this lee senior group was vey stout as freshmen.  i saw them whoop west brook by 30. the underclassmen dont have a wealth of talent, but they do have a couple of selected guys that help out. im not sold on the 4-0 either. this team is a little more refined and workmanlike than last years. they may have slightly less raw talent, but they play up to their potential better. lets not forget that lee jumped on gcm last year and then let the patriots back in the game.

Lee has three or four good athletes on offense.  Zellars, Cedeno, Gomez and Leonce are all good. Zellars is the best athlete, but the other three are all capable. If Lee does not commit a lot of penalties or turn the ball over they should be able to put up 35+ on GCM.  That's a big "if" though. I doubt that Lee can stop GCM either though. I would guess 40-35 one way or the other. 

That link has a related video of the Sterling-Laporte freshman A game..... not looking good for the Rangers.

Not sure what a Christian coach has to do with it. You need a coach that can lead and teach.

Pretty sure the coach is doing what he feels is best. You have to consider that if he was the second coming of Nick Saban, he wouldn't be coaching high school football in Baytown, TX. He is doing the best he can I am sure.

Man, this team that Ball is putting out there wouldn't beat a Ball JV team from the mid 90's. It's sad to see.

Don't I know it. My niece goes to Dawson.  Not going to want to talk high school football with her after they finish thrashing Lee.  Manvel proper really doesn't have any neighborhoods, so I guess they end up coming to the Lakes of Savannah or all the way up into Shadow Creek Ranch.  Maybe they even come on down my way and end up going to Hightower or Ridge Point..

That's what I suggested to my wife, but man, that is such a far place to randomly go. I am looking at the map now on Google, and I guess it makes a little bit of sense if they just go straight up HWY 6. Manvel is not too far up the road past Santa Fe.

Where did all of the Galveston County players go? LaMarque is in 3A and seems to be low on athletes.  Ball does not have a single good athlete on the entire team.  TC has a few, but their numbers seem low. I am just wondering who the beneficiary is of all this?

I actually think Gibson is a much better defensive player than offensive...but that still does not explain why he only played one play of defense.

Texas City had over 600 yards of offense according to the Chronicle. I know LaMarque shut them down earlier this year.

Will be the first real game for Lee is what concerns me most.

Thanks a lot. I was just starting to feel good about Lee, and you have to drop the Tate and Johnson bombshell on me  :'( Lee actually is not entirely bad this year.  Best team since the Jeremy Moses team that should have beaten NS in the playoffs. I bet Ball fans are missing the days of Lawrence Richardson and Marvin Jackson though.  Maybe even a John Humphrey might help them out. They are truly dreadful.  Sam Rayburn would take them behind the woodshed.

8 minutes 38-0 I'm out

Yep gonna be hard to take anything from this game.  Ball is terrible.

Sterling needs to schedule ball. Tors have two first Downs I believe and probably negative yards. Playing some sort of rugby looking offense where they just take the snap and essentially turn it into a Scrum and try to push the pile forward. Occasionally they might pitch it but that tends to result in a fumble. Lee with a 27 yard td run by cedeno 38-0 5:50 3rd

Ganders go 65 on four runs. 31-0 10:05 3rd

Can't believe this big ol dude on the ball drill team dropped into that split like that impressive work

Int Lee on first play Excellent play by 21 Lee taking their time here Down to 30 seconds after a first down.  Lee let 25 seconds just tick away. LOL Just ran the clock out. Showing compassion already? still a ballgame here 24-0 half time

Lee trying to remind us that they too are mistake prone. Ball is just more undisciplined than Lee. Lee running all up and down the field then getting into first. And 25 with penalties Trying too hard to establish passing game when zellars could just run around the corner for ten every play. I guess they are looking to future games but I don't feel confident yet in this victory even with as horrible as Galveston is. Lee scores again 1:42 til half 24-0

Ball fumble.Lee scores on first play. Penalty calls it back. Lee first and 25 now at ball 33. Gonna try a 45 yard fg Wow. Line drive. Made it

Another ball three and out. Another Lee td drive of 45 yards. 14-0 4:20 left in first

Geez. I thought lees talent level had fallen off a cliff. Ball looks absolutely pathetic.  Lee up 7-0 after a ball three and out and a Lee score on three runs covering 40 yards

3-0 hasn't helped lees attendance

Ouch
