Why not!

[quote name="Old Eagle #70" post="1020324" timestamp="1308801152"] I've got to agree with you here. 5) why arent we doing more to consolidate the talent in the GT area...rather than continue to dilute it with "friends", "daddy's" "high school teams" etc? So with that said, who's the first to toss in their hat? GTS, Crush, Intensity, YG etc..... I've seen this subject beat around here many times and no one wants to give. Would the Shockers be the first? If so Intensity will be the second! This fall would be a great time to consolidate. Now is the time to make it happen. When is the last time SETX has had a team that could seriously compete on the GOLD level? Was it Beaumont Blast? I don't think we ,SETX, will ever compete as long as softball stays the same, ""friends", "daddy's" "high school teams" etc " [/quote] This was tried about 4 years ago an did not last.  Crush, Gulf Coast Breakers, and SETX Terror combined.  Couple of people.... (dads) did not like not having the control of the team and left to form another team!  Sorry but I don't think it will ever work!

Congrats Shea!

[quote name="Slam14" post="991613" timestamp="1301695522"] [quote author=01sNanan link=topic=81836.msg991322#msg991322 date=1301643560] I was at this Tournament all weekend and have to say the best game (Champoinship Game) was the first bracket game, Houston Wrath vs. Bayou Bats. This game was 0-0 through the entire game with excellent sportsmanship from all on both sides. Both teams made unbelieveable plays and the final score was 2-0 in the last inning Houston Wrath took it. First I want to say to #7 (Houston Wrath Pitcher) who's pitching hand was injured by a line drive in the first inning by the second batter for the Bayou Bats. This child had to leave and go to the hospital. She returned later in the day with three fingers sprained,  #7 did not play the rest of Sat. Her three fingers were black with bruising.  Sunday morning #7 was on the mound again with her swollen bruised fingers and pitched every game Sunday all the way through the Championship game! #7 you are one tough kid with a heart for your team and SOFTBALL!!! 4th place game Houston Wrath vs. Bayou Bats final 4-0. Bayou Bats lost both of their bracket  games to Houston Wrath. In these two games combined Boyou Bats only gave up six runs. Love waching the Bayou Bats play. These girls have fun, play hard, smile, and Coaches are having a blast! It brings a smile to your face and heart to sit back and see the love on this field. All their parents sit together, they chant for their girls together. The Coaches can say one word to the fans and the entire bleachers scream a kids nickname. Not one girl on his team is called by their name, all nicknames! Coaches smiling and jumping around in joy for their girls it doesnt matter if they hit a homerun or strikeout! AND EVERYONE KNOWS WHEN BAYOU BATS ENTER THE PARK WITH THEIR MOTORIZED CART/ BAT BAG HOLDER/ STEREO ALL IN ONE. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!! [b] 3rd place game Houston Wrath vs. Orange Crush 18-1. First off I would like to speak on behalf of the Golden Triangle. All of our girls are a joy to watch and can't wait to see these kids at the High School level, they are talented and have heart. With that said it was a total embarassment to see the Orange Crush Coach charge the Wrath Coach yelling and making a complete fool of himself in front of everyone. Reason?? He thought they should have let up on the score. REALLY??? We are all role models for these girls. Well if this is a role model I hope to NEVER see him again and hope my team nor anyone else's team are ever exposed this pitiful excuss for a role model again.  Nothing taken from the kids on Orange Crush at all. They are great kids and play hard. Huge THANK YOU to Houston Wrath Coach who walked away. Just being from this area it was a terrible embarassment to all of us and especially his girls and any other child that had to witness this. Umpires should have banned this guy from EVER stepping foot in Ford Park again.[/b] Championship game, Houston Wrath vs. OOC final score can't remember exact score but was Houston Wrath by at least 15 runs. KUDOS to OOC out of Lumberton for never giving up and all fans and Coaches showing great sportsmanship throughout whole tournament. PROUD OF YOU GIRLS!! GOLDEN TRIANGLE BE PROUD OF THESE COACHES AND THEIR ASSISTANT COACHES FOR ALL THEY DO. THEY PUT MANY HOURS INTO THESE GIRLS TO TEACH THEM NOT ONLY SOFTBALL, BUT RESPECT, TEAMWORK, HARDWORK, AND MOST OF ALL IT'S NOT IF YOU WIN OR LOSE IT IS HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME. THE GIRLS WILL CHERISH THESE MEMORIES THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. Bayou Bats-Jeff Boudreaux/Jennifer Bramblett, Orange Crush-Codi Trahan, Unleeshed-Steven,  Out Of Control-Lumberton Coaches, Mid-Co Mojo- Nederland Coaches:  STAND UP COACHES GREAT SPORTSMANSHIP Y'ALL CONTINUE TO MAKE A DIFFERANCE IN ALL OF THESE YOUNG LADIES LIVES!!!! [/quote] Wow!  This tourney didn't even break even if EVERYBODY played in the championship!??? 01sNanan - First of all I don't have a daughter in this age group or playing now so I have no personal heart ache here, but I do have a little experience and insight.  I think your bashing of this Orange Crush coach is a little misguided.   An 18-1 10U game with the leading team still stealing home?  Really?  And the point to this was?  The REAL embarrassement are folks who want to preach morals, sportsmanship, and role models only to show none of these things themselves.    As a parent you can't always be there every minute 24-7 so ANYBODY that I entrust my 10 year old daughter to I would want them to always have her back and stand up for her.  I would demand it.  Sounds to me like the OC coach did just that...stood up for his girls when others forgot what it was all about.  You're efforts are to turn people "the good people of the golden triangle" against this coach.  heck, if I had a 10U daughter this is the type of guy who I'd want mine playing for!   You probably didn't really mean any harm, but my gut feeling is you're a mom (or grandmom) who this 10u player is your first softball experience. [/quote] Really 18-1   Stealing home up 18-1....what comes around goes around!  Sounds like a team trying to embarrass another.  Somewhere down the line of all the tournaments that you play in you will find as a team that some people NEVER forget.  As for the coach wanting to fight.....sounds like he just wanted to voice his displeasure with the other coaches.  Enjoy the 10U and 12U years because when the teams get older it gets to be cut-throat out there!  Hope you all have a great summer!

