Prayers going up.

Who will follow Augie? Anybody heard any names to be thrown in the hat?

That would be a blast, would be just like the old days when y'all lived here. All in all that would be a great match up. But it will be a couple more weeks before this match-up could come about. I have a feeling it wouldn't be home and home either. It will be interesting where they decide to play it if it does happen.

Would be a great series. If they agree on home and home this would get wild. Love to see it.

Yes that is another good option. I wasn't thinking when I posted my last comment. He would be a good choice also. The only problem is we rode two pitchers all year long and a lot of these other pitchers we are talking about don't have much mound time. That is what I don't agree with.

Lejune wouldn't be a bad choice but they still have Vidrine also..........Sounds like the Santa Fe coach is scared. Said he didn't want to travel on a school night but made us travel. Now it's a Saturday and he still wants to be close at home. They could have come have to PNG and played it but he wanted to be a wimp and wait till Monday and play it somewhere else. It's suppose to rain Monday so if they can't find a place to play it will come down to a coin flip and that is probably what he is hoping for. That is chickens___ if you ask me.

Any info on the time and place for this series?

He went crazy over the phone with the supt. When Caveness invited him to come talk to him in person Mr. Henry agreed to it.

I agree buddy. This kid is not going to make through fall ball in Houston. His dad just so happens to work in a business that will allow him to transfer to the Houston area so when his son moves there, he will too.

Yes, he made it to the parking lot. I talked to another dad that was right there when it happened. Henry threatened him and the umpire turned to him and told him he could make it to where he would not be able to see his son play again. That's when it got broken up. I think the man needs anger management classes.

This is not the first time this year the dad has went after an umpire. He followed an ump out to the parking lot and threatened him after one game. The man needs to be banned from any event anywhere his son is playing. He is a loose cannon and his kid does no wrong. He has even threatened certain higher ups.

I was there. I am a PNG fan. But his actions were uncalled for. No matter what the environment is like, as a kid ,which he still is, should not act like that in any game no matter the intensity of it. He is a highly thought of prospect and his dad charging the field makes him look even worse. He needs to show he can handle the adversity and control hisself. My son is on the sophomore team and if he acted like that I would not be charging the field to get at the umpire as Henry's did. I would be charging it to yank my kid off the field and tear his arse up. The actions of both the son and dad are totally uncalled for and should be dealt with some sort of punishment.

PNG wins it.

Henry was not suppose to play in this game but got in and got ejected for cussing at a Nederland player after he struck him out. Does not make a good impression on the scouts or UH coaches.

I wasn't just talking about last night. Even during all the tournaments PNG did not hit like a team with this amount of talent should. They didn't have more then 4 hits in a game up until they played Hampshire Fannette And Memorial Friday night. Hopefully they will turn it around quickly.

Not taking anything away from GCM pitchers but PNG can't hit a beach ball right now. Lee committed a lot of errors when we played them Tuesday but up until last Friday night against Hampshire Fannette, they had not had more then 4 hits in a game. I said on another thread that this would be what kept PNG from a district title. I'm hoping they can turn it around and start playing like they are capable of playing.

Rumor has it two coaches are leaving. Does anybody know if this is true and if so who they are?

There was 29 scouts out of 32 major league teams at this tournament and about the same at the first tournament. That is a lot for these kids to digest.

Its like a circus out there right now. All the scouts out there and most of these kids have never played with this type of atmosphere before. They are playing me ball and not team ball. Coach Carter will get it turned around. Just let the craziness settle down and they'll be ok.

For those of you who would like to watch some good Sophmore teams play, PNG is hosting it's Sophmore tournament Thursday & Friday. Game Times: Thursday - 10:00 am Nederland vs Lumberton 12:30 pm Nederland vs LCM 3:00 pm Sulphur vs LCM 5:30 pm Sulphur vs PNG Friday - 12:30 pm Lumberton vs LCM 3:00 pm Lumberton vs PNG 5:30 pm Nederland vs PNG

I have come to the final conclusion that the UIL members are idiots. Why do they keep throwing Livingston in 22-5A and not Barbers Hill. Livingston would be better off with the district 21-5A as for as travel. Nine team districts should not be allowed to exist. Some teams may loose their bye weeks because of this stupidity because now all schedules need to be redone. I know there is no precise way to make these districts but we need some people with some brains up there to try to keep the closest teams in the same district.

If this game was anything like the freshman game the officiating was horrible. Went to a basketball game that turned into a Rugby match only Central could get away with murder and if PNG just touched a guy they called a foul. Central didn't need to dribble. All they had to do was get the ball across half court and run it to the basket from there. The worst and most one side officiating I have ever seen and that includes little dribblers.

Uh oh. Look out for BH. New coach and indoor facility. They are going to start kicking everybody's tail now. They are going to be right there with those Dallas/Fortworth area teams........I'm just joking around messing with all those guys that believe facilities make the difference in how a team performs.

If PNG's hitting comes through with the pitching staff they have they should be district champs. They have three legit pitchers in Leckiech, Henry, and Vidrine. They have two others coming up in McGowan an Hranicky and A. Morse can pitch very well also. Their defense should be pretty stout regardless of who is pitching. Bost is the purest hitter I have seen in this area in a long time even as a Sophmore. If the rest can follow, provide no injuries, they should be District Champs.

We got Elliot!!!!!!
