Woodville might actually be the only team to beat four ranked opponents, make the playoffs, and NOT get a single vote on these rankings. Lol

Hmmm a pleasant surprise. Woodville might have a shot at that second spot after all. Keep it up Eagles!

[quote name="txtitan72" post="1358278" timestamp="1356234367"] Well I am going to have to disagree you on the top picks with Woodville have two key players hurt it is going to be hard for them to beat Warren. I don't see Hickman getting MVP either. [/quote] Hickman got MVP in the tougher district they were in last year. Don't doubt him on that. The two injuries are improving greatly. One is 100% going to be back for the season and the other is about 85% right now.They suffered the same injury to different arms. I can respect the disagreements and all of the replies are valid. It should be an interesting run. Anything can happen with tho rivalry. And yes Woodville graduated five, that's true. But you also must consider that only two got any substantial playing time. They lost two starters. Both of which have been filled by good players. They return all but one on the infield, and two of three in the outfield(even though, IMO, the replacement is better than the one from last year). Their WHOLE pitching staff is back. Should be great. Anything can happen with these two teams. 

I know Woodville won in OT. Didn't get a score though.

[quote name="D-WillrUnninTRAINS" post="1353100" timestamp="1355175429"] To me honestly Dylan Williams is the better Pitcher but i would like to see how everyone else rates these to athletes. [/quote] Hmmm I wonder why you think that? lol shocker there.

[quote name="bullsonparade" post="1357009" timestamp="1355966089"] Williams is better in my opinion. Williams has better control and better off-speed stuff.[b] Just because you throw 90+ does not make you a good pitcher.[/b] The times that I saw Howell throw last year I was not really that impressed. Maybe I saw him on off games. But anyhow thats my opinion. [/quote] I don't believe he throws 90+. But, if thats true, then yes, on the 2A level, it does give a huge advantage.

This district is gonna see the high end and the low end of the 2A picture in this region. With Corrigan-Camden, Hemphill, Kirbyville, Newton, Warren, and Woodville, this district will see some of the bottom of the pile along with returning two of the most dangerous 2A baseball teams in SETX. I'm seeing the district turning into an arms race between Woodville and Warren, although Hemphill and even a scrappy, young Kirbyville squad should compete. There's just too much talent on those two squads. I think, for either team, anything short of a district championship will be a disappointment. And noone can just push aside the bad blood that comes along with this heated in-county rivalry. Should be interesting to watch. As for my picks, here they are. 1. Woodville (9-1) 1 loss to Warren, @Warren 2. Warren (8-2) 1 loss to Woodville, 1 loss to Hemphill 3. Hemphill (7-3) 2 losses to Woodville, 1 loss to Warren 4. Kirbyville (4-6) 2 losses to each above team 5. Corrigan (1-9) 2 losses to each above, 1 loss to Newton 6. Newton (1-9) 1 win over Corrigan, 2 losses to all others Woodville: -My reasoning for them being tops in this district is a couple different factors. When you look at this year's Eagle squad, you see experience and a higher level of playing than any other team in this district. You see the homeruns, the no-hitters, the all-state talent, and a coach that has been apart of a state championship team and won more playoff games as a coach(head or assistant) than all the other coaches in this district combined. This will be a tough district run, but in the end I think the experience and returning 6 all-district and 1 all-state starter will pay off for the Eagles. Warren: -This was a tough decision putting the Warriors second. My reasoning behing this was the fact that I dont see a championship level of play in the Warriors. When you look at them, you see alot of good players that play good fundamental, team baseball. Which is great, dont get me wrong. But when you look at championship caliber teams, you usually(not always) have that superstar or a legendary head coach. The Warriors have a solid line-up and will be a tough match for any team in this region, which is why I think they split with Woodville. But I also think that the lack of that one person to carry the team through a tough game will hurt them against either Hemphill or Kirbyville. But the top two could go either way IMO. Hemphill: -Hemphill is always tough. They return several starters and all-district players, including sophomore phenom Justin Twine. Twine will, IMO, be the only exceptional talent on the Hornets roster this year. They look alot like Warren, only not as consistent across the board. But, I think Twine's ability to carry this team will allow them to beat the Warriors once and clinch that third playoff spot in this tough district. Kirbyville: -I look for Kirbyville to be young and scrappy. They'll win the games they're supposed to, but unfortuantely in a district with teams like the teams that the Wildcats will be facing, young and scrappy doesn't win the games you arent supposed to win, much less a championship. But maybe they will surprise me. Hopefully so. Good luck Wildcats. Corrigan-Camden: -I look for the Bulldogs to take a downhill slope away from what the rest of the district seems to be doing. Corrigan was struggling last year and seem to have lost several key players according to the Bulldog faithful i've talked to recently. I look for them to be down and even possibly lose one to an improved Newton team. This might be a re-building year for them. But I hope they work hard and surprise alot of people. Newton: -I look for the Eagles to be improved, but sadly, still Newton. This steriotypical football high school will take an uphill swing, but it will take a few years to gain any momentum in baseball for the Eagles. But, I do see them defeating Corrigan-Camden one time in Newton. The kids down in Newton play hard and dont like to get beat at all, in any sport. They're always fun to watch and seem to have passion in every sport they play. [b]District MVP:[/b] Torin Hickman, C, [b]Woodville[/b] [b]Offensive MVP:[/b] Justin Twine, SS, [b]Hemphill[/b] [b]Defensive MVP:[/b] Kolton Perfect, SS, [b]Warren[/b] These last ones are just for fun. I recognize its way too early for those, but just wanted to throw those out. lol

