I watched this game last night with mixed emotions, happy for the victory but sad to realize this will probably be the last time these guys will all be on the field together. This group of Seniors from both schools have been playing ball together since they were 7 years old. Some years they were separated and competed against one another while other years they played on the same team. It has been a great ride to say the least and a lot of fun seeing these young men grow up and succeed not only in baseball but life in general. For me personally I gained a lot of really good friends throughout this time and I consider myself fortunate for that every day. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for these young men. To all my friends from Silsbee, it's been a blast and I wish you nothing but the best down the road. To Tyler Powell, Colby Leblanc, Jordan Gore, Brayden Griffin, and Matthew Hartman I hope you guys have another great run in the playoffs and continue your success in everything you do. To my Senior guys from BC that played with us (Blaine Mcelduff, Keaton Langston and Hunter Uzzle) I hope for a long playoff run as well and a great life after baseball. Time sure flies and it seems like we just got started.

Lots of good baseball played right here..

P.S.
I just realized we may possibly get 1 more game........

3A Region Finals!! Good Luck Fellas!!

Best game I have seen JM pitch ever .... job well done.  Way to trust your catcher and throw your pitches.  Best game I have seen behind the plate as well from Jacob, so many effortless blocks with runners in critical spots. I am very proud of both you guys!!

Dang! And to think I wasted some perfectly good sarcasm only to get a reply from Capt. Obvious.

BC knows Buna is better than their record thus far. Nobody is taking the Cougars lightly. Anyone who thinks differently needs to have their head examined. Predictions of scores serve no purpose, predicting a good game is a much better option. First time around these 2 played a very entertaining game, no reason to think the game Friday will be any different.

Isn't this the team that broke up because the coach quit mid season last year?  Is the same person trying to start it back up now, if so how long does he plan to play half the season or the whole season?  hard to commit to a team when you don't know how long they will last.  Daddy ball live and well even at this age.

It was a very good early season test for both.  Other than BC, Buna hasn't really been tested this preseason from anybody on the mound.  I realize Silsbee was the favorite, they definitely earned their ranking.  It was a great game to watch, both made their mistakes, both capitalized on the other's mistakes, and both made some terrific plays.  Very similar to last year's battle @ Buna between same two teams, this time Buna came up on top.  This time, Buna was the better team.  Games like these only make both teams stronger and helps one or both get ready for post-season.  My hope is Buna will be in that mix this year.  Good job boys!!
