Not to be too picky, but when a team is going in to score, it's not called their own end of the field.  That's the opponent's end of the field. Channelview has a super receiver.  He just didn't get the ball enough against Lee. He is one of the best in the area for sure.

Nice player, probably runs about a 4.6 though, which is still nothing to sneeze at.

Sad for whom? lol It's happy for me. The sad part is that Lee actually has enough players on the team to be able to play much better. The coaching staff just doesn't know where to put them. We have a district winning 400 relay team playing the 4 defensive back positions, yet the other team only passes 8-10 times a game. We have a bunch of 5.2 40 guys playing receiver, while the 4.4 40 guys rot away at defensive back making maybe 2 or 3 plays a game back there. It is so frustrating to KNOW that Jaevon Richardson needs to be at receiver, yet he wastes away at cornerback against a team that only threw to his man once all game. Then they FINALLY throw him the ball a few times on offense in the 4th quarter and he of course catches the first one for what would have been 35 yards had the qb not throw it out of bounds, then catches a quick slant a few plays later and takes it 50 yards down inside the Falcon 5 yard line.  That would be the norm if they actually left him on offense full time and threw him the ball 4 or 5 times a quarter like an intelligent coach would do. It's games like these that remind you this is high school football. If a coach has any sort of imagination and ability, he wouldn't be on this level.  He'd be over at UH or Texas or LSU. Sorry to all the coaches, but it is what it is. And seeing simple decisions not being made reminds you of this fact in a frustrating way.

North Shore. I don't feel too good going into this one lol

Talk about a battle of ineptitude. Man this was a tough game to watch. CV missed an xp and two field goals. Lee didn't get anything going all night until the coach finally came to his senses and threw it to Richardson who turned a quick slant into about a 55 yard gain down to the 5 with 4 minutes in the game.  Lee punched it in a few plays later. CV missed a field goal with less than a minute to go from about 27 yards.

The Lee quarterback can't really pass the ball that well. He's not very fast either. He has a nice arm, but he can only throw it to a pre-determined spot on the field that they have worked on in practice all week. He can't actually make any reads or pick another receiver or anything along those lines. I think coach is slow on reversing his decisions sometimes. He'd be better off to just go with the freshman and let him make his mistakes and learn from them, because the freshman is immensely more naturally gifted.

This reminds me of Olin's first year. Lee does have some talent this year(3 seniors going D1), just not enough of it.

my bad...67

45-0 now I will have to eat my words about the shut out. Man, Lee must have really just not showed up or WBV has greatly improved since WF put 70 on them.

Let's you know how bad Sterling is. Lee just doesn't have a quarterback to run the offense they are trying to run. #17 is not a running threat at ALL. So, basically the offense boils down to handing off up the middle to #1 or #21 and then throwing an occasional hail mary to #14. I personally think they should just go with the freshman qb. At least he provides a running threat.

Cmon wosgrad... Can't your internet go out for a minute or something. This is making my head hurt even thinking about how bad they are getting whomped. Wish I could have gotten out of work to see it.

I didn't promise anything. I predicted a score, a far fetched one, that had a bit of tongue in cheek in it. Now, I didn't believe that Lee would get shut out. If they do, it will be quite surprising to me.

Ouch... Man.... Just hope coach can hold it together til we get to 4A and all these sophomores and freshmen grow up.

Cmon Ganders. Gotta represent Baytown better than this.

All I'm saying is that a field with mud and rutted up isn't a homefield advantage any more. It's considered unplayable and should be moved. Don't matter two craps that PAM wants to keep their homefield advantage. Just like you can't pour concrete for a baseball infield then call it homefield advantage. It's a surface unsuitable for playing on at that point. If the field has level grass then we don't need to have this discussion.

If it's in great shape then fine, if it's anything like Clear Creek field, then it's a shame. They should have thought about giving up homefield advantage when they didn't put enough time into making the field playable or playing too many games on it or whatever the cause was.

Keep an eye on #14 for Lee

Baytown Lee ;D

What ever happened to that other board they used to have? FNE or something

Do they just count up the attendance or something? Wouldn't it be better if they took 10-15 snapshots over the course of the year and averaged them out? This seems a bit inexact to pick one day. No wonder Highland Park always stays 4A. Just tell a certain number of kids not to show up today.

I remember Clear Creek's stadium being like this all the time before they put in artifical turf. If it's anything like that, they need to move the game to somewhere that has an artificial surface, so that they can play a legitimate game. There's no need, in 2009, to be playing on a rutted up, muddy field.

Everybody Hurts by REM

There was only one freshman game, so I missed the first half. It started at 5, but I was told it would start at 6 earlier in the week. Lee freshman won 34-8. West Brook has some good players. They have a couple of good linebackers, particularly #44 was a good athlete. I think the athletes on each team were pretty close, but Lee was just a bit faster and were little more well coached. When I got there at half, it was 20-8. Lee's quarterback #1 took the ball in for about a 35 yard touchdown run. West Brook got one down to about the 3, but they couldn't punch it in. They had the ball intercepted and ran back 100 yards for a td on 4th down by Lee's #8, who was the best athlete on the field. He played running back and safety. He nearly had two other interceptions in the half I saw. He is undersized, but an explosive athlete. Lee was also without their best freshman, a quarterback, who plays on varsity. If I had to guess, #1, #2, #6, #8, #14, #58 and #71 will be on varsity for Lee next year. Looks like a pretty good crop.

I work Thursday night til 8:15, so I won't be able to make the game. I'll look here for updates. I am going to make the freshman A game in Baytown today though, so I'll try to provide a recap if possible.

Lee has two good, fast running backs and a fast receiver. The Ganders also have two more guys that play some at receiver(mostly on defense) that would be considered fast. The Ganders offense was horribly inept last year, and they still somehow scored in double digits on WB. Unless there is a barrage of turnovers, I think Lee will put up some decent offense.
