I'm sure this thread will go off the rails but I do want to ask. Both Crosby and PAM had good starts against Longview. What contributed to the success not continuing? Was it play calling? Turnovers? Mental mistakes? Penalities? Experience? LV adjusting? How did the games slip away? Also what would have needed to change to have a different result?

I miss yall covering 5A! Still think yall should make an exception this time of year and cover us as well!

More than anything I am hoping for a competitive game that is fun to watch. But if I'm being honest wishing PAM comes out with an upset.

You can have athletes for days but give me the better football players.

Does PAM have good DBs?

Ah yeah, sounds right.

For what its worth PAM is now 15-15 all time in the playoffs! LV is 76-44-1.

The LV d-line is pretty dang good, your QB might not have a lot of time to throw to those WRs. Best chance is yall start quick and LV tries to catch up. How are yall against the run?

No doubt LV is the favorite but I think PAM can make things interesting. Crosby did for 1 quarter, LS did for a half, maybe its a trend. PAM should try and control the clock on offense and probably will need to sell out to stop the run on defense. Take your chances having the LV QB beat you.

He is a BIG kid

I think Texanlive has it.

Can you put in a good word? I have a snow cone stand in the summer and hot coco stand in the winter! TL Partners sound good lol.

What is the feeling going into this game? Excited? Nervous? Confident? Worried?

I think anyone really paying attention knows Timberview is not the 2nd best team in the state. They wont make the region final. Whether it is BH or Lancaster that beats them.

If the Forney game was close then I might go Timberview but yall dominated that game. Honestly it makes me want to pick BH but I just cant decide yet.

Here was my post from the 5A site, Timberview was a district mate these past two seasons and they are tough to beat. These last two years they ended Ennis' season when they had good teams. However its fair to say Timberview has not faced a lot of adversity this year and have not been tested. Barbers Hill on the other hand has this year. Their district is good and overall it was competitive for them. Timberview is ranked higher but Barbers Hill is battle tested. Having said all that I have no clue who wins.

I think the moment was too big for them. I still think they have a solid team but they could not stack positive plays together. When you find some plays that work keep going to them. I think the QB was seeing ghost. He didnt trust his O-line and stand in the pocket. He would bail early and most of the time he would scramble it did not turn out good for him. He had -52 yards rushing or something like that and also threw a pick when he felt under pressure. They had the right idea by controlling the clock but were not aggressive enough when they should have been. You are playing Aledo in Aledo without their starting QB. You should take some risk and go for the win.

Centennial played very well against Lake Belton. It will be interesting to see how that carries over against a much better opponent! To be honest I'd rather play Tascosa than Centennial again. Thats why I wasnt sad Denton Ryan lost to Red Oak. I like our district mates but its all about us now. But back to your post, I have done zero research on PSJA or Miller. I just think that Region comes down to them and CC Vets/Vela. May the best team win and they will have a legit chance against R3 this year imo.

If you want to see my 2nd round games. W2 (10-1) Tascosa vs R3 (10-1) Burleson Centennial W5 (11-0) Mansfield Timberview vs R8 (8-3) Barbers Hill W6 (11-0) Frisco Reedy vs R7 (9-2) Lancaster W10 (9-2) Angleton vs R11 (9-2) College Station W12 (10-1) Smithson Valley vs T10 (8-3) Manvel W14 (9-2) CC Veterans Memorial vs R15 (10-1) Edinburg Vela W15 (11-0) PSJA North vs R14 (10-1) CC Miller

Of Shoemaker?

I felt like Crosby was in their own way at times early on. It was 15-14 with LV mistakes and Crosby couldnt keep things in the right direction. The QB snap kept throwing the plays off. Never felt like Crosby was in any sort of groove.

They are long playoff trips but they are interesting games. Usually these types of matchups would have to be state finals but we get them early in the playoffs! I enjoy watching teams from different parts of the state play each other.

I dont think they get bonus points for beating the mecca. But they are the favorite.
