Crazy to me that people actually gave United some sort of chance against PNG when they didn't have a snowballs chance in hell of winning even if they played 500 times...then people think PNG is going to roll LP when the Bulldogs have an actual chance to pull off an upset. I know it's an SE board but c'mon.

LP 28-24

How far back do you have to go to find a time when both Dayton and Crosby were bad teams? Would have to be pretty far back I would think. Usually one of the other has been fighting for district championships for the last 20 years. I can't imagine either of these teams making the playoffs this year. I suppose last year was really the first year of it

Like I said.

Nothing at all wrong with being somewhat predictable. Lot of teams have won a lot of games doing fairly predictable things in and executing them flawlessly. I think when LP gets into trouble is when they venture too far away from their bread and butter moreso than becoming too predictable.

Bellaire is horrible. Even a mediocre team should beat them by 50. The fact that United struggled with them at all is not very encouraging. Goose Creek Memorial beat Bellaire by 20 last year and that was the second game of the season. After that they lost to everyone else on the schedule by 30 or more. It may not end up being a 50 point win for PNG bit it would be because they go ultra conservative and put in all backups in the second half. PNG will be up by 35-40 at the half.

I'm not entirely sure that last year's Dayton team wouldn't have also beaten last year's Crosby team. I'm sure it felt good for Prieto, but I didn't think either team looked better than the other in terms of execution or sophistication of what they were doing. I think the bigger question for Crosby is how did they let Riordan get away.

PNG by 50.

You have to be really feeling some kind of way for a different reason to not admit that plopping down 2,000 extra students that barely got here and barely know English is affecting the football team there..100% has to be some ulterior motive, some other argument that is being made by proxy with arguing this one, specific topic.

They have quadrupled their enrollment in ten years and doubled it in the last three years. You think all those recent immigrants are worried about playing football? Cleveland ISD has the highest percentage of ESL students in the state now..Higher than any in the valley. It's a really strange and unique circumstance in Cleveland that can't be simply explained away that hey they used to be good in foot all and now they are not.

12 years ago they had enrollment of less than 1,000....now they have 3,300. Imagine if Silsbee had 2,000 more students dropped in on them, none of whom play football, then they have to be in the district with North Shore, Summer Creek, Atascocita and CE King. They would get their butts worked over something fierce every weekend then all the good players would find a more reasonable place to play where they would have a chance. They are a 3a or 4a school playing in a 6a district. No one would want to subject the self to that, so likely their better players went somewhere else.

Agreed. Dayton and Crosby was some of the worst offensive football I have seen. A battle between one team who was so confident they couldn't complete a pass they would hand it off on 3rd and 4th and long and hope he miraculously breaks one and another team whose only pass play was to fling it deep down the sidelines and hope for a good result on a tipped ball. It was rough. LaPorte and DP on the other hand. Two teams that could execute and looked like they knew what they were doing.

Hard to comprehend how poor both of these passing games are for these teams. They both look like one of those games where the QB gets hurt and you have to put the receiver in there at QB to nurse things along til the end of the game, but they both looked like that from the first snap.

Had LP ran the ball every play of the game, they would have won by 10. Coach is going to be kicking himself tomorrow about this one

LP out coaching themselves this first half. Got away from the run too much.

I'm going to throw something out and not trying to jinx them. I think LP is a state title contender this year.

Make it a Google form and then the mods can publish them after the week is over

Lee appeared to get two scores in the live portion according to Hudl highlights. One in the controlled part for sure. That's just from the QB highlights. Not sure if maybe they scored in some other manner as well. Or did you mean 0-0 in regards to each Crosby QB?

Lee should be about like they have been more or less the last four years. Need to figure out the QB situation. Have 4 or 5 solid skill position guys that will all need to play both ways to some extent. Have an offensive line with several two year starters. Couple of solid linebackers. I have a feeling they will play Joseph at QB and be more of a run first team this year. Sterling has a really good quarterback. I'll need to see it to believe it that they will have a better year than Lee though.

Willis was the only team in the state with a chance against Desoto.

I think GCM is about 3-4 years away from turning the corner. If they can keep all the kids zoned to Green that is.

Oops. My bad. It just just gives me hope that Lee will be allowed to play in their appropriate level since all three can't be in the same district anyways.

I thought I saw that on the mock up. Maybe it was GCM? One of them was in a 6a district I thought.

Hopefully now that Sterling is forced into 6a, GCCISD will allow Lee to play in D2 where they should be since you can't keep all three together any more.