Howell.

Woodville has beaten Sabine Pass, Kirbyville, and Leggett. Seems a little off to me that they haven't even gotten a vote up to this point. Oh well. They play Colmesneil on Thursday in their tourney. Guess we will have to beat them too. The same Colmesneil team that lost to GSF? Come on now.

Colmesneil beat Corrigan, 51-49. 7'1" put up 38 from what I was told.

This late in the season, home-field advantage doesn't matter much. Although I seriously doubt any of these class 2A teams will put 5000 on either side. Considering the average combined attendance for the class 2A state CHAMPIONSHIP games is only around 6500. And that's including coaches that attend and fans from around the state. Now about the game. "cock"...you're very naive and not too bright if you are overlooking this Newton team. Marion, Lago Vista, and Hallettsville?? And we've played chumps? Lol 28, 24, and 19. Yoe's margins of victory in the playoffs. 51, 41, and 36. Newton's margins of victory in the playoffs. In fact, Newton scored more points in their lowest scoring game than Yoe scored in their highest. Yoe is a good football team. But I hope everyone in Cameron has the same attitude you do. If that's true, then there will be a lot of unhappy Yoemen driving back to Cameron Friday night. Newton 63 Cameron Yoe 35

To this point he hasn't been let go. Just trying to get a feel as to the thoughts out there.

Will you share your thoughts as to why?

Not a new topic, but, what's the general consensus regarding the Woodville FB coach/AD?

I think this will be a very physical game and some-one said Franklin ran behind #68 nearly all the time so that lineman must be pretty good also. I don't want another triple overtime game either. Newton is good but not 10 times better than the Newton team that played Franklin last time. I think they are better but just better. JMHO [/quote] I disagree. Newton is a LOT better team than the one that went 3OT with Franklin last time. Not just better. This Newton team is the best one since the '98 team in my opinion. Better than the 2004 finalist and better than 2005 state champion. But they still have to play each game hard and one at a time. Can't look past any team. [/quote] Very well said. Since he said it all....straight to my prediction. Newton 63 Franklin 12

[quote name="Fishingislife" post="1349661" timestamp="1354722271"] I heard Coldspring replace Newton in this tournament [/quote] Looks like it. I'm giving the tourney to them in this case. Woodville/Buna/Kirbyville/Leggett will compete well though IMO.

Wow. Not often you score 35 points and get beat by 50. Sensational performance. Can't wait to see Newton at Jerryworld in about 3 weeks.

Is this true??

[quote name="longball24" post="1320493" timestamp="1352119186"] Woodville will struggle to many injuries that require surgery Daniels and Hickman Shoulder Surgery. [/quote] Lets clarify. It's the younger Hickman. Not the all-state catcher/district MVP Hickman. And they still have Bullock, Dungan, Jackson, Daniels will play first and e able to bat and run. We will kiss his pitching a lot. But his bat is also a valuable asset. Infield will be solid this year. All starters besides first returning; which has forcibly been replaced due to current circumstances. Lol Woodville will be fine. They're on the uphill swing with that program.

Ummm Mart. Mart 41 WS 24
