Ridgepoint beat #1 Tomball last night 8-6 in Game 1. Ridge Point came in 3rd in Tomball's district and has given them 2 out of their 3 losses this season. Winner of that series plays the winner of this one. -
[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1405451" timestamp="1368789208"] [quote author=MrUmp1 link=topic=112017.msg1405450#msg1405450 date=1368788919] I thought the announced attendance was 17,526 ? I remember playing the attendance quiz on the jumbo tron and thought the correct answer was C. [/quote] You need to get those eyes checked. ;) ;D The correct answer was C but the number was 16,789. ;D [/quote] They almost doubled the average attendance of the Astros!

[quote name="Coach85" post="1405066" timestamp="1368703501"] As I have said in a previous thread, these big power house schools are down simply because of the way scholarships are divided up. A lot of top notch athletes that these colleges used to pull in are unable to go there now because the parents are not able to afford to pay the rest. Unless your kid is one of the ones who get one of those very rare full rides it is still a lot of expense. A lot of kids or going the JUCO route because it is cheaper and most or closer to home and if you are one of those talents that has a possibility of being drafted, you don't have to stay three years before you are able to be considered for the draft. I believe that is why some of these smaller schools are being able to compete with the used to be big power house schools because the kids are staying closer to home because of the way scholarships are now days. [/quote] Every school has to deal with the same scholarship limits. That hasn't seemed to affect perennial powers such as LSU, North Carolina, CS Fullerton, Oregon St etc. All of the usual suspects are in the Top 25 minus the Texas schools.
