HOTROD309 reacted to AggiesAreWe in Willie Ray Smith Finalists - Silsbee SWEEPS!
I think the confusion is a media source started listing the winners for the year in which it was awarded and not the season for which it was played.
It's 2023 and this year's award is for the season of 2022. Some will list it as 2023 winner, some 2022.

HOTROD309 reacted to AggiesAreWe in 3/22-Bridge City- 4 Silsbee- 3 FINAL
Watched the entire game on video. This is one of those games were a team's poor fielding cost them the game. Two errors scored three runs. Both errors with 2 outs.
Difference of the game.

Sometimes it pays to be lucky and luck had a lot to do with that team.... coin flips, coin flips, coin flips.

Shouldn't be 10 players on first team. That's not even including superlatives.
As for when to post, I think it's tacky to do it within 5 minutes of the last team losing.

HOTROD309 got a reaction from STiger85 in First Scrimmages
Silsbee beat a young Kountze team Saturday not sure what final score was but a lot to a little .. Silsbee defense looked good on balls that were put in play. Showed some pop in the line up which will be needed .. and pitching looked strong

hear is the realization and then I'll stop.
College ball is not what it is cracked up to be. D1 and down.. Workouts at 530am, day filled with school, 2pm meetings, practice till 730pm, and mandatory tutorials. Its a 530am-9pm a day job. No time for socializing and and enjoying the College experience... a player really has to enjoy the process to be happy. Hence why so many return after the 1st year.
Here is the real truth that parents need to hear from ALL coaches.. high school-select(and be wary of anyone who is requiring money for services and tells you different..): College is only allowed 11.7 scholarships to give out to a 35-50 man roster. Most colleges will bring in 70+ (12 catchers) in the fall and let some go by start of spring.. Its a cut throat business.. Most kids, if they get any kind of athletic scholarship, are lucky to get 20%-30%. Very, very seldom does a player receive a full ride. If you are a parent or player and are spending all this money for travel ball, lessons, and exposure as a investment for school... then really just save that money and put into savings or investments for College costs... you will come out way ahead.. and your kid will be happier enjoying the college experience.
If you are doing these and spending the money to: help you kid's skills to help him become a better player and teammate, for the kids enjoyment, better understanding of the game, to help him learn life lessons, family fun.. really anything other than the expectation that your child will receive a college athletic scholarship.. then by all means do it..
I would also stress the importance of GRADES to your child.. grades, class rank, SAT are EXTREEMLY important.. academic scholarships along with grants for low socioeconomic are the deciding factors in recruitment.
Sorry, all this talk about baseball college recruitment has got me fired up.. so many do not understand the reality and there are many who take advantage of that situation and it is upsetting.

Vidor could surprise a few teams with their pitching staff (Reagan & Reagan) and the power in the middle with (Atwood, Munoz, 7 Bailey).

HOTROD309 reacted to 89er in 2022 Season
Burned Out, how? Start playing tournaments at 6 years old. At 7 play 4 weekends a month. at 8 start a throwing program with weighted balls at a local facility. play 7 days a week 365 days a year till 8th grade. then as a freshman they dont make varsity so mom and dad go ballistic cause little johnny has been taking pitching lessons since he was 4 and is a D1 candidate since he was 8. Now being completely focused to make varsity you increase the throwing program to 2 times a day. Then OMG an arm injury and now Tommy John surgery.
