Bordertown

He was my MVP for Crosby versus any of your offensive players. He set the tone for your defense.

Just a question …. Why would one fake an injury at the end of a two point conversion? Why diminish a great football game, where the kids from both sides left it all on the field? Cougars earned the win in a very clean sportsmanship game. As hard as both teams were playing, tempers could have easily gotten out of hand. Good luck going forward.

Congrats to the Cougars. Gameball to #5 Cooper. Nice offense, but knew our offense was average. Road the back of our defense. Best of luck going forward.

I hope he is okay. T-High coach said he was a special talent and he is the only one to really gash our defense.

Who said folks don’t play defense in high school football. Heck of a first half.

Safe travels to all and may the best team win. Obviously I hope the Tigers are the best. I return after the game to congratulate the Cougars on a fine season or horrors at the thought best of luck going forward. Thank you to those of you willing to discuss the game.

A good ballgame by two very good teams that match strength v strength. The best team will win. How many times do you want to flip the coin?

All for the don’t get respect card😎

Stanford is a straight up guy. I believe he understands the quality of life of students from the age of 19 to death is more important than a football game. It is all about priorities and hopefully it is a life lesson.

I think you have fairly assessed. The only thing I would correct is the assessment of Stewart as a track kid playing running back. He is a running back with speed. You are correct he is different from the AMC back who is a power back. He is a patient back. Some backs run full speed to the called hole in the line. He is patient for the holes to open and is deceptively strong. He is a quality back and his backup is a tough runner. Our OL is down a step from last year and they are going to open up some holes. I do expect the Tigers to try to have sustained drives to reduce the number of possessions the Cougar offense has and to keep the defense rested. I agree that the Tiger offense cannot win a track meet with Crosby.

They could have had same issue 🤷‍♂️

Someone posted on another board. The school calendar is correct and four players did not make their grades. The kids were ineligible for the Texas City game, but were eligible for the PNG game as TISD was off all week for Thanksgiving (UIL allows kids to play during the holidays). As school is in session this week, they are again ineligible. They were eligible for the Fulshear game as it was played on Thursday and grades came out Friday. Not sure exactly how it works, but I suspect they regain eligibility next Friday. Makes the task Friday harder for sure. Hope this answers the questions and quashes concerns on participation in previous games.

I don’t live in the area, so have no clue. Have no clue if any players out with grades. Another possibility is they broke team rules and are being benched. Honestly too far removed from the program. Thanks to live-streaming, have been able to watch 11 of 12 games. My views are through the lens of a camera held by a student in all but the PNG game.
