We kinda got sidetracked at the beginning of the week with the "hurricane" and all. We will have everything finalized by Sunday. Everyone will hear from us by the end of Sunday. We are chomping at the bit to get this rolling. The amount of kids that showed interest in us and the talent they bring with them has us excited. Look to be hearing from us Sunday evening.

Please try to be there 30 minutes early to check in. All checking in will be done inside Hitter's Inc. See everyone Saturday.

from what i understand several of the usual usssa parks are going to this. i know Ron Mathis is now the State director for nations instead of USSSA. Still dont know what prompted this change by Mathis. Gonna be interesting to see how all this shakes out.

Slade Green will be coaching the 8 yr. olds. We havent decided on a 7 yr. old coach yet.

Congratulations. Troy and Rodney Scroggs do a great job coaching these guys. Good luck this next week at the World Series.

Our 9's and 10's are heading to Dallas for the AAYBA World Series this weekend and our 7's and 8's will be playing the USSSA World Series held in Sulphur. Good luck to all our guys, have a safe trip, and just remember play hard no matter what.

Why change? That's one of the most successful programs in the area. But since half the players in the organization are from all over the golden triangle it doesnt have as much to do with BC as you think.

Don't forget about us!!! Was curious if our name is arrogant or not?

This was the second time the season two of our teams played each other for a championship. This game was actually 6-0 and a scoreless tie until the 5th. Great pitching and defense by both teams. They'll be going at it again this weekend at Ford Park as well as our other 5 teams.

Just to add little to what "catdog" said. Along with Josh Gray our other instructors include Roderick Robertson, Jessie Floyd, William Delage, and Josh Stinson. That's around 25 years of professional baseball experience at the students disposal. We also will have a lighted instruction field behind the academy. Chrystal Lundy is our softball instructor. She will offer instruction on all phases the game. We will start private lessons this week with the grand opening Feb. 16th. If you would like info on lessons you can pm me here and I will get the information you requested.

The Big Red Machine will be holding tryouts for the upcoming Spring season. We offer teams ranging in age from 7yr. old thru 12yr. old. Construction on our 11,000 sq. ft. indoor practice facility is almost complete. For those interested in joining our organization please call for tryout schedule and times for the age group you're interested in. Ronnie Shugart 720-9297 886-9435

The Big Red Machine finished 3rd this past week at the USSSA 10AAA World Series held in Southaven,MS. The tournament had 52 teams from across the nation. They posted a 7-2 record for the week losing the semi-final game 8-6 in 9 innngs to the Arkansas Scorpions. Highlights throughout the week included a walk off homer, a 26 run 21 hit attack, and the dramatic semi-final loss. Outstanding pitching, hitting, and defense was displayed by everyone on the team. We hit 6 bombs during the tournament. Chase Shugart had 3, Devon Roedahl 2, and Tanner Doiron with a grand slam. Making All-World was Devon, Tanner, and Shane Selman. At one point Shane had 13 consecutive hits. Ever player could have easily been chosen All-World. The rest of the team includes Bryce Carey, Kolten Bergeron, Matthew Kress, Logan New, Blake Pruett, Ryne Shugart, Jonah watts, and Allonte Wingate. What a year!! 48 wins, 10 tournament titles including the State tournament and a 3rd place finish at the World Series.

Goober Anderson hands down the best to ever pitch in High School for BC. Still holds most school records,if not all, for every pitching category. In '85 set State record for k's in a playoff game(19 I think).

3. Bridge City- Lost some strong players but still have Stringer and Meeks, Jackson will need someone very good behind him in the lineup or he will never see a good pitch. Look out for a Freshman!!! should start at SS. Dishon

The two day game against WO-S in '96. Had them on the ropes till Mother Nature took over.
