Best thing Smoaky has going for them is when you return to a topic you've already reviewed, it will automatically take you back to the spot in the thread where you last left off reading. It makes going in and out very convenient. 

Our traffic has always been more than Smoaky's. Day or night, weekday or weekend.

Check the game thread on Friday. 

My interpretation of phrase 3. 

14.2 is my entertainment as I watch the phased evolution of his outlook.
Phase 1 - Doubting that the coach can walk and chew gum at the same time
Phase 2- Screw it we’re moving to Dayton this is BS
Phase 3 - Meet with Coach and he’s ….ok maybe we win 2 games
Phase 4- (current phase) Recruiting season begins and kids from around the state flock to Crosby.
Phase 5- (entering this phase) Practices begin everyone is huge, fast and better than any team in the past. We might just win 5 games
Phase 6- Beatdown from King lowers expectations, but King is the best team in the country so who knows
Phase 7 - plays well against FBM …. We may just make it to state …hell yeah

Phase 8- (Final Phase) beats Lee to death then gets embarrassed by BH at home. 14.2 exits the board till playoffs.

Never gets any easier moving classes. Always run into another strong program. Thats why I think TX football is so elite, quality programs at all sizes.

Interesting that the distinction was made for 6A D1 and D2. Since they are not pre-divided its more of a guessing game. 

If anyone is curious on which 12 schools the article is mentioning, here they are: 
Aledo - Possibly moving up to 6A Division I Brock - Possibly moving up to 4A Division II DeSoto - Possibly moving down to 5A Division I Fulshear - Possibly moving up to 6A Division II Granger - Possibly moving up to 2A Division I Gunter - Possibly moving up to 3A Division I Alvin Iowa Colony - Possibly moving up to 5A Division II Lake Belton - Possibly moving up to 6A Division II Liberty Hill - Possibly moving up to 5A Division I  Lindale - Possibly moving up to 5A Division II  New Home - Possibly moving up to 2A Division II Sherman - Possibly moving up to 6A Division II  

Very gud comparison of earl in high school.i pray that kid continues to do the little things well.i think he has a bright future ahead of him.

Hey WOS fans, I need your help. Is it fair to compare this player to Earl Thomas? Says he's 5'11 but I dont think so lol.

I think it's close. Speed and physicality. Special teams too. I looked it up and says Earl is 5-10. Maybe... standing on a 2x4. Lol

Guy is pretty convincing, has a lot of gravitas on the high school level. It’s a different approach than the last two guys but I think he’s made some solid hires of alumni recently to work in different capacities that could help stabilize the program, if not anything else. 

I don't want to hype R4..... BUT..... If there was going to be a year where they made it to state, this is about as good as any. Honestly cheering for them. 

Been watching a few of their games on YouTube, they were damn good last season. Alot of youth too, felt like the whole team was a majority of sophs and juniors. The freshman starter at RB and freshman starter at CB from last season are going to be VERY good! 

if you are an established program with the hardware to back it up, it can take a while. La Marque finally has been buried. what kept them around is they would show life for two years then drop off for another 3. when a team has deep runs(semi or state) with multiple championships, people still hold on to the glory days. Lincoln basketball my junior year went down as one of the worse teams in school history(didn't even make the playoffs) but was ranked the next year lol
 

Just a guess, but LP’s fate would seem to hinge on Keenan’s full recovery & how they cope with zero home games. The JV was successful & talented. How they can contribute to varsity will also be key.
Being in the system for a year now should help. Yes. I could see them being a strong contender. I don’t see them being 6th.

I hear ya. PSJA North went 13-1 making it to the region final losing that game by 6. They return 21 starters from last year. That's enough for me to feel ok with ranking them #9. 

I think it's pretty solid. We both know there are teams that will come out of nowhere and have a really good season. Kinda like Burleson Centennial last year. Others I'm probably overrating. No doubt Region 2 is the most stacked in 5AD1. Gonna be brutal making it out. Should make for an exciting season. 
1. Aledo
2. Longview
3. Lancaster
4. College Station
5. Mansfield Timberview
6. Smithson Valley
7. Midlothian
8. Port Arthur Memorial
9. PSJA North
10. Georgetown

And that's cool. Carthage definitely had the better QB and coach but I think Longview was better in the trenches and skill positions. #5 for Carthage was a baller but I don't see him going off against the LV secondary. What makes Carthage so good in my eyes is their advantage with size and athleticism. I don't think that would be the case against the Lobos.

Why? Because he think’s Longview would win by 3-4 TDs? 

I hear ya. PSJA North went 13-1 making it to the region final losing that game by 6. They return 21 starters from last year. That's enough for me to feel ok with ranking them #9. 

Still bizarre not seeing Denton Ryan, Manvel, or Cedar Park in the top 10. Very good programs trying to get back to the top. 

I don't care what Marshall coaches think lol. 

Saw your top 10 of 5AD1 on the 6A site, I can't disagree with it 🤷🏾‍♂️ @AledoAlumni
