This will not be a blow out either way. I think both coaching staffs are doing a good job retooling their respective programs, but I give bc the edge. Stump has had a little more time to build so I am going with the cards. Not to slight LCM Crouch seems to be working wonders over there.

I thought GTB stood for golden triangle baseball????? When did Lake Charles become part of the golden triangle??

Gabe,

Can you tell us how many pitches Hicks threw.  Is there any chance at a relief appereance in game 3?

The only 20-4A team that does not advance....

The Bucs go home.....

You 20-4A guy's might want to look out for Crosby and Kingwood Park. Either one of them could win their respective series. 19-4A was pretty solid this year. Good pitching and some excellent hitters from top to bottom.

We hear this every year about 20-4A, last couple of years, didn't pan out. I'll take BH in 2..... Unfortunate, that Hester is hurt. I hope he makes a complete recovery. Kid has a bright future.   I believe Crosby wins their opening round.

Go Eagles !

Couldn't agree with you more.  I see the balance of power shifting a little bit to the west this year and in the near future.  I wouldn't be suprised if 19 took 3 of the 4 series.  King looks to be the most in trouble having Nederland, but other than that I see 19 rolling.

Crosby already beat LCM once without the sensational soph. So I look for a sweep for the cougars. 

Barbers Hill at North Forest - 6 pm

Does this even qualify as a game.  More a formality.

Surely they aren't going to wait until the last day.  What if it rains?

9 from lcm   2nd place

6 from png   3rd place

3 from ned   district champs     doesn't seem right

I understand what you are saying, but it happens all the time.  Last year PNG had the MVP won the district and had just 2 first teamers (same as Central).  Being the district champion means you had the best team.  Doesn't always mean you had the best players at every position.  Probably you could have put Harrington last year on LCM, Nederland or Vidor and they would have all won the district.  Same thing could probably be said for Bellows this year.

Hey guys, I know it is tough, but can someone try to give us a run down of the rest of the week.  ie games remaining, dates, times, tie break rules for your district, records, I don't think the most updated on this site is correct.

This was an earlier post and I believe is accurate:

Need an update on this District!! How many games are left for each of the top 4 teams? As of now who looks like will win the District?

BH    8-4 Has Dayton and NF left

KP    8-4 Has NF and GCM Left

Cros 7-5  Has NF and GP left

Day 6-5   Has BH, CEK and GP left

No idea who will win. Lets see who takes care of business

Yeah I saw this.  I was just wondering if anyone had the game dates and times yet.  Can Dayton for example play tonight or Thursday or will they have to play into next week?

Can someone help me out with the schedules.  Looks like both teams already have a game on Tuesday based off the schedules on this site.  ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

How about the rest of the teams in the district? Are they doing the same thing?

You can go to UIL's website to confirm the answer. But I believe they recomend head to head. In the event that it is split you play one game.  If it is more than one team then you play a single elimination touranment, draw for seedings.  However, your district could have written its own rules that would over rule those of the UIL.  You would have to check with your coach.  From the looks of things you guys could have a 6 team tournament.  That should be fun.

It doesn't really matter who starts for nederland.  The fact is they have the best two pitchers in the district and they will both be ready to go on Monday.  Dean and Bellows have both dominated every time they have toed the rubber and I don't look for anything to change. Other than the extra innings heartbreaker versus PNG, Nederland has been the class of the district.  I look for them to go ahead and put a punctuation mark on it Monday night by winning somewhere around 9-1.

They will be Monday if rained out Friday!

I know we are expecting alot of rain when ever it gets here, but by rule there must be an attempt to make it up Saturday.  Then it can be reschedueled for Monday.

Still 5 games left.  Plenty of time for someone to lay claim to this prize. I would watch the LCM/Nederland game Friday night for a district MVP to emerge. I look for Bellow's to step up big at the plate this time and make this thing a no doubter.  Wouldn't be suprised to see him earn another save either.

winnning percentages

Griffith-538 career games 73.6%

Stone- 577 career games 70.0%

Anderson- 690 career games  64.3%

Wow those are impressive.  Winning almost 3/4 of you games is quit an accomplishment.  I think many would like to see some records of some guys that are still making a name for themselves.  How about guys like Green, Landry, Mixson, Deberry, etc.  Come on home town fans help us out.

Hey MrUmp,

Well how about making contact with a coach.  At what point is the runner called out for making contact with the base coach.

This one seems to be a no brainer.  Nederland would have to really show up flat for this one to even be close.  In my opinion the bulldogs have now shown they are the class of the district.  After the heartbreaking loss to PNG they thumped LCM and Vidor at their places and haven't looked back.  I see Ned 12 Lumberton 0.

MVP does not have to be the best player from the best team.

Not quite what I said.  I said district champion.  Because to me "value" is revealed in wins and losses.  To you it may be the guy that hit the most homers or for the highest average.  That is not what it is to me.  This debate goes on in every sport every year.  Is it the "Best Player Award" or the "Had The Best Year Award" to me is the "Most VALUABLE Player Award".  It all comes down to what you see as valuable.  I remember in 2006 (I think)a team that didn't make the playoffs had the district co-mvp.  Doesn't seem that valuable.  Bet they could haved missed the playoffs with out him.

IMO you have to wait and see how the district finishes.  Should be the best player off the district champion again JMO.  Right now there are 3 teams tied so it is kind of tough to tell.  Maybe Spikes, Jalali, Benoit;  Bellow, Dean, Cardenas (sp);  Barry, Brown, Thompson. Who knows at this point, but if I had to guess I would go with Bellow or Spikes. (I think one of these two teams wins the district)

It happens all the time.  The local 3a district had several teams do it last week.  Also this same 4a district did it last year, and every team was not able to move their games do to other conflicts.

Brenham @ # 3 in 4A.....they lose 1/2 of last year's team and don't skip a beat. The hands down favorite for 4A Region 3 champion. 14-1 record, with only loss against 5A state-ranked Round Rock Stoney Point.  

Yes, they are good and always are.  However, the hands down favorite for reigion III would have to be the regional finalists from last year that both have basiclly their enitire team back.  Friendswood and LC.

How about for Livingston.  Mostly just wondering if this was Livingston's number one that PNG pounded or if Livingston threw off at them.

Any details from Livingston.  Like who pitched or who had hits.

Boy I would sure hate to hear that.  He was off to a great start.  Any idea what the rumored injury is?
