Baseball is such a game of repetition it's hard to blame the kids or the coaches.The kids have to get in a flow and they simply can't do that when they are playing 3 games in 3 days and having to move games to other clubs parks.Howell is an ace no doubt but they have some other kids that aren't that far away.

Cngrats guys !!! Wish I would have been in town to watch this one !!!

Thanks for the feedback.

I'd rather see a 1-0 game than I had an 11-10 affair.

I was very skeptical about him coming out of high school. Never doubted his baskeball skills but his attitude on the court.He has grown up in Austin which is a credit to both he and Coach Barnes.I'm sure he has a ton of folks advising him but I hope he stays at UT one more season.If he improves as much this off season as he did last off season his draft status would definitely improve.UT produces some great NBA players but they have also had some recently who came out to early. Just curious what his degree field is? A diploma from the 40 acres could open some doors off the hardwood.

Who sells the Nitro locally ??

Deweyville and EC both have good catchers.

Congrats guys.

I have been in bass boats for the past 35 years but I am considering a 22 ft center console for my retirement boat. I have found a really clean 2201 Mako. How durable are these boats and what kind of rough water ride can I expect ? Any feed back will be appreciated.

[/quote]I couldn't help but notice yourscreen name.If you are close to Silsbee there is a great mechanic there.Superior Marine, just north of Ben D Smith Rd .Roy Storms is his name and he's done my work for years.

[quote name="eagleswoodville#1" post="1198637" timestamp="1331996949"] Warren better get on top of things if they expect to even make the playoffs, much less contend for a district title. [/quote]They definitely need to right the ship.This club has never had dominant pitching, they win with defense,aggresive play on the bases and hitting the ball.Right now they seem to be playing a little tenatively.Fortunately that can be corrected but the kids will be the ones that have to step up and do it.

[quote name="Franchiseball" post="1198676" timestamp="1332006644"] What happened to the coach [/quote]I hear he has diverticulitous (not sure about that spelling) but the team does definitely seem to miss his presence.

Fraklin did a good job on the mound tonight keeping the Warren bats off balance.The error filled 2nd was the undoing for the Warriors tonight.These kids are usually money in the field but 3 errors in one inning won't give you a chance to win.Keep your head up and go get the next one.Congrats to the Coogs on the "W".

Buna is still the king of the hill in 24aa.They deserve that recognition after winning the title for many years.Warren still has a very key piece of their team sidelined with injury which makes their record pretty impressive.They played a pretty good Central Pollock squad last week and had an earlier game against Livingston rained out.I look for a good game tomorrow night in Buna.

[quote name="eagleswoodville#1" post="1196422" timestamp="1331605532"] Buna wins, 9-6 [/quote]Would that be a real win ????

You will always have people who question the losing coach but when your best player is 1-16 you just aren't going to win many at ANY level of play.Basketball is a funny game so I wouldn't go out on a limb and say anyone will be a shoe in for a regional championship next year.These are teen age kids and sometimes the unexplained turnover or poor shooting nights just happen.It doesn't have to have an explanation, it just happens.

I didn't get a chance to watch this years tournament but in years past I got to watch Kountze more than I would have liked.The Busby's and Powell"s played real basketball.

Basketball is a funny game. As you get deeper into the playoffs the teams become more disciplined allowing teams like Argyle to advance.They have been playing this type ball for years and simply don't beat themselves.Give them their due,they did what they had to do to win it,while LeVega who beat 2 very good teams on back to back nights didn't even make the finals. It's been my experience that the beer garden is full of fans and coaches every year who were good enough to win the title.That's why you play the game.

[quote name="chupacabra" post="1194485" timestamp="1331249075"] It is gonna feel so good when Buna finally shuts you Warren and Kountze fans up... [/quote]Did I miss something ? I haven't seen the Kountze or Warren fans say much.Buna and Warren split their series last year so it should be a good ball game.

Good job guys!!

They may not of had enough players left to make an honorable mention team.There is nothing wrong with not being good enough to make all district.Get back to the days when you had an MVP and an Off and Def player of the year plus 5 -1st teamers and 5- 2nd teamers.Tell everyone else to get in the gym and go to work in the off season.There seems to now be a literaL meaning to "ALL DISTRICT".

I don't know what they have to go with him but the tall right hander from Deweyville is as good as anybody I've seen in this district for several years.On any given night he could beat anyone in the district.

[quote name="SteelerCzy" post="1192865" timestamp="1331000398"] I enjoyed the game, two very good teams. Not sure of the line score for Warren pitcher but J. Howell for Dville had 14 k's gave up 1 hit and both runs were unearned. Hate to waste a performance like that but gotta give Warriors credit for making the plays. Good luck rest of year to both teams. [/quote]Very well pitched game on both sides tonight.The kid from Deweyville has to be about as good as there is in this district.He threw a one hitter and I think the Watts boy gave up 2 hits.Fun game to watch.Congrats Warriors on the win.

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="1192845" timestamp="1330999835"] Thanks, Steeler! [/quote]Culd ya change the thread title.Warren actually won this one 2-0.

[quote name="setxslam" post="1191888" timestamp="1330826483"] Anything can happen in the playoffs.  Waco LV is going to State, and I believe they might've finished third in 21-3A.  Ah, well, there it is.  Heckuva year.  That's a great thing about high school basketball: the season always ends with terrible sadness or ultimate joy and, either way, you can't wait for it to start all over again. [/quote]While losing games like this are always hard to take, you have to remember what it takes to get to this stage. The Hawks consistantly perform at this level and mediocrity just isn't accepted. The record this year was nothing short of amazing. Choke??? You gotta be kiddin me.Two good teams in a one possession game is simply the way the game is meant to be played.Give props to both clubs on a super ballgame and can't wait until next year.
