He wore #2, safety and played pretty decent. Didn’t get any run at receiver, nor did the BH/Anahuac transfer get much? Lots of kids played on defense but the offensive rotation was kind of tight for a scrimmage. Wright is really the only player that has been playing both ways in camp and the inter-squad scrimmage and got meaningful snaps both ways against Lamar. 

Those are just pics from their media days in their game jerseys. Some of them wear different numbers in practice jerseys. He easily stands out because he still wears the black cleats and gloves from his GCM days. If you zoom in on the pic in the bottom left corner you can see #13 with “Samuel” written across his helmet in red tape.

If you come to the scrimmage tomorrow he'll be wearing #13. He ran with the #1 offense on Saturday during the scrimmage and stood out because he dropped a TD Eudy put right on his facemask. I would upload the HUDL film but you can't load pics and videos on here. 
Right now in the first two groups at receiver are Hammer(#21) and Samuel(#13) as the starters, Holman(#22 but #25 from last year), Brandt Wright(#1) and Odie(#12 BH transfer from Anahuac). 

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up The town of Crosby/Barrett Station always possessed talent. However, that talent often had to leave Crosby to thrive, even wayyy back then. Martin Lemond grew up in Barrett but had to attend Sterling in Baytown. Likewise with Brian Johnson, had to move to Lee to thrive. So I guess those parents were delusional too, yeah right. Do what's in the best interest of your children.

There is something to that. What sucks is when you have a bunch of homegrown kids and lose to one of those teams though. Almost everybody you play deep in the 5A and 6A playoffs have free agents though. It's just like the transfer portal in college now, if you want to be/stay competitive you get with the game. CE King looks like they're trying to become a Desoto to North Shore's Duncanville and one that they all have in common is open enrollment. The only way to combat playing some of those all-start teams is to get into the talent acquisition business yourself  

Yeah, the few that are still left are meeting with him individually this week and finding out their fates. IDK if it's to let the kids have camp time or because he wanted more time to build his staff but Summer workouts aren't even starting until June 12th this year instead of the Monday after school like normal. Seems like you would want the kids out there ASAP considering you'll only have 3.5 days on the job before he kids are out for the Summer.
I think the four day week got the teacher shortage taken care of. The pay scale is also getting closer to where it should be for a town with Crosby's tax base.  

I heard the same thing this weekend but why did we have to get to this point before she decided to give in to a basic ask that any decent coach is going to have for his kids? You can tell she's feeling the pressure because she made sure the practice fields and game field information got out to the "correct" people. 

Not since Kevin Flannigan left has a Crosby football coach played politics. Riordan wouldn't let some kids play defense but that wasn't politics, that was his coaching philosophy. The GCM receiver is going to start and might be asked to play both ways, he's literally been force fed the ball during 7 on 7 this offseason (games his dad and I watched together). The reason they left is more basketball related, they didn't feel Haggerty was enough of a team player and basketball was important to them so they went to GCM. The older brother isn't the level of athlete at the younger brother  

Trust me it’s that way here at PNG as well. The homers will eventually run Joseph off .  

"One thing for sure Crosby will play defense and the best 11 players will be on the field." Best 11, now this is where things gonna go left. For the most part Crosby is still a small town (IJS). From what I been told the previous coach had that same mentality. Led them to the state game and still had parent(s) knocking on his door about "playing time". 
We shall see and I wish him success!

All I can/will say is it wasn’t politics. P might have been one of the few coaches in Crosby history that didn’t do politics. 

I agree with you that Eudy needs to the be the QB. But come on, you gotta have more faith in Crosby finishing over .500 (LOL). Seriously I already hear of some issues in the program. That GCM (original Crosby tho) kid you are talking about, I hear some on the staff are playing politics and might not give him the run he needs. Did the same to the older brother. This comes straight from the Dad's mouth, no second hand info. As a Sophomore he was the leading receiver at GCM, so he can definitely catch the ball and pretty decent on the Bball court too.  Well he better sick to football, cause he definitely aint gonna get love from that wanna be BBall coach (ain't worth saying the name). I guess the politic is remnants from the parents moving them 2 years ago, not a talent issue. Thus you have confirmed his abilities as a slot receiver.

Great points of emphasis. You could do an Open Records request under the "the public information act". Sure they will try and stall and redact some info, but by law they have to release information. To include notes, emails and recording by all that's involved.

You know how critical I am of questionable stuff and I'm here to tell you I would've been 1000% Prieto starting starting his son at QB as a freshman if Eudy didn't play. Kid is an absolute stud and would've broken every passing record at the school except for maybe Kellen Haynes single season yards record. Remember that freshman QB that touched us up in the A&M Consol. game, little Prieto had that level talent. 

I would’ve liked to see someone younger. He’s had tremendous success at CP but no where else. Someone 36-46 with enough piss and vinegar to get the kids up and buying in. Not a someone their pawpaw age. 

This going to be interesting as a hire. I am not sure how things will work hiring someone that decided to retire then come back out of retirement. Seems like he is well qualified, but was he the best fit for a small town like Crosby (another thread needed for that discussion).

Word on the Skreets is Joe Willis former coach at Cedar Park, Colleyville, and Tyler Legacy. A bit old for my taste but hope for the best.

Looks like that transfer portal didn't workout to well for Crosby this year. This has to be the first time not being in the playoffs in many many years. Team future don't look too bright, not a lot of returning varsity player for next year. Their biggest hope is realignment.

PNG 19-17, Halftime

Thanks for the updates

Of course I am not gonna say for certain, but I do have some quality sources in the district admin bldg. The PG that left in 22 was involved in some internal teams issues/disputes etc..... The PG that left this year was supposedly a coach and player difference of playing styles. But I couldn't imagine as a coach letting players that can get buckets go to other school to sit on the bench and not be qualified.
I may be coincidental but the last 2 years in a row players (starters) departed to become ineligible at other school. Coaches should be cultivating talent. Per the state of Crosby's team they could have been used, but you know the DEC nor UIL wasn't having that.....
