PAM 48 Crosby 35

Nederland 45-20

Going to wade back in as an outsider into this discussion. I will be shocked if LP makes BH punt the ball at all while the game is still in doubt. Lee had guys running wide open down field multiple times and just couldn't connect which is why Lee isn't as good as BH or LP. After seeing BH against Crosby(was watching both games at the same time) I don't think BH is going to be over throwing and under throwing those wide open balls down the field. Unless they get stuck with a penalty and some mishandling of the ball, I don't see a scenario where BH gets stopped this game. I would expect 4 or more 50 plus yard touchdowns passes. I don't think BH will have the same difficulty with this running game as they did with Crosby. This one is more about assignments whereas you could have all the guys in the right assignments and #2 and #14 for Crosby will just plow over a guy and juke quickly around another. LP has guys that are going to get the yards that are there but not a lot more. They have to have it blocked up and executed properly to get their 5 yards each time. I don't see that as being sustainable against BH.

Crosby had the two best athletes on the field when they were on offense against BH. I thought BH might have problems with them. That won't be the case with LP. They do it more with execution and trickery. I am a Baytown fan but I have seen both BH and LP play. Just providing my opinion. We can revisit this weekend.

BH 63 LP 28

LP too physical. Lee would have needed to go for it on those 4th and mediums in the first half and gotten them to keep this a game. Very difficult for Lee to stop LP for 4 plays. Line just too big for Lee. Lee couldn't connect on several passes down the field in the first half when it was still a game. Either overthrown or under thrown or out of bounds. At least three that could have been 50+ yard touchdowns. That's why they can sometimes beat Crosby then get worked over by LP. Not enough consistent execution like you might find in a higher level team. All of the plays went Lee's way against Crosby which led to that win. This time not so much

PAM 66-13

Lee probably shouldn't kick deep or punt any more this game. Not much faith they can keep LP from getting 10 yards every 4 plays. Lots of fumbles by LP. Lee grabbed one of them, but there were st least 5 or 6 on the turf. Lee just not able to connect in the passing game this half.

I was thinking the same thing. He seemed like he couldn't have been more than 17 or 18. Not so sure though.

I don't see why they couldn't. I don't think they will, but I see no reason to believe they couldn't if the breaks went their way. Lee got absolutely worked over by Kingwood Park and Barbers Hill last year then beat PAM and should have beaten LP. They have enough coaching to always be a threat but a lack of athletes leaves them teetering on the brink of getting blown out if momentum goes against them when playing some of these better teams.

I feel like you have five levels of high school teams. You got your teams like aledo and north shore and Carthage. Very few of those types. On a scale from 1 to 10 we will say they are an 8-10 depending on the day you get them. You have your teams like northbrook and spring woods and waltrip... quite a few of those. We will say they are a 1. Then you have the majority of teams broken up into below average, average and good. Teams like GCM and Sterling are below average. Let's say a 2-4 depending on the day. Lee is average. Let's say 4-6 depending on the day. Crosby and BH and PAM above average. Let's say 6-8 depending on the day. You will never get a team like GCM to play well enough to beat anyone two levels above them like a team like PAM or BH. They could play perfectly, get a few breaks and catch Lee on a bad day though and best those level of teams, but they are not capable of playing well enough to beat the better teams. Similarly, Lee could never beat anyone two levels up but they played close to perfect and caught Crosby on a bad day and are the type of team that can win against that level of team if the cards fall just right.(like against PAM last year) I wouldn't let that loss signify that Crosby is not still capable of beating teams like BH and PAM because they still fall in that tier to me.

Crosby will work RSS and GCM by 50 each. The offense scored virtually every time they got their hands on it. The defense and the onside kick were the problems for Crosby. Also whatever penalty they had after the last touchdown forced a kickoff from near their own 20. Lee didn't have to do much on the return to start on Crosby 40 yard line.

Just about got this one on the money.

Eat em up Ganders.

43 to 42. Lee about to go for two. 11 seconds left.

Lee scored And then recovered an onside kick. Down 7 now with the ball.

I had BH by 40 but not at the half. No way was I buying into Sterling. I've seen their freshman teams play Lee the last few years.

Good back and forth battle but you can feel that Crosby is just on the verge of breaking it open. Lee has to be close to perfect to get ten yards every three downs.
