ARLINGTON - Crosby wanted points first and got points first. And when Aledo responded with a long TD throw to Alabama-commit Jojo Earle, Crosby responded again to go up 14-7. From there, it was all Aledo, which used a six-touchdown day from Demarco Roberts - 3rd most all-time in a 5A state title game - to turn a close game after the first quarter into a blowout by halftime. In the end, Aledo cruised to a 56-21 win to secure its state-record 10th title - 3rd straight overall. What you see above is what Roberts did all day to the Crosby defense.

Join Matt, Josh and special guests Fort Bend Marshall Head Football Coach James Williams and Foster Head Football Coach Shaun McDowell as they watch and break down the 5A D2 UIL State Championship Game between Aledo and Crosby

On the eve of the UIL 5A and 6A State Championships the stage is set. Powerhouse and Cinderella football programs will be under the bright lights of AT&T Stadium this weekend. VYPE is here to give their predictions of who will be crowded State Champs. 5A Divison II - Aledo vs Crosby5A Divison I - Denton Ryan vs Cedar Park6A Division II - Katy vs Cedar Hill6A Division I - Westlake vs Southlake CarrollDon't forget to tune into the VYPE YouTube page for the UIL State Championship Watch Along all weekend.

When a program hasn't played for a state championship in 60 years, there is a reason to be excited. The Crosby community came out in droves on Thursday to send its football team up to Arlington in style with a sendoff that they will never forget. Behind a full police and firetruck escort down FM 2100, riding in three charter buses the Cougars' football team watched as hundreds of parents lined the road with signs, bells and pompoms to cheer on their hometown team. "It means a lot," Raymond Blanchard, a Crosby High School teacher who helped organize the sendoff, said. I just love Crosby."

This is Aledo's attempt at a second three-peat in the last 12 seasons- their seventh state title in ten years. Aledo started their reign of championship titles in 1998 where they defeated Cuero by a score of 14-7 in the Class 3A Division I title game. Missing the 2015 title, Aledo pulled ahead in 2016 to edge out Corpus Christi Calallen by a score of 24-16. With the wins over Fort Bend Marshall in 2018 (55-19) and again in 2019 (45-42), Aledo has set the stage hopeful for a second three-peat. Cleaning out the locker, picking up trash, blocking, and tackling… that's what we talk about instead of winning state championships.

Crosby is heading to the State Championship game for the first time in 60 years. Along the way, the Cougars have rattled off wins against the No. 3 teams in the state. Now, they will face the second-ranked Aledo Bearcats, who are seeking their 10th state title in program history. Crosby coach Jerry Prieto joined the guys on VYPE Locker Talk LIVE this week to talk about the 62-61 victory over Liberty Hill and playing for it all this week.

Instead of previewing both teams, we'll take the local angle and dig deep into the DFW teams - starting with Aledo in its matchup with Crosby for the 5A Division II State Championship. Ironically enough, this wasn't the strongest Aledo team, and despite being near the top of the 5A DII state rankings all year, there was a consensus that this was the year Aledo's run to state would end. Not the case, and now Aledo is gunning for a state record 10th state championship. In the regular season, Aledo averaged a solid 44 points per game but somewhat struggled to really find an identity on offense. But then the playoffs hit and Aledo has turned it on offensively, relying heavily on the run game during this run.

“When we went into the playoffs, the whole town went,” said Wiggins, smiling. Now, Crosby is heading back to State for the first time since their 1960 run, and that brings back a lot of good memories. Now, Janik and Wiggins hope this group can finish what they started. “We’re excited to finish what somebody else wasn’t able to finish, and having the chance to do that is amazing,” Branch said. There’s no doubt the small town of Crosby will be supporting their boys, just like they did six decades ago.

For the Greater Houston area, the hopes of bringing home a state championship lies with Crosby, Katy and North Shore. Crosby vs Liberty Hill5A Division II State Semifinal – Friday – 7:30 p.m. – Merrill Green Stadium (Bryan, Texas)Crosby is on a roll. The atmosphere at the game last week was awesome and the week before and even when we played at SFA. That year, Buda Hays reached the 5A Division I State Championship game where they fell to Grapevine. But then late, North Shore pulls away for the victory and punches their ticket to a third-straight state title game.

HUMBLE - In the past three weeks, Crosby has been far from the favorite. 3 Fort Bend Marshall, a program that has played for a state championship each of the last two seasons. Powered by Reggie Branch's four-touchdown performance, a 28-point fourth quarter and timely defensive stands, Crosby upended Fort Bend Marshall 37-28 at Humble ISD's Turner Stadium to advance to the State Semifinals. Fort Bend Marshall was led by Roland Harvey going 21 of 38 for 369 yards and three touchdowns. Ja'Vion Matthews had 169 yards and two touchdowns receiving on 14 catches.
