We are blessed to have so many good catchers in SE Texas Best Defensively and Offensively in 22 4A Carnahan - PNG Todd - Westbrook Jackson (I think Casey would be a better DH- he is awesome with the bat but has trouble with his throws and blocks IMO

I read yesterday's Port Arthur News and realized that Dave Rogers, who has been a sports writer for the Port Arthur News, was leaving to work in Baytown. Dave has taken the time to track down scores and stories to make sure that all interested was kept informed. I worked quite a bit with him through my children's sports years and will miss his unique personality. Best of luck to Dave and I wonder who will fill his shoes?

Congrats to Carnahan, Partain and Stovall. Proud to have you guys to represent the USA and Southeast Texas.

Any word on the scores from these games?

From PNG Pitchers: Shawn Flores (P O/F), Eric Harrington (P SS) Catcher: Jon Carnahan (P, 1st) First Base: Jerin Spikes (lst)

From PNG Baseball - congratulations to Jon Carnahan ©, Shawn Flores (P O/F), Jeremy Dominguez (DH, O/F, 1B), and Nathan Minshew (O/F, PR). As everyone on this sight knows, major demands of time to practice their sport leaves less time for academics. These young men managed to excel academically and athletically, holding a GPA of 3.5 or higher.

Jake is a great offensive player - look at his batting record to see that. I thought catcher's are also rated on their defense, such as passed balls, throwing errors, stolen base attempts, blocked balls, put outs etc. Taking that into consideration, who would it be then?

Did we decide if this is accurate? If so, can someone explain to me how the picks are made? Can't believe Carnahan didn't make any list.

Jocknash: First, you were tagged before you slid inside to home plate. Second, the umpires did run off the field - how could you have seen anything with your whole team on top of you. Third, and most importantly, PNG fans would NEVER make fun of anyone hurt on an opposite team. PNG is a good team, with atheletes and good sportsman. We even wish you guys good luck in the next round. So stop the bashing and concentrate on your game.

Grow up son and don't lie. My son is the catcher from PNG and he most definitely made the tag, he doesn't lie. Again, it doesn't matter - it is what it is. However, our PNG people do not talk trash, we just support our team. And by the way, we handed the games to you on errors. So play smart, hope you have the same umps that called the game your way and go far into the playoffs.

Congrats to the Falcons - but need to set the record straight on the game winning run at home plate. It was a horrible call - Carnahan tagged the runner before he got to the plate - blue was behind and couldn't see the tag. Umpires make mistakes, but should at least put themselves in place to see the play. And in all the years I have watched ball games I have never in my life seen umpires run so fast to their cars after the bad call was made. Hope all of the area teams do well in the next round. PNG will be back again next year!

Is there anyone out there with information of the top 3 finishers in District 23 4A AND 24 4A

Any updates?

3 homers tonight Carnahan - 3 run bomb Spikes 1 run Flores 1 run

I think the coach is the catcher's (Massey) brother, so Mom may have been tossed defending the catcher???????????

Any word on PNG/LCM game?

Definitely Central

Shawn Flores for PNG - no hits, 11K's, no walks, no score for Central By the way, Central is a very much improved team this year. They have the ability to win on any given night.

I agree that Carnahan from PNG is the best catcher in this area, both on offense and defense. He is also a great roll model on and off the field. His leadership skills as a junior are great, expecially with PNG's young team. His bat is hot when it counts the most, i.e. major HR against Nederland and most of his hits are doubles, with him hitting in the 4 hole. No registered steels against PNG and he only has one passed ball for the season. He gets my vote!

PNG - Eric Harrington and Jon Carnahan

PNG vs New Caney varsity on Wednesday cancelled

WP Eric Harrington LP Dee Dee Lott Indians had 8 hits in first inning , including a 3run homer by Eric Harrington, scoring 9 runs. Picked up one more run in the 2nd inning with Shawn Flores reaching on an error, moved around by Spikes' walk and Doty's single and came in of Todd's walk. No defensive errors for the Indians, 3 for Ozen.
