Wait… where is Rusk!!? @KF89

Rusk still hanging in at #25 despite going 0-2 last 2 games, 1-3 last 4 games & 7-12 on the season. Eagles P.R. person is the best in the state😎

There are several folks who frequent this board that truly know the game of baseball and are great to have a discussion with and then there are folks who make comments like this one and few others in this thread. 
 
Here are few things to think about.......
1. There is no denying the rule in question that LCM called out BC on, it's in black and white, no dispute. What can be added to the conversation is that this practice of bringing up JV guys to the varsity game after they played their JV game is more common than most realize. It's happened for years. These guys occasionally get in the varsity game as pinch runners because if they were good enough to be an impact player they would be in the varsity lineup from the start. Next time you go to a varsity game take a look at the guys when they warm up, you can spot the ones who just got done playing. I'm not saying it happens every day but it happens more than most people know. 
2. Saying that a "coach got them" is a bad look. Regardless of whatever motive took place LCM gained nothing with the move, no district championship and a first round playoff exit. Bridge City forfeited the games in question and everybody moved on. At least most folks did.
3. The statement concerning "mentality" and "that's how they are coached at BC" shows just exactly how out of touch some people are. The staff at BC is one of the top in the area and the program has arguably been one of the best in the area for quite some time. You don't build a program like that, send dozens of players to the collegiate level (and now pro - Jake Lemoine) by teaching guys to blame someone else, that's just a really weak statement, by someone with little to no knowledge of the BC program, that holds no truth whatsoever.

P.S.
Umps didn't get them against Robinson, Chad Hollingsworth did. He was the Friday night guy for Univ of Texas. He was a good one.

Upset the apple cart.

Hands down OF is the deepest and best team in the district regardless of the standings. BC is probably 3rd overall but they will make it interesting with how they handle their staff for the rest of district play. If BC has any luck on their side and some of the other very good teams like Silsbee and OF either beat up on one another or have an off night BC may sneak up and surprise some folks. For the time being OF can be happy they more than likely don't see BC's #1 arm during district because that has the potential to be a coin flip if that happens. Even if OF see's BC's #1 they still have the edge because offensively they are just better. BC would certainly have a "puncher's chance" because good pitching has that effect.  BC has been down the last couple of years, especially offensively, so they are relying heavily on good pitching performances, scratching out a few hits, and solid defense until they can get some help from the younger classes coming up in the next couple of years. Until that time they will be vulnerable but certainly not out of the running.  This district is always so much fun to watch and will continue to be for quite some time. Great programs from top to bottom, period.

Seems like BC is good on Tuesdays (Oceguera) and not so good on Fridays.  

Hell at least these polls have Bellville’s record correct lol

Yeah … El Campo gave us a scare last night but it’s good to have those types of games IMO

Probably can switch Kountze and Westbrook.

Kountze wins 13-2 and goes to 7-1 in district 

1. Sinton (14-1)
2. Boerne (18-2)
3. Corpus Christi Calallen (13-5-1)
4. Argyle (13-2-1)
5. Texarkana Pleasant Grove (12-5)
6. Celina (10-3-1)
7. Sweeny (15-3)
8. China Spring (13-6)
9. Lufkin Hudson (14-5-1)
10. Longview Spring Hill (14-2)
11. Canyon Lake (14-3)
12. Bellville (14-3)
13. Aubrey (14-4-1)
14. Stephenville (11-4-1)
15. Rusk (4-9)
16. Robstown (11-7)
17. Corpus Christi Tuloso-Midway (14-4)
18. Orangefield (14-1-1)
19. Silsbee (13-3)
20. Hardin-Jefferson (13-5-1)
21. Andrews (10-5)
22. Midlothian Heritage (11-4-1)
23. Geronimo Navarro (12-8)
24. Alvarado (9-4)
25. Canton (12-3)

Watched the entire game on video. This is one of those games were a team's poor fielding cost them the game. Two errors scored three runs. Both errors with 2 outs.
Difference of the game.

If Rusk was missing their Ace that definitely would convert a few more wins their way. That district will be very competitive so we are about to see how good they really are.

Diboll moves to 16-1 after defeating #7 4a Hudson.  Diboll dropped a game vs 4a Carthage last week for first loss of season 4-3 in 8 innings 

He can’t pitch every game though. Well…. Unless they win the coin flip every round like last year’s playoffs lol 

Also Keithan Hancock from Kountze played for Northwestern State in 2006 when they won their first round game as a 14 seed. They defeated the 3 seed Iowa Hawkeyes that year

Maybe Navasota. I don’t see them beating Bellville, Sealy or El Campo…. But we are talking about High school kids. I’m looking at who these teams have played and scores to evaluate them so far (With the exception of Bellville who I have seen play a few times this year). Not trying to be a homer But Bellville is solid IMO

Nice 6 more wins, they will be 9-9 & this poll will have them #1

We finally get to kick off district play this week. For playoff matchup purposes down the road I’ll update this the scores and standings on this post every week. 
 
Tuesday 3/22 (weather permitting)
Navasota at Bellville 
Sealy at El Campo
Wharton at Brookshire Royal
Bellville should win the district but could possibly drop a game to El Campo or Sealy… Regardless I’d predict it will finish Bellville, El Campo, Sealy, and Navasota…. With all teams making it to Area after facing the HISD districts in the Bi District round

Sometimes it pays to be lucky and luck had a lot to do with that team.... coin flips, coin flips, coin flips. 

Idk why WOS is scrimmaging Woodville…
