Katy has multiple junior highs, but they all learn the Katy system and all feed into Katy. It's not the multiple junior highs as much as it is that any one junior high can go to multiple high schools. If Baytown had 6 junior highs, 2 going to Lee, 2 going to Sterling and 2 going to GCM...it would make for a much better athletic program at each. Katy can start teaching their system all the way down in pop warner league. I'm not sure how West Brook does their zoning.  I do know that Lee used to beat the fire out of the Bruins when they had an equal number of students, so what West Brook does is neither here nor there. Yes, you can compete and win without having junior high feeder systems for the high schools, but it's just easier to compete and win if you do have the system in place.

Which leads to another point... How much more difficult is it to get a program in place when you have multiple elementary and junior highs feeding into multiple high schools.  I've often dreamed of a day when they would create 6 junior highs, 2 for each high school.  That way the junior highs could run the same systems as the high school.  It's just difficult now to get a head start on it with the kids at any particular junior high all going to one of three different high schools.  There's no way to settle on a system.

Watch for this kid on Cedar Bayou's 8th grade A team.  I'd like to get out there and catch a game, but my work schedule does not allow.  There are highlights of him on youtube, and I just knew he would be a freshman this year(hopefully at Lee, but I have no idea really). Turns out he was in 7th grade.  This kid could probably help out on varsity this year as an 8th grader if they let him.  lol [url=[Hidden Content] Bayou 7A Highlights[/url] The run at the 3 minute mark was particularly impressive to me. If Baytown is in the same district this year as Dayton, Crosby and BH, that will be a fun district. [/quote] Yeah, that kid is definitely going to transfer to Dayton.  He'd look good in the purple and white. [/quote] It's not Dayton I am worried about as much as Sterling or Memorial.  Usually kids zoned to Cedar Bayou end up at Lee though.

I always have to prepare myself for the possibility of guys that are expected to be playing for Lee transferring to a different school. Are there any transfers that we know of, doesn't have to include Lee. I know last year a kid from Crosby transferred to Dayton and year before a kid from Atascocita transferred over to Dayton. Lee has had five guys transfer out in the past 24 months that would be senior starters. Two are starting at Sterling this year, one at Cy Falls, one went back to Louisiana, and not sure where the other is going.

If you picked the top 50 high school players in the nation, put them together...let them practice for a month to get their timing down..... OU would still win by at least 70, depending on how badly they wanted to rub it in. If you took the number one ranked team in the state...let's say Abilene. Oklahoma would be up 100-0 by the half time.

The stadium is right across the street from where I now live in Missouri City. Main does not really turn into Fort Bend Tollway.  You have to take an exit off of Main.  Be looking for it, two lanes will exit onto a ramp to the right.  Main keeps going straight. If you don't have an EZ Tag, as the Tollway ONLY allows Ez Tag, then you need to come on around 610 to 288 South.  Take 288 South to HWY 6 and take a right.  Go about 5 or 6 miles and the stadium will be on your right. I would highly advise you to use your EZ tag though if that's at your disposal.

I saw one at Barnes and Noble at first Colony Mall. It had at least one mistake in the Baytown Lee section, so I went ahead and left it. The layout and look was nice though.

Flipping burgers for MB people lol Never in my life did I think I would see some education/wealth smack coming from Mont Belvieu.  ;D What kinda crazy world are we leaving in? ???

Well, if Diggs was hurt for the Terry and Brenham game, then I still say Terry exposed them more. Brenham was able to get more offense together and staged a comeback for the ages in the fourth quarter.  It's like that Plano East-TJT game. It's tough to say that Plano East exposed TJT.  What they did was put on the greatest comeback in high school football history. Angleton handled Brenham and took them behind the woodshed for the first three quarter. It's a four quarter game though unfortunately for Angleton. I don't think that Angleton was exposed nearly as much as you are trying to claim. Diggs should be healthy this year, so that part of the exposure gets covered back up.

