Congratulations to Liberty Hill, definitely played with emotion and a great plan. There offense is so unique it may be enough to win state next week. To Crosby, it hurts now but you had another outstanding year. You are putting your name in statewide contention with the Jaspers, Marts, La Vega s, Westfields, and the like. Have a great Christmas break and start working for next year👍🏻🐻✝️

Crosby is nothing like those teams.  The Coogs don't even one state championship.

Texas High hasn’t scored 50 all year.  And won’t do so tonight either.  

Didn't ever need to score 50 but they could have.  They would not have needed 50 tonight either.

Stepp has TX High by 7.   This is what he does for a living and he see's it as a close game.  I just don't see either team running away with it.  I know TX high is a good football team.  I think they may be underestimating Crosby a bit.  

Who is the "they" you are talking about that may  be underestimating Crosby.  Are you speaking about the fans?  If so, then what they "think" does not matter at all.  I am a THS supporter and I can only attest to what I have seen with my own eyes and heard with my own ears from participants who are directly involved.  I have not seen an opinion or statement on this forum posted by a THS player or coach.  Now, if one of the two previously mentioned THS entities is underestimating Crosby, then yes, there is a problem.  Now until you get a statement or opinion showing a state of underestimation in regards to Crosby from a player or coach, then you have no basis to make any such statement.  I assure you that the Tigers are giving the Crosby all of the respect that deserve plus some more while remaining confident in their own abilities to win this contest.

Some are talking about the supposed struggle that THS had against LC.  Yes we also had a bigger struggle against Nac.  The game conditions on those two Friday nights were very similar except that one was the day after Thanksgiving on the road and the other was on a playoff Friday night at home.  No, THS has not been involved in a shootout all season as many of their games were over by halftime.  Crosby won by 66 against a goose egg the last time out.  Looks to me like Crosby's history says that they have not been tested since early in the season.  As a THS fan, I will take some adversity to let the team know that victory is not always easy to achieve.  After listening to the Tiger HC this morning, I have a pretty good idea of the talent level and speed of Crosby.  THS may not have the track stars that Crosby has but they are not lining up offensive linemen at wide receiver either.  Believe that.  Neither team can do anything about the strength of the district that they compete in. So saying that their record is artificially inflated is, to me, a bit disrespectful.  THS played the teams that were on their schedule just like Crosby and no matter who Crosby has played they came up short three times.  So don't inflate yourselves using the quality of the teams that beat you.  Throw the rankings out.  Throw the computers out.  The game is going to be played on the field and the variables that will dictate either teams victory or loss won't be, and cannot be dependent on the polls, rankings, or even by what happened in last week's game.  Go Texas High Tigers!!!

Don’t think that scrimmage got very far.   Fight broke out and was called off.  Longview ran gassers in front of the scrimmage crowd.

For everyone's information, the fight broke out at the end of the portion of the scrimmage that is like game action conditions.  Actually they got the best of Longview.  You can count it however you want but I guarantee you that it got the attention of not only the LV players but everyone who viewed the live streamed scrimmage.  Everyone in Northeast Beast Texas on the 5A an 6A level had a feeling that the Tigers had a very good chance to be special.  They have beaten everyone that has been put in front of them and they are not "just glad to be here."  The game is coming very soon and let the chips fall where they may.  The scrimmage may not mean anything to SETX fans, but who cares???

I don't think other folks watch ETX football. Texarkana ball can easily be found on youtube, that's where I watch em at. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Games are also on FaceBook on the Texarkana Gameday channel.

Check the Crosby isd athletic website on Tuesday 

There is a link posted on the Texarkana Texas ISD website. You will have to create an account either on your mobile phone or pc first.  Then you can purchase tickets easier on your mobile phone.  Got to have an account number first.

Nobody said Marshall was as good as last year. That’s why they went .500 and missed the playoffs. The point was they ran through that district last year and got hammered in the first round. TH struggled for three quarters with LC who gave up over 40ppg in their three district losses. I haven’t see anybody say Crosby is unbeatable either. Your earlier comment works both ways. Y’all don’t have a handle on what Crosby is or isn’t either. 

I get it dude, Crosby is the GOAT...whatever.

Well, these are the situations you end up in when you continuously lose district championship games the last contest of the year. Instead of playing Pine Tree like Nederland is, Crosby gets to play the team that beat them 44-0 in district play earlier this year. 

I think the one positive for Crosby is the way Huntsville was able to maul Marshall in bi-district after they went 7-0 in the same district last year. Marshall didn’t have a Clayton Smith either though. We’ll see how Crosby deals with what I feel is the most dominant player in 5A. Kid is like D.K. Metcalf on offense and Jadeveon Clowney on defense.  

 

The Marshall of last season is definitely not the Marshall of this season.  Clayton Smith is not the only quality player that Texas High has on either side of the ball.  I will not go into what other players that they have and I will just let everyone find out Friday night.  From what I can see, and I am new to this site, is that none of you really have a handle on what THS is or is not.  That is why the game is played and I doubt, very seriously that the Tigers will be anyone's pushovers.  No one team is unbeatable.  Not Crosby or anyone else.
