Chester86 got a reaction from goldenlady in Young Teams
I pretty much read every post when it comes to HS baseball - just love it. I see a lot of posts about "young teams". A team of young players doesn't always have to mean problems. We did not have select baseball when I was growing up. You got 18 games in little/senior league, and maybe a few more in all-stars. So, if you maxed out, scrimmages included, you might get 25 games a year. A couple years ago my son played 88 games. This experience on the field means a freshman or sophomore who is invested in travel ball should be prepared to step into a role and contribute. I love seeing Silsbee with numerous underclassmen competing, and succeeding. At Evadale we are starting four freshman, a sophomore and four seniors. Last thing is a kid doesnt have to play travel ball to be successful. It has to do with how much work they put in. I guess what I am trying to say is don't dismiss a team just becase they are young - they might just surprise you. -

Crying shame. 2 officers shot outside their station. Wonder if it will be listed as a hate crime? -
Chester86 got a reaction from ReconMarine1980 in Evadale Tourney Schedule
Great tourney, and watched a bunch of baseball over the last 2 days. It was neat getting to talk to the kids from Colorado. They said they will take the dry 8°, over our wet cold A lot of close games, and a lot of work on the part of the coaches. Thanks to all the cheerleaders for working the concession stand. All the ladies who manned the hospitality room, and all the maintenance workers who attended to everything else. -

Chester86 got a reaction from 5GallonBucket in Does God Love Homosexuals?
I agree with the fact this topic is pointlessly debated. I disagree with your last sentence, and your disbelief in God. If I am wrong, then I am just worm dirt; but I have faith. If you are wrong, you face an eternal damnation. There is proof every day in the beauty of a sunrise. Choose not to believe, but remember that it is your choice. The day is coming when EVERY knee shall bow. Roll your eyes in exasperation, but I think you know...I mean after all, you are ENLIGHTENED. -

Chester86 got a reaction from IT'S IN THE BONE in 23-3A Folks it's about that time lets BREAK IT DOWN
Kirbyville
Buna
Kountze
Warren
I think the top three all have a shot at the title. I do not really have anything concrete to put Buna over Kountze, it is just a feeling. I think with what Kirbyville has returning, and how well they did last year they deserve to be the preseason favorite. I give Warren the fourth spot based on pitching. My son is a sophomore, and I am pretty familiar with most of the sophomores in the area, as we have played summer ball with several different teams. I know Kountze has Hunter Smart (former Gladiator) and Hunter Walston (Banditos). Warren has Kelby Weyler (Gladiator) and I think he will be the difference in getting that fourth spot. Kirbyville has Chet Jones (Gladiator), and I believe eight returning starters. Not real sure on what Buna or EC has in that age group, but I do know Buna has some really good athletes. Anahuac has Caleb Edmunds (Gladiator) who is finally healthy and supposedly hitting well, and Savio Fontenot (Xtreme). Know nothing about Hardin, and my nephew plays for Deweyville, but I do not think they have much as far as pitching. You asked for opinions, and I am just throwing mine out there. Wish all of the teams an injury free season, and can't wait to get rolling. I do believe the Rebels will only play Kirbyville at their tourney, and we usually scrimmage Buna early.

Chester86 got a reaction from JWB in jack dallas wo-s qb
Very proud of Jack stepping in and doing what he has done. But knowing Jack he would defer to the line, the rb's and the wr's for the success. Humble young man and the ultimate team player. -

Chester86 got a reaction from winwin in Luke Lozaya to Alvin CC
I'd like to congratulate Luke Lozaya (Legacy) for signing on with Alvin Community College. Luke has put in a lot of work, gone to a lot of camps and had a busy summer of travel ball. ACC is getting a good one, and best of luck to Luke. -
Chester86 got a reaction from plergetry in Top returning underclassmen
Give me a list of your schools best up and comers. You have the juniors in the big college recruiting year, the sophomores trying to make an impact, and in some cases the freshmen who will come in and make an impact.
