[quote name="GCMPats" post="739460" timestamp="1262808359"] Never seen Dishon pitch. What about Menard? [/quote] Menard is a catcher.  Hicks and Zoch will be solid.  Little Hubbard throws hard from the left side, but needs to work on his control.  I've never seen Dishon pitch, but I know he can cover some ground in the OF.

[quote name="Critter" post="739250" timestamp="1262781031"] [b]NO doubt[/b] Hicks, Hester, and Bellow are the top Three pitchers in the area [b]by far[/b]...... [/quote] I agree, but I wouldn't say by far with no doubt.  Kane Benoit(PN-G & Lamar), Shane Waddell(LC-M), Logan Johnson(HF) will all pitch in college. That's not including Jace Statum(OF) and Reggie(WB) that can both get it done on the mound, but will most likely play outfield in college. This area is blessed with a lot of talent on the mound this year,  it should be a great year to be a baseball fan.

[quote name="longhorn1951" post="739183" timestamp="1262753588"] How many regions are there in the 3a district? [/quote] There are 4 regions in the state in every class, so 4 teams make it to state. If your asking how many districts are in 3a Region 3, there are 8.

UT now leads by 11.  The defense looks alot better in the 2nd half.

Game tied at half. Pretty good game so far, the Arkansas guards are giving the Horns fits.

[quote name="sharkfutbol" post="737695" timestamp="1262491707"] [b]Nederland beat their alumni 1-0 [/b] Kelly beat their alumni 2-1 [/quote] Nederland's 2 best alumni weren't allowed to play.  Kansas City didn't want 2 of their players getting hurt in a scrimmage. ;D

[quote name="dualdellortos" post="636033" timestamp="1251991160"] Jason Butler that played at Spring HS, class of '96? [/quote] Jason Butler- Nederland class of '98.  He was the assistant coach last year for Ned.

[quote name="baileycd" post="737148" timestamp="1262337643"] Mason Dallas, Kody Smith, and Josh Veillon should do very well along with Shayne Waddell for LCM. Dont underestimate these young men [/quote] One of the main problems LC-M is going to have is finding someone to catch these guys.

One of the best things about New Years is that it is almost baseball season.  Happy New Year everyone.

Final Aggies  64 Huskies 73

Should be a good game.  Predictions?

Lake Travis finishes #2 in the country.  Maybe a little overrated IMO, I don't think they were as good as last year.  11 Texas teams made the top 100! [Hidden Content]

I don't know if he caught that ball

Trinity wins!  Great game.

Good game so far.  28-21 Westlake leads after 3 quarters.

Yes

20-14 Westlake leads at half

Trinity scores twice in 2 minutes to take the lead 14-10.

Westlake leads 10-0 in the 2nd

Texas looks good so far.  I look forward to seeing them matchup with Kansas a few times in conference play.

I started this topic to see what people thought of their returning pitchers, not to debate who has the biggest cup size or the politics of baseball.  These are high school kids that are still maturing and developing from year to year.  Some will work to get better, some won't.  We won't know until they are put on that stage in a district game. There are plenty of tourney and pre-district games to figure out who the best pitchers are. Also if Lumberton plans on making a playoff run, they will need Bell, Townsend, Erickson and a few others to step it up on the mound. You can never have too much pitching in baseball, just ask Nederland in game 3 of the regional finals. 

[quote name="westend1" post="729051" timestamp="1260661803"] Ford is a hoss! [/quote] 30 carries for 266 yards and 3TD's Kirbyville is very young and should make another title run next year.

What's the difference between Santa Claus and Tiger Woods? Santa stops at 3 Ho's Sorry, I saw that earlier and thought it was funny ;D

[quote name="SgtRey" post="723787" timestamp="1259963660"] We'll trade all this for a State Title next year!!! [/quote] Congrats to your son and all of the local players.  Good luck next year.

That's why a lot of very good players go the JUCO route.  They can give out 24 scholarships and all are full rides.  Also if the kid works as hard in the class as he does on the field, academic scholarships can pick up the rest of the tab. Or you could move to Louisiana and the state will pick up the difference --      [Hidden Content] More info [Hidden Content]