A few blown calls, probably on both teams, but that always happens. I do have one question. I thought that defensive holding was an automatic first down. On one particular play BC threw an incomplete pass. I think the down was either 2nd or 3rd and 11 yards were needed for a first down. The refs called a densive holding. They penalized WOS 10 yards and the down remained the same and the yardage needed for a first was 1 yard. I thought it should have been first and ten after the 10 yard penalty. The BC coaches did not complain about the call so it must have been right. Just wondering. [/quote]  the ball was 1, yard behind the line of scrimmage when the call ( horrible call) was made, hence it not being a first down.10 yards plus negative original yardage does not equal a first down. By the way, both of the defensive holding calls were horrible. Wos would pick the ball off, and all of a sudden, a penalty. I can understand charity, but really?? And yes, the officiating was terrible. [/quote] I did not think it mattered where the defensive holding was called. I thought defensive holding was an automatic first down. But I guess not. [/quote]  not totally sure, but I think defensive holding is different from pass interference. Interference is auto first down. Holding is ten I think. We should ask someone who knows. Lol. [/quote] I may be wrong but I believe in HS it is just a 10 yd. penalty, no auto 1st down. In the NFL it is a 5 yd. penalty and auto first down.  [/quote] Defensive Holding is an automatic 1st down.......  They messed it up but it didn't matter on that play!

As for travel vs HS.....  done both!  At least most travel ball players know there limitations, know what it takes to get better, and have some knowledge and skill to play the game.  Many HS only players don't relize what is out there!  Travel is the only way.....
