This weekend I got a chance to checkout Katy vs. Seven Lakes. Everybody knows that Katy is the real deal. That offensive line is amazing. Put any back behind those guys and he is going to have a field day. What disappointed me is how some teams dont even try to compete. They are in a fight and they are not even trying to punch back. I know that you might be outmatched but stand up and play your butt off on evey play until the whistle blows. If you get beat that is fine atleast you left it all on the field. I hate to see a kid or a team cower down in fear. If a team or your opponent senses you are fearful or that you will not compete they will never respect you. I truly don't blame the kids. I blame the parents. It makes me wonder, what are we teaching our young men?

I saw a guy on PBS when talking the lead up to Euless Trinity playing a privite school from Arkansas, use the phrase, "winning the game getting off the bus...." or something like that.  As far as 7 Lakes goes, they're a new school in the same ISD with Katy and Cinco and have low expectations.  They could have a life coach and the premere strength and conditioning personnel and still lose because they have no history.  Morten(sp) Ranch is in the same boat.  The only way Katy will lose to those newer schools and or Taylor and Mayde Creek is a concerted effort to water down their incoming freshman class and or the current coach retires and they go to the Spread O....

I agree with you SFA. However, they dont even put up a fight. I mean they take those butt whippings like a champ. At what point do you as a player, team and coaching staff get tired of getting your behinds handed to you? They are getting drilled by 25 and 30 points. Katy wont get tested until the third or fourth round of the playoffs. I doubt if a team in their district scores over 14 points on them. If you are scared and dont want to compete why do you even play football? I dont understand this.

I live in Katy.  They are up to 7 high schools so far, with 2 more to be opened in the next few years.  Most of the growth is in the areas that are now in Cinco Ranch, Seven Lakes and Taylor area.  If anything, they will probably be further diluted depending on where the new HS are built.

I think it has a lot to do with the fact that there are THREE-FOUR playoff spots (depending on classification)available each year. 15-20 years ago, you could not afford to lose 2 district games. Now you can go 4-3, 3-3, even 2-3 and possibly make the playoffs. It's hard to coach a 'killer instinct'. It has to be taught at a young age. Everybody gets a ribbon generation is now here.  :-\

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.
