Great video, thanks for sharing!

Matt Hicks plays with the Louisiana All Stars 18U Blue team out of Baton Rouge. 

Pony League all stars because he had to cut his hair in high school. I think the pic was taken in Winnie. Bottom pic is from a tournament in Oklahoma when he was 13. 

[quote name="shsu87" post="808192" timestamp="1275423805"] Gingersnap,  I still say Matt should have pick Sam Houston,  I know someone that would be willing to go back for a couple years and keep an eye on him,,LOL [/quote] I'm sending him far away from your influence!  :o

Shaggy hair?  ;D [img][Hidden Content]] [img][Hidden Content]]

Game 2 on Saturday shows to be at [b]3pm[/b] in this thread and [b]2pm[/b] in playoff schedules/scoreboard thread. Can someone please confirm Saturday's start time?  Thanks!

Summer Creek HS is at 14000 Weckford Blvd, Houston 77044, near the intersection of Beltway 8 and West Lake Houston Parkway.  GCMPats, Is the majority of Beltway 8 construction between IH10 and Hwy 90, or between HWY 90 and W Lake Houston Parkway?  Thanks in advance. 

Directions according to [i]bing.com[/i] maps:   IH10 to Houston to Exit 781A Take ramp right for Beltway 8 N / Sam Houston Pkwy N toward Sam Houston Pkwy (4 miles) Take ramp right for E Beltway 8 / E Sam Houston Pkwy N toward Liberty / Houston (8 miles) Turn left onto W Lake Houston Pkwy; Keep straight onto N Lake Houston Pkwy  (1.2 miles) Turn right onto Weckford Blvd;  Summer Creek HS is at 14000 Weckford Blvd, Houston 77044 This school is so new that aerial views show road construction and Google maps says Weckford doesn't exist.  SCHS is located at 14000 Weckford Boulevard, near the intersection of Beltway 8 and West Lake Houston Parkway adjacent to the Summerwood community on the shores of Lake Houston.  An aerial view of the school shows the baseball stadium to be way in the back, between tennis courts and football stadium.  It appears you take a left upon entering school grounds and follow the road around the school to a large parking lot.  Hope this helps. 

Good job on the web-site, Coach!

Matt [i]was [/i] courted by Lamar and other teams quite heavily up until the day he signed with ULL.  He has tons of respect for their program and Lamar's coaches have followed Matt's baseball career since he started attending their camps at age 6 or 7.  He visited with the Lamar staff and listened to what they had to offer.  He wants to pitch and still play infield.  Several of the colleges that showed interest could not guarantee him playing on a regular basis.  Matty did not want to choose a team where he had chances of being red-shirted or sitting the bench often, as was the case with larger universities.  Ultimately it was Matt's decision and he chose ULL which offered him a rare full-ride scholarship.  Since I only live 5 minutes from the Lamar stadium, it would have been great for me, but it's not about me or anyone else.  It's about Matt and his desire to play ball at a higher level.  My advice to him is to get an education and have fun playing ball as long as you can.  Oh and by the way, he say's he's only 5'8" but standing next to him yesterday ... I'd swear he's taller than that.  :o

[quote name="78Stang" post="733627" timestamp="1261329093"] ...All that select teams are about is to live out a dad or moms dream and to make some wanna be, has been coach money while that dream lives. I have seen it too many times! [/quote] You are SO WRONG in that statement.  My dream is to have a happy, well adjusted son that has all the opportunities to make himself a better person.  His choice is to play ball year round, not mine.  I'd much rather him focus his career toward pre-med ... That would make ME happy.  :)

Way to go - GI Joe!  Your hard work and dedication has paid off.  ;D

Thanks I got it!

Will the game be on 92.5 like normal?

Way to go Jace & Jacob!  It's been a pleasure watching the two of you grow up on the ball field.  I know your parents are very proud.  They deserve a round of applause for helping you get to where you are now.  Best of luck in the future! [i](Unless you are playing BC)[/i]  ;)
