you cant compare the talent of teams based solely on their performance. The talent of the teams they play plays a huge role in determining their success. Fletchers senior year they were the smallest school in the best 4a baseball district in texas that year. PNG and LCM played in the regional finals and Nederland was better than both of them with Sullivan pitching.

thats funny huffman wanted a bigger field and they end up playing 2 of the games at LCM

WOS- Patterson Nederland_ Sullivan LCM_ Hale PNG- dont know alot to choose from BC- Angelle, BC didnt even make the playoffs fletchers senior year he got beat in a one game playoff to see who goes to the playoffs by LCM. Lumberton- dont know. No one has really been dominant. Faced Buckholtz alot in hs and he was good but not dominant. They got 3rd in district his senior year and the district was not that strong. Same story with the other two they were good but not dominant.

mr umpire how tolerant of players arguing with the umpire during the game are you supposed to be? I have been to two games this year form a certain school and have seen the same player argue with the umpir on the field once after a strike 3 call and once after being called out when stealing. It wasnt just saying a word and walking off it was stand there for a little while and yell at the umpire. The first time the coach walked toward the plate and I thought he was about to kill the kid but instead didnt say anything to the kid and started getting on the umpire. The next game the coach just walked to the dugout and left the kid there arguing. What does he have to do before somebody tosses him?

r u kiddin Ofield over jasper jasper should win by 10 easy They should throw their 3 and 4 pitchers and save the rest for their tournament and still take an easy w

HJ was not one of the teams I said was better just Bridge city and Jasper and then the playing field was even. If you think that Bridge City would not have won that district the last 6 years that they have been in 3a you are mistaken

If realignment doesnt change the districts I dont see anything changing for awhile Jasper has been a dominating team for years they were a really good 4 a team before they dropped down and have continued that dominance. BC is the same story a good 4a program that dropped to 3a and is dominating and will continue to do so. throw thoose two teams out and I think they are pretty even this year kingwood park is the wildcard because I know nothing about them but unless jasper or bc change distrticts I dont see anything changing for awhile

The bottom line is hard work pays off.  I have seen kids and teamates bust their hump alone or with another player and improve dramatically and I have seen kids bust their hump with a private instructor and improve dramatically.  The bottom line is the kid who works the hardest if the talent is equal will win.  Organizations such as the sundevils and big timers make kids better because the kid is there working and giving his all ( his parents have invested to much for him not to)  there is not the option of not doing the work if mom and dad are spending their hard earned money on the lessons or team.  However if the kid can have that same motivation working with a higschool teammate the results will be the same as if he was in one of these organizations and the result is improvment. I like the organizations because they can get some kids to work that on their own are not dedicated enough

im not sso sure that the number of college players they produce should be how you choose a hitting coach. Mr. Magoo could be the hitting coach for guys like Dishon from BC and he still would have been a big time d1 prospect. I think the best hitting coches can take a kid who is a borderline starter for his Highschool club and make him an all district pick. Now as to who is the best I have no clue I had experience with Fackler and Moore and liked both they were very similar for me. There was also a guy known as the hitting master who i saw a couple of times I dont remeber his name but I liked moore and fackler both better than him.

The random drug testing that almost All schools have in place now does not include steroids. I was told it was to expensive for the schools to test for steroids and that is why the UIL has started to test. But it is expensive for them also so I doubt a single kid in the Golden triangle gets tested this year by the UIL they dont want to spend the money they just want to say they have a test in place so they dont look like they are just blowing off the issue.

I know it is unrealistic but I would like college and highschool athletes to be tested for steroids on a scale that might actually influence something. The UIL has started testing this year but it includes such a small % that I doubt any of our area players ever get tested. The college I played at had testing by the NCAA but in the 4 years I was there not a single one of our players ever got tested and at the time atleast half were taking steroids.

Do I know personally about the kids at Bh or Huffman right now no I dont I was one of the area kids not to long ago and I had several friends and knew guys from several area teams that I have seen take steroids. The problem is alot worse than most think. That is all I was trying to say sorry if I offended someone from Bh or Huffman.

If you think that game would be steroid free you should probably think again. I played highschool baseball in this area 5 years ago and there were guys taking it then im sure it is still going on.

surely hf, of and jasper have atleast 1 player who deserves to make it Jasper did make the playoffs

my vote is jasper but Orangefield doesnt even make the ballot??????
