Separation Scientist

One thing I sincerely appreciate about you is you shoot straight. You are on the level about everything. Crosby aside, it comes down how each person views it. It all reminds me of the “roid rationalization” if others are doing it, then we have to too if we want to win. I know I am in the minority here, but I never want to gain anything as a result of bending or gaming the rules. I don’t want to have any advantage the whole field does not have. I want to win straight up with what I have at home, nothing more. Old school mentality, I know, I know.

Well I will give ya this. Crosby is THE best Baytown team in the state by far. Congrats.

I think the whole district ought to surrender to Crosby right now. Cancel all the Crosby games, Give ‘em trophy, and everyone else play for 2nd-4th. Why even bother.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Do it KUBE!

How many times did Dodgeball win state?

It’s one thing to stay humble but that’s shameless sandbagging by the Crosby coach.

Agreed. The way to beat FBM is to dominate the LOS and eat up the clock with sustained scoring drives. Don’t get into a shoot out with them.

The GOAT.

Montgomery will be solid but definitely not spectacular. I don’t see BU getting blown out.

If they do score 50+, how close would BU be? I do not see this a blowout by any means. BU is not that bad.

How do you explain Evans at EC, Stump at Brook, Alvarez at Kirbyville, Haynes at Hardin, and Tarver at BC? You left those out in your attempted rebuttal.

Thats a good list. That was Claude Tarver that went from Hamshire to Bridge City. mrtomcat did not have to wait long, apparently.

The Eagles hope to solve the State Championship equation with a Newtonian solution.

Yes, I have heard it both ways.

Nothing could be keener than to be in "Pasadeener" in the morn-ing. Sorry, I know that flew over 90% of heads here. 😀

I can see that too. ^^^ I think every one agrees Franklin is 1 and the 2-5 teams are the same four regardless how they are ordered. Then I think there is a real gap between 2-5 and 6-10.

Port Arthur has a good chance for a deep run. .

Canadian seemed to be emotionally hung over from their huge win over Gunter the week before. They played uncharacteristically flat until the 2nd half. The mark of a great team though is being able to reach for the gas and find it at crunch time, and they were able to do it.

I think DCTF has it exactly right. Finalist Franklin, if I recall, had almost everyone coming back, while Canadian had a Senior heavy State Champion team. Gunter will be revenge minded in the semis after Canadian blasted them 33-6 last year. The athleticism of Waskom and Newton will always have those two in the hunt.

I think you are right. They would likely be favored against KP only, in the first half of the season. They probably will be 1-4 overall. After that you have a battle hardened BH team 1-1 in district play and ready for their next 5 district games.

I am sure the BH fan base will not judge Abseck on just the first half of his first season. Even if BH does start 1-4, they are likely 1-1 in district and may very well make the playoffs. Want to bet against it? Years 2 and on will likely be even better under Abseck. Again, clearly this Abseck hire has rattled you.

Generally they have not been mentioned along with the usual DFW suspects, like Allen, HP, Aledo, Duncanville, Argyle, etc. I think they are about to join the conversation.

I am hearing some good things about Lovejoy from a friend up in DFW. He tells me they are flying under the radar but coming on strong. In the next few years they will be a force to be reckoned with.

I'll roll with College Station. They will be a tough out.

Well, I will give you this, you shoot straight about it. That's better than those who deny the obvious truth about players from other areas and schools transferring in to build up their program. It does make you wonder what Crosby and Goose Creek for that matter would be like if they all stayed at home.
