Best of luck to Tyler Kolek on a day that will set up the rest of his career and life. Also, best wishes to all of the other deserving young men in our area that will get the chance to fullfill their lifelong dreams through the draft.

The coaches have enough to worry about in preparing for the respective opponents, hope the weather will cooperate.

I guess this is why they still play the games on the field. Doesn't matter who is better on paper or in anyone's mind, just matters on the scoreboard.

No, they couldn't have gone Wed, Thur, Sat.

 

Two-out-of-three
• If a schools play a two-out-of-three elimination series, the first (and only the first) game may be played prior to Friday,
provided there is no loss of school time traveling to or participating in the game.

Any update on game 3?

Hope Huffman's pitching depth performs as good as it did last weekend.

Sounds like more pitching and defense for the Falcons, doing what they do.

How many does Brenham have, that you know of?

Have been told that they have 8 D1 commits, pretty stout.

Should be interesting.

A relatively new school, good at everything. Could have 5A numbers by the next reallignment, from what I've been told.

Three game series, all games at Magnolia West.

 

Thursday  at 7:00

Friday       at 7:00

Saturday   at 5:00   if necessary

Was able to make games 2 and 3 of this series. Much respect for both quality programs. Both staffs pitched extremely well, especially the number 2,3, and 4 guys. You pretty much expect Smith and Shug to dominate, but all of the other arms were outstanding, as well. Huffman found ways to capitalize on a few key opportunities and BC didn't. Best of luck to the Falcons as they continue on and best of luck to the Cards in their baseball futures. Thanks for an entertaining series.

Also, gotta mention the Uzzle kid. Even in defeat, he plays the game the right way and is a class act.

He probably would be considered their ace.

Should be a fun series, as should Huffman/BC.

All four of these teams are very well coached, playing their best ball of the season and finding ways to win.

At this point in the game, you are doing your team a disservice if you think any of the teams left don't deserve to be there or got lucky or whatever other term you want to put on it.

This is the absolute best time of the season and I can promise you that all four teams will leave it all on the field.

Can't wait to see who is left standing after Saturday.

 

Any details yet?

Appreciate the kind words Rake and you are spot on. The scores didn't go our way, but we will take a lot of positives out of this series. BC is a quality program, coaches, kids and fans. Best of luck the rest of the way.

I heard that they moved it to Wednesday.

The kid mentioned from Tarkington (Evans) is simply a gamer. He probably can't break 85, but he had three good pitches working that night and was just not going to be beaten. A much better catcher than pitcher.

Saw Kolek pitch again last night, 12 k in five innings. His control is much better than ever before and he is starting to mix in a pretty good slider and the occasional change. The sky is the limit for this kid. He is on another planet right now.

If Kolek is not on your list, then you haven't seen him play. I would recommend that you do, before he graduates.

I guess Coldspring and Splendora were the only two able to play. Splendora 12   Coldspring 1

Anybody?

Tyler broke his arm in a collision with a baserunner coming down the line, while he was playing 1B.

They didn't sneek in, Tyler broke his arm in the second district game and little brother put the team on his back and carried them to the playoffs. Coach Jackson coached his butt off as well.

I just think it is a little premature to say that they are already in the playoffs this year, when no district games have been played.

His coach will be glad to know that they made the playoffs...
