Maybe Zoch this round

HAHA! I don't think so....Matt WANTS this one....and Coach Landry knows that! He's going to let him compete!

Starting Zoch and closing with Matt is the strategy I see Caoch Landry going with. Zoch has been money all year and what a comfort to know if he gets in a jam Hicks is waiting in the pen. I see Zoch really gaining some respect in this one and BC takes it 4-2.

Get off retiredoldcoach. He is just trying to be helpful. He just means there aren't any of your typical "tiebreakers" (ie head to head, run diff., that sort of thing) in this district. You agree or you play, period. Which is the way it should be. The run differential is a bunch of crap in highschool. IMO.

It looks like there is a good chance Crosby and KP will end up tied. If this happens what is the tie breaker. I know it is different for every district. Perhaps GCMPats has an inside line to one of the coaches and could find out.

Yeah, I am looking forward to this one too. Are they starting early or will it still be at 7:00?

IMO. What the article is really saying is "all things in moderation."

Here is an interesting article that goes along with this thread.

Man, this sounds like a great one. I can't believe we can't get a better recap.

Sounds like a good game. Livingston has a real shot at the playoffs.

Who threw for Livingston? Any highlights for the lions?

Anyone have a score atleast?

I would bet PNG doesn't save Reynga. But LCM will be able to match up well with Waddell. Should be close all the way. But PNG just has to much offense imo. PNG 4 LCM 2.

Any idea what time png is playing?

I heard there were a couple today, but then heard they may have to be cancelled because of TAKS?

Lumberton @ Crosby Not sure game time
Sulphur @ PNG 4:30 I think

Anyone know?????

Very impressive first week. Anyone have any stats for some of the Lumberton kids? They had a heck of a week as well.

Did Sowell make 3 starts on the week? How many innings did he throw?

I know PNG vs. Kelly rained out are they making it up?

LCM : James Swan/ Freshman/ 6'4  Remember this name. Great attitude,Great future.

You forgot to mention, Great arm.

I don't think The Voice forgot. He just understands the attitude is of equal importance. Great arm+bad attitude will not produce long term success.

Well I have watched a couple of scrimagges now, but only a couple because of all the rain. But Gabe is pretty close imo.

1. Nederland- They are number one until someone proves otherwise. Loads of talent.
2. Vidor- I may be the only one who agrees with you but I think Hester could beat Nederland both times. He might not loose a game in district. Plus all the other experience coming back they have.
3. BC- This 3a district is the cardinals until someone takes it.
4. OF- Basiclly 9 returning starters and 2 Big XII signees. Someone said "could this be the year?" Well if it is not it may never be.
5. PNG- I could see them making a very long playoff run. And if a few things break right could easily win the district. Might should  be in front of the 2 3a schools, but I think they play BC so we will see.
6. Jasper- Should probably be in the top five but I seldom make it up north so I haven't seen them yet. I think they come to the Vidor tournament maybe I can catch them then.

How about Lumberton? Any one have it yet?

Look for Nederland and PNG to both be in top 10 when the next one comes out. I for one am shocked Nederland isn't in this one.

There are alot of talented players who don't get a scholarship each year. Unless you are at the very top tier of talent and are only playing high school ball these days, very good chance you may get overlooked.
Just my 2 cents.

JMO but I think if this is the case then you are at the wrong highschool.

I agree this should be a very exciting district especially at the top. And there are many questions for each team to be answered. This is how I see it.

Can Nederland live up the hype? When anything short of a second district title and return trip to regional finals will be a disapointment. I say yes. I see them absolutley cruising to the regional finals this year.

Can PNG upset Nederland? They will be right there. I doubt they can overcome the powerful dogs, but wouldn't be at all suprised to see them playing Nederland in the regional finals.

Is this the year Vidor wins their first playoff series? I think it is obvious that they get in fairly easily. This may be the most talented group they have had and really need to have some playoff success with this group.

Can LCM overcome their youth and lack of pitching? I doubt it. Those are a bad combination. I see an upset in this spot. Probably going to Lumberton.

Will Lumberton make a return to the post season? It has been a while, but this could be the year. With LCM being down and Lumberton seeming to be on the rise look for those two games against LCM to be huge.

What will Livingston bring to the mix? Not real sure to be honest. However the 4th spot is up for grabs in my opinion and I wouldn't count them out. There people seem to have some confidence going in.

Can Ozen get back to their upsetting ways? For years Ozen was the team no one wanted to play. Talent has been a little down the past couple of years, but Coach Thomas does an outstanding job.

Of course no one has even started practice yet so who knows. But I for one am looking forward to watching the answers to the questions play out on the field.

Robert Armentrout,

Anyone have any credintials, contact info, location of facilities  etc.....

Thanks

Hey I am not hating the sundevils. I agree they do a great job. It just appeared to me from their most recent roster they seem to be leaning more and more out of "south east" texas with only 8 of 20 being from what I would consider southeast texas. I am a south east texas guy, and you all have done well by the kids in this area. Just hope yawl trend back the other direction. If I have a bad read on the current roster then I apologize. My first post was meant to be sort of a joke.

What does SE stand for "send everyone". 8 Players from southeast texas by my count. But still a heck of a showing at that event.

Do you mind if I ask who is coaching the 11-12?

Can just anyone show up for the 11 and 12 year old tryouts? Or is there a maximum number the indoor facility can handle?
