Olin did build a winner. He had a system that was ahead of its time back in the early 90's. Not a lot of high schools were spreading it out like that. And the fact that Olin built a winner is not really relevant to the point.  That's like bringing up the Vince Young teams when talking about the Longhorns inability to establish a running game.  Just because one outlier is able to overcome all of the inherent roadblocks to success does not make me all warm and fuzzy inside. It's tougher to build a winner the way they have it.  The fact that Olin did it is great, but the system would be much more conducive to building a winning program, in all sports, if they had designated feeder schools for each of the three high schools. Creating the winning mentality is the tough part.  You have kids that come into 9th grade without a clue on how to play winning football.  Maybe if all of Cedar Bayou 8A or Gentry 8A stayed together, they would be able to carry over that winning that they did on that junior high level.  They would know how to win as a team and depend on each other.  They would already know the system backwards and forwards.  Gentry 8A had a powerhouse when this year's seniors were there.  Chance Nelson, CJ Mixon, etc.  Some of them went to Lee and some to Sterling, some even ended up at GCM, so it was time to start all over again with a whole different system and different teammates. Look, I'm not saying this as a cure-all to all of Baytown's troubles in sports.  Why not take the avenue with the best possible chance of future success instead of stacking the deck against yourselves from jump street.

Needs to build a 6th junior high school out by GCM somewhere. They could then designate two junior highs for each high school. This willy nilly system they have now puts all of the high schools three years behind. It's like the USA basketball team trying to get a team together and compete against those other national teams that have been playing together since they were 12.  They could have the new junior high and Highlands go to GCM.  Baytown Junior and Gentry go to Sterling and Horace Mann and Cedar Bayou go to Lee. I've never understood the logic behind having a little bit from each junior high go to each of the high schools.  They gain nothing by doing that.  They lose three years of being able to learn one system in sports. Let's assume Gentry has a good 8A team this year.  Does it really matter in the long run?  Out of the 30(hypothetically) on the team, 10 of them are going to GCM, 15 are going to Sterling and 5 are going to Lee.  So, you just have to start all over in 9th grade. It's the same way with every junior high.  25% go to one high school, 15% goes to another and 60% goes to another.  Play with the percentages all you like as I am just guessing.  And Lee would probably lose out the biggest in this system, because Horace Mann is not a factory for good athletes.  Doesn't matter.  I would rather someone in Baytown have a chance to build a good athletic program.

Scoreboard operator at Stallworth. Dude was working overtime Friday night.

[/quote] I totally agree with this statement.  We have a huge problem with this.  I know we have a 3 high school district but the district needs to set something up where the Jr High coaches have to be under the High School coach they are feeding to.  Right now im pretty sure they can do whatever they want.  So school like Dayton and Crosby and Barbers Hill already have a 2 year if not more head start because our kids dont learn a system or a coach till their freshmen year. [/quote] I hear the coaches at GCM are getting more involved down at the JR High level. I hope this continues and I hope that at the very least there is one coach down there that can teach the kids some fundamental before reaching the high school. [/quote] the GCM coaches have done nothing with the Highlands group and they are getting spanked. Someone posted on here that Dayton beat them 56-6 on the 8th grade a level. [/quote] Score was correct but, Highlands appeared to have a good group of athletes. Lots of talent but very unorganized. [/quote] That statement sums up the whole Goose Creek athletic program. lol

[quote name="rollinac" post="863699" timestamp="1286001646"] Predictions....panamamyers says all week he's given up on Lee and refuses to drive that far ever again to see kids who coach themselves on the field.  Come Friday shows up, cusses loudly 'till halftime, then drives back to MC begging Broncos to call off the dogs.  About sum it up? [/quote] I don't cuss. (on here or in person) And I refuse to go to this game.  First game I have missed in 10 years. Dayton 70 Lee 0

See yall next year.

I'm out This may be the last I watch of lee for a while Not worth my money to watch this

Not to tearto raging anger This caching staff is an absolute joke and anyone with an impartial view can see as much They have a junior high level understanding of the game and nothing more

Lucky penalty for lee to keep a drive alive on 4th Ruben with an int the next play Lee will be very lucky to win a game It's just a group of kids basically coaching themselves out there

26-7 Lee starting to push and shove after the plays now

Lee on own 2 Run a shotgun slow developing qb run and get a safety Just a comedy of errors in the lee play calling here

Bh driving on them now like they have every drive Straight down the field Playing scared gets ya beat

Kickin off from the bh 45 No guts at all as they kick it deep

Lee finally lines up correctly on ko return and they get a td return 17-7 15 yard penalty on bh n kickoff Better onside kick it please

17-0 bh Tough to watch coach He seems like a competitor that wants to win bad He simply doesn't have the understanding of football to make it happen on the field

Another piss poor three and out for lee

Bh fg unit much more crisp than lees 10-0 bh 8:24 3rd

Lol Coach tries to kick a fg for some strange reason and it comes up about 15 yards short Gotta say one thing Coach is reAlly confident about that special teams coming around I'm not quite as confident Just two really unathletic, below average teams out here Coach needs to come out this second half with zellars and just stick with him The upside with him is wayyyy higher

Lee tells the qb who to throw it to before the play You can't run an offense that way Need to teach one of them to read a defense Barbers hill home cooking on the clock management Letting three seconds run off after every incomplete by lee 7-0 bh Lee on bh 23 11 seconds I. Half

Neither team looks even average These are just two bad 4a teams playing a bad gAme Gage is not really showing me much but he simply doesn't have any athletes on offense at all If he had any speed maybe these 4 yard gains could bust open They are not a dangerous offense They must go five yards at a time which leaves them open to turnovers

You almost have to try to not move the ball with the players lee has on offense This is pathetic Ruben back in for a quick three and out No routes past ten yards downfield

Bh with another fumble

Refs with proverbial Mae up call holding on lee Coach taking the playbill away from zellars again Let h pass it on 3rd and 25 for 15 yards

Gage still arguing the fumble but he needs to consider it lucky lee didn't get 7. Lee has zellars in the game Now bh is about to get the bAll back it looks Horrible job of officiating Nope lee still has it 20 minutes into the delay Gage is still trying to pull a fast one though arguing

Refs with a bad call to blow a td fumble return for lee Lee gets the ball at the spot Own 21
