Kirbyville with an in the park Grand Slam---4 to 4

Still Bottom of 1st
 

Didn’t make make the game but Kirbyville won.  I think 12-1.

SA would be out of their minds to play against this newton team, we're talking from a post I saw the other day not sure if this is correct or not 55 D1 offers divided between 5 players...this is a 3A DIVISION 2 school who would want to play them 

Woodville did agree to a Week 4 game prior to realignment on the assumption that they would be in a 6 team district.  However, when the realignment came out, they were placed in a 8 team district and had to drop the Newton game as they had too many non-district games.

Cats roll 11-1 in 6 innings

Thanks!!! I owe ya one!

Thanks for pointing out the obvious

I don't think anybody has concluded that Coach Jones didn't have some part in the Wildcat's success.  By the same token, to dismiss the contributions of the man who was the head baseball coach would be equally disingenuous.
I don't doubt the ability of Coach Jones to lead the Wildcats this season.  His resume is sure to push away any doubts about that.  Heck, I was somewhat giddy that he was primed to lead by beloved Mustangs this year.  But when opportunity knocks, you have to answer and I wish Coach Jones, who was for a short time part of the Mustang family, well in all of his endeavors at Kirbyville.
I really don't have a problem with Coach Jones replacing Coach Bennett.  I have heard that there were complaints about Coach Bennett in Kirbyville and the lack of outcry from Kirbyville faithful leads me to believe that there is some validity to that claim.  Usually, winning takes care of such complaints, but I guess that is not always the case.  But if there were indeed problems with the baseball program, it is incumbent upon Coach Jones to address those problems in whatever terms he deemed necessary.  It is what athletic directors all over the state do on a regular basis.
Now, I apologize to Kirbyville folks because what I am about to say is probably gonna get them pretty hot at me, but here goes.  Kirbyville folks have to realize that a coach, regardless of where that coach was, being replaced one game into the baseball season without some obvious evidence of misconduct would raise eyebrows in the SETX community.  The fact that the coach being replaced was one game from having his team in the 3A state tournament the previous season, only to be denied by the eventual state champ, would raise them even higher.  The fact that the accomplished coach being replaced one day into the season was done so in a school district that in the last year has had: 1) the hiring of a Superintendent who is STILL currently suing to quash a freedom of information request for documents which purport to shed light on his departure from his previous school district; 2) the sudden and still unexplained departure of a previous athletic director for an assistant coaching position at a smaller neighboring school; 3) a subsequent hire of an athletic director which dissatisfied everybody, including evidently the newly hired AD who resigned less than a year into his tenure and 4) the suicide of a beloved high school principal when the purpose of the last meeting with the aforementioned superintendent was initially concealed and only revealed after intense media scrutiny, you are gonna face a lot of questions about such a dismissal.
That being said, I hope the Kirbyville baseball team has another outstanding season. For if any community needs some brightness to come their way, it is certainly Kirbyville.  It was fun covering their run last year and I, for one, look forward to it being repeated.
But I also wish Jeff Bennett and his family well.  I have not had a whole lot of contact with him, but the little I have indicates that he was a stand up caring guy who will make some school in this area very glad they added him as their head coach.

Played football and baseball under Craig back in the mid 90's during his first tenure at Kville.  The man can flat out coach.  Period!  His resume in baseball speaks for itself as well.  Just research his career at PG and see for yourself.  An old school disciplinarian that loves the student athletes.  Could always get the best out of any player regardless of their talent level.  Many of my former teammates will tell you the same.  Heck, in 8th grade back in '94 he was our Jr High HC and had us running the spread.  At that time in small school especially he was way ahead of the game and it was tough for other teams to defend.  Extremely happy for Craig and wish him nothing but the best.  Will always hold the man in very high regard.  All I know is those boys better strap it on tight.  They're in for an awakening. lol

Smoakhouse Forums is a little more eventful on this topic

The SETXsports staff is toying with the idea of putting out baseball rankings for this season.  We are looking for folks interested to be involved.
If interested, pm me.
Thanks!

Theres has been 45 to 50 apply so hoping for some quality candidates.  

Coaching changes will keep it active then. 

Looks like the band is truly "the pride of Kirbyville" again.  

I wonder if enough kids left Kirbyville that they would drop to 3a d2. They wouldn't have a choice then.
