Congrats to Crosby. That Texarkana defense was impressive! Both teams were hitting and neither backed down. 

 

 

*side note- Lufkin needs a different midfield logo. That thing was wack. 

Lol I agree. New turf for sure

Crosby had a lot of pre-snap penalties that kept us behind the sticks on some of our drives and helped the TH defense but I can still probably count on a one hand the number of defenses I’ve seen play Crosby like that. We couldn’t see y’all again until the title game with the predicted realignment but I hope we do too. I think Crosby got a lot more respect last night winning a 14-7 game than we would’ve winning 62-42 again. Nothing but respect for y’all. 

Same here. Enjoyed watchin the athletes from Crosby past 2 years. Impressed with Crosby defense man didn’t have imo good as talent at db as last year so they showed a lot of different looks upfront to help get pressure. GreT game! If we do meet up it means both teams are having a pretty good season lol love to see it happen!

Thank you! Yall played a hell of a game as well. Nothing to hang hats about. I believe everyone left it all on the field. Good luck next season hope to see yall again

Only giving up 1 TD to Crosby should give you a chance to win every time. T high defense played good. Offense was in a hole from the start I guess #1 at wr was a player that didn’t take grades very serious didn’t see him last night. either way part of it at this level . Both ends for Crosby were causing problems all game. I thought Crosby defense deserved gm ball. 
 

Also..Crosby kicker was dang good. 

Great game. Go win next week Crosby. 20 made some big time plays on 3rd down. 10 is a very good player as well. Credit to Crosby defense tho. Played good from start to finish . It will have to be later in the playoffs with t high going to region 2 but love to see both teams meet up again. 

idk about players but if they are out makes things that much harder for Texas High

I never predicted either of those teams to beat TH, and I didn’t say now that y’all beat them that they aren’t good. I said I thought y’all would get about 24 and you got 31, big whoop. I said y’all were lucky to get TC in the second round because they could score. 
 

You haven’t seen an offense as good as PNG’s since Crosby which is why they scored the most points on TH since we blasted y’all last year. LMAO😭, you dbs couldn’t cover Chance Prosperie, you think they’re going to check Kirkwood. Lol, a corner with one D1 offer? Jaylon Gilbeau has 25 offers, turn on the tape of him trying to check Kirkwood. Nobody plays press man on Crosby and not get burned. 
 

You’re talking about our o-line but we ran for 352 yards on 32 carries on TH last year, we had a tougher time running the ball on Nederland. Based on the film I’ve seen we won’t have much issue with anybody in TH’s front seven. 
 

As far as TH not having to show anything on offense, I just don’t think there’s much to show. If Stewart can’t run for 200 yards on us TH won’t move the ball much at all. Y’all’s qb struggles to make basic varsity throws and he’s not much of a threat with his legs. Just on basic comeback routes against PNG I saw him throw one and take the receiver OB, he threw one wide and threw another one into the dirt. That’s without near the pressure he’s going to see from Crosby defense. 

Lol you’ve made it out like t high was gonna get beat every week regardless of a prediction really don’t matter but that’s the way it seemed . Don’t get so worked up it’s just conversation. It was 44-7 starting the 4th my man vs png #18 didn’t do much when it mattered offense as a whole didn’t do anything when it mattered db’s played off / starters were in/out of game after first play of 2nd half to make score 34-7 hallsville 24 points on t high and Nac scored 21 in first half vs thigh then defense got it together.  Imo Fulshear qb best they have played in playoffs so far. 

T high won’t play press all night that’s common sense they’ll go to it  1st and 2nd down some dependin on yardage sometimes on 3rd. Kirkwood is really good McCrumby at MP (headed to Baylor) Hale (#1 wr in 23 class)  at Longview . Derrick McCall committed to Texas played at Tyler also had Montrell Wade D1 offers at wr. 2 wrs at Marshall were pretty good as well. Db’s have seen players as good as Crosby has if they play like they have I think they’ll be fine that’s just my thought  I’ll be here if they do get “cooked” 

Yeah I don’t think oline is as good as Crosby had last year and I think t high dline even without smith still pretty good we’ll see 352 yards last year really don’t factor in to this game tho. 

