Heard Liberty won 18 - 9

No Liberty won 56 - 47 and Tarkington lost to Cleveland.

Yeah - this is great - kinda puts me in my place.  :-[

Truthfully - I know nothing about HF.  But I do think that Liberty will be better than last year - How much is still to be determined.  I just hope both teams perform well and no injuries.

LOL - I love it.  8)

Hey 40water - what you have agianst Liberty.  You said the HJ wouldnt be close and you were wrong  : - now HF.  By the way I thnk you will be wrong agian:

Liberty by 4 ;D

Yes you can talk all the trash you want in support of your team - I also agree that if you talk smack and your team loses be prepared to take it as well.

Howver, supporting your team is not the same as badmouthing another team that you may or may not play.  Every boy or girl that plays High School athletics does the best that they can - You don't need to make fun of them.

You might be suprised about Caldwell and Connevey - talked to Caldwell parents tonight and they said he was doing track.  Connevey might not do much in tract due to baseball but he will at least do district - gonna be kinda hard with no practice though.  Gee will have a few to compete with as will Beaty but Beaty also has Dalco (I think I misspelled his name) who is a Soph. but very fast. 

I think the boy from Shepherd will also be very fast as well.

Yes - no umpires - the catchers called the balls and strikes.

Hj-3 - Sorry but please learn to spell.     I never stated that HJ was a bad team but you and your friends seem to making a lot of excuses about how bad your team played.  Sorry but that is exactly what they are excuses.  Liberty did not play their starters the entire game either – that is why it is called a scrimmage.  You are as good as you play and if you think Liberty is terrible and you tied them – I am saying that makes you terrible as well.  For the record I do not think that Liberty is a bad team – just the opposite I think they will be good this year.

I also agree with Ty Cobb – this was a scrimmage – lets wait till the regular season and see who is the better team.  HJ may well be better then Liberty – they just failed to prove it last night. 

First – if you tie a bad team that makes you a bad team not just that you played bad.  Also, HJ did not pull their starters after the 2nd inning as you stated - you must not have been at the game.  I noted that the 2 pitchers that Liberty hit the hardest where your 2 projected starters.  Don’t make statements about teams you know nothing about and you obviously know nothing about Liberty or you would have noted that they pitched their catcher – never pitched before at the varsity level – for the 2 innings that HJ scored.

Liberty can compete if everyone that can participates and does not get hurt.

Last year Trevon Beaty did not compete in district due to injury he should win the 100 and 200 and help on the relays.  Steven Gee should also qualify in the high jump again and might win district.  Daniel Connevey is going to run tract again this year after lettering as a Freshman and then not running for the last 2 years.  He came in 4th in the 110 hurdles as a freshman and might challenge for a regional spot in that event as well as in high jump.  Cody Caldwell if he plays placed in the top 3 regularly in pre-district only to get sick at the district track meet and unable to compete.  Shawn Edwards should do well in the 200 and relays.  I don’t know about the distance runners and how they will do.

Liberty – IF EVERYONE COMPETES – has a good chance at winning district.

Prediction:

Coldspring by 10 – Splendora is more disciplined by don’t have the athletes that Coldspring has.  Only chance Splendora is to get hot from the 3-point line – which they can.

Cleveland by 15 – Identical as above just change the teams.

Liberty and Shepherd – your call.  Liberty has lost its motivation to play and was never very disciplined anyway.  Just a shame that the 2 seniors – Connevey and Edwards -deserved a better season than this as they can play for anybody they just don’t have any supporting cast.  Might be the night for Shepherd to get its first district win. :'(

Sorry was there but did'nt write the score down.

Liberty won by about 18.

They beat Shepard tonight by 18.  They were on a 7 game losing streak.  They are currently 10 – 13 – still better then the last several years.  They are a decent team that seems to self destruct on a regular basis.

Tarkington is going to have to prove themsleves to me - they are a decent team prior to district every year then Collapse when district starts.  They have done this in football and basketball.  If you compare the teams that Liberty and Tarkington have played the scores are pretty close to the same - and Liberty is picked dead last or thereabouts.  I think is will be:

Coldsprings - though they only beat Anahuac by 4 and Liberty beat them by 30

Splendora

Cleveland

Just a quick question - Who votes on these players and where can I see the voting totals.  Looks like a good list just wondering.

Liberty lost to Conroe Oakridge like 54 - 27 - I think they were an average 5A team.  Liberty can make some noise if they play their offense and defense and not convert to street ball.  Unfortunately they normally do not run their offense well.  They seem to break apart at key points in the game.  Decent talent just not well disciplined. And they turn the ball over way too much.

Tyler George and Josh White will be the best players on the Liberty Squad this year.  But don't count Daniel Connevey out - He batted over .440 in non-district and over .350 in district games.  He did miss a few fly balls early in the season last year due to the fact he had never played outfield before - had always pleyed 1st base.
