  7. Lady Cards superstitious heading into Bellville battle Gabe Pruett The Orange Leader BRIDGE CITY — The Bridge City Lady Cardinals have started to take after Coach Becca Mathews these days. Senior Audrey Myers has to eat oatmeal each and every game day. The last time she didn’t, the Lady Cardinals (24-13) lost in three games to the Silsbee Lady Tigers. Now she eats her oatmeal along with a few other players who are sticking to habits. They will bring their superstitions into tonight’s Class 3A Region III Regional Quarterfinals against the Bellville Lady Brahmas at Klein Forrest High School. Along with the oatmeal, junior Mallory Guidry now wears two ponytails and Mathews has stopped wearing a silver bracelet plus eat sunflower seeds on the bus. “Kayla (Fullerton) said it is all my fault the team is superstitious,†Mathews said. “With superstitions, whatever gets you to believe you will win before you play — I’ll take it.†Guidry plans on wearing the same outfit to school today she wore last Thursday when the Lady Cardinals defeated the La Grange Lady Leopards. She did point it has been washed since then. “We get it from our coach,†Guidry said. “Now everybody on the team is doing something the same.†Whether the superstitions will work or not is still up in the air. What Mathews and Guidry both know is the Lady Cardinals are more focused than ever since hitting the third round of the playoffs. “Since La Grange, I have seen the girls are wanting to put in as many reps in a drill as they can,†Mathews said. “It is so funny because usually at the end of a season players seem to drift towards the next sport. These girls are more into volleyball than ever. I haven’t heard a single word about basketball just yet.†Guidry agreed with her coach that Bridge City is worker harder since the regular season ended. “It feels great to be having success because I am with a group I have been playing with for a very long time,†Guidry added. “I am happy for this team because we deserve it for all the hard work we have put in. We have worked extremely hard even with practices on Saturday.†When Mathews was sizing up Bellville (25-16), she noticed a stark similarity between the Lady Cardinals and Lady Brahmas. “I hate to say it but they are a lot like us,†Mathews said. “They have a great outside hitter and play tough defense.†Bellville has had recent success with a trip to the state tournament in 2005. Outside hitter Precious Sanders was on that squad. “They have always done well,†Mathews added. “I don’t care about 2005. Just last year we were out in the first round and last year we were third in our district. We are certainly going to have to play well but Bellville is beatable.†Guidry said the Lady Cardinals are sporting confidence right now but know they are not head and shoulders above every team they face. “I believe we have a great chance to win this one,†Guidry added. “Our defense is going to help us along the way and of course we have Audrey. I love our defense. It is great to dig out a hard shot from another teams defense.†Guidry is often in the back court to assist in defense along with senior Jenna Angelle who leads the team in digs. “Every person on this team knows their role,†Mathews said. “I brought them in my office once and told them what their job was. They simply don’t care about what the other girls’ stats are and who is getting the glory. They just want to win.†A win tonight would send the Lady Cardinals into this weekend’s regional tournament.
  8. Certainly limit their minutes if the District title wasn't on the line.
  9. From 3A Downlow La Grange seniors at it again 4 seniors will not be suited up friday night against Navosota for violating team rules. 2 starting offensive linemen and one starting wr, the other is a backup wr. This no doubt will hurt La Grange on friday night as they moved some sophomores up to fill these holes.
  10. Curt Schilling had listed 13 teams that the free agent would play for next season. Looks like he's close to getting his first choice. The Boston Herald reported on Monday night that the right-hander and the Red Sox are close to reaching agreement on a one-year, incentive-laden deal. Citing a person familiar with the talks, The Associated Press reported that a deal could be reached within a few days. Schilling told the newspaper that things "gathered momentum and if they continued to progress like they did [on Sunday] something could potentially get done." Sources told the Herald that the final hurdle in the deal may be the 40-year-old Schilling passing a physical. Schilling, who is not represented by an agent, went 9-8 with a 3.87 ERA last season. He won three games in the postseason, including Game 2 of the World Series on the way to Boston's sweep of the Colorado Rockies. Schlling is a six-time All-Star who has been with the Red Sox for four of his 20 seasons. Earlier this week, a post on Schilling's Web site, 38pitches.com, read, "For anyone interested please just assume things are happening with Boston without me mentioning it. Theo [Epstein] and I have spoken more than once but there will be no details or updates of these discussions." The Herald reported that the Astros, Diamondbacks and Phillies all contacted Schilling on the first day of free agency, but he posted on his Web site: "I made it clear to all three teams that my intent was to do whatever I could to resolve this and remain in Boston for the final year of my career. " In 2004, Schilling went 21-6 and helped lead the Red Sox to their first World Series title since 1918, but his velocity has diminished, After the Red Sox declined to give him an extension, Schilling said in February that he would become a free agent after the season. He said then he would return for Boston in 2008 for $13 million, the same salary he earned in 2007. While he wanted to stay, he also was ready in case he had to change teams. "We've prepared the kids that we may be moving again," wife Shonda said last weekend. [Hidden Content]
