still have it and would be willing to take offers...so just email me if you want to put an offer in

I would consider a good offer

I have commercial grade corners and tees, and all the poles to put up 14x70 batting cage frame including the heavy gauge steel tubing.  Had covered cage built and used the net with it.  I used pin pockets in concrete footing to put upright poles in but you can put the poles directly in ground or by new pin pockets.  $600 of tubing and $300 of fittings ....  I would take $450, its in great shape and was strong enough to make it through hurricane with no bending or damage!!!  PM if you are interested or reply to this with your number.  Net is not included.

solid catcher, good arm, good softball IQ, works hard. swings well for her age, bats right and slaps also.  good utility player can play midfield or outfield.  not a speedster, medium speed at best. can play outfield no problem but please refer to previous statement. plays on 14U currently, no issues at all is a young freshman, and I would like to see her facing pitchers that she will face in high school.  live in beaumont area but travel is not a problem.

Goodluck to O field in the playoffs ... see you guys next year!!

Sure hope the rain doesn't factor into this game, or any for that matter....... forecast shows wetness clear into next week.  That could make for a lot of 1 game playoffs.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1396745" timestamp="1366647722"] Schedule of games is posted up top. But, I was not aware that the Kountze/EC game was tonight. Schedule still had it for tomorrow night. [/quote] somesort of testing going on this week that has tuesday games reschedule, don't know who all it affects and when Buna plays thursday instead of tomorrow also

I know Kountze has EC at EC tonight

[quote name="Ty Cobb" post="1395261" timestamp="1366209326"] It comes down to the Buna vs OF game.  If OF wins, they are in due to the head-to-head tie breaker.  If Buna wins, OF would have to beat BC to force a play-in game. [/quote] True, Buna must beat OF to eliminate tie breaker scenario, but if Buna wins this friday also, they end 7-5 record and head to playoffs straight up.  Buna is definitely in driver seat and can control their own destiny.  6-6 tie record for OF with loss coming to them by Buna and win vs BC  forcing a playoff with Buna would mean facing Buna BC Buna in very short time period.  Tough deal there.  So yes, the Buna vs OF(district) game big big and is home for Buna who is very tough to beat at home!!!!  go coogs!

Like so many of the dads, I have spent hours and hours out at the ballparks in this generation of "select baseball" which in my eyes is just a modern version of Little League of days gone by.  While there are certainly some elite teams out there, there are many more average teams playing nowadays.  In my opinion its where the development begins to build the players of tomorrow.  With my kids in Varsity programs now, I just go to support local talent, not to mention it sure beats yardwork!!!! That being said, I watched a local team (Gladiators 12 elite) get er done in a nail bitter last night in the championship game.  1 to 1 ball game going into 8th inning.  Runners on 2nd and 3rd, and big hoss was up for Gladiators.  Opposing team gives him a pass to 1st to load bases, create force at home and try their luck with next in line.  I am thinking bunt for sure to get winning run in but they were visitor and coach thought 1 run might not win it.  That brings up DAWSON ASKEW of Buna.  Kid had only 1 hit in tournament thus far, but had been hitting it on the button allday, just to someone every darn time.  Well with two strikes and very expanded strike zone the pitcher let it fly and so did "D" (that's what his buds call him)  Bang, Boom, Pow.....GRAND SLAM oppo!!! Truth is I could probably name half the kids from both teams, and you can just tell, they will be impact players on their High School teams to come as will Dawson when he gets there(7th grade now.)  I look forward getting to watch him play for the home team in the future.....good job bud, keep working hard. 

I know a lot of people read posts but don't comment...just curious how they might vote??

Hard to keep all the math straight but if HJ keeps winning, I think they can come up with 6 wins and with that Buna, OF and HJ could preceivablily have the same record and then use tie breakers to settle the records....wow then again if Buna or OF wins out and they both can't, then the winner between them in the last game of the season would go!! pretty cool if the last game means that much....excellent way to head to the playoff!!!

