Seventh inning, Hardin leading 15-6, I think...

I'm told there's been ALOT of errors...

The EC QB(Thomas) will lead in both.

I would have to agree, but...

The Anahuac QB (Pesina) was really good on the rush last year as well.  And he was young, just a soph.  He ran for a lot of yards.

And, Hardin's QB (Nolan) avg over 100 yards per game in the air.  He can throw.  I think he's the best passer in the district.

What is the Buna QB's name and rank, (going to be a senior, right)?

A Hardin player got ejected for this wed. against Deweyville.  It was a close play, catcher recieved the ball about 2 feet from the plate up the baseline (100% blocked) and the Hardin player slid head first, basically diving into the catcher.  Didn't look malicious, but it did look rough, and it got him immediately ejected.

I haven't seen Shepherd, but I know they beat a quality team in Splendora.  That said, if Liberty keeps playing the way they have, I'll take the panthers.  They look tough defensively, and have several players in their line-up to string a few hits together.

Good luck Liberty!

thanks, soking, thats what I meant, just a hard way to end a really close game...

Good job Panthers.  Potetz pitched 5 really strong innings for Liberty.  George finished the game strong as expected.  Potetz also had a couple of great hits to go along with his pitching win...

Remsing for Hardin complete game with the win.  Only a few hits on either side.  Game ended on a strange call at 2nd base...

slow roller to short, flips to 2nd to get that out and the player that had slid into 2nd jumped up and interfered with the feilder trying to make the throw to first, ump called them both out. 

Deweyville's pitcher, pitched the whole game also and did a good job too.

Any stats on the game? Who pitched for each team, who had some hits, etc...

I agree about respecting authority.  But I also think, umpires should be humble, respectful, and professional, at all times.  I can't stand an umpire, (volunteer LL, or HS) with a power trip.  The type who wants every one in the park or stadium to know he's running the show.  The absolute best umpires I can think of, I often don't remember after a game.  Fans should shut up if they don't know the game, but good umps seem to always ignore those fans.  That's a good umpire imo.

I think Anahuac has a solid team, and if pitching holds for them, they could win this.  I seen every team in this district, and I think Buna will win it, but Anahuac will get some hits against whoever Buna throws at 'em.  Should be a good one, good luck to both...

Congradulations on your big win over EC next year.

Now thats funny right there.

Wow, this made for some intresting reading...I don't mean to interupt, but I think Liberty may be a little underrated for next year.  The junior class this year is loaded with some good athletes.  But you know what may be the deciding factor for Liberty is, who is going to be COACH?

Wher's Mr. reality?  Or anyone else who might have some stats on HD.  Just wondering who pitched for the bobcats, etc...

Sounds like it was a good game, congrats pirates.  Anyone have any more stats?

Yea, I believe Tarkington will have something to say about the title.  that said Liberty could pull it out, its not unfeasable to believe Liberty could challenge for it...

This district looks to be a good, tough challenge for everyone.

I see Liberty, Tarkington, and Splendora, that's just my thoughts, I haven't seen the rest of the district play yet.

EC will take this district, and everyone who knows these teams knows this.  Someone should make a new topic labeled "who will take second in 24 AA".  Then we can all have some discussions about it. ;D

And no I'm not an EC fan, they're just Gooooood...

Hardin held true to form: giving up 4 runs in the 1st!  They've done this same stuff in every district game except Anahuac. EC scoring 4 on ALOT of Errors. 

EC looked good at the plate against Hardins ace (Clements).  Clements got ejected late in the game, but it probably didn't matter.  Their bats looked weak against EC's starting pitcher.  One of the only bright spots on Hardins offense is Jr. Shortstop Jordan Nolan, who had a couple of good solid line drive hits.

Parker pitched very well for Splendora, George for Liberty pitched equally as well.  As I said in my prediction, a low scoring, good battle, where Liberty came out on top.  It was a GREAT game by both teams.  Liberty bats were not intimidated by the speed of Parkers pitching.  And George had all his stuff working while hitting his spots.  Great game and good job Panthers!

Anahuac, in my opinion, may be under-rated.  They have a really good team, that wont quit no matter the score or inning.  That says alot about character, and with good character comes good things....

Congrats Panthers.

Kountze impressed me in the couple of games I've watched them, but Deweyville has the potential to be really good with kids they have.  I say if DV's pitching is good, then this will be close, but DV wins.  Good luck to both...

Good Job Bobcats.  Congrats to Chase.  He's going to be a really good pitcher in the coming years.  HD always seems to have some gifted athletes.

Tyler George is a very good lefty!  He has matured alot over the last couple of years.  If he has all his stuff Friday, and Splendora throws their ace, it may be a low scoring game.  Liberty needs to start manufacturing some more runs, they may be hard to come by this Friday.  Good luck Panthers!

I think Warren can give Buna a good game, and really, that's all it takes sometimes.  A good game to the end can go either way.  Buna looks as good as we all thought they would, but honestly, most everyone in the district so far has played them well.  No blow-outs yet by Buna.  Anything can happen, good luck Warren, (pulling for ya) make the district race more intresting...

Hardin will have:

Stelly - Jr. LB/RB

Marsh - Sr. RB/WR/DB

Remsing - Sr. position unknown (he could play anywhere) from RB to TE ( great athlete)

Nolan - Sr. QB

Collins - Sr. WR/DB

Now if Hardin learns how to tackle before next season they will be much improved...

I will agree with soking, Hardin looked terrible.  Hats off to Kountze, who looks young as a team, and not afraid at the plate, like the Hardin players did.  Hardin doesn't look like they even want to be out there.

Here's my question to Hardin: Do these boys have any heart?

I think these kids can play, they just aren't...
