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

[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.

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. -

They have some above average skill players, but this is no longer 7 on 7. [/quote] Lee has better skill position talent than anyone in this district. Whether that wins them any games, we will see. You're right, they don't have much in the trenches. Or at linebacker. They had a really, really bad year last year and still nearly won district in track. They have more speed and athleticism than anyone else in this district at the skill positions Again, that doesn't mean they will win a single game. -
Breaking News-BH QB Transfers

[quote name="UHCoog14" post="1032615" timestamp="1312834972"] Coach Olin always found a way to have a QB on campus. Wether he was from McNair or Barrett Station, he found a way to play at REL. It is what it is. Townley will do well in Huffman's system. He is not a bad baseball player either. [/quote] Who were the really good Gander qb's? Jermaine Alfred, was an offensive lineman as a freshman at Lee, certainly did not transfer in. Clint Stoerner, grew up deep in the heart of Gander country, played little league at Baytown Central in Pelly. Ell Roberson, grew up right across the railroad tracks from Lee high school. Drew Tate, was Olin's step-son, obviously living in Gander territory... Jeremy Moses was Baytown Lee all the way. No move in there. Jose Jones went to Baytown junior, then transferred to SJ, then came back to Lee. Octavio Torres, don't know much about him, but I doubt Olin recruited him. So that leaves you with Brian Johnson, from Crosby. So they have one guy transfer in to play qb(for one year at that) in Olin's 15 years at Lee. -

[quote name="Eagle11" post="1032366" timestamp="1312766195"] They probably called Olin, former head coach at Lee, for advice.....he is the master. ;D [/quote] Riiiight...like Michael Davis that played at Lee as a freshman and sophomore, then "moved" to BH.
