does nothing but drive kids away from the programs and creates a defeatist environment. Shame on GCCISD for their lack of insight, and the reputation they have EARNED for the district. "Here We Grow Giants"?????? Giant laughing stocks maybe. This is not the kids fault. The kids have been sabotaged by their supposed leaders.

48 - 0 win. I thought Sterling might score a few garbage time points but I was off.
Sterling is barely this side of an HISD team st this point. Neither they nor GCM have a shot of beating anyone in this district right now outside of each other.
They both need new coaches. Sorry.
 

because some coaches have a system they like to run and refuse to change instead of adapting their offense and defense to the personal they have year to year. 

From someone that has followed a good bit of volleyball over the years… I wouldn’t put a whole lot of stock into those polls. That guy does what he can to bring in some weekly rankings and does his best. With that said I’m also not saying Barbers Hill or Nederland aren’t good teams.

Agree.  BH will be just fine for the playoffs, at least the first two rounds.  Last night proved that they are thin at a very critical position, but at full strength they will be okay.  Congrats to Nederland on the win.  They should celebrate and enjoy it while they can, because their reward is a Friendswood team that is as equally talented as a full strength BH squad.

You joined just to say that? Let me know when the parade is and when you will hang the banner for this game, I hope its before next Tuesday though because it will be basketball season on Wed. 

My 2 cents…that game was good for both teams. Nederland gets a confidence boost heading into a tough 1st round game against Friendswood. Frankly, BH probably needed to lose before playoffs. They haven’t really been tested since preseason. Got it over with, know they are beatable, and they will for sure use that as fuel going into a long playoff run. Regardless of the situation/lineups, win win for both teams.

Not understanding this explaining & excuses from BH fans over a post giving Nederland team & coaches positive credit on a win over #1 BH? Not arguing anything or with anyone? BH is a top Houston area program that is hard to beat, with quality depth every year. Maybe you believe BH backups are not that good, but imo they are solid players with great skills capable of beating good teams. The only facts that matter in the books is #3 seed Nederland beat #1 seed & #1 state ranked 5A BH last night in a vball match. I hope the BH starters that were sick get well & the BH team takes things serious since it won't be meaningless in the playoffs. 
Like I said before Best Wishes to a great BH team on a successful playoff run & possible state title.

After seeing these posts I pulled up Nederland's youtube video of the game....and all I have to say is WOW.  Major props to the Nederland girls for getting the win, their coach had them prepared and ready to play.   They executed their strategies and game plan better than BH did, kept it simple and direct. Even though BH still arguably had more player talent on the court, Nederland for sure won the coaching battle.
On the other hand, it definitely looked like the BH team was completely unprepared to play with their new lineups. Looked like they were missing their main setter and couple of net players, but that isn't a real excuse.  A team of this level should be able to go more than one deep at any position, that deficiency falls on coaching and development.  Not sure what BH's game plan was, if they even had one, but it didn't work.  On multiple instances, in all sets, the BH offense just looked lost...WAY too many junior high level mistakes.

Keep whining 

We scored a single 4th quarter TD... 
We put up 62 in three quarters, if your complaining about that then get better defense. 

Looks like Sterling is locked into 2nd place now.  I think it is very unlikely that Lee, PNG, or GCM beat them and I doubt Sterling will beat BH.  

Two years ago they would have probably gone three rounds deep in the playoffs had they not had to play Katy Paetow in the first round who by the way won the state championship last year and is now in 6a.
They should have been playing Galena Park and Houston ISD schools not Katy Paetow.
Dayton was 2-8 last year playing more or less what is now the district Lee is in.
No one is running down Dayton.
They rightfully can't compete against teams like Porter nor should they have to. They are now in different divisions which is the point of having divisions. To put you in with other teams you can compete with.
As for if Lee can beat Porter. That's the point. They shouldn't have to. They should be beating Galena Park, which they did the last two years by an average of 50 points each time.  And Santa Fe, who they beat 34-3 three years ago when they last played.
How many wins Lee would have in their appropriate division? I would certainly like to be able to find out one day.
 

Sometimes is doesn’t matter what the scheme is when you don’t have the Jimmy’s and Joe’s. Just like the first td run, perfect defensive play call.  Missed tackle for a 3-4 yard loss and then a stiff arm on the sideline!

You just have to understand that there are people who always look for the missed spot on a freshly painted door.
No one is stating anyone should revere a coach, but nothing wrong with giving them a day of praise.
National Coaches Day is not just for high school football coaches.

Wowwwww… so this topic flew right over your head.  You do realize that nearly all coaches make far less than six figures.  For every head coach who makes $100k there are a dozen assistants who make teacher pay with a stipend.  This is football thread but the day is in honor of all coaches across all sports.  Hate that you found away to take what was meant to be a positive post for coaches and spun it to the negative about coaches… congratulations 

What is interesting is the difference between 2nd seed and 3rd/4th is huge. You do not want to play Friendswood or Manvel 1st round.
