I watched a kid from Silsbee at the Jasper tournament pitch against LCM...His name was Josh Skinner I believe...Left Handed, looked to be about 6'3 or 6'4....Silsbee coach told me he threw 84 this summer....He was actually doing pretty well against LCM until his team started making some errors

BH is undefeated, but who have they played???...I still dont see them as a top 5 team yet

i agree...the sparks kid is a pretty good pitcher

thank you

1. LCM- (12-4) Well where do you start with this team? Everything is clicking at the right time. The Bears have played a very competitive schedule and have faired well. They have a great pitching staff with tons of depth, led by Clayton Ehlert (possibly the area’s best all around player). There are no weak spots in the lineup; everyone can hit. They have a big group of seniors who are great leaders that expect to win. Should be a real contender for a state championship this year and take the district crown away from Nederland. 2. Nederland- (7-5) The Bulldogs, who went 12-0 in district play last year, should give LCM a run for there money in 20-4a. There are those that see them as the favorite in the district. Ned has played a brutal pre-district schedule, and is coming into district a battle-tested team. They did hang with 5a powerhouse The Woodlands earlier in the year, and 10 run ruled #1 3a team Bridge City. Pitcher Matison Smith, outfielder Micah Mosley, and second baseman Chris Laird will all have to step up to defeat the Battlin Bears and defend their 20-4a crown. 3. PNG- (3-10) The Indians have had a rough go of it this year. They have played an extremely tough schedule, but in all honesty, it’s not looking good for PNG at this point as far as winning 20-4a. They should be getting Preseason All Southeast Texas Team catcher Blake Buchanan back for the start of district, which will definitely help their lineup both offensively and defensively. The NDNs still have one of the best pitchers in the area, Rice Signee Zach Harwood, as their ace, but will need help from the other guys on the staff in order to compete for a district title. Nevertheless, we still see the usual big three teams going to the playoffs from 20-4a. 4. Vidor- (7-6) Is this the year a team other than the big three will make it out of 20-4a and into the playoffs? Many believe it is, but we don’t see it that way. The Pirates have had some bright points this season, but haven’t played a schedule that even remotely compares to that of LCM, Nederland, or PNG. No offense to Orangefield, but how is playing in the OF Tournament compare to playing in a Brenham, Woodlands, or Lufkin Tourney. Not much comparison there. With that said, PNG could slip up and let Vidor into the playoffs, but we just don’t see it happening this year. 5. Ozen- (6-7) While the program has come a long way in the last few years, the Panthers have been dealt some bad cards having to play in 20-4a. Sophomore DD Lott has been impressive this year, but he alone won’t be enough for Ozen to make the playoffs. 6. Lumberton- (4-6) The Raiders have not done so well this year, even while playing a weak schedule. Lumberton will come out and play hard as they always do, but it won’t be enough to land them a playoff spot in 20-4a 7. Central- (1-5) What can we say? Central just isn’t a baseball school. The top 3 teams in this district are just on a different level than they are.

how hard does he throw??

another worthy nominee is Will Alvis 3b, Rhp, Jasper Had a high average, a homerun, and struck out 15 against WO-S last night going 7 innings and allowing 1 run

1. Kingwood -- defending state champion still strong, making the finals of the Minute Maid Classic and saving their ace for the district opener on Tuesday...at West Brook. The pitching duo of Ojala and Toucton (with Torres a solid 3rd) is one of the best in the state. All 3 have already signed with major D1 programs. Coach Denney? He just keeps churning out powerhouse teams year in and year out. This program is the envy of most. 2. Humble -- regional finalists last year (losing in best of 3 series to Kingwood after knocking out West Brook) returns Rice signee Ryan Berry to lead staff. Huge boos this weekend when Chris Corrigan (UH signee) returned to the mound after not playing an inning until then (the reasons for which are an unspoken mystery). They don't hit the ball like they did last year (the lost almost the entire top 2/3rd of their order) but Coach Sitton is good and he usually finds a way. 3. West Brook -- their outlook has improved dramatically since their pitching has performed much better than expected. RHP David Murphy and Josiah Svoboda provides much needed help to the staff led by ace LHP Mark Serna. The Bruins have crushed the ball in preseason -- they have 4 starters (Armstrong, Ferguson, Murphy and Serna) all over .400 with two others (Falgout and Lycan) knocking on that door. Can the continue that pace when the rigors of the 'toughest district in the State" begins? 4. Spring -- a very inconsistent, but talented, team during the preseason. Led by RHP Zack Bucholski, the Lions and their new coach are still 'getting to know each other'...but this is a tradition-rich program. They back down to noone. 5. Baytown Sterling -- the Rangers are one of the disappointments to date. Anchored with a strong pitching staff led by ace RHP Demsay, and backed up by 2 very good LHP (Fuqua and Cervenka), this team has struggled all season. Look for Coach Tadlock to play his best hand -- his front-line pitching-- during district and make a move. Nevertheless, Sterling has dropped from everyone's off-season expectations. 6. Baytown Lee -- although less talented than their cross-town rivals, the Ganders have played better and been more successful so far this season. They are a very tough team at home but, in a district as deep and talented as this, they are in the bottom half lookng up. 7. Spring Westfield -- Westfield was an also-ran last year and it appears nothing has changed on the north side of Houston for these guys. There is some talent there but it is thin. 8. Port Arthur Memorial -- the Titans have a new coach and have won more games than they have in any year of their existence...but, against who? Deweyville? a 1-run win vs. Nederland's JV team.? While it would be wonderful for SE Texas to have a competitive team in South County, this isn't the year. Marcus Freeman is a caliber player but it is going to take more than that to turn this program into a 22-5A contender. Put together by MIF04....Big thanks to him [Hidden Content]

Alvis struck out 15 against WO-S

i think BC will win district just because of angelle.......when the cards get in the playoffs they may run into some problems if they play a 3 game series....the other team just throws their #3 guy against Angelle....and then their ace and #2 guy the next day against BCs #2 and #3 guy....

Jasper is really thin on pitching right now so Coach Mixon wanted to save his aces for OF and WO-S...Just to make sure he won them....had the #3 pitcher been healthy this weekend...im sure LCM would have saw Alvis last night

Parsons goes all game for Jasper allowing 2 runs...good outing for the sophomore

Elhert hit a shot today that was the longest ive seen since Sam Smith played for Jasper

Folks, LCM is for real....thats all i can say.....

the 1 and 2 pitchers were not injured but the #3 isnt pitching this weekend so they are really thin on pitching...Coach just wants to throw his aces against Orangefield and WO-S tommorow because he prolly feels like he can beat them a little easier...You throw Alvis tonite and lose against LCM, then your pretty much screwed for atleast one game tommorow pitching wise...Seems like a wise decision to me

did elhert pitch?...I left after the fourth...if he did...he only gave up 2 at the most

Jasper threw their #4 or 5 guy against LCM....just because of some injruies and lack of pitching depth......Wouldnt use this to rate either team.....I personally think its pretty impressive that they stayed within 5 runs of LCM considering the guys they through had very little pitching experience
