[@Bigbodipapi]

Just to clear the air here…. Yall Californians say “how come we don’t ever hear bout them Good Texas teams like MD or Bosco??? Doesn’t that mean y’all suck?” Bro let me tell you why… because competition here in Texas is WAAAYY more evenly spaced! You’ll catch teams on high winning runs for 3-6 years then start to slack behind cause other teams then get good players and so on the cycle continues. These teams for high school are very good in Texas but of course they’ll never be MD or Boscoe where towns get robbed of good players and now you stuck with all the goofs playin in your area. What most yall Californians is not understanding is that Texas does not “recruit” to the same intensity or degree. Each pretty good school gets maybe 1-2 kids that ACTUALLY are recruited to the same point of MD or Bosco but that’s every few years the most I’ve heard of “Texas schools recruiting” on a REGULAR basis is just homies or coaches tryna convince the hometown hero to switch districts WITHIN the same area not even a town over. Basically by word of mouth. Yes there’s recruiting buts it’s not “real” recruiting we just tryna talk in they ear

Lmao let’s not forget there’s at least 40-60 on a team and not only the 1st string is stacked You can’t compare 7 max recruits compared to a whole Team for YEARS in the process. Quit being insulted by private school recruiting.

My God everyone. I am a Cibolo resident and been a Knight since 2006. This was not a Texas Vs. California thing. This was these two teams playing and nothing else. We have a 6 team district so getting opponents in week 5 is difficult. I am glad these young men and the coaches made this trip and hope it was a great experience. I know the outcome may not have been what you wanted but the overall experience could still be great. I wish the Patriots best of luck the rest of the season. It is never easy to make a long trip and play especially for teams that never do this. This is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. These boys showed fight till the end and were outstanding sportsman. Great job coaches and parents of these young men!!!! These kids played a clean game with few penalties or personal fouls. The ball did get a little slippery for them and they gave us a very short field way too mamy times. Take away those mistakes and this would have been a closer game.

[@SharksSJ408]

Classy comment! As a CA guy, I got nothing but respect for Friday Night Lights. At the end of the day, it’s always gonna be between Texas and Cali for who’s the best HS football state.

[@bobbywise2313]

@@SharksSJ408 But you can't really compare the two for a lot of reasons. And if we are being honest Florida has a lot more talent per population than either state. I love Texas High School Football for what it is and really see no reason for these out of state games. Steele just could not find a week five opponent because all other districts have began district play already. That is the only reason they sent out this invite. The Cali boys got to have a great trip and for many the only football long trips they will ever take. I hope it was fun. I know they got to do somethings other that play on Friday night. After a bye week Steele will make the extremely short trip to New Braunfels to play the district rival Unicorns. The Unicorns always play us though but unless they can figure out a way to cover the Knights receivers I think the Knights will win a competitive game. These district rivals always play each other tough and most of these boys know each other.

[@SharksSJ408]

@@bobbywise2313 I agree with most of what you said here. Florida has been very solid as of late, but I thinks historically Texas and California have always been the two Mecca’s of high school football. And yes, I am very curious to see how Steele fares for the remainder of the season. Especially once they hit playoffs and are competing against the other Texas heavyweights.

[@bobbywise2313]

@@SharksSJ408 Well we already lost to a solid Lake Travis team. Neither offense did much in that game but Steele had over 70 yards in penalties. Plus the Steele's play calling was very bad in that game. Steele has enough talent to win region 4 but the odds are they will lose to a team like West Lake or Lake Travis. But even if they did win region they would lose to NS in the semis. There is a slight chance Steele could end up in D2 this year. Texas has a very strange way of assigning D1 and D2 status. But the path to the championship would still be difficult in D2. In D1 it would be virtually impossible though.

[@bobbywise2313]

@@rippasix210 Sterns was a Junior in 2016. In 2017 they had all kinds of issues since they lost most of their OL and DL as well as there QB and best receiver. They still made the playoffs but it was not good. They were a little better in 2018 but was starting a sophomore QB and had no dominant RB since Brady was gone. I would say they continued to improve the next couple of years as Wyatt matured as a QB. Last year they finally had a pretty good defense again and the Sophomore QB, Warner, was showing potential. Bailey was the best RB since Brady. And they had the best MLB in the area. But this year Warner is a junior and his receivers are incredible. The 3 RB's are the best the 3 headed horse the Knights have ever had. The DL is playing lights out good and the secondary is as good as any they have had. All of this back 4 have D1 offers. The LB's are not as good as last years but everything else on defense is better. The only thing this Knight team needs is better OL play. But the skill players of Cooper, Cappel,Hamilton, Hatton. Harris, Fareaux and Warner are all extremely good. Several have D1 offers already. Hatton is just a Sophomore but is getting a lot of attention already. This is finally a really good Knight team. They may not be as good as the 2016 team but it is close.

Imma be honest competing in both divisions in 6a playoffs is alot different than competing the division 3 and 4 in California, if they were to play a regular division 1 team like mission viejo, corona centennial, long Beach poly, and maybe a cif d2 public school powerhouse the game would've been more competitive but aside from that I wouldn't necessarily say it was above average vs above average

[@bobbywise2313]

​@@dontjudge2205Steele is an above average 6A team. They are probably top 20 in the state currently. However the drop off from top 5 to the rest is pretty significant. The NS, Duncanville and DeSoto teams are still significantly better. Nevertheless this is the best Steele team since 2016 and they should be even better next year. I did a little research on Lake Balboa. This is a charter school with and enrollment of 3200 so it is a quite a bit larger than Steele. They certainly do have some size and speed. No doubt the trip itself and probably some of the distractions played a role in their performance here. I was at the game and on their first two possessions they moved the ball very well. The were strictly running out of the I formation. Fortunately for Steele those drives did stall and after that the ball became very slippery for Lake Balboa. I don't think they are necessarily as bad as the score would indicate though. They have some talent.

Steele Knight here. We have a 6 team district so everyone else is already playing district. It is hard to get a game in week 5. I am not sure how many teams were reached out to but am glad this team made the trip and hope the boys enjoyed their time here. They got to do a few things other than play this game including attending a Texas State game. I personally do not think this is a "bad" team. They made a lot of mistakes that made the game easy for us. Take away all of the missed snaps and fumbles and it would have been a competitive game in my opinion. But no doubt the trip itself was a factor. It was a very clean game with very few penalties for either team. I think only one personal foul and that was a face mask. A lot of time when a team is loosing badly they commit frustration fouls but that didn't happen here. That tells me these kids are well coached and/or raised right. I was actually a little worried coming into this game just from a few highlight videos. I could tell they had good size and speed. Steele is definitely not a state power right now. We are probably the best team in the San Antonio area and a top 4 in the San Antonio/Austin area in my opinion. But a lot of Houston and DFW area schools are much better than we are. We played a solid but not perfect game in this one. Our opponent just made too many mistakes and turnovers to keep up. I do wish this team the best the rest of their season.
