So PNG LCM and Livingston have clinched playoff spots. and Nederland can clinch with next win, or any Vidor loss.

I overheard one 20-4A coach say the words "I think Livingston might have the best team in our district" Now don't get offended.  He was just speaking highly of Livingston.  He was not trying to degrade any others.

How many wins does Memorial have on the season?  Who is coaching that bunch this year?  I was recently told they have a pitching prospect over there.  Any validity to that?

Topic: Vidor vs. Port Neches-Groves Game Thread/Vidor wins 8-3! why does the topic title read Vidor won???????

Raiders are struggling putting runs on the board.  2 runs in 5 district games!

admin thats where I got all of this. i was in need of two more to win. cant use weber! graduated high school before 93 is it wes cooksey as someone posted or jessie cooksey as someone posted?  or two different people? I think I can use ryan robertson. Year graduated from what high school? I think I can use bronson from jasper.  that should get me to 51 to win the argument!

Doing research to solve argument (now wager) I got into.  Need some help with this.  My argument is that our local area has had over [b]50[/b] (which equals 51 or more) kids get picked up by professional baseball organizations over the last 20 years.  Don't forget to name school. And keep it within last 20 or they don't help me win. I looked up these and I hope I get some help from you guys to add two more with the [b]year they graduated high school[/b] and what team they originally signed with. So far I have have:  49 from 14 schools please help, need a couple more since 1993. LCM 6 Port Neches Groves 4 Beaumont Westbrook 5 Hardin Jefferson 5 Jasper 6 Bridge City 4 Woodville 2 Buna 2 Lumberton 2 West Orange Sark 2 Beaumont Central 1 Deweyville 1 Beaumont Kelly 1 Nederland 7 Orangefield?

I think the Beaumont Enterprise should spend more time and energy writing articles about kids that are eligible to play and are staying out of trouble abd excelling on the field instead of writing on this topic.

[quote name="coachdaddy" post="1198357" timestamp="1331942540"] Well we dont seem to have this problem following the Varsity boys soccer team. But oh well Ill catch a game eventually! [/quote] Thats because soccer people aren't smart enough to come in out of the rain!

Anybody know these two teams season and district records?

HamshireFannett beat Lumberton. So prob 4-1 or 5-1?

[quote name="ScienceTeacher" post="1186135" timestamp="1330273999"] As usual lumberton hosts another successful tourny and I look forward to a great season in setx. [/quote] I thought that when 4A went to 4 playoff teams, Lumberton might benefit and have a few post season appearances. Maybe this is the year.

[quote name="westend1" post="1176434" timestamp="1329014629"] Westbrook up 16-4 when I left. [/quote] It was more of the same the rest of the way. Brook looked to be really strong throughout the order. I would think they will compete for the district title. I don't see them finishing any worse than 3rd. LCM struggled a good bit. Should be in the mix for fourth, or could be a long year for the bears. I'll give them the benifit of the doubt for now, perhaps Westbrook was just that much more talented than the LCM.

[quote name="GoDogs27" post="1068973" timestamp="1317320384"] Good lord.. I've lost a lot of respect for that staff over there just because of this. [/quote] I saw west orange stark wear a white jersey once. This is an outrage.  Their school colors are blue and silver.  I think both staffs at LCM and WOS should be let go for being such poor roll models to their students. Not really!

What is newcomer?  Newcomer to the district?  Newcomer to varsity baseball? 

[quote name="SportsFanLuke" post="1008987" timestamp="1305166660"] If I'm not mistaken, district selections won't take place until the playoffs are over. But, I could be wrong. [/quote] U R the kids in this district have already been told.

[quote name="Be Real" post="1008903" timestamp="1305154030"] Im a little confused how are the picks for all district actually done?  Please enlighten me on why this was posted and please give me your take. Panthers, To those who are interested.  These are the season ending stats that we have.   Hopefully you are able to view them.  It depends on what program you have.  The PDF is probably clearer.  Also for those who have concerns with the all district picks, I would like to inform you that we have no control over the other coaches choices.  They each have their own method of choosing who they want to vote for.  I can tell you that 95% of the time it comes down to the highest numbers when they choose.   Also, I think I can say on behalf of all coaches that we hate to see a kid deserving  all district not chosen because of low numbers.  My suggestion is to continue working hard and improving so there is no doubt who is best.   Don’t let All District Picks disappoint you, let them motivate you. Once again I would like to congratulate all players selected Im just asking!  [/quote] Be real, Why ask why something was posted when you are the one that posted it?

I now see what you meant by misleading.  The vidor / png part.  I went back and read again. I see what you were saying. 07

You are right PNG is 12-4. Not misleading though. Nederland and LCM are a combined 28-0. And Vidor has now lost 5 times in a row in the first round,  BUT!  You have to be in the playoffs five times in a row to get knocked out fives times.  So good job to the pirates.

Pat This probably common knowledge to most on here, but I was wondering if Crosby flipped PNG for one game or not.

Some interesting stats: I looked back at the 20-4A history thread and 20-4A is about .800 in the bi district round. Of the 10 bi district round losses: 5 were by Vidor 4 were by PNG 1 by WOS It looks as if the bulldogs and bears are batting a thousand in that round as far as I can tell. Pretty impressive stat.

[quote name="Critter" post="993801" timestamp="1302101465"] 1) Silsbee Tigers ----------Most Surprised team in 2011 2) Bridge City Cardinals --- Most Disappointing so far in 2011 [/quote] The cards are now tied for first place in district.  Congrats to their coaches and players who have hled it all together and weathered a bad day or two.  My picks: 1) Livingston Lions -------------Most suprising team of 2011 Found a way to beat PNG twice 2) WOS Mustangs-------------Most disappointing so far of 2011 There was talk of a state championship

Game is on KOGT according to their website. Looks like the Bears are a big underdog in this one. While I agree the dogs take it i think the Bears are scrappy and will keep it close. Maybe finish something like Dogs 5 LCM 3.

It was not too many years ago that PNG lost seven or eight in a row just before district.  The main problem was errors.  The coaches righted the ship in time to make the playoffs and put that bad time in the history books without many even remembering it.  Brevell was on that staff that turned the snowball around.  He will do it this time as well.

10 pitches an inning? unbelievable!!!!!
