Congrats to all the players and Coach on the list. Pretty tough to pick in our district.

That Brookshire loss still hurts

It's hard to see if the pitch was a little outside or a little in. But the heighth was spot on. Man, looked like a perfect, "down the pike" strike. Sad...like I said earlier we used to call that a "blank high" fastball. That's the one you want to hit. The "blank" is another word for a rooster. Don't want to say the real thing on here, family site and all. Lol. Let's just say when they fight roosters, they call them "blank" fights. Fill in the blank. Lol

Guys, that's not what Cardinalbacker is saying for the love of all thing Holy. He is pointing out that these guys, the ups, already take enough crap. Their whole existence is judgement calls. Last I checked there is no instant replay in HS baseball, hell, any baseball. He is saying that riding the up all game will NOT help in the decision making of his said calls. And it might actually be detrimental to the team that is doing it. Not in spite from the ump, but just the ump getting fed up in general. Now, with that said, we all saw the pitch and all of us can agree it was a strike, probably CS people also. But that is baseball, it doesn't always go your way. CB is trying to say that riding an ump all day won't help the cause period, even if he shakes it off!!

.....paid that last full measure of devotion so that we could live free.
A solemn thank you to those that have served and and sacrificed.
We will never forget you.

As do y'all.

Good lawd!! WOS vs. an El Paso team? Even if they met half way, WOS could play a team in Georgia and El Paso could play a game in California and it would be a closer trip! Lol!!! Orange to El Paso. 857 miles.......

These are kids. Most of them young. Emotions happen, especially at their age. The ending of last nights game, though not condoning actions whatsoever, put the teenagers emotions in overdrive. Let's all look back when we were 14-18 years old, did we make the best decisions at the spur of a momment?? I know I didn't. Maturity comes with age. Thanks to the quick actions of the coaches and some fans that helped get the situation under control, because it could have been way worse. And to speak about some parents getting upset, etc. I don't believe in cussing, etc at the umps what so ever but if that was my my child that was robbed, I would be a little upset also. Unless any of us "bystanders" are in that situation, we wouldn't know how we would react. Speculation and assumptions only cause more damage and misunderstanding. Remeber, once again, these are kids....kids that aren't playing for money or fame, rather, the love of the game. Putting everything on the line with their hearts and soul.

100% agree.

My "bucket list" of teams I've always wanted WOS to play has been fulfilled the past few years(Cuero, Sinton, Celina and Sweet Water) Now to find some others. Stephenville and Brownwood maybe?

Blooper hit. CS runs. Tims throws him out at home!!! 

Who would have thought this young team would have made it this far?! While I'm sad the 2017 journey ended here and ended like this, I really look forward to the future of this group of young men!

Bridge City far exceeded all expectations for this season.  Every team except one goes home heartbroken each year. BC fans have to be excited about the future with so many of these kids coming back. 
Great season, Cards!

Congrats NDN's!!!!! We have PNG, Kirbyville in the Region Final. Now we just need BC to pull it off!! We'll have 3A,4A and 5A represented in the Region 3 championship as long as BC can take care of business. It's 4-0 BC in the bottom of the 1st. Freshman, Hamm pitching for the cards. Come on SETX!!!!

I know they're frustrated, but they should be proud as well.  They put up one heck of a battle.

For real... I could hear a lot of bad language coming from this China Springs fans.
