  1. Yes this district is tough there are always kids that are 90 and above. I have seen as many 5 kids throwing this hard on 4 different teams. I figured harmony was pretty good this year when I seen them playing in the Tyler tournament. You can always tell what kind of team a coach has when you see his schedule. Good team good schedule bad team bad schedule.

  2. I agree they need it before district starts kid from central heights will approach 95 himself not sure the harmony tournament will help much no one in that tournament is a baseball power. I even see where harmony will go to Tyler and play in a 5 and 6a tournament there .  That is where you get better not by playing teams that you run rule

  3. Huntington has athletes they could be as competitive as Buna, to do this you will have to ban FFA and tear down all roping arenas in the district. This is a community choice. If you spend any time there and talk to people in the community you will figure this out very quickly. No one cares that they don't win.

  4. Big Sandy is loaded they should make a appearance in the state title game. I hear Hendrix has hit 93 this fall and Holmes 91 . Both Holmes brothers could start anywhere they play. and they have a freshman Williams that will help low 80s. Hendrix and Holmes have signed already to play college ball.

  5. No I do not pretend to know more than the doctor. I have been privelaged to meet many great pitching coaches and trainers one Mr Brent Strom actually taught my son how to properly throw a curve ball in which he says is what ruins highschool pitchers. Check out Nolan Ryan's thoughts on pitch counts. The great Jim Gillian also discouraged kids from throwing curve balls before they start shaving. You have to keep in mind Dr Andrews is the best in his field doing surgery and writing books.

  6. I would love to see a highschool coach somewhere say,that we will no longer play select ball players on our varsity team. This would show that select baseball and professional lessons were a waste of time and money . The only team select players would be eligible for would be is Jv.  Maybe someone complaining about select can do this.

  7. You don't have to have facilities like Carthage or the woodlands but you do need nice upgrades jasper PNG silsbee Sabine pass evadale woodville all are new or fairly new facilities and do benefit from kids transferring from neighboring schools   And kids going to live with grandparents for this reason.schools like Newton and WOS have been immune but jasper could change newtons winning tradition kids will look around and want to leave for greener pastures  LCM could do the same to WOS. Remember the term if you build it they will come.
