  1. I honestly expect them to compete in EVERY game.  I think the year of maturity, plus the coaching changes that have been made, will make a big impact on the team.

    ps - Compete does not neccessarily mean win, but I think they'll get there share of "W" s while they're at it!

  2. No offense, but I would probably rank this a little higher than BC, strictly because politics aren't as bad there. The BC job was not very appealing because you win 85% of your games and thats not good enough. That probably wouldn't be the case in Carthage. As far as talent goes, each place will always have some of the best talent in the state.

    (I really should know better than to reply to this, but............)

    The BC opening HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WINNING OR LOSING!

  3. Whether you agree with the decisions of the BCISD Administration or not, THIS forum has rules, and EVERY POSTER, myself included, is expected to follow those rules....

    Please keep the discussions to facts, and do not drag others into this issue..............

    I am a resident of Bridge City, and do not hide behind a screen name.  I would expect no less of every other poster on here.  If you can't sign your name at the bottom of the post, then you probably shouldn't have written it.

    I am asking EVERYONE to equal that standard............

  4. In my opinion..........

    There is more to coaching in High School than winning and losing, and keeping up with a W-L record.  I expect the people who teach my children at the HS level to be educators in LIFE, as well as academia.  Basing your opinion, as a non-resident of Bridge City without first-hand knowledge of the situation, as to the success or failure of a coach on solely a W-L record, is pure speculation at best.  To suggest, from the outside, that this move is a mistake, is a mistake in its' own right.

    Time will allow all the facts to come to the surface, without all of the rumors disguising the truth.  Until that happens, read more and post less.............. please!

  5. Let's here it if you you will be at the game tonight!

    I will be there, and would like to put a face with some of your names.  I know almost everyone who frequents the softball side, but I know very few of you baseball fans.  If you would like to get together at Nederland tonight and shake hands, name the spot and designate a time!

    Looking forward to a great game, with great fans...............

  6. I don't think 1 game really favors either school. Both have equal chance and need to do things right the first time out. The speculation is Jasper preferred the 1 game due to pitching depth vs. BC. BC has 3 pitchers that can go strong for the game. That gives a deep "bull pen". If the starting pitcher is a little off or get's into trouble there will be plenty left to help out. BC is much improved in defense over last year. Team hitting is about 30 points higher than last year. BC has won both matchups this year, by a combined 2 runs.

    BC looks like the favorite to win whether 1 game or best of 3.

    Which is the part that scares me the most!  :o

  7. This KN is different from the last one. His targets are few this time around. He actually thinks he can tame the posters he attacks. What he doesn't realize is that his targets could give a Rats A%$!! They thrive on smites. He has created a monster!

    Ok! No pm's from mods. All I said was a%$....  

    Once bag gets on here, this thread will be locked by midnight....

    All is good - No use of the asstriks  atrisk  STAR!

  8. I think that they should feed off of each other in a perfect world.  I have had the luck of working with some great select programs and will continue to do so.  Select programs are what have helped build my program at the high school level no doubt.  We don't have an athletics class for softball and I dont see my kids until the end of January each year so we are playing catch up.  I have players that dont play select and have been sucessful and do a great job for us.  I always encourage mine to play as much as they can.  I also try to make it out to the tournments when I can and support my guys!  So I ask this why does it have to be One against the other why cant we all just get along! ;D       

    FIRST - THERE IS NO HIDDEN MEANING TO THIS REPLY, SO DON'T GO THERE

    Very good post, but in my opinion (with a few exceptions ie Cheater, Champ, BG - this is a NON-inclusive list) it is the HS coaches who don't want to get along - As parents and select coaches, we would do ANYTHING we could to help the girls succeed, and sometimes that means "NOTHING".  There are 2 problems, though:

    • Parents can't relinquish control, and let the HS coach do their job
    • (some) HS coaches feel VERY threatened by us, and the evil plague germs we carry, therefore they cannot talk to us, make eye contact with us, discuss games or strategies or skills, opponent talent and tendencies

    Neither of these lead to healthy relationships between the 2 parties.  I have no problem letting go and letting a coach do the job (s)he is paid to do.  I have no problem with playing time or position.  I have learned to "let go", because HS has ZERO bearing on what I do the other 8 months of the year.  I DO have a problem with paid professionals who DO NOT try to "grow" our kids into better people by their actions and words and deeds.  Yes, I want HS to win, but in the end, there is no scholarship at the end of the HS season - Only school spirit, a letter jacket and patch.

  9. great job blake as i said before its been a long time coming but glad you finally got an oppertunity to do what youve always been able to do and thats crush a baseball !! continue to do so and ill be pulling for ya tell your dad i said hello .   could sure use your stick here in nederland  ;D.

    I REALLY think this unfair!

    The opposing pitchers are throwing every other player baseballs when they bat.  Right now, Hubbard is getting BEACH BALLS pitched to him!  ;D  :o
