Region 3 Final North Shore (12-1) vs Atascocita (11-2) Fri 12/3 7pm Pasadena Stadium

Hold on there buddy. Don't award that trophy just yet.

More like a “plaq-ue” partner…lol

Just gotta be sure about my pick before I pick it but I don’t assume NS is even in the final. I’m just thinking region three and the Houston area region two is gonna be too tough for the rest of the state soon.
Now for some reason Westfield goes and slaps NS around and then as usual Westfield goes ahead and does their thing. Of course NS plays lower level at the start of the season.

LT passing game improving. Opie (Shaggy 2) looked good today. Delivered the ball well. Dropped some long passes into the hands of WRs on the run with a step of separation. The DBs improving as well. Let's see what Hank and crew dial up for next week.

I stand corrected- didn’t see todays game but not surprised by outcome Brennan didn’t look as good as LT up front from what I had seen.

Better than in the past?

No. Not what you need to focus on. Burton is not the guy you need to worry about no matter how many stars are next to his name on 247sports. Win the trenches and contain DJ. NS should be favored but LT is better up front than you’re used to from them. Their passing game is erratic. Good enough to pop a play or two but not enough to beat a defense like NS through the air

Looks like we’re going to be playing Lake Travis

Y’all are really overstating the abilities of the 2021 LT passing game. It is not what you have seen in the past.

Care to elaborate

I saw the switch to zone temporarily and then back to man. Two reasons (I think) for this: 1.) Your guys needed the experience in man-to-man coverage against solid receivers moving forward with Lake Travis and beyond. 2.) Brown was/is inaccurate with the deep ball so the risk was minimized. He didn’t really give much of a reason to respect the deep ball because he couldn’t put it in the receivers hands. However, if Atascocita had Bert Emmanuel Jr… Maybe there’d be a reason to respect his arm and to zone-out.

He didn't see this much pressure the first game. It was kinda like we dialed it back some in the district finale but we threw the kitchen sink at him yesterday

That’s what I saw last night. Only NS defenses I saw better than this one is 2003 & 2018. Didn’t see a lot of the 2015 defense to accurately rank it but it got the school it’s 2nd title so of course it was legit. NS secondary won’t see any WRs better than what they faced last night. The pressure that front 7 brings is unmatched by any other high school. Atascocita is one of the only offenses I’ve ever seen make NS defense get out of Cover 0. I know Manvel made them adjust before not sure on too many others. Coach Kay is the man and definitely challenging Joseph for best coach in GHA

[Big Daddy Cool]

Both quarterbacks would do good to attend all the camps they can this off season. Both improved over the season, but they both have a lot of improvements to make before next season.

[ClutchCity4ever]

Agreed, the offense was scaled back a lot to accommodate Brown. Where Sessions steered the ship Brown kept it afloat

Perfect summary of the 2021 offense

[ClutchCity4ever]

I agree! Sessions would have given you a better chance and perhaps a win.

What happen to Zion? Even in the first matchup against NS he didn’t look this bad.

Big stage and a lot on the line. He’s a hardworking resilient kid who will come back stronger next year. NS DL dominated pretty much the story of this one. I’ve complained about the passing game being too simple but the running game needs more creativity.

[EASTHOUSTONFOOTBALL]

Outside of the Deer Park game, the offense hadn’t clicked since Sessions went down. Experience plays a huge part. Zion looked lost at times. Sessions spent all off-season preparing for the big moments. Zion will be better for it next year but an opportunity was missed this year. Sessions would’ve hit the hot reads sooner and given freedom to make on field adjustments
