[quote name="Count Coog" post="1391306" timestamp="1365088542"] This is so dumb.  There will be so many schools cheating and students being "homeschooled" that will ruin sports for everyone.  Chester86, I understand that it would be good for small communities like yourself, but for the 3A + it is going to be people trying to [size=18pt]play sports and not go to school[/size]. [/quote] You would be suprised by the number of student/athletes already engaging in this activity.

Astros are playing .500 baseball.  ;)

[/quote] So what makes a 3a/4a borderline school from getting its kids to go home school during the week of snapshot for realignment purposes? [/quote] If your district wants to "cook" the numbers, they are already doing so. Allowing homeschooled students to participate in UIL events will not suddenly legislate morality. Cheaters cheat.

Lee is just bad and will not get much better. They just do not have the horses.

Just shows how much of an accomplishment a no hitter really is. Wow! Nolan Ryan was a beast!

Looks like Dervish is battling a blister. 3 outs from perfection.

Darvish is just filthy.

I assume a home-schooled student would be required to participate for the school whose attendance zone they reside. If so, this is nothing like the Private school issue in regard to recruiting athletes.

[quote name="eagleswoodville#1" post="1390748" timestamp="1364918727"] Out of 20-2A: Justin Twine of Hemphill is one of the best overall SS in the area. And Torin Hickman of Woodville has shown dominance on the mound and should be in this discussion for best pitcher. [/quote] What position is Twine projected to play after HS?

[quote name="Low Ball" post="1390322" timestamp="1364760319"] I hate to be a participant in the hi-jacking of a thread, but I have some questions. What is it that kids and parents could be missing that leads them to term a scholarship as a "Full Ride"? Baseball scholarships are year to year, and the fees that may be covered in part or whole would be: Tuition, books, all misc fees, meals, & housing. Did I miss something? Is there something else that would need to be covered. I know that if a kid is close to home, he may choose to not live on campus, therefore there would be no housing allowance, but, possibly a stipend to equate to that amount. An expert I am NOT, somebody please clarify. [/quote] The TOP D-1 baseball scholarship covers about 70% of the total costs (tuition, books, housing). They do not pay for lab fees or things of that nature. Most do not provide for meals. They may still provide for housing even if you stay off campus after your freshman year. Most baseball players off-set the 30% with academic scholarships depending if they qualify. Based on those numbers, a "scholarship" to Rice, TCU, Baylor or any other private university is still very expensive when you compare tuition dollars. Either way, if any part of your education is being paid for, you're doing pretty good.

Aggies are swept on the road by a very good SC team.

No rain here yet. Tarp is on the field. RSS is playing good ball right now. I see them winning this one 4-2.

Rain.

Final SFH.      10 GCM.      5 GCM lays an early Easter egg.

Top of 3rd SFH.  2.  3.  1 GCM.  0.  1.  0 Silva struggling with control: 2 HBP, 3 1Bs, 3 BBs.

[quote name="setx_baseball23" post="1389513" timestamp="1364424605"] I see it as 1.Barbers Hill 2.Nederland 3.Lumberton 4.West Brook 5.Bridge City No offense to GCM just haven't heard much about them. Ive seen them play once this year for like 2 innings waiting for another game to start and didn't look to impressive [/quote] I thought GCM would be "down" this year. New coach, not enough pitching, etc.. Boy, was I wrong. Coach Thames has done an outstanding job and they seem to have embraced the "team" mentality. Cooper and Silva have been lights out from the mound. Hope they continue their success.

Well there ya go.

Barbers Hill GCM Lumberton Nederland PNG Not sure of the order.

[quote name="BrenhamFan" post="1389422" timestamp="1364407178"] SR Dayne Wunderlich hit his 6th HR for Brenham. [/quote] Is he committd to Rice?

[quote name="BHFAN" post="1389375" timestamp="1364401317"] My nephew plays for Lee and why he didn't jump ship to GCM is a mystery to me. I think Lee lost two to GCM when the school went in to unsatisfactory status, they just don't have much to compete with this year. [/quote] I kind of thought it would have been more too. The entire athletic department is struggling. Could be the first time that no team from Lee, at any sport, advances to the playoffs.

Right now, alone in 1st. 6-0 I believe. They start the 2nd half of district on Thursday.

[quote name="BHFAN" post="1389313" timestamp="1364395549"] Great game Eagles!!! Thought this one would have been closer [/quote] BH trailed in the 4th inning 3-1. Pitching and defense win games. Both fell apart for SC. The Eagles are rolling through district.

Tis true. D. Cooper picks up the win allowing 2 hits with 14 k's.