Not so certain about Elkins being an easy win. They were 8-2 in the regular season last year, have 12 starters back, and only lost by 2 in the playoffs to a Clear Springs team that made it to the quarterfinals. They did get hammered by Hightower and Kempner though. I would say that Elkins falls somewhere between a Rosenberg Terry and a Friendswood caliber team. I'm not so sure how much Brenham exposed Angleton as opposed to just staging one helluva comeback. Terry actually probably exposed them more.  Terry played and contained Angleton from wire to wire, losing only 10-2. Angleton had less than 250 yards of offense against Terry, whereas they had over 420 against Brenham.

True... Zellars is the better qb. He would make the offense, namely the running game, much more dynamic.

I've been on this board for a long time. I am going to drop it. I just think as Dayton fans, you are past that stage. You are too good to be so defensive all the time. You have made a state final and semi-final in the last 4 or 5 years.  You don't have to be so defensive. Let's just break it down honestly. Ike has way more athletes. Dayton has much better coaching Dayton is going to execute better. Dayton is going to have a better gameplan. Dayton is going to probably have better focus and more effort. Dayton has a chance.  I have no idea honestly, because I haven't seen either of the teams in their current state. I would need to see them both play a game or two to really get a good feel for it. If Eisenhower was all that, they wouldn't have finished up at 6-5 last year. It's not like they are some unbeatable machine.

Talk about a fun guy to watch a game with....you guys need to look up patitan

[/quote] I could give two craps about Ike. This is the type of chatter I am talking about. Quit looking for a quick smack talk rebuttal. Quit looking for the slight against your team.   You are entirely too good of a program to have such completely insecure fans. Surely, there has to be one Dayton fan out there that is secure enough in his team to be drawn into an actual football discussion?

Thanks Tyrone... You just took the first step. [quote] [b]Ike may have more athletes[/b], but Dayton can play with anyone in the state if they are on their A game. [/quote] I'm proud of you.

The point of the matter is that not very many teams in the entire country can match up with Eisenhower's athletes. To argue that Ike does not have much better athletes than their opponents 99.9% of the time is to just be intentionally obtuse or a huge homer. Get past that part of the argument and go on to the who will actually win part. I've found this forum enjoys getting caught up in the wrong argument. The 4a being as good as 5a argument being one example and Dayton having comparable athletes to Eisenhower being another example. It really, really reeks of an inferiority complex. It's much easier to get a good discussion going when both sides can admit to their weaknesses and strengths. Heck...we may as well say that Port Arthur Memorial has just as good of a program and discipline in place as Katy. Katy better coached?  No way, PAM is better coached. Katy players are more disciplined?  No way, PAM players are more disciplined.... Let's not give in on any point. Don't admit being weaker in any phase of any sport.

Who are the running backs Dayton has? I know of the Delasbour(sp) kid, but who else is supposed to be there?

Just because Lake Travis is a team full of white boys, don't mistake them for not having good athletes. They have a lot of guys that have been going on to play college ball. And, as I said, it is not completely about athletes. Dayton will be completely overmatched in an athletic sense, so if they win then I would be very impressed with the coaching that they are getting. I am already impressed with it, but I have never seen them as of yet been quite as overmatched physically as they will be in that game against Ike. Look, if Dayton beats them, them I will be pretty pessimistic about the chances of Lee being able to hang within 30 points of Dayton. I don't think Lee should be able to beat LT on paper. On paper LT probably has 30+ seniors while Lee has 11 on paper.

I think it's safe to say that Ike will have at LEAST 2-3 D1 athletes in any given year, so that puts 6-9 on the varsity team in any one year. I didn't say they would have 10 seniors go D1. I meant that 10 of their players on the varsity roster will eventually end up on a D1 roster. I may have overestimated them a little bit, but I bet if you look back over the last three Looking on Rivals, last year they had 5 seniors go D1 Guy, Hubert, Jackson, Veazie and Becks The year before they had 5 more: Loston, Timmons, Guiton, Reynolds and Willis. I would be willing to guess they have at least 10 guys on the squad as we speak that will challenge for a D1 scholarship.

Comparing CE King to Ike is a little like comparing Rice to Texas. Refresh my memory on this CE King D-1 running back? Ike has 10-15 D1 players on their team in any one year. It's a whole different animal. Dayton will not be as big, fast or athletic as Ike. That doesn't matter though as we have already established that big, quick and fast do not necessarily always prevail.