Qb has had 2 games over 150 yards on the ground had over 100 yards or close to it vs Tc he can move around some. Including last year and this year #12 at qb has only had 7 interceptions so he not just all over the place like you make out. He’ll have to be good this week. This year they haven’t had to do anything special on offense doesn’t mean they can’t .Rb is 90 yards away from 2000 yards. Play good defense and runnin the ball gonna win a lot of games . He did throw for 3 tds and 285 yards vs TC as well so he is capable but even then tc played cover 2 and slants underneath were open all night so they didn’t have to show much then either imo.

You’ve only handled our district mates because y’all didn’t play Crosby in the second round like you did last year. You saw what we did in the second round to your district mate versus what y’all did to them though. Crosby may have 35 at the half against TH?
 

Yeah, TH’s defense is statistically 1.25ppg better than it was last year but I don’t really see anything drastically different that says they’ll be able to slow Crosby down. I actually thought the defense looked better with Clayton Smith last year, Brown plays that role now and he’s not near the player Smith was. Plus y’all still try to play that press man coverage we burned y’all in last year. Our district mates you had the success against didn’t have the personnel to take advantage of those flaws, Crosby does though. 
 

Offensively I just don’t think TH is all that great. They just scored 37 offensive points on the worst defensive team to make the playoffs from our district. Majority of those points were because PNG was taking bad run fits against that power play. QB consistently misses routine throws and I don’t see any stud playmakers on the outside. I don’t think Crosby is as physical as we were in the front seven last year but we’re faster and judging from the games I went back and watched I don’t think TH has the personnel to push us around up there like AMC did. 
 

I always say playoffs are about matchups and I think this is a much more favorable one than what we lined up with against AMC. AMC is a mirror image of BH and Crosby struggled with them too, very similar scores in those contest. We haven’t struggled with anybody else since early September though. 

Who is the pig playmaker Crosby has this year I need to watch ? #4? #20? Qb #10?just sayin . You were the exact guy predicting TC and png to beat t high. and now those teams are no good? Against TC it was you saying it was a great matchup for them and a trap game 24-17 type game and png you kept saying t high didn’t see an offense like Png since Crosby last year.  Yeah they wont be afraid to play man press cause they got a corner with a D1 offer 10 ints one in every playoff game so far. 15 at the other corner had a broke wrist last year vs y’all 2 year starter he’ll be alright neither one of them played vs y’all so they didn’t get cooked. No disrespect Not sure if you realize this but LB’s usually sure up a defense at the 2nd level making most of the tackles. Not even close they are better this year than last pure fact they can run  one LB with some d1 offers that wasn’t the case last year. and Brown will find ways to make plays . You’re right smith isn’t across from him so he gets a double team still has 13 sacks and probably 2-3 blocked punts few blocked extra points he will find a way to make an impact. 
 

imo Crosby oline is suspect 78 at left tackle and center 55 pretty big but outside of that we’ll see. If t high did lose players it’s gonna be uphill from the start. Not good when playing a team like Crosby but I think they’ll be up for it. Hope they are !  I think T high shows a little different look this week. We would have to go back to Jacksonville game to see plays open up they haven’t done anything special but they haven’t had to do anything other than run the ball to win all those games. I think it set them up pretty good coming in to this game just cause they haven’t had to show anything. Qb has had somewhat bad year but this one has been circled for him I think he’ll be ready. 
 

Only one senior I think for T high on the oline and they have got a lot better from earlier this year but # 40 for Crosby will be hard to block and he’s not only one . 

I’m thinking it’s gonna be a close game. Give me t high 31 Crosby 24

Prayers for png player. I do believe the talking went back and forth all game.. #3 one of their corners batted a ball down when it was 37-7 and followed t high receiver back to huddle talking . #13 the receiver you mentioned is a sophomore 5’7 maybe 160 pounds . I don’t think he intended to hurt anyone.

One observation I would like to make to what could have been a great game to watch.  The Official Crew should be reported to the UIL for their poor performance in keeping this game under somewhat of control.  The late hits with no flags was obvious and ridiculous.  The late hit by #13 after the play was over with 5 minutes left in the game was targeting and should have been ejected.  Until the officials make the right calls, Players will continue to get injured and certain teams and players will continue to take their shots.  Good luck next week Crosby and tell your kids to keep their head on a swivel...

