Seeing as how his job is the athletic director, not just football coach, it sounds like he’s doing his job and bringing in people for all sports, not just football. That’s the part of all this people forget. Football get the most attention, the money, the most everything. I understand why but other sports, especially girl’s sports have always taken a backseat.

I think Manvel will take a step back this year. They lost their 2 big outsides that they ran 90% of their offense through and their assistant who according to parents I have talked to basically did everything and was their real coach. Huffman and BH will continue to be strong. They didn’t lose a lot of seniors.

It blows my mind that kids are transferring over a coach. Did anyone ever consider that if everyone stayed in their hometown instead of jumping ship for an easier route, they’d be stacked with talent and be successful? Not to mention the fact that the kids would actually learn something so important in the real world like loyalty, dealing with adversity, etc. Just my 2 cents as a mother of a female athlete who’s dealt with mediocre programs in Crosby. Sidenote, what’s your thoughts on the new recruiting coordinator?

Thanks for the clarification. So it’s totally different than what we’re experiencing for volleyball. Interesting. Recruiting services and coaches instead of the players reaching out aren’t what they’re looking for. They want to see the kids making the effort and to get to know them, not their coach or parents.

I have a question. My kid doesn’t play football so I only know the recruiting process for other sports. For my kid, it’s pretty much all on her to contact schools, send videos, build those relationships, and do the work to get recruited. Is it not the same for football? Doesn’t Crosby football have tons of college coaches out every spring to watch the boys not to mention all the press that football gets compared to other sports. What exactly do y’all expect the coaches to do? Just curious.

Crosby head coach just returned from maternity leave today and told the girls she’s leaving. 😳

That’s crazy and it’s exactly why their players didn’t get any of the top awards. They didn’t have any stand out players that I can remember like other teams did and without the stats there, they get overlooked. Sad. What are they looking at other than stats for these awards then?

I’ll just say it. Avery should have gotten blocker of the year. She led in blocks and dominated offensively all year. CJ led the district in digs by a good margin so that makes sense to me. You know how it is. The coaches had their agendas and who they wanted to get awards. Lots of negotiations had to happen for it to work out like this. If you look at the district stats you can clearly see who should have gotten those awards and who shouldn’t have. Hell, if you watched any of the teams you know who their leaders are and who should have been in the running for them.

Definitely had me confused and my kid got 1st team. Ha! I even messaged the mom of a girl from BH who I thought should have gotten one of the superlatives because I was so shocked she didn’t get it. Lol

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.

There’s a couple of surprises for 17-5A. I don’t have the full list to post though. Here’s Crosby’s. Blocker of the year-Victoria Grace Defensive player of the year-CJ Brogan 1st team-Kate Valt, Ashley Anderson, Shyla White 2nd team-Bell Land, Kylie Green, Mya Grace Honorable Mention-Kinya White

Agreed. They’re not getting past Friendswood. Sterling should get by Santa Fe but would face Fulshear in 2nd round.

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.

Sterling and Nederland both have BH to play again right? What’s the tiebreaker procedure? Sets lost? Head to head?

2nd-4th will be determined by next Friday. Hopefully we can hold it together this go around. I don’t want Manvel or Friendswood.

2nd round should be interesting. There will most likely be 3 teams 5-2 going into it. I’m just glad we’ll be at home for both Sterling and Nederland and we seem to have settled into a good lineup after losing a key player.

Crosby over GCM 3-0

Everyone wants to beat BH! Always and at every sport! We all know how good they are. They will see everyone’s best each game and they have weaknesses that smart players will use against them. I think they’ll still get through district unscathed though. Nobody else has that much talent and coaching on one team to knock them off.

Totally agree. Every set in that game was close. Could have gone either way. Also, anyone can win 1 game so anything can happen still.

Crosby over Sterling 3-2

BH is going to roll through district. Sterling shouldn’t have any problems going 2nd. I’ve given up hope that we will put the right lineup out there to be successful. We have the talent if they’re played correctly to hang with anyone but it doesn’t seem like she’s ever going to do that or knows how to do that. It’s sad.

She has 15 rostered now that she moved up 2 freshman. Only plays 9 just not in the right positions. She did finally unleash Kate at outside instead of middle so that helped a lot.

Crosby is 8-16 now. They don’t update Maxpreps like they should. Lots I want to say on the state of our program but I won’t. I’m just very disappointed in decisions being made and think they’re being set up to fail. We’ll be lucky to even make playoffs if things don’t change. BH is killing it though! I watched them at John Turner. They’re so fun to watch!

3-10 after day 1 of the Spring tournament yesterday. All I’ll say is the lineups have been interesting but I think they’re getting close now. lol

Should have but no.
