I have no idea how they look. With gibson and franklin, they should be ok. I imagine a couple of those freshmen from CB may make varsity too. I would expect a shootout next week. I haven't seen Kenny Powers post in a while.  I think he may have the lowdown on RSS. Haven't seen GCM post either this year.  Maybe his son has graduated?

Maybe Jabu can shed some light on what exactly Lee was doing last night with the substitution patterns. I can't say as I blame the coach necessarily.  When you only have 28 guys on the team, and the whole team really revolves around those 7-8 guys that are actually really good players, you can't be messing around in scrimmage getting someone hurt. Selfishgly speaking, it made for a long night for me. After that second series of 1 v 1's which was after 8:00 pm by this point, I just KNEW they were saving the guys for a game portion or something.  Nope.  Sat around another hour watching to no avail. I really was not able to glean much from the scrimmage.  Lee has a horrible defense when Speedy, Zellars and Landry are not playing both ways.  I can't say as they would have stopped them if they had played both ways.  Probably not.  Which is again why I think we will find out much more about Lee next week. This week seemed more like an NFL pre-season game.  Very little playing time for anyone that will actually be playing on Friday night.

Sounds about right. Angleton's second and third team are definitely much better than Lee's.  As UHCoog pointed out so eloquently, Lee has a second team?Not really, it's just freshmen and sophomores that were brought up for this scrimmage to give enough bodies.  Angleton's guys were probably seniors that just aren't good enough to crack Angleton's lineup, but they are a hell of a lot better than these sophomores and freshmen guys that have no business being on varsity.  It was a score every other play once they got in there. Of course I wouldn't expect your buddy to be able to discern the difference between Lee's first and second team offense. Speedy, Landry, Zellars and Johnson simply didn't play more than 12 plays(if that) the whole scrimmage. Hell, they didn't even keep the first team in for the entire first drive of the whole scrimmage.  After 8 plays or so, the second team came in. Like I said, it was unusual. First team on first team it was 3-1 Angleton. But again, Angleton;s first team ran about 25-30 plays total probably on offense.  Lee's maybe 10-12, and Lee's first team was never stopped, never had to start over back at the 30.  They moved the first time to the 20 in 8 plays or so, and the second time they moved maybe 45 yards in 5 or 6 plays and then were pulled in favor of the second team. I felt that Angleton could have stopped Lee's first team a time or two though eventually, which is why I gave the score prediction I did.  No way Lee could stop Angleton.

Lee is in for a rough century. They just don't have anyone physical enough to play defense the way it needs to be played.  Zellars would make a good linebacker, and Richardson and Landry and the like would make good d-backs. They don't really have anyone that can do any penetrating and hitting. #8, I wanna say the other Richardson, is the only one that had any success getting into the backfield and making a play. It was just one mis-direction after another, creasing them up the middle, getting the edge with the greatest of ease. It was tough to watch as a Gander fan. I don't think Angleton would have had much luck stopping Lee's offense either though. Lee is going to have to out-score opponents. I'd like to see them next week in a real game when they are trying to put the best people in there to try and win a game. Then I will have a better idea of whether I need to waste my gas money driving from Missouri City to Baytown and beyond every weekend.

I think he got the ball about two times, and he had another that he dropped. He played probably two or three plays on defense. Probably only played 7 or 8 plays on offense truth be told. They never had a game portion. It was the most unusual scrimmage I have ever been to.  The first team probably only played about 15% of the time, if that. Lee may have been trying to avoid injuries.  The first drive lasted maybe 10 plays, and the last 4 of those plays had the second team. Lee's first team didn't get the ball again until about 75 minutes later. On that drive, they moved down to about the 35 of Angleton in 6 plays....then put the second team in again. Never saw the first team in again the rest of the night.  So, out of about 80 plays on offense probably, the first string was in on 10-12. Lee's offense looked potent enough. Johnson ran well, very shifty.  Zellars is a good runner.  Landry, Richardson, Randle and the other tall kid are all above average receivers. The offensive line left a lot to be desired, particularly with the pass protection, but I could be remembering the times when the second string was in. Second string for Lee means JV guys that suited up and third string means freshman guys that suited up for varsity. There were probably 28 guys on varsity in all.  I am hoping that a few more will turn up once school starts, but I am not going to hold my breath. The Lee defense was downright awful.  Angleton's 4th team offense could have hung 50 on Lee's first string defense. Angleton has a lot of fast, quick backs.  The 4th string running back could probably start at corner for Lee. I think Angleton is going to have a very good offense this year.  The qb is good enough and he has all sorts of weapons.  Lot more misdirection this year than I recall from last year. The Angleton defense is not as ferocious this year as last year, with Diggs no longer patrolling the middle. The defense can be had, but overall Angleton is a very good team. If it were a real game, my best guess would be Angleton 63 Lee 35

Battery going dead here Will uPdate the game portion f they have one when I get home

Lees thrd team is freshmen and soPhomores and angletons is seniors Pretty rough

Can't tell you hOw relieved I was to figure out this is the jv at6.  Looked really bad

[quote name="ATWILDCAT" post="1036406" timestamp="1313587173"] Well from the beltway at 288 it takes about 30 minutes but with the traffic going into Pearland, probably 45-50 minutes. Probably best to take Business 288 into Angleton, which is the first Angleton exit you'll see off of 288 and drive all the way down to FM523 then take a left. Stadium will be on the right hand side about 2 miles down. I'm glad someone going. I believe you went to the Angleton /Lee scrimmage last year and gave a pretty good summary, if I recall correctly. Varsity scimmage starts at 7:00. [/quote] I just noticed the part about me going last year. I did.  You have to take what I say with a grain of salt though at times, because my judgment is clouded when it comes to Baytown Lee. I will do my best to give a fair and balanced report tonight, but I can't promise anything.

I I get to that level of frustration from the first scrimmage, then I intend to skip the rest of the schedule much like last year.

Yes, I do take the Fort Bend Tollway to get to 288 and Hwy 6. I live right off the Fort Bend Tollway. I can be at 288 and hwy 6 by 5:45 probably. That should be south of most of the traffic.

I am going.  I don't know how much I might miss though. I don't get off work until 5:15 and I work at the Beltway and Westheimer  >:( It will take me probably at least 30 minutes to get to Highway 6 and 288 on a good day. How long should it take to get to the stadium from there?

Man, that'd be great if Lee College ever got a football team together.  Think of all the talent in the Houston area that has too bad of grades to get into a 4 year school. 

I dunno, Sterling had that one good team back in the 70's.  What else do you want? Lee has two opportunities to do something before the whole program implodes in my opinion. They do not have anything coming up past the junior class that is there in my opinion. The junior class though ran roughshod over West Brook when they were freshmen, so I know the talent is there. Again, it goes back to coaching the talent and executing on Fridays whch I do not expect.

Exactly. Which was why I stressed twice that Lee may go winless again. Heck, Dallas Skyline seems to have 10+ guys a year get scholarships to major schools and they never make any noise in the playoffs. I was even surprised at how the heck Lee won the 400 relay at district.  They were about two seconds slower than they usually are.  This district is just not that athletic as a whole.  Well coached football teams at times, but not much speed. The UH guy must be a disgruntled Sterling fan or something, not sure.  This group of skill position players is as good as most that Olin ever had.  May not have the pure speed, but they have good height, jumping ability and ball skills.  They just don't execute at anywhere near the Olin level.  They don't execute as well as most Pee-Wee league teams actually.  If Olin were still coach, I would be as pumped or this year as I have been in years.  As it is, I just hope they win a game or two.
