Hats off to the coaching staff and to the players.  Coaches had them prepared and the players performed.  The Crosby Cougars motto this year is "MAAB, Men All About Business".  If you look at statistical leaders you won't find any Crosby players; the teams is balanced and doesn't rely on 1, 2 or 3 players to dominate a game. 

Actual score should have been 35-0 except for the "inadvertent whistle" on the interception from the official on the other side of the field.  Was that official from Dayton? I digress, but a few of the fans would've like Flanigan to run up the score.  He didn't and that shows the class he has and he professes that his players have the same class.  I wonder if the roles were reversed if Stewart would have taken the knee?  We'll never know.

Good job Cougars!

the answer to that is yes.

We could've scored 70 2 years ago in the playoffs. I believe we were at 49 at the end of the 3rd quarter.

congrats on the win Crosby.... Good luck the rest of the way.

I heard a rumor that Stewart one year refused to shake hands after a win one year...... Is that true?.... I heard he just waved at the Crosby coaches and his team just ran off.... If that is true then shame on him.... in fact, that shows Flannigan has real class to extend his hand after that win!

Ok Dayton fans, tell me this: When you saw the Crosby team take the field, you were thinking, no way this team beats us. They are all about 5'2" (with the exception of Merka and #4). But I kid you not, that defense brings the wood!

don't know what you were looking at but Crosby has 4 WR over 6' 1'' two over 6' 4".  The line is not that big but can block. the D backs and LB are not that big but can bring the wood.

Talk about real class.  When Payton Ploch was hurt, you could hear the Crosby coaches cheering because he was hurt.  I could hear this through the radio broadcast.  Sounds like our announcers are real close to the Crosby coaches in the press box.

    Made me wonder.One of their (Crosby's) players ran and shoved a Dayton player after a play was WAY over the kid from Dayton was walking away and the kid from Crosby came and shoved him hard.No ref saw it.EVERYBODY else did.Crosby was on their game Dayton wasn't.

That hit could be heard at the top of the bleachers and the ball came out.  It was right by our sidelines and the whole crowd was going nuts. I am sure that was what the coaches were cheering about.  The QB got up and walked off so it was not as he was just laying there.

As for the pushing play on the Dayton side, I watched that play very closely.... the dayton player him pushed him first when the play was dead and then the Crosby player did push him back.... y'all just see what you want to see... still not right on Crosby's part but I believe the coaches pulled him right after the play....

As for the X factor.... he did flip off the crowd with 2 hands..... and he was throwing punches on the first play that went out of bounds.  the ref first recognized this and said out loud "they are both out of the game!!!" Crosby thought their rover was out and pulled him off the field then saw X on the next play. I guess he changed his mind. As for the weather conditions, I believe Crosby had to play on the same field with the same weather conditions.  I believe they put the ball on the ground 3 times to, just were good enough to cover them.  anyways does not matter. the game is over.

Good game men......It is amazing what can happen when you believe in yourself........ Now on to North Forest!!

OK I will believe you after you can tell me how many times my cell phone rang during the game and what was the license plate of the car I was driving.

You seem to have seen and heard everything that happened in the stadium.  This is only a test.  It sounds like you were on the top row for the hit on Ploch and on the sideline for the call by the official or maybe you just heard this from someone else who heard this from someone else.

no was there. and the hit was so hard that you could have hear it from the parking lot. I watched the game very closely... I heard the ref say they were both out...... as for your phone i guess it was on vibrate.

rain is the best time to throw the ball.... no one expects it and the gloves made today are made to stick with wet weather... both have a strong running game but cuts will be difficult in wet weather.... got to love the game tonight.....

word of advice.....frog togs!!!!!

FINAL

Dayton 9th B 22

Crosby 9th B 14

Dayton scored with 13 seconds left to break the tie.

close game.  Just could not hold on!! a fumble insinde the 20 with 1 min left hurt us!!! Keep fighting men!!!

kirbyville big!!!  love those cats!! Go out and get your first district win men!!!

what do you think the rain will do to performance? any guesses?

What is there to talk about, Dayton has a better football team than Crosby. Stewart is a better coach than Flannigan. That's not taking anything away from the kids, they still prepare and play hard. I would love to talk smack about it, and I would love to see Crosby win, just don't see it happening. Let's continue this discussion later with Basketball, Softball, and Baseball. You still have to applaud the kids no matter what they do, win or lose. It's just nice to have bragging rights.

In this quote lies the problem!  way to support your program TEL.... could this mentality be filtering down to the Kids??   if they are doing what you say; putting their heads down when the first time it goes bad, saying they can't  beat them, and then blaming the coach?   this is the same mentality of the above statement.!!!!

Is this what you want to teach our kids?  If it is going to be tough, quit and don't worry about it and blame someone else?????

Victory happens in the mind first......Instilling disbelief will crush a team, on and off the field.  My suggestion is shut your mouth unless you have something positive to say especially about your home town!!!!!

Wow, Hitman I thought a winner is always the one who is able to give his opponent what he has earned.  If I remember correctly Dayton has been the better team for sometime know.  Until, that changes it is just plain and simple the truth.  If you look at Flanigan's record vs. Stewart it looks like Stewart has the overwhelming edge in the head to head also in the amount of playoff visit's and depth in the playoff's.

