[/quote] I wonder if Ted Williams could have lived up to the "hype" this day and age. The kid can play ball, not sure if he will ever be able to meet the expectations the media (and in some ways himself) have placed on his shoulders. [/quote] I agree.  Anything less than being a top player in the Majors would be considered a failure at this point.  That is a lot to live up to for a young kid.  There are a lot more "sure things" that bust than succeed, especially in baseball.  Lebron is the only one that comes to mind that has been successful with this much hype at such a young age. Good Luck to the kid.  I just hope he doesn't start a trend of kids quitting HS early to play college.  Enjoy HS while you can, you can never get those years back.

[/quote] Stone is at SS and Denzlingler started at 2nd last year as a Soph.  I guess Knox is making the move just trying to get on the field.  I haven't seen Knox play much, but I know Jorgenson can swing it from the left side.

According to what has been posted on here earlier [b]Nederland[/b] has WO-S Barbers Hill GCM

It is my understanding that the present board has expanded the boundary again, but this time with good intentions of including more kids in the league who may want to try something different or who may not have any other alternative. [/quote][b]i know a few that played last yr at nbr. maybe they were 16.[/b] [/quote] MC Sr. Babe Ruth has taken some 15 yr olds from Orange County in the past if they had spots open.  I doubt we will do that now that the OC kids can play down.

You could see some teams with 2 or 3 wins make the playoffs.  They should just let everyone make it so they don't hurt anyones feelings. ;)
