Where did Babin move to?

The loss of Trevor Jones will be the issue. Best player, both sides of the ball, man amongst boys, leadership. Somebody has to fill that void.

Franklin 1 Grandview 5…. Game was 2-1 till the 6th inning. Franklin hit Doty which is the first time that she has not thrown a no hitter in a while. Franklin hung in there with a ton of youth seeing the best pitcher in the state. Franklin vs Grandview game 2 Saturday @ lake Belton.

Baytown Sun Preview [Hidden Content] The Hill and La Porte are well acquainted. For the past few years, the two teams have met in the first round of the playoffs, this year’s series however, is for a regional title and a ticket to the state semifinals. The Eagles have prevailed that last two seasons and will be looking to eliminate the Lady Dawgs from the playoffs again and return to the state championships. The Lady Dawgs, on the other hand, would love an upset and send their seniors off with a trip to Austin. This series is one of the most anticipated of the season. La Porte vs. Barbers Hill Records: Lady Dawgs 28-4; Eagles 35-4. The state’ s No. 8 ranked Lady Dawgs and the No. 1 Eagles will have their own Hartman Bridge series this week as the best-of-three game regional championship begins Thursday in Mont Belvieu before crossing the ship channel Friday for a game in La Porte. The two teams are similar –– they can hit, play defense and pitch –– the only differences may be depth and the ability to create their own luck. At this stage of the season, sometimes it’s as important to be lucky as it is to be good. The La Porte pitching staff has been a key to the Lady Dawgs success this year and it has shown in the playoffs. Senior Aaliyah Maldonado is the ace of the pitching staff. She’s thrown 23 1/3 innings during the playoffs and is the probable Game 1 starter. Fellow senior Miranda Lozano has also been very good in her 15 2/3 innings pitched during the team’s latest run and sophomore Stori Zacher tossed a shutout to get the team past Hendrickson Friday night. Leadoff batter Kallie Walker was impressive in the Hendrickson series. The junior batted .400 with two RBIs and three runs scored. Maldonado and Kynlee Arechiga each hit .333, while Julianna Tarango posted a .375 batting average against the Hawks with two RBIs and a run. Delilah Rosales has been very good in the bottom third of the lineup. She went 4-for-8 and scored twice in the three games against Hendrickson. The Lady Dawgs can manufacture runs from any place in the lineup and usually do. The Hill reached the regional series in just five games. Staff ace Macie Bryant, and the defense, hadn’t allowed a run in the playoffs until the seventh inning of the semifinal game against East View –– 35 consecutive innings of scoreless softball –– and the offense has outscored their opponents 20-1. Leading the attack is Aybrie Corona. The infielder has batted .357 in the playoffs with seven RBIs and four runs scored. Catcher Zoey Hood is more than just a defensive player, she is also capable at the plate and is batting .429 with two RBIs and two runs in five playoff games. JosLynn Cooper is sometimes overlooked but her glove at third base and he patience at the plate is top notch. The junior is hitting .438 in the playoffs with two RBIs and three runs scored. This team is a juggernaut, and it will take exceptional play to derail its return to the state finals. The first pitch for Game 1 is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Barbers Hill High School. Game 2 is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Friday at La Porte High School. If a third game is needed, it will be played at Crosby at 1 p.m. Saturday.

We'll find out soon enough my guy

Yea the guys will have to be a lot tougher than last year. A lot of those sophomores will be juniors so hopefully there will be some mental and physical maturity. DLine gone have to really get after it for 4 quarters

It will not matter what Newton lost up front. WV will be non-competitive.

Woodville will be faster, but will they be willing to tackle inside the box every play, all game. Coach Taylor has a way of wearing defenses down.. even the more athletic teams. Woodville could get 3 or less possessions each half.

Hardin lost the entire backfield except the qb. They'll still be able to move the ball some with the big OLine but it won't be the same. Defense won't be the same either. Woodville will be a lot faster and will have a little more depth than Hardin

It's not unreasonable to form that opinion based on what happened last year and you may be right. I just know what Woodville has and know it could be very competitive if things fall in place. Our coaching staff has a little adjusting to do so nothings guaranteed but we definitely got some pieces.

Not sure why the coaching staff would indicate opposite. Very odd.

It is wild she got probation and no jail time.

With all do respect… Newton will beat the brakes off everyone else in the district this season. Save this post and if I’m wrong feel free to call me out on it

Hardin isn’t gonna be what they were last year… That’s taking a step back.

Yeah something is very smelly… The connection between Conservator Andrew Kim, Third Future founder Mike Miles (tea appointed super for hisd)….which is where Massey came from. Remember 3rd future was in contract with BISD then backed out of remaining year. the TEA and third future connection is what I’m concerned about. Now I do agree with takeover. It needed to happen but how they are going about it is not professional in my opinion. Get ready for the really good teachers to throw the deuce.

Wow... using the word "pathetic" when talking about a group of young men.

Shelbyville might actually run off and win state now.

Any names for the West Sabine or Hemphill jobs? I heard the Hemphill coach is the one taking over the Corrigan job,

Yes, from what I have been told, Hardin lost a senior guard and gained a sophomore tackle, who moved back over from Liberty. It appears the line will once again be the engine behind this machine. Somebody on here said, they believe hardin takes a significant step back? I see it quite the opposite. I think they just got better.

I thought McCullers did well after the HR on the 3rd pitch of the game. King can’t throw the 3rd strike to end a game. It’s probably the toughest strike to throw, but it needs to be done.

A couple times? Obviously you missed the memo. Just because we haven’t heard the acronym, the definition fits, wouldn’t you say?

Brookeland defeats Avery in one game series 17-0 Brookeland advances to state semi-final for second year in a row.