I wouldn’t say either team played dirty but I agree some could have been avoided. We could say same about 53 and 48 standing over rb every time in on a tackle even when game was way out of hand. 13 didn’t get back in game after that hit. Credit to PNG coach and T High coach imo they stopped game themselves and got everybody off the sidelines to make sure some of that was stopped. 

Good win. Looking forward to this week. Good season png. A lot of tradition you guys have. Lots of respect 

Defense has answered the call. Let’s go tigers !

If I didn't graduate from Aledo I'd cheer for them to lose too. I'm not a fan of dynasties. 

lot of respect for teams that can keep it going for me lol I would rather ask how they do it than sit back and hate them for doing it

offers don’t always mean everything though Clayton smith for t high last year is getting playin time at OU right now but best players on the field that day vs Crosby was Dunn and other guy. Still big believer t high came out slow and wasn’t able to recover but . PNG needs to be  only team they are worried about .

That’s crazy because they’re all on the roster except Crites who’s the only one who doesn’t have an offer. Some of them did have different numbers though. You don’t get offers if you don’t play, you don’t have to be an expert to know that. That’s recruiting 101, this is probably just a more informed board than the one you’re used to posting on. 

#5 is a senior missed last year because of transfer picked up his offer when he was playin at Le. #7 wore 24 last year . 6’5 is why he got offered he didn’t play la. But yeah 13 was at rb vs y’all last year 2 was hurt brown and qb only ones that played against Crosby. Crite is fist year starter no offers but I do know he was on sidelines for Baylor last home game. He prob picks some up before long. 

hell 2 guys with offers # 5 and his little brother #1 moved in from LE. Hadn’t played at all until last 2 games of district . outside of last year don’t think y’all really know a whole lot about Texas high and yes today #22 corner that had a int vs Tc just got offered by Lamar. He played basketball last year . wasn’t on the team either . Other corner #15 broke wrist last year when they played Crosby . 27 Lb grades didn’t ply in playoffs.

Not really. They had all those same kids last year when Crosby ran through them, plus they had a kid who was almost a 5-star in Clayton Smith coming off the other edge opposite of Brown. That entire defense was a non-factor. TH hasn’t played an offense as good as PNG’s since they lost to Crosby. 

 

lol tha expert. how you know so much bout t high??  only ones that were on the team last year Brown at DE and the qb #12 out the group he listed . #2 came in to the game hurt and only played probably first 2 series if that.

Png will be ready to play this game . I’m hoping t high can bring same focus they have had past couple weeks. Texas High sophomore wr #1 and # 13 I hope have a good game came back and played well last 2-3 weeks only one senior at wr for Texas high I think #9 they have had problems with drops at times cant have that if they want to win this week.

Texarkana is also town like others with 4 high schools all open district meaning kids can come and go as they please which ever one doing the best players gonna usually go. T high didn’t really do a whole lot like you said and we saw LE got beat out by argyle deep in playoffs In 15 and 16 and PG has been on a run They won 2 titles in past 5 years in 4a. T high and PG both are goin in to 3rd round this week but maybe with new coach and t high winning in playoffs again they get back to what they were early 2000s

No doubt. 4th year for new head coach and he’s had more playoff wins in 3 of those years than they did in 10 . playin Greg ward (playing with the eagles ) Ronald Jones (Tampa bay ) in for 4 out of 10 of those years in first round didn’t help.  you’re right surratt left for Carthage and t high got stagnant for a while but if you’ve followed txk area they’ve had players leavin to go play every year, don’t think athletes were the problem. @MrFleet23

Crosby this Crosby that. Read the other day it’s the first time for team to make if past area round in back to back seasons. Let’s slow down a little bit. 

Don’t see where the holes are in t high defense you mention. They aren’t the best but pretty good. Less than 150 yards of offense for TC 40 yards being on a tipped pass that a wr caught. No t high didn’t sack qb but maybe he was throwing bad balls because of pressure ? They ended game with 10 TFL 2 sacks. tc was a running team . pNG is a passing team maybe those stats reverse . Big test hope they are up for challenge 

TC had to be able to run the ball to win. Dline was prepared for that. PNG prob leans on passing game more so i think that allows dline to try and get off ball and get after qb or least I hope. PNG is much better team on offense . Good luck both teams.
