My A-D-D kicked in after the first paragraph.  Great post with a lot of practical thoughts, but I also agree with the other posters.  You simply will not find volunteers to come out and give the dedication it takes to complete a season, and for the pay they will receive.  I too am hardest on my son, but I feel I tend to go the other way and try to be overly cognizant of the fact there are other kids on the team.  I stress that I am out there to coach the team, not my son.  He (my son) will have to earn anything he gets.  Looking at the stats at the end of the year, I do believe he did.

Congratulations to Coach Dearing, the staff, and all the players for winning the District 32 Major title.  It was an exciting game, and came down to a play at the plate, with 2 outs for Bridge City to take a 4-3 win in the last half of the last inning.  Best of luck in sectionals, and again, congratulations on a great year so far.  Keep it going.

Yes, we do.

When do the coaches flip for the series/1-game, and locations?

Way to go boys, and continued best of luck as the season progresses.

Congratulations to the Texas Extreme for winning the 11 AA Governor Games.  The runner-ups, the GTB Gunslingers had the best showing of their season.  We (Gunslingers) went 3 and 2 and beat the number 1 seed of the tournament.  The boys brought their bats and actually showed that they know how to use them.  I just hate that they waited until the last part of the season to start showing up.  Best of luck to all teams as they push to the different world series. 

Great season Chester Yellowjackets!!!! 

C'mon Tracy, get those boys ready and push on through to the next round.

Coach Todd is a great guy, and a man of integrity and class.  In addition to those intangibles he is a great baseball coach.  Those guys are hard to find, and I wish him the best of luck from the Beans.

[quote name="Chester86" post="800602" timestamp="1273669637"] I wonder if someone posted something about the Hutto Hippos vs the Winters Blizzards if someone would get on and say...."Hey, what about the Rebels, I think they could have taken both of them."  Best of luck 'Jackets, and I wish I could be there Saturday.  [/quote] Man, I had positive karma til that post, I mean it was like +8/-4, until that.  I have watched and know there are two unwritten rules on here, 1) Never say anything negative about WO-S football, and 2) Never say anything negative about Evadale baseball.  Oh well, there's always tomorrow, maybe I'll get back to above .500 someday.  Go get 'em in Lufkin Saturday Chester.

Releave......is that when someone exits voluntarily a second time?

No hidden meanings, and no innuendos, just a question, why did they switch to TCAL?  It is so much smaller and I was just curious.  They were always super competitive in TAPPS.

Great job Bulldogs, best of luck.......that is until you reach Chester.

Anyone got the score on this one?  Took the wife out for mother's day, 'cause we got baseball the rest of the weekend.

Didn't you have a coach who was real excited about the baseball season, had done a bunch of work on the field and you fired him right before the season?  This was a young man with great moral character, very knowledgeable of the game, and excited about growing a program.  The young man had played all four years in college, and sure seemed like a perfect fit for your school.  This coach went out and found a grant to purchase items for the field, getting a wind screen for the outfield fence, and several loads of dirt.  I'm just curious and would like to know if there are some problems with the program before someone would consider making a donation.

Was just a general question, going to try and catch this game.  I don't live in Chester anymore, but down in Bridge City and before I headed that way wanted to make sure it was still on.  I had only seen the one post on it, so I was checking.  Thanks for the information.

Is this game still on?

I hope Chester is only concentrating on their first series.  I could care less about Evadale, Maud, Overton or any other team that the 'Jackets might face, because you don't win your first series you're at the house watching everyone else.  Chester is an unknown, and I would just as soon let everyone talk about Evadale and continue to talk about their run to state.  We'll just play as hard as we can, and things will work themselves out one way or another.

Great, thanks.  Keep us updated, I sure would like to get up there and see them play.  We played Latexo in Nacogdoches....or was it at Sam Houston....that was a long time ago.  Hopefully it will be the same results though.

Who will Chester start out with in the playoffs, and where?

Took my son to this game, and neither of us was disappointed.  What a great game, and well played by both sides.  You hate to see anyone lose a game like this, but someone had to.  Congratulations Orangefield, and best of luck to both teams in the playoffs.

Best of luck to the Bulldogs.

That was a great story.  What an awesome opportunity it would be to sit down and be able to talk baseball with such history.  It kind of reminds me of [b][u]Sandlot[b][u][/u][/b][/u][/b].

Coach Dave is the man, congratulations to the Storm.
