LOL... Gotcha... I hear you Loud and Clear now Man

It is not BC trying to avoid Sweeny.  The coach trying to avoid sweeny is named Mr. Anonymous.

Exactly BC coach is to blame nobody else.  I think BC needs to loss on purpose tomorrow to avoid Sweeney in rd 2. Going 3 rds in better than 2rds.  Lol

I know of a kid they can play that will guarantee them the loss...

Nope, all it takes is a $2.99/month subscription to Game Changer

You re right!  Coach Landry sent it in under anonymous.  Wow.  

LOL!  This was not a self report.

Correct.  The ONLY team punished in this mess is the H-F Longhorns.  Does not seem to be a fair decision. 

It was indeed Griff!! I don't speculate, I post facts!!!

Agree.... 

The sad part is that HF is the only loser in this situation. Barring upsets Friday, they would have been tied with Silsbee forcing a play in game, correct?

I agree 100%.  Rules are rules and some punishment needs to be handed down, just not on the kids, in my opinion.  Having said all of that, I would question whether or not a courtesy runner is "in the game."  Since he is a courtesy runner, he didn't start, and non-starters are not allowed to re-enter a game once he is pulled.  A courtesy runner is still eligible to enter the game after running; therefore, in my opinion, that player has not "entered" the game officially and thus the game should not count toward the total games played.
 

I understand rules are made to be followed. My question is...Is being a courtesy runner actually entering the game? That person doesn't show up in the scorebook and is eligible to hit or enter the game to play a position but a pinch runner can not. Also, when a player enters the game to hit or play a position then they are no longer eligible to courtesy run.
Now, what I do know. Someone sent an anonymous letter to point out the horrible act on BC part. Congratulations on your participation trophy! Why be anonymous for this brave act of valour? Did BC win a close game because this courtesy runner beat the throw home to score the winning run? I can answer that...no! Someone spent a lot of time scrolling back through an APP to put the screws to a group of good kids that have worked their butts off to get to where they are. Maybe instead of investing so much time on your phone/computer, invest that time in your kid/team. Why be anonymous? Take credit for your wonderful find or polish that participation trophy! Good luck to all the area teams in the playoffs. Some team just gets to see BC early than they want.

I’m sure it’s someone from LCM. 

Hopefully an appropriate and fair ruling can be made. Seems that different levels of severity should be in place for different violations...using your best pitcher too many innings/pitches should carry higher penalty than letting a sub-varsity kid suit up as possible courtesy runner for 18 games instead of 17 games. Or letting your D1 3-hole hitter play after failing should be punished more than letting a sub-varsity kid suit up for 18 games instead of 17.
Looking at standings, seems like only 1 team would really get kicked in the gut if BC has to forfeit for letting a sub-varsity kid suit up as courtesy runner for 1 too many games. Top 3 teams would still be in playoffs, but handing Silsbee that win would put HF in a tough spot, all due to a sub-varsity kid suiting up as courtesy runner for 1 too many games...and the way the schedule fell. If it was 1 game earlier, When BC played HF, then HF would get that automatic win. Or maybe that sub-varsity kid was the difference in beating HF the game before : /
Anyway, just seems that a sensible thought process should be used in this egregious situation. Maybe suspend coach for a game or 3, but don’t punish kids that have been fighting all year for playoffs. Let the athletes settle it on the field...baseball gods never lie!! 
 

I bet there will be more water on the HJ field playing HF than there would have been when HJ played BC.  

Not crying, not whining. Speaking the truth. 

You are wrong. The overall number is not what people need to be looking at when they vote. They need to be looking at how much it is going to cost "them" the individual and what they are willing to sacrifice to benefit the children of Nederland and prepare the students of Nederland ISD for the future. People like you want to put these big numbers out there and scare people into voting no. When in all actuality, the hit to the individual is very small. 

was this a slow pitch softball game?

Bost is extremely fast.  Versatility will not be a problem.  Neither will accuracy.  Bost is taller, has a lot of arm strength and can run.  He may not be (Shug great) but he will definitely be Southeast Texas 5A football great.  Would be hard to find a better dual threat in this district next year.   

They got a good one.  Coach Todd Paine off of the 6A State runner up West Brook Bruin staff was confirmed last night.  Congratulations coach Paine and to Kountze.  Good Luck and go get em.  This is a great hire for Kountze and their new beginning.
