A very competitve series. An unsatisfactory finish for WB. Austin Swindle pitched extremely well in all three games pitching 7 1/3 innings over three games only giving up three runs and nine hits while striking out five. Also Swindle had a hit in game 3 after being thrust into the batting order. Another notable is Aaron Bender who picked up the win in game 2 and came in and finished game 3. He threw 6 innings over two games and gave up three runs and only three hits while striking out five or six. A good performance by the senior pitching staff of the Bruins. Also notable was the Bruin defense who played extremely well the entire series. Im sure HighQualityBP will give a wonderful write up with much more detail.

There is no dispute that BH is the best team in the area this year.... but to say that it makes sense to judge upon district standings when not all the teams are in the same district... who knows how the game would turn out if every one of these teams played each other.... to me it would make sense to also judge upon strength in schedule in district perhaps... which may knock brook up a few ranks due to losses to teams in the top 10 in the greater houston area .. especially in 5a.... but also i cant contradict myself because who knows what the game would turn out to be... but unless there is a local tournament which consisted of all the teams on this website.. who knows... until then lets be smart and consider all outside forces such as strength in schedule and also add in their record but dont forget the quality of teams they play

These standings are not correct. [Hidden Content] These are correct.

This will be a good game and HJ will win but it won't be a blowout

Post the player and the school and how many home runs so far.

I have no affliation with any of those schools and my pick is defintely Taylor Hart. He dominates 21-3A.

Which pitchers are looking to be the best in SETX based on their performances so far?

HJ will win this one

Barbers hill win win even though both teams are scrounging for pitching at the moment

Jasper: They are the Defending State Champs

That's the thing 643. The Barbe hitters got hit a lot during the tournament because no matter where the pitchers threw they still didn't back off the plate. I guess to end this argument I will say that a hitter takes away the inside part of the plate when a pitcher cannot effectively throw inside. When a high school pitcher has so good control that he can spot up on the inside black against a nationally ranked team then you are right and the hitters do not take away the inside part of the plate. By the way congrats to the PNG pitchers for pitching so effectively.

By crowding the plate it makes it much more difficult for a pitcher to effectively pitch inside. Sure you are right about hammering the inside black, but i think the pitchers did that in the games against Barbe at the tournament, especially PNG since they came out victorious. You seem to forget, Tom House, that this is high school baseball and unlike the major leagues pitchers aren't going to be 100% accurate. I'm sure that Bender attempted at hammering the inside but it was just a night where he was wild.

I watched the game and Bender was extremely wild. On the bright side Micah Gibson came in relief and pitched very well through 2 2/3 innings. The Barbe team takes away the inside part of the plate by crowding the plate and they payed for it last night with Bender on the mound.
