I only stayed for the first half because my ear infection was killing me. Lee looked horrrrrible on offense in the first half. They inserted the backup qb and looked way better it appears in the second half. The defense still looks solid, just put in some horrible spots by the inept offense

Lee plays Saturday at 7 pm in Katy against Seven Lakes

Dayton 62 GCM 13

Dawson at least has some athletes, however young they may be. Rayburn and New Caney just aren't very good.

I could see Lee going 2-3 in non-district simply because they can't score any points. At this point, the offense has scored just as many points for the other team as they have for themselves.

Sterling definitely has an easy road ahead. I would guess that Dawson would be the only team left that could beat them before district starts. Sterling beat LaPorte last week, and that is who Lee beat last night. I can't say anything about South Houston, but I can tell you that LaPorte would get beat by some jv teams around Houston probably. This concerns me, because Lee couldn't move on them very much. Lee did have 9 false start penalties which put a halt to a lot of drives, but even then, they could not make any plays. LaPorte had no business being around at the end of this game honestly. Lee just screwballed around and almost got beat by a team that probably had run 25 plays for negative 30 yards of offense for the first 3 and a half quarters of the game. LP might not win a game this year.

The Baytown Sun says that LaPorte had 38 yards of offense. 55 of that came on their receiver pickin up a fumble and running it in for a td. Lee's defense was swarming. Just need to get the offense clicking. I knew we had a lot of false starts, but dang..The Baytown Sun says we had 9 of them total, with 7 of them coming in the second half.

Did you catch the game Big Gander?

Went and watched the Ganders play the Bulldogs tonight. The Ganders have their best defense in over a decade. Pretty much all of the athletic players are on defense. They have 7 guys starting over there that will be sprinters on the track team next spring. LaPorte probably only had 5 or 6 first downs. They didn't have any in the first half. They probably ended up with maybe 100 yards tops, with about 70 of those coming on a fluke fumble that a receiver picked up and took the distance for a score. The other LP score came on a fumble by Lee's qb that LP picked up and ran in for a td. The Lee defense is fast, aggressive and smart. This is the first time I can say that in a long, long time. One problem might be lack of depth. At least 7 of the starting defensive unit played both ways. They didn't play a lot necessarily on offense, but a few of them played probably 15+ plays and the rest played 4 or 5 plays on offense. Three of them came out with cramps in the second half. Zac Zellars, nose guard, was impossible to handle. For whatever reason he only played on 3rd downs. He probably got 4 tackles and 2 sacks just on 3rd down plays. He may have been hurt a little which might have been the reason for the limited snaps.. Thomas Bates had a punt return for a td of about 70 yards. Now, the offense.... Don;t ask lol They actually have a good line. They were opening up some holes in the running game. They just lack athletic abilisty on that side right now. All of the good athletes are playing defense like I said. It's pretty frustrating because usually the offense is great and the defense can't stop anyone. Now, the defense is really stout, but the offense can't move the ball at all. Final score Lee 17 LaPorte 14

Thanks for the input.

GCM was lucky to be in the game from what I can gather. I will be pulling for them obviously, but when all of their players com from a Sterling team that barely won a game last year, you're not going to have high expectations.

How did Lee's qb look? Did they play more than one qb? Last week they only played the tall, thin qb (Jirrells) because the other guy was out injured. I know you all focused more on LCM obviously if you were there, but any insight into how Lee did would be appreciated. Their defense looked quite good last week against Deer Park. It was the only bright spot as the offense couldn't do jacksquat. Lee is going to have great speed on defense this year but will lack playmakers on offense unless they play a lot of guys both ways. The Ganders are quite close to the 5a/4a cutoff now with the opening of Goose Creek Memorial, and I would not be surprised to see Lee down in 4a sometime in the near future.

Gotta go with North Shore. They haven't lost a district game in what...8 years?

Lee was the last team to beat NS in district and will be the next team ;D

Lee only loses 30 students, none of them being athletes. That's the key line I got from this article. Lee will have to stay 5A for now, and also I won't have to be worrying about which players not to expect back next year.

Brown is no angel, but it doesn't help that everyone around him just wants to get their handout by being associated with him. Maybe if coach started coaching and acting like an adult and mentor instead of trying to hitch himself up on the J'Covan Brown train, then things would turn for the better.

I'm planning to go as of now. I get off work at 3:15 tomorrow, so I'll leave directly from work on the south side of Houston.

Not football, but.... Texas coach Rick Barnes on William Clay: "He's a great three point shooter, just not much of a three point maker."

I can't imagine a world where Lake Travis holds Dayton to 21. Maybe if LT was a ball control offense. Maybe if LT had a good defense. As it stands now, I can't imagine Dayton scoring fewer than 35 unless they have 5 turnovers or more.

Had to be the hit of the year. The helmet just popped straight into the air when he blindsided poor #55. Of course, #55 popped RIGHT up and kept on chugging to his credit.

I wouldn't necessarily say it SHOULD have been a blowout for Dayton over Waller. But, if Dayton doesn't muff the punt early in the third quarter, then I believe it would have been a blowout. Dayton was up 21-0, stopped Waller again the first possession of the second half, and the route was about to be on. That's turnovers for you though.

Last time I posted the entire article, then a moderator clipped it down and put only a portion so one would be compelled to click the link to read the rest. so, I took the hint and did the same this time.

[Hidden Content] Dayton Broncos advance to state By Dave Rogers Published December 8, 2007 Have a little faith. The Dayton Broncos did, withstanding a furious second-half rally by Waller and clinching a 28-21 win and a spot in the Class 4A semifinals with a big defensive stop with 13 seconds remaining. “A lot of people thought we were down,†quarterback Gregory Charles said, echoing the mood of the 11,000 football fans at the Berry Center after Waller rebounded from a 21-0 halftime deficit to tie the game. “But we weren’t down.....

[Hidden Content] Backup QB has Broncs on playoff roll By Dave Rogers Published December 6, 2007 DAYTON — Gregory Charles is riding one whale of a winning streak. The senior quarterback is 9-0 for the Broncos this season. He took the starting job for the fifth game of the season and guided Dayton to wins in its final six District 22-4A games. Now he and the Broncos are 3-0 in the playoffs and riding a nine-game win streak into the fourth round of the postseason. “Every game he quarterbacked on the junior varsity (in 2006), he won,†Dayton coach Jerry Stewart adds. “Every game we won, he won.†So what would Charles be doing if junior Cody Green hadn’t gotten hurt in Dayton’s second game this season? “Cody still would have been quarterbacking,†Stewart says of the 6-foot-4, 220-pound Green, who has already had scholarship offers from Miami, Texas A&M, Houston and Baylor, according to the coach. “But things have a way of working out.†.......................................
