If you can score on their Ace and play error free then East Bernard is beatable… 

That pitcher is really good. This is the 2nd year in a row we have played them in the 4th round.

I dont think you mean ill-will to Coldspring. 

However, did 3 consecutive "non-winning" seasons stop Hitchcock from going 11-2? and becoming a "team to beat" (by your words)? The previous 5 seasons for Hitchcock were worse than the five you identified for Coldspring and yet (all of a sudden) they became a "team to beat"? 

The basis of your point is diminished because one of the teams you identify as a "team to beat" had a worse 5-year span than Coldspring prior to being 11-2. This would indicate that it is possible for Coldspring with a much better 5-year span than what Hitchcock had prior to last season to "also go 11-2" or better? 

 

Had you asked me last season if Hitchcock was a team to beat I would have told you no. Because the prior year was not good. Same for CS. Win district and others may pay attention. Another thing is while Hitchock improved from 4-7 to 11-2 Coldspring went from 7-3 to 5-5. So what is to make anyone think they will be a contender? I'm saying Hitchcock because they are a young team that brings back everyone that went 3 rounds deep last season. They have shown signs of improvement while CS has not. So tell me what makes CS contenders now after losing more games then the previous season.

Understood, Hitchcock has a worse record over the same timeframe. Not sure I am following the logic. Columbus and Lorena are definitely big fish in the region. As stated, Coldspring is returning nearly the entire team and will upgrade over what lost on the OL/DL. Expect them to be much improved. Time will tell on how far they can make it in the playoffs. 

Hitchcock has had a better record over the past 5 years. 31 wins for Hitchcock while Coldspring is at 28. Hitchcock also is coming off a 11-2 year and made it 3 rounds while Coldspring went 5-5 and missed the playoffs. Like i said no ill will towards Coldspring I just don't see how they will make that jump to winning or in the region championship when the top 5 teams had young teams

Franklin 4 Fairfield 2 final

I think everyone has agreed that Franklin is the team to beat. Matchups from 4 years ago are irrelevant. Last year results are somewhat relevant but by no means a guaranteed indicator either. The Region goes through Franklin but everybody else is in play.

only reason i brought up 4-5 years ago was because the record does not stand out. In the last 5 years Coldspring went 5-5, 7-3, 8-3, 5-5, 3-8. When I think of teams to beat in Region 3 other then Franklin I think of Columbus, Lorena, Hitchcock, Cameron. I do think that Anahuac will be the most improved team in region 3 next year.

I dont disagree with anything you have said. Columbus seems like a definite factor based upon the results that you stated. Woodville and Diboll also played Franklin close. As previously mentioned, CS beat Diboll and played Woodville down to the wire.

Lorena certainly deserves consideration as well but no one other than Franklin is without question marks which would serve to accentuate the point that the Region is not "stacked" and could be had if a team "such as CS" were to significantly improve (which I anticipate they will). 

CS has the vast majority of a competitive team back (includes key skill players) and will add at least one impact player that will upgrade the box on both sides of the ball. 

Franklin was playing with their line up for the first 7 weeks of the season. Putting pieces in different places to see what works and still winning while doing this. Also the team was young on defense with only 5 starters back from the season before. Going by the Woodville and Diboll games that was played week 1 and 3 doesn't make sense. I have no ill will towards Coldspring but they would have to have improved a ton since the last time I seen them play. Only meetings between Coldspring and Franklin in recent years was in 18-19 and 19-20 (Franklin mainly 90% freshman and sophomores) which Coldspring was out scored 103-0. I hope I'm wrong and we can meet in the playoffs this next season. I like to see them do well when we are not playing them. But Lorena brings back a ton and was young as well was Columbus and Hitchcock. Region 3 is the best in the state in 3ad1. By no means will it be a cake walk for anyone and everyone will have to bring it every week or will be sent home week 1 of the playoffs

Franklin 10 Elkhart 0 final in 5

Franklin 10 Groesbeck 0 final in 5

7 of the top 10 is out of region 3 and 5 of the top 6

Franklin has played some good competition this season... #1 4a Bullard #14 3a Iowa Park, #14 5a Grapevine, #19 6a Southlake Carroll, tonight #9 3a Groesbeck. They will be battle tested come playoffs.
