Sic 'em Bears!

Hayden Guidry-Bridge City HS, signed with Unniversity of Louisianna Lafayette.  He will be teammates again with Bridge City's Matt Hicks. 

Congrats to him and his family.  A great deal of hard work and determination by all these young men that sign these scholarships. 

Congrats to all following their dreams and moving on to the next level.

The boys had a great time.  :)

Congratulations Guidry family!  Hayden has worked hard to earn this opportunity. 

Another Bridge City Cardinal and Sun Devil making it happen.

Congrats!  Well deserved.

Chip has to be the most generous person I have ever met. He has helped more young men follow their dream of playing baseball at the next level that would have never had the opportunity to without the the support he provides the team.
It is amazing to watch.
The organization not only teaches them baseball and provides opportunities to these young men.  They also give them the experience of staying away from home, and being more independent which prepares them for the transition to college.
Watching the boys thank Chip for all he does, is a joy to watch. They all come to him and shake his hand and the smile on his face let's you know it is all worth it to him. He takes a personal interest in each of them.
Again, the most generous personI know.

I can't say enough about what a great experience being with the Sun Devils has been for my son the past 5 years. Being challenged and playing with the best and against the best talent in the country is amazing.  It is so different from High School ball.  We can't thank Chip, Michelle, Matt Thompson, JR Bardin, Jimmy Neale, Glenn and Raissa Cechinni, and the coaches from the beginning of this 2012 group, David Huggins and Blake Justice enough for being the coaches that pushed these kids to be the best they can be. Also, the comment about once a Devil, always a Devil, is so true. The players helped, encouraged and supported each other a great deal. Even players in the same position helped each other. Truly a joy to watch them mature through the years.
Thank you just doesn't seem to be enough.

When we went through the recruiting process, we talked to Cressant several times, really liked him. Hope he found another place, seemed like a good coach.  Maybe he went back to Tulane?

Is coach Cressant still on staff? 

What a great kid!  So proud of him!  One of the hardest working kids I know.  Great things happen to those who work as hard as he does.  Keep us posted. Love hearing great things about our local guys.

I have lost track of the age groups. 
Is Major the 12 yr old All stars?
What is the Junior age group?

Baylor takes game 1 vs Arkansas 8-1

Sic 'em Bears!

Feed the Beaver!

Congrats  to all of these young men.  I am very proud to say that my son and his best friend had the pleasure of playing with them for a few years.  Well deserved to a group of fine young men.  What an honor to play for an organization that promotes young players the way the Sun Devil staff does.  It has been great 5 years.  Thanks MIF04 and Crew.  :) 

Congrats to all of  the Sun Devils!  What a pleasure to have our guys play with them.

Congrats to Gavin Cecchini being selected the #12 overall pick to the NY Mets! 
Sun Devil selected in the draft this year.

Congrats to Gavin and his family!  So proud of our Sun Devil! :)

[b]OK- Ty Hensley[/b]
Gatorade Player of the Year
Ole Miss commit and Texas Sun Devil
should be a 1st round pick as well

Bridge City had a great season.  You can't have errors and strike outs and expect to win at this stage in the play offs.  I wanted BC to pull off the win and advance, but it wasn't in the CARDS for us. 
It will be an interesting match up with Robinson and China Spring.  Would be a great game to watch.  They are in the same district and Robinson has beat CS twice.  But, they haven't seen Sterling Wynn.  So the Hollingsworth/Wynn match up will be a good one. 
From what my son said, the Robinson team played with good sportsmanship and Hollingsworth even got off the bus and came over to speak specifically to my son in the parking lot.  He and a couple of other players complimented his play and hit, and wished him the best in college and looked forward to meeting up with him again.  Not all teams are that way.  It says a lot about those players and thier character.
This is a game for High School kids.  One game, 3 games, shut outs, #1's vs #2's it doesn't matter.  These are High School kids doing the best they can.  None of them want to lose.  Every team wants to go to the State Championship.  It happened the way it happened and the best team that night won.  Period.  Do I think we could have beaten them? Sure...I always have faith in my Cardinals.  But, it is over, we can't go back now and play the game again.  I am not happy the Cardinal's season is over, but that is the game of baseball. 

Is Wynn pitching for CS?

I have heard there is not much seating at GCM stadium.  Any truth to that?

Baylor is having an awesome run.  It is fun to watch a team on streak like this.
Keep it - Sic 'em Bears!

Should be good a series. 
Sic 'em Bears!

Great job Brett Brown!  So proud of you!

Congratulations to Sterling and his family.  Best of luck to you!

Most of the local talent can be found on the "Texas" regional link.

Several Texas Sun Devils on the First Team All America.

Congrats to all.

You are right GCM, these are the boys from the Texas region, but also from digging around on the website, I see that [b]Grayson[/b] [b]Long[/b] and [b]Cameron Dishon [/b] made the [b]High-Honorable Mention team in the nation[/b]. I hope I read that right. There are a number of others from the area on that list too. Great job boys, keep up the hard work!!!

Jacob Lemoine and Matthew Menard were also on that list :)

Bridge City wins 14-3
Way to go Cardinals!
