[/quote] Actually, Dekaney is in Spring so it looks like they were looking north for the series. [/quote]Yea I knew it was in Spring , I was thinking maybe somewhere around Huntsville would have been a midway point and wouldn't have had the mad friday traffic.LOL.Good luck Warriors.

Congrats to the Warriors. I knew they would surprise some folks this year but they have played better than even I thought they would.Just a quick question for the Lions faithful.I know Price was touted as a solid pitcher all year but last night the Lions pitched 4 guys and he never toed the rubber, was he used earlier in the week? In a game the Lions had to have to have a shot at the playoffs I found that interesting.

Congrats, Thats impressive !!!!!! They are gonna be hard to replace.

Great guy and will do a great job if given the chance.

Young left hander #5 pitched for the Hornets.Pretty good ballgame to watch.Warren needed to show a little more patience at the plate.I don't think the Hardin pitcher threw over 15 pitches thru the first 3 innings.Not many errors in this one by either club, one base running blunder by the Warriors in the 6th but the kid was hustling and trying to create something so it's hard to find fault with that.This district is just about even from top to bottom.

They should check with UIL before they suit up for this, it would be a shame to lose your elgibility over this.

I wasn't there to see the game but I do know the young coach who handles the first base duties and I've never seen him get irate enough to get the hook, now his dad may be a different story LOL.This district is fun to watch this season maybe not the strength of years past but it's definitely tight.

Unfortunately not many college prospects in the area this year.Whittacre was a very good high school player but unfortunately he is probably a tweener.He isn't big enough to play the post at the college level and doesn't have the skill set to play outside. Sells was the engine that made Woodville go this season and I would probably have him in my top 10 local players this season.All that being said both were very deserving of recognition for the season they had.

Usually the young guy that coaches first is very laid back. Could be he saw something he didn't agree with and voiced his opinion. That's not all that unusual in baseball and especially in the heat of a playoff race.

Payers from the Warren community.

There will always be differences of opinion but I gotta give some props to 2 small school players.Sells from Woodville and Whittacre from Spurger were 2 of the very best small school players in the area this year.

My schedule was wrong, I thought this game was scheduled for Tuesday  ???

[quote name="warfan" post="994990" timestamp="1302318553"] Not pretty, but, a very exciting game. The Warriors just will not go away or give up.  Keep it up boys! [/quote]Sounds like an ole girlfriend LOL

There is no substitute for experience but you don't have to be the head guy to be experienced.The enthusiasm the good young coaches bring to the sport can be contagious and sometimes that all it takes to turn a program around.Looking from the outside the program at HF was better this year than it has been in a long time.For years they were pretty much an easy "W" on anyones schedule.It doesn't make sense to reassign the guy who was at the helm last yearand put a football asst. in charge.No doubt having contacts in the business can give an applicant a big advantage.

This district is crazy this season.

Congrats Warriors, big win for a club that continues to improve.

[quote name="88Warrior" post="994428" timestamp="1302215689"] The time for bragging and chest pounding is after the season when you've actually won it....keep it classy guys... [/quote]AMEN !!!! If the Warriors make the playoffs I think that would be a very successful season.I don't think anyone on this board expects them to take down the champs but it shows they are headed in the right direction.They have a good mixture of young kids and some solid seniors to keep em in line.They finally have a good young coach and have kept him in place long enough to start building a program.Don't be mislead by the score in the first game, it was extremely close until a few errors late in the game and this one will be as well.Let's throw out the first pitch and watch a good clean ballgame.

I hate to say I told ya not to overlook the Warriors so I won't.The first game was nearly dead even thru 6,Warren stranded a ton of runners and made a few costly errors late.This should be a dandy.Lets go Warriors.

You still gotta look at percentages.If you have a player with that kinda range who shoots a great percentage why would you not want him to shoot it 30 times a game??

No doubt anyone who ever played would rather win the championship.That being said the players who aren't blessed with the strong supporting cast deserve the recognition too.Jimmer may never be a great NBA player but he had as sweet a stroke as anyone who has played the college game in years.

Didn't know his name but I was impressed with his control.Whoever called his pitches did a masterful bob of keeping hitters off balance.He didn't throw real hard but the kid could pitch.

Over the years I've seen some pretty darn good small school pitchers, Beck from Woodville,Douglass from Colmesneil and McCabe from Spurger to name a few.With the season at about the mid way point I haven't seen anyone in 2-a get anywhere close to the mid 80"s.Most of the kids I've seen are throwing 78-79.The kid from Buna, lil lefthander seemed to have real good control of several pitches.I got to see Gray from Warren the other nite and he aslso had real good control of 3 pitches.No dominant hurlers on the small school scene that I've seen this year but definitely some young kids that can keep you in a game.

Amen.The potential for these kids is unreal but they need to mature phsically and mentally to be successful in the NBA.
