Jose Silva went the distance all 7 innings, striking out all 3 in the bot of the 7th

GCM wins 2-1.

The Patriots and Ganders square off tonight at 7pm at Lee.  Pats got the better of Lee last time with a 12-6 victory.  You can throw records out the window, when Baytown schools face each other you never know what will happen.

I hope to see a Patriots team that is improving through out this second half on to a long run in the playoffs. 

Anyone heard anything on this one.  Their record might not show it but Lee has played teams tough.

Goose Creek Memorial Patriots Varsity beat Texas City 2-1 Tuesday behind both the bat and the arm of Dennis Cooper.

Cooper got a hit in each of his two at bats. He singled in the first and third innings.

Cooper kept contact to a minimum, striking out six Texas City batters. Cooper allowed one earned run on six hits and no walks over seven innings.

Brigham Rushing helped Goose Creek Memorial Patriots Varsity pull ahead for the duration in the sixth inning. With the score tied at one, Rushing came to the plate and singled, scoring Malik Michel.

The bottom of the first saw Goose Creek Memorial Patriots Varsity take an early lead, 1-0. Goose Creek Memorial Patriots Varsity's rally started when Chase Ball doubled. A passed ball then moved Ball from second to third.

In the sixth inning, Texas City pushed across its only run of the day on an RBI double by Brett Hinson.

I think Cooper has figured it out, he is awesome to watch when he is on.

We are playing some solid ball at times.  I hope we forget about the previous win and focus on the 7 innings that day.  Then we are fairly dangerous.  Pretty crazy to think we started 0-3 too, now to be 15-4.

Keep it up boys, GO PATRIOTS!!!

They finish district on Thurs @ 5pm vs Santa Fe @ home.  Then they start the 2nd round on Tues @ home vs Texas City.

Anyone know what the standings are for the district.

It was a great team effort by the boys.  GCM came out pretty fired up compared to Fwood.  Liked that i saw some fire from the guys.  It was actually 4-3 at one point with Fwood having 3 runs off 1 hit.  Im glad the guys bowed their neck and executed down the stretch.  Now we have 4-0 Galveston Ball at home on Friday.  It would be nice to see some of the student body come out and support the guys, but either way i think they will be ready.  Go Pats!!!

Just want to give a shout out to Coach Thames and his Patriot players.  Started the year 0-3 and have gone 12-1 since then.  Only lost the 4 games by a total of 6 runs too.  Keep up the good work, should get a good test this Tuesday versus the Fwood Mustangs. 

Good win by the Patriots, would have like them to finished strong like the middle innings.  I think we lost focus towards the end and we will need to fix that for district play.  It was nice to see the team over come some adversity too.  We won without 2 starters.  It was great to prove no player is bigger than the team and that someone is always ready to step in and make plays.  Keep it up Patriots.

Hopefully it will be a great game.  We finally woke up and little bit on Sat and beat Dobie 16-5 and Summer Creek 11-1.  Im sure all the kids will be cranked up another level.  Good luck to both sides and keep rolling Patriots.

Prayers headed that way.

What does he have to know about?  Sounds like he got his car towed so he knows what happened.  Could be wrong I guess.

Hopefully we can get some fans their tonight whether they are from Baytown or not to pack the stands and support these boys.

GAMEDAY PATS, time to go and take it
[/quote]Do any GCM fans go to practice? I was watching them practice from upstairs at my house yesterday and trying to pick out Grandberry but couldn't help but notice the overall size of the team. You can tell GCM is barely under that 5a limit right now and with all the new building going on by my house y'all could be bigger than Sterling in a few years. GCM has some good looking athletes out there right now but what ever happened to Jamar Gibson?

Where is there a house close enough by that you can watch their practice?  They practice behind the school which is behind the tennis courts.  Springfield is in front of the school.  There is a neighborhood to the west but that is across several fields.
I think we are actually lacking physical size compared to most teams we play.  As far as size in numbers i think they could be larger but it is easier to walk the halls then conform to a certain rules.  To many want things given to them rather than earned.  Hopefully starting a winning tradition like tonight will show the kids that the hard work and discipline pay off.

GAMEDAY PATS, time to go and take it

1 more day, i cant wait to start the playoff weekend for everyone else with a win by the GCM PATRIOTS.

Brick by Brick boys.

Anyone heard any updates about Terry's injuries.  I thought I read that the big receiver dislocated his shoulder or something.

Man its going to be a long three days.  I do love this cold spell coming in with this week.  I have the boys have a great week of practice and get focused up, then represent the City of Baytown with a great showing Thursday night.

GCM vs Terry
Thursday night @ 7pm
Deer Park HS

GCM - Home team

Anybody at least heard a score here?

We have a great one - two punch in the running game with Granberry and Durden.  Durden had 4 carries for 142 yds last night for like 35.5 ypc avg.  I know most came one run but they have been doing it all year.  We have good receivers too and the OL has been playing better.  Individual credit always comes along with the TEAM is successful.

I think the key will be if the defense can bring the wood and intensity like they did for the Galena Park game.  I think these kids are primed and ready to go.

Still pumped this morning, hope the boys enjoy this one at school today then get ready for business.
