According to 22-4A BASBALL rules, they play everything off. : First place, second, third. I even think the rest of the teams that don't qualify for the playoffs will play games to determine who is 4th, 5th, 6th, .......... ;D
My prediction, the Orange County neighbors look out for each other, Vidor intentionally walks in the winning run, LCM wins 3-2, Nederland stays home. ;D
IMO, LCM should have cllinched after tonight. With a one game lead over Nederland with one game to play, and also having swept the series with Nederland, the Bears could lose to Vidor and still be in because of the head to head advantage LCM has over Nederland. But like the late John Belushi used to say " But nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!" 22-4A has this lame tie breaker. Go figure.
That clinches a playoff spot for Vidor. Now it's down to LCM and Nederland. The question now is, does Vidor take it easy Friday night against LCM and not take any risks with their starting pitchers? This could spell doom for Nederland.
Definately you'lls jr. high should be able to handle a cupcake predistrict schedule like that.
Silsbee is no cupcake. Your Bucs would get it handed to them by the Tigers.
You are the only one that made the sarcastic remark about going ahead and declaring them champs. No one else did, therefore I could not "challenge" them.
Your sarcastic comment called for one in return. Besides, I did not offer any advice, but I will if you would like.
I don't think the topic raises any dandruff. But it seemed to raise yours with you sarcastic comment about going ahead and awarding the district title to Silsbee.
As for the UIL, do you want me to check with them to see if they will allow YOU to declare them district champs or if they will approve of them being district champs if they win it on the court?
I don't think anyone is saying they WILL win district. Saying one is the favorite is not saying they will win it. HJ has been declared the favorite before, nothing to get your dandruff up about.
But if you want to go ahead and declare Silsbee the district champs, go right ahead.
Silsbee will be returning 3 starters, Robinson, Walters, and Stallworth. But you could make an argument that they are returning 4 starters as Thomas did start some this past season. Returning a 1st team all stater in Robinson, along with "3" other starters to go with a solid bench, Silsbee should be the favorite to win district and advance deep into the playoffs. Another trip to Austin is not out of the question.
It's really a shame. All that talent, probably will be wasted unless something drastic happens with this kid's attitude and mental capacity. Like DickV said, he just don't get it! Also correct in stating that UT isn't offering anymore, got that from a very reliable source. Word is that lot's of the bigger schools are backing away from Brown, but some of the smaller one's are still inquiring.
I agree, I don't consider this bashing.
