[quote name="Burkeville_#70" post="1013534" timestamp="1306162243"] Who do u think will win  the @A texas state baseball championship ??? My money is on CH... I saw them play Buna and this team is legit [/quote] Brock

Game 1 - Friday, 7pm @ Montgomery High School Game 2 - Saturday, 2pm @ Montgomery High School Game 3 - 30 minutes after game 2 if needed.

Matt Smith pitches a complete game gem!

[quote name="HSB&Rangers" post="1011089" timestamp="1305412290"] Never saw them making it this far. Great run for the Jacks [/quote] Don't feel bad "Rangers", very few people did. Jacks are playing good ball right now. They played very well against Athens, and pretty good against Madisonville. Matt Smith thru 13.67 playoff innings has an ERA of 1. Bats have been timely, and so far there has been no quit in this team. They advanced today to the quarterfinal round for the first time in 20 years. Next week they take on district rival Hudson in a one game showdown. In that scenario, anything can happen. If the Jacks can get past the Hornets, it will be the deepest the school has ever advanced in the baseball playoffs. Smith has always pitched well against them, beating them at the JV level, and last year on the varsity. This year they beat Smith 2-0, and both runs were unearned. It should be a hard fought game, and a heck of a lot of fun.

Diboll scores 8 runs in the second inning to take control of the game, and advance to the quarterfinal round for a backyard brawl with the Hudson Hornets.

Jacks score 1 in bottom of 7th to take 1-0 series lead. Game 2 at New Caney starting at 2pm Saturday afternoon.

It was reported that this game would be played in Trinity, but it is actually being played in New Caney at Adam Dunn Park. Game 1 - Friday night at 7:00 Game 2 - Saturday at 2:00 Game 3 if needed will start 30 minutes after game 2 ends.

[quote name="Year of the Pat!" post="1007769" timestamp="1304878115"] Is that Lufkin/Klien Collins series correct? [/quote] it is correct I would say Diboll over Athens has to be considered an upset. Not many were giving the Jacks much of a chance to even get to the playoffs, much less sweep anybody when they get there. I consider Jasper's loss an upset. I agree that they aren't as strong as years past, but I believe they go best of 3 and they are probably still playing.

Jacks score 3 in bottom of 7th to advance.

[/quote] Diboll wins 4-1. Matt Smith pitches complete game throwing 74 pitches thru 7 innings. [/quote] Is it a 1 gamer or best of 3? [/quote]Best of 3. Game 2 is tomorrow night at 7 back in Tatum.

I will update scores for this game tonight for all 3A-18 fans. Game time from Tatum is 7:00

[quote name="BrenhamFan" post="1004871" timestamp="1304356434"] Let the games begin! [/quote] Diboll will play Athens in a 3 game set starting Thursday at 7pm in Tatum. Game 2 will be Friday night at 7. If needed, game 3 will be Saturday night at 7.

[quote name="AstrosDawg07" post="1003990" timestamp="1304134027"] Diboll will face Athens. Wonder where they might play this one.   [/quote] They will confirm the field today, but the tentative location is in Tatum. Driller Park, and Angelina has been discussed, but if the field is in great shape, Tatum will be the location. Also, a tip of the hat to Kirbyville. This was a hard fought baseball game, with highs ( and lows) by both teams. Both Jones and Smith pitched awesome ball games. It was a shame that either school had to lose.

[quote name="liftedpowerstroke" post="1003873" timestamp="1304127350"] Solo Homerun by #9 K. Jones, then a huge  3 run Homerun by #10 Holden Holsenback...5-4 Kirbyville [/quote] Diboll wins 6-5 when Matt Smith doubles. Two runs score, one on an over throw at third. Heck of a dogfight by both teams.

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="1003669" timestamp="1304110676"] 18-3A game from Diboll at 7:00 p.m. Third place in 18-3A in on the line! [/quote] 4-1 Diboll top 6

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="1003669" timestamp="1304110676"] 18-3A game from Diboll at 7:00 p.m. Third place in 18-3A in on the line! [/quote]0-0 after 1

[quote name="Burkeville_#70" post="1002826" timestamp="1303917866"] Best of luck to both teams but Im gonna say Kville wins this one by 4+ [/quote] i am not so sure about that prediction since Diboll did beat them on their home field. I do think it will be a heck of a game. Whoever minimizes the walks and errors will win. I also think that whoever wins has a good chance to go a couple of rounds deep in the playoffs. Just my opinion of course!

The playoffs really begin for Diboll and Kirbyville Friday night as the winner of their game goes to the playoffs, and the loser stays home. That game should be a great one for the final representative from 3A-18. What other match ups are out there (if any) that have the same "winner take all" situation?