[/quote] I agree, Silsbee has the best lineup in the district, more kids have good swings than any other lineup I have seen, and I have seen them all.  But let's be honest about this, [b]most (a lot) of those run rules have been scored as a result of defensive errors[/b].  Now I credit the silsbee bats with putting the ball in play with force, force that created forced errors, but I also know from 2 games I have seen: silsbee vs Buna, and Wo-s that both losing teams had numerous defensive chances to stay in the ball game.  Admittedly, Silsbee does seem to be a little out of of everyone's league across the board athletically, and shouldnt they be with the enrollment numbers year after year.  Schools like BC and even Buna and OF to a degree represent themselves nicely in my opinion with nearly 1/2 the athletes to choose from.  BC definitely has the edge right now on pitching development and silsbee does have the bats which makes for the obvious great match up. Buna will not dazzle you with pitching right now, but they will fight till the end, their bats have been lively at times, but not consistantly, and the defense has yet to form an identity, boys have been playing all over the field.  I think they will figure it out.  Sure silsbee is the favorite, but by no means untouchable as some have suggested, they may want to be careful before they just start overlooking teams.......like Buna. [/quote] Boxscore for the Buna/Silsbee and WO-S/Silsbee:                     R      H      E Buna              0      4      [b]2[/b] Silsbee          11    8      0 5 innings                     R      H      E WO-S          2      3      [b]1[/b] Silsbee        12      9      2 5 innings Not sure that 2 and 1 errors in those games created most of those runs. ::) Also, in regards to enrollment of Bridge City and Silsbee. BC's is 775, Silsbee 825. That does not compute to BC having half the athletes as Silsbee. ;) BTW, I don't see anywhere that Silsbee is looking past Buna. [/quote] if you are correct about the enrollment of BC, then I just had bad information, I thought they were 500 range,(my Bad) Buna is just over 400, I think they bulged last year at 420 I was told OF is in about the same as Buna, but I am not sure by any means? If 825 is right for silsbee then I see your point of BC / Silsbee being close to equals, last number I saw on silsbee  was mid 900's I thought.  Regardless, I compliment you guys with the quality of athletes you have year in and year out!!! I figured it might come off as a whiner comment, I was just trying to give cuddos to smaller schools for being competitive. The boxscore for Buna/silsbee is just wrong.  There were 3 errors at first base that night that each runner scored there after There were 2 errors in RF, one dropped ball, and one ball that just landed in outfield(lost in lights or not picked up off bat)catchable ball that was hit very well that ended up I am sure as a 2 run triple.  There were two balls hit that were legit hits to left field that on paper aren't errors:  but one should have been sent straight to second for a good chance at and out, and another to home that any decent catch/throw would have caught the runner at home.  Plays that in my opinion Silsbee's defense could make as well as Buna's defense normally.  There was a PB/Wp that brought runner home, and third strike/questionable hit by pitch that brought another runner home.  One of those nights where it seemed nothing went right.  Buna had defensive opportunities to stay in the game and just didnt.  Silsbee played much better ball that night and wins regardless in my opinion.  They had plenty of clean hits to do that, I just don't think they score as much as they did without the defensive help provided by buna. Silsbee vs WO-S, again about the same story, at one point it was 6-3, and then the wheels came off.  No doubt about it, silsbee was stroking the ball, but it doesn't get out of hand, if Defense made more of routine plays that they are capable of doing.  I didnt keep track like I did in Buna game, but in the last couple of innings, there were several passballs/wp that runners advanced on, not throwing ahead runners to put a stop to them, not hitting cutoffs, misplaying flyballs.......so on and so forth. Again, silsbee by all means earned their victories ....  when you hit the ball hard, good things will eventually happen.  They are swinging it well.  More impressive to me is Silsbee has limited their opponents to so few runs. Not trying to get an argument started on what are recordable errors or not, but when a ball is hit to the gap, there is not  a defense for it and you will go far if you have a bunch of those.  But when they are hit to boys with gloves and arms, then there is a chance to make plays.  There is no defense for walks, that I know about and mental mistake are preventable.
