Why gripe? He didnt even pick a coach of the year at all lol

For the first time in over a decade im not in charge of putting together one of these teams so let me explain how i at least went about it.

First off alot of my picks were done by the eye test. You can show me a kid hit .450 but if i watched him and another player at the same position all year i could still go with another selection due to just liking how the second guy played the game and what he meant to his team. Stats show a lot but they arent everything.
Second there is not a care to me what level a kids team plays in. Mainly because the kid certainly has no say in that. I do though look at this for example (and im making this example up just to show it better) say a batter only bats .300 but was in a tough district loaded with future college pitchers is in running for mvp against a guy who hit .425 in a very weak district. Then i look at other varibles and the first could easily be my pick.

I never cared about all district picks when making my teams. Some of these all district team selections are made with agendas. I tried like i said to put who i thought were best players together. That being said, i could have been wrong but it was my thoughts. And i never made excuses for.my teams. I figure i watched enough games each year to have enough knowledge to select an honor team. Does it make it perfect? Nope

I stuck to only one selection at each position. This made it easy and if i selected 4 first team pitchers instead of just the 1 then criticism and fairness could come into play.

So basically i went with my gut, let stats only be a guide, kept it simple and didnt apologize for giving an opinion since i was paid to do so. There were plenty of times i hated to leave a kid off but in the end there cant be a ribbon for everyone and to my knowledge kids left off do not suffer any illnesses or lose scholarships.

As for as MVPs i always first go to the district champion. If that team has a clear cut stud on their team i pick them. He was best player on best team. If no clear stud on title team then i might look around and find who was best player around but 95% of time it was best teams best player
Gary does a great job so when i saw that list i know he put it out with at least knowing what hes talking about.

Sorry so long on basically nothing lol. Just giving my thoughts

This young man ran a 20.76 to win the state 200 and also set the best time in the nation for this year. Dauphine, whose committed to Texas Tech,.is a deserving young man who works extremely hard.
Applaud this state champion if you will.

Congrats to UH sophomore and BC grad Jake Lemoine for being selected to pitch for the collegiate national baseball team. What a great honor.
 
The last Cougar pitcher to pitch for team USA??? Nederland graduate Brad Sullivan who went 7-0 against international teams.

This is the present and over the last what?, 3 years, nobody has beat them in 20-4A. Now will they be the most talented team next year? Probably not but until someone finally breaks through and beats them, the Bulldogs are the kings.

I was asked about 204a the other night and my response was, until they are beaten its nederlands district.

I didnt say they would because they obviously didnt. What im saying is wos is a HS when it comes to recruiting that colleges like to have on their good side. UT might visit woodville once in a while but wos, north shore and those types hear from ut and others regularly

Ummm no matter this convo or not ut wouldnt like having a terrible relationship with wos. They pump out D1 guys every year and the last one they sent to UT just won a super bowl and is one of the top 5 defensive players in nfl. Thats not including all earl did at UT. WOS is one of those schools i bet UT coaches call each year just to see who they have

Name it for jerry levias. Done. End of story. Do it.

Kudos. Greater man than he is a coach and that says a whole heck of a lot.

Here was my way of congratulating Coach Robbins

I do agree with you. Lets just hope everyone sees it in a logical way.

Problem in Texas is if you burn a bridge with WO-S, there are going to be a lot more fires burning around the state. Those guys talk a lot more than we all probably think they do.

You don't want to burn bridges with HS coaches in this state, period, and if in fact Strong is doing that then he wont be at UT very long that's for damn sure.
 
 
The thing about Shaw to me is that he didn't see the field alot last season from what I saw, maybe WO-S had a better player in his position, WO-S is 3X or more a step above playing for Center HS. Hopefully he balls out this year. And if Strong keeps pulling schollys you know who will benefit from it: not so much A&M but Texas Tech and Baylor will. Watch.

But I do agree, PN-G and Central seem to be pretty stacked going into next year

First 21-5A win for Titans, Brook now 0-5

Those guys with their hands crossed need to get busy! Come on man LOL
