Heath Pavliska is at Hardin.

HF needs to find a leader. Too much bickering amongst the team. Too much mouthing. Not enough taking care of business. They got some talent so things can turn around at any time.

[quote name="bseblljunkie" post="1394513" timestamp="1366053737"] She never told him he could not have the ball. She had already walked over and gave the ball to the EC head coach and I saw the EC coach give the ball to WOS. The ball was in the WOS dugout prior to the parent approaching her. She told the parent that the ball was given to the head coach. Im sure he is a good guy, not disputing that, and not saying he is a liar either,  he was probably caught up in the moment because he did not have all of the facts and thought his son was not going to get the ball and just didnt realize how aggressive he appeared to others. Another EC parent even stood up once he approached her because of how angry he was. For those who were sitting in the stands did not know what was going on and did not know that the player already had the ball. So I am sure they may have advised to call and complain, I would have advised the same thing had i not been there and known the kid already had the ball [/quote] This is bordering on rediculous. It doesn't matter. The kid has his ball. Now, since my kid is the one that went to get the ball, I will give you the facts about what happened. When the ball was hit, a little brother of one of the WOS varsity players went to get the ball. A kid from EC who I have no idea who he was, gave him the ball without incident. My son and his friend met the kid half way down the right field line and he handed the ball to the kid with my son. They were met after that by the coach's wife and she told them she needed the ball back. Three times they told her that this was a homerun ball and the players always get them. Each time they tried to pass, she stepped in front of them and cut them off. During this Exchange, the ball was handed to my son. The coach's wife told them that they were running out of balls, so this time that kid wasn't getting his ball. He gave her the ball and immediately came and told us what happened. Did the dad get upset? Hells to the yeah. If it was my kid, I would have too. He went to get the ball and was told he was on the wrong side and needed to get back to our side. While he was trying to get the ball, Coach Landry told me he already had the ball, but our side did not know this. Their coach began yelling at the people in our stands instead of coaching his team. My son has played ball with most of the kids from EC for his entire life and they will all vouch that he is respectful if nothing else. He didn't disrespect the lady, that is a lie. They were just trying to get their friends homerun ball.

Congratulations to the 15U Pirates out of Vidor. After only one practice and playing in their first tournament, these young men brough home the first place prize in the Mid Summer Classic in Houston this weekend. After going 1-1 in pool play on Saturday, they swept through their competion, including a 5 run bottom of the 7th to win the semis 7-6, winning the finals against the Cypress Slam 9-3. On the weekend, they outscored the competition by 22 runs. We have some things to work on, but for their first weekend together, they looked petty good. Should be a good summer for these young men.

Just a reminder. Be there early to sign in and be sure to be in baseball gear. Tryouts start at 10:00 at the Vidor High School Field.

15U Pirate baseball will be holding open tryouts on Saturday, May 26th at Vidor High School at 10:00 AM. The Pirates are looking to build off of a very successful Fall season and are looking for players to continue that tradition. The team will be coached by current Lamar University player VJ Bunner and Derrik Kilmer.

[quote name="Castor27" post="1213029" timestamp="1334899693"] Especially since my inside source told me he either withdrew from Vidor or is in the process of it... [/quote] I heard this also.

Congrats Coach Harris. Hopefully you get this program going in the right direction and you enjoy many years of success at HF.

[quote name="JUSTforYOU" post="1206768" timestamp="1333638761"] [quote author=SilentVoices link=topic=98571.msg1206589#msg1206589 date=1333594340] HF is 0-4 in district play and tomorrow night they take on the silsbee tigers at HF's field. To have any chance at playoffs they are going to have to win the next 6 games in a row. Looks to me like they played a bunch of mediocre teams in preseason and got the big head and now they can't step up to the plate and get the job done. They have lost 4 district games, 3 of them which should have been wins. In the WOS game they made errors and couldn't get anything done at the plate. When they played HJ, Jeffcoat pitched great but had no defense behind him and yet again they could not get the job done at the plate. Against OF, they had a great chance to win it in extra innings but 2 errors in the eighth cost them that game. And tuesday night against Bridge City, HF hung in there for the first few innings with a score of 1 to 1 and then 2 errors made by HF brought across 2 more runs and it went down hill from there. They are going to have to bring all they have for the next 6 games. And if the rotation continues like it has been Jeffcoat will get the start tomorrow against Silsbee and for HF's sake he will do good again and actually have some kind of "defense" behind him which will lead them to a victory. [/quote] It's hard to be a leader when nobody seems like they want to be there.  Have you watched the intensity that most of the kids have.  There is a few that have the full burning desire to be there, and then the other half who don't.  I hear a few voices on the field when the HF plays.  It kinda reminds me of your name "SilentVoices."  But they still have the full potential to make a comeback. Nothing is over for those boys they have a few good leaders, and I believe that they will step up to lead the team to more wins again. So leave the negativity out of this thread. Leave the "There is next year attitude." And let the boys figure out whats going on don't need the talking on here for them to figure out what the need to do. [/quote] The problem with HF is that they are not one unit. They are a team of talented individuals that do not play together. They play as individuals. This is not something that can be turned on overnight. This is a mindset that should start way before a baseball season ever starts. "Team" happens by the veteran players taking the younger players under their wings and building a cohesive unit that thrives off of each other. Many, and I repeat many, not all, see any other player as a threat and they look for any way they can to alienate that person from the returning core of players. Any person who knows anything about defeating the opponent knows that it is a lot easier to defeat that opponent when they are divided. Many, and I stress not all, of the upper classmen have done the dirty work for the others in the district. Until HF starts treating the entire high school program, seniors through freshmen, as one "team", they will struggle. Sure they will make the playoffs from time to time, but they will never be a perennial power in 21-3A until the attitudes change.

[quote name="Cowboys1981" post="1206331" timestamp="1333566569"] You elected the school Board to hire the sup. and sup to hire all personel. Why dont yall let the sup do her job and yall do your job by supporting hf athletics. [/quote] And this surprises you how? If the parents don't get a say so in who is hired, how will they be assured that there kids get to play? We can't have that happening at HF. Deserving players play? No way - I want my son playing.

[quote name="Critter" post="1204575" timestamp="1333161713"] Ooooops..... So 2 district games and zero points .... And they still play BC & Silsbee!!!! [/quote] It's a good thing all those freshmen left. They may have messed up the chemistry of HF's offensive juggernaut.

Doesn't matter who they hire. Only qualification is that they are able to follow orders from the parents.