I don't recall reading anything about let's not try, just give up or they have no chance.  In fact, I think he said they will prepare and play hard, that just reaks of negativity.     

You are quite the role model, shut your mouth unless you have something positive to say!  Take some of your own advice, everyone in Crosby would like to see a win this year.  Odds are it might not happen this year.  If you don't like what you hear then don't post on the site, not everyone has to believe or follow your wishes.

It just fustrates me when ADULTS don't see the big picture.  and ya'll are not seeing the problem either... what ever.......

I am positive, positive that the Coogs are going to pull this win out even if THEIR COMMUNITY DOES NOT BELIEVE!!!! (their is my whole point in big letters for the people not understanding me)

Dude, how are those anger management classes working out for you? I don't have a dog in the fight, and I do support the programs. Not saying they can't win, didn't blame the coach. Didn't say a word about quitting, are you in never never land? Kids, this is why it is important to say no to drugs. Education is the key!! Get some more of it!

I don't have a dog in this fight. I gotta go with you on this one ,TEL. I thought your original was honest and realistic....and praised the kids. Maybe I read the wrong post.

Not a secret that Dayton has the best team right now. This isn't YMCA ball where everybody played a great game and both teams won the game.

Just my unsolicated two cents.  

Thanks, that's kinda what I was thinking.

take another look at YOUR above quote.... It is in bold... and think of what you are saying... does not sound real positive to me....... to prove my statement every dayton and BH fan is agreeing with you!!!  It is the little things that make a difference!!

we talk with our actions on the field!!!! don't like crow, but you might want to put some A1 on yours!!

Kirbyville lost a lot of players last year but has a talented group coming up to go along with their ace Kale Jones. their JV was district champs and have strumbed teams on more than one occasion such as Jasper, Silsbee and Buna. they should make a good run this year with state on their minds next year!

Hey Hitman,

Perhaps you could add PN-G to your lists of teams that ya'll have played with great playoff experience and a huge history.  Let's see, PN-G has 3 state titles, 6 state finals, and a 3 National Ranking.  Pretty Impressive.  

yes you had a good football team.......IN THE 70'S. the purpose of that post was to stress that just because we got beat by a really good team, does not mean we suck.......And you haven't played anyone that good in a couple of years.....

You are right.  La Marque and Brenham, they were just push-overs when we played them.

I don't call Brenham who was 8 - 5 and La marque was not that good who lost in the second round a powerhouse..

whining about officials is justified when one team is penalized 155 yards and the other 7.  I am sorry even the oakland raiders don't get penalized that much.  It is a long standing joke that you can't get into the end zone in midcounty.  Look at Friday, did not see many flags but one came flying in when Barbers Hill was standing in the End Zone. And now since they changed the NCAA rules (no ref can officiated a high school one night and a college night the next) It's just going to get worse by officials..

Hmmm PNG only had 7 yards of penalties?? heck I remember get back to back 12 men in the huddle penalities. So get your facts together.

was not talking about the Barbers Hill game.... try the crosby game 2 years ago...

Don't the coaches agree on the refs? Already making excuses!

did not that year. made sure this year

I'll go with PNG to win this one 27 to 21.. Another close one at home for PNG, but I think they will prevail.

you are right. a close one because it is at home for PNG.  refs will keep it a close game.  I wonder if we will see the 17 - 2 penality ratio this year.

as for lighting up the score board, I highly dought it. when you can only put up 2 TD's on 7 turnovers it does not say much about your offense.

I already was annoyed by this poll, but Crosby got the ever loving crap kicked out of them and they moved into the Top 40 after not being ranked before!!! Come on!!

ya well PNG in the top 25.. they are horrible.... a miss fieldgoal against a bad team let them win the game. the people doing these rankings dont watch the games.... just look at the score board..they dont read the fine print.

Kville will fight them even in the streets and put a whoopin on those dawgs!!!!!!    ATA Wildcats!!!!!

The cougars had better hope the zebras are on their side. It appears they will need them.

have y'all even seen Ennis. or even a team of that caliber ever???  what 4 time state champs, 3 sense 2000 and state finalist. My guess would be NO!!!!

Yes we had a meltdown in one quarter (40+ in the 2nd) but those coogs are mad and ready to knock the piss out of someone.  My guess is the Indian will not be doing many dances on Friday night...

Crosby by 14

Crosby did not have all of there starters when they scored...

After a little checking around found that Caleb will be moving back to play in Louisiana.  It seems that he has a scholarship to play for University of Louisiana Lafayette and it was suggested he finish HS in LA.

Congrats to Caleb Kellogg and best wishes on a good college career!

With the way he has played this makes NO SENSE at all, after all ULL is not the only school recruiting, and with his talent there will be others, BTW is he a senior this yr??

sure this makes sense.....It will save the $2000 a semester in out of state tuition...  not many scholarships you can give in baseball.... so they split money... some will get tuition, some books, some housing, etc.  rarely do you get a full ride.....

They just need to change the amount of scholarships for all sports to a team roster at least.  only football has the full amount....some on scholarships sitting the bench.....

Why don't they you say?????.......you have to have just as many female scholarships as male....so most have to cut back to equal the amount. 

I know it was early thurs. but did anyone go....how did Orangefield do?????
