Updated from the weekend. Every series was split except for Navarro sweeping over Bossier Parrish

[quote name="ForeverADog" post="995458" timestamp="1302471852"] Clay has been getting clobbered deep lately. So unlike him. [/quote] He's gotta get down hill with the ball. Left about 5 fastballs waist high, can't do that with those hitters. He'll get back to normal.

This Saturday April 9th at the Nederland High School baseball field. Get your spot secured for summer ball. [/quote] Another reminder for new and returning players. After your big win tonight, drive over to Nederland Saturday and secure your spot. [/quote] Save a spot for me ;)

[/quote] The over/under is 71 1/2....load up on the under gentlemen. [/quote] Nah, they will go on a run late in the year winning 10 straight so Drayton can say there is promise and doesn't have to spend any money.   :( [/quote] Drayton will be long gone by then. [/quote] I hope you know something we don't know.

[quote name="bkatdog" post="994209" timestamp="1302188023"] Two good games in Lufkin Wednesday wih a split with TC winning 5-3 and Angelina winning 5-4. Conference title will be a dogfight with spoilers playing a big roll in picking the winner. Good to see a slimmer of hope for all teams in both zones with a chance for the prize available for the taking. [/quote] Definitely. Gonna be tough sledding for the bottom 3 teams, but anything can happen.

Arguably apart of one of the toughest conferences in the country, if not the toughest, here are the final standings through the conference season. [b][b]1[/b]. Navarro - 20-8 [b]2[/b]. Angelina - 18-10 [b]3[/b]. Texarkana - 16-9 (3 games to make up, maybe) [b]4[/b]. Panola 16-12[/b] [b]5[/b]. Northeast CC - 12-16 [b]6[/b]. Lon Morris - 11-17 [b]7[/b]. Paris 9-18 [b]8[/b]. Bossier Parrish CC - 7-19

LU up 4-0 in 3rd. Beaumont Ozen DD Lott on the mound for the Cards.

[quote name="ABSENT!" post="993526" timestamp="1302055547"] What is this inane belief that Lamar will move up to a bigger conference. Do you guys not know that football is the main driver to promotion to a new league?  We would have to dominate for the next 10 years to get a nod to move up.  I am sure our baseball, tennis, and golf success will help at that point but really McNeesen SFA, & Sam Houston have a way better chance to get called up first! [/quote] It doesn't take 10 years of success to move up.. Look at UTSA, Georgia St, and South Alabama.

Clay is starting on the bump for the Sox tomorrow.

I think it looks terrific.

[/quote] Your coaching style has to reflect the players on your roster. Best example is Lumberton in the early to mid 2000's.. They ran a spread offense for football and they were all white with no one running under a 4.8 with a QB that wasn't successful throwing the ball. Hence, a spread offense doesn't fit that team which is why Lumberton never won. Lamar needs a coach that can translate an offense to the style of players he has. [b]Cross[/b]. [/quote]Evans >:(  :) [/quote] He's be a solid fit also. Here, [b]Evans or Cross[/b].

[quote name="UNLV" post="991447" timestamp="1301675830"] [Hidden Content] [/quote] In the mean time, it sounds like it. I see the Sunbelt as a more likely landing spot for Lamar in the future. It would be much easier on traveling especially.

[quote name="baddog" post="991337" timestamp="1301663663"] The weather scored 6 runs? Just because an injured player did not play, inserting him into the game does not guarantee victory. [/quote] Think that he meant if the game isn't called next time the outcome could be different.. Everyone knows the weather can't score for you, duh. ;)
