Eat em up Ganders.

I see now McElroy was #3 on the Austin American statesman Fab 55 as a senior.

I feel like Brandon Williams was the highest rated recruit out of Central.

Mark Crooms would be my choice if I was GCM. I think he would want to stay there and could get some excitement being a Baytown guy. To speak to some other topics in the thread, Baytown Lee had a good run from 1994 to about 2007. It was a pretty good, long run with a shot or two or three in there to make a run at the state semifinals. I think the Ganders could surprise some people this year. They finally have a set of athletes coming together in close enough grade levels to be competitive. I guess we will see.

Good season ganders. Next year should be in playoff contention. They will have a lot of guys returning

Lee has some good athletes for the first time in a while. Just wish they had more depth. Next year they should be pretty good with both the QB and running back regurning.

First time in over a decade I have heard a team playing Lee claim to be out manned. I doubt Lee has over 80 kids in the entire football program

Lee looked good. I know it was Pasadena, but Lee and Pasadena have probably been equals the last five years. Kiki Davis, the sophomore running back for Lee is going to be a handful this year. He had two long touchdown runs. The QB for Lee, Wooley, has improved the passing a bit. He wasn't able to run much due to being a scrimmage but that's still his best ability. Receiver, montrell Morton, had two long touchdowns All told, Lee had 6 tds to zero for Pasadena I believe it was. The gander defense looked pretty good for the first little bit then they took out davis, who doubles as an inside linebacker. And it was more of a bend but don't break defense. This will turn into a bend and break quickly against better teams. If they can get any blocking at all, Davis is going to be fun to watch this year and the next two.

Going down a classification means you have lost the proportionate number of kids that were causing you to be in 6a in the first place. It's not like they get to go down to 5a and keep all the same number of athletes.

Ganders with a 51-44 win over Kingwood park.

Ags would likely have lost to tcu, Baylor, Texas, smu and Houston this year.

Oh man. Who do I need to pay off to ensure that Baytown Lee district?

Never forget Sam proctor doing this against North shore in the playoffs.

Eat em up ganders.

This isn't peewee league soccer. There are no participation trophies in adult conversations. Only merit based points, not how many bolded words you can make, carry weight. Using circular logic and pretending to misunderstand the gist of the discussion have no merit. I will give you one more chance to have a real conversation or you can remain at the kiddie table and continue with your silly dicsussion devoid of substance.

If you're going to be disingenuous then no need to have a conversation. I said 5a. Dallas has a majority in two regions. Houston is mostly in one region with one district in another region.

Manvel has played the tougher schedule no doubt. Angleton has absolutely destroyed everyone on their schedule though. They have only had less than a 21 point lead at the half three times all year. Both times against Foster and against flour bluff. Foster was a really good team and they beat them twice by 27 or more. Manvel will not have seen a team as explosive on offense as angleton is.

Dallas has two regions in 5a while Houston has only one. It would be astonishing if Dallas didn't have two representatives each year in that classification. Dallas is landlocked and forgot to annex all of the land surrounding it, so they have many more small communities that play at smaller classifications and have one school towns. Any other questions?

It's no coincidence that the Houston teams whipped that Dallas ass like a rented mule the year it was played at NRG a few years back.

I don't think anyone is blowing out this angleton team. They are fast and talented.

As a gander fan....whatever keeps us from being in the same district as manvel.

Didn't little cypress mauriceville score 44 on silsbee in the first half? Whatever stuff Carthage got figured out, gilmer would have also gotten figured out at the same clip, meaning the game would likely end up similar to the first one. Maybe silsbee just isn't very good. LCM laid half a hundred on them in one half nearly. Kilgore beat LCM by 50.

Don't have false starts and bad throws then. That's part of what makes a team good, better or best.

Of course not. The discussion was talking about Carthage compared to larger classifications.

Exactly. This is ridiculous hyperbole by Carthage fans. I can think of 20 teams in the Houston area alone that would just obliterate the line of scrimmage every play against Carthage and would likely hold them to negative yardage for the game until the lead stretched out to over 50.
