Galena Park-Northshore v. Austin Westlake

[Hoosierfrog]

I was surprised that Southlake is still doing the Arian Brotherhood/dye your hair blonde bit, especially since they hadn't been to the finals since '11. Figured it was played out by now.

TCU did the same thing a couple of years in the MWC. Pretty sure they had had Neo Nazi ties...

Coaching, money, and recruiting.

North Shore likely isn’t part of the money equation being smack in the middle of blue collar union refinery worker country...

 

[Hoosierfrog]

not sure about california as mater dei this year was going to be loaded, more talent than the team that beat john bosco two years ago or bosco last year.

Bosco has all that chocolate syrup money, no wonder they are good...

You're having a rough go of it this morning.

Not sure what game you watched but Westlake stuffed the run all game with the exception of about 5 plays.

Hmmm... Seemed to me that they were able to get good yardage. What killed them were the turnovers.

But, my comment had to do particularly with the cohesion, timing, and execution of the blocking schemes. IMHO, they did good work in the run game. I will say that pass blocking was difficult with the Westlake kids flying around as they were.

There were two very good teams out there.

They can’t all be gems...

Costanzo? Come on man.

Costanzo? Come on man.

I’m shattered that you disapprove.

Recruiting is interesting. Always heard rumors. I went to a tiny country HS so this is all so foreign to me

My phone autocorrects to Costanzo. Still waiting for that gendered language update from Android.

The big difference is that TCU, the football team at least, isn't made up of upper class white kids.

True, but I think the Arian Brotherhood isn’t likely to be either.

Two excellent teams with great defenses...both these teams averaged over 50 a game and easily coulda averaged 65+ if they left their starters in all game.

The fact that this game was in the 20s speaks to the incredible DLines both teams had along with a sticky secondary that didn't allow many big plays.

I watched NS in person from the sidelines two weeks ago and their DLine was just overwhelming against a huge, well coached OLine that is sending 4 of 5 kids to the next level. Westlake was the same way yesterday.

football is the least recruited of the major sports in high school.

basketball and baseball were pretty interesting when our kids where in school.

It is a playoff tradition.

Well I mean isn't that I disapprove as much as you just spelled his name wrong.

I know. That's why I said I was surprised they still do it since they hadn't been to the finals in nearly a decade.

They've been to the semis the last couple of years- stopped by Duncanville.

For the title game I think Westlake will win by 2 TDs

Yeah, I caught that. Old timers disease is a witch.
